when does panera stop serving breakfast

Panera Bread usually stops serving breakfast around 10:30 a.m., with a few small variations by day and location.

Quick Scoop

• On most weekdays , Panera stops serving breakfast at about 10:30 a.m.

• On weekends , many cafes still list 10:30 a.m. as the cutoff, though some sources and locations note up to 11:00 a.m.

• After breakfast ends, Panera switches to the lunch menu, but bakery items (bagels, pastries, coffee) are still available later in the day.

• Exact times can vary by cafe, mall location, or drive‑thru schedule, so checking your specific store’s hours online or in the app is the safest move.

A common pattern people mention in online discussions is showing up a bit after 10:30 a.m. and being told breakfast is “over” because equipment is already cleaned and the line has switched to lunch prep, so staff typically cannot make egg sandwiches after that point.

If you really want a hot breakfast sandwich, aim to be in line by 10:15 a.m.; if you just want a bagel or pastry, you can usually get those well beyond the breakfast cutoff.
