Panera Launches 2 Drink Categories and a ‘Bold’ New Cookie

Panera is launching a new lineup of Energy Refreshers and caffeine-free Frescas nationwide, following the discontinuation of its highly caffeinated Charged Lemonades in 2024. The new beverages offer caffeine levels equivalent to a cup of tea and are made with high-quality ingredients like real fruit. The move is part of Panera’s effort to redefine its premium beverage experience and expand its pastry variety, including a new Dubai Style Chocolate Pistachio Cookie.
