I have celiac disease. I have never before been able to eat at Panera bread until recently. It was an amazing experience! I ordered online and I could easily find gluten free options by putting "Panera Bread gluten free" into Google. The official Panera Bread website came up with a list of gluten free soups and salads, a long with a choice of sides. The only downside is that the online ordering didn't have a gluten free section so you did have to Google for the separate menu and in order to signify the need of gluten free I put Gluten Free under special instructions. Tasty food! Definitely would eat there again.
Yes
A safe option would be their mango smoothie and green goddess chicken Cobb salad. Both are very good. They don't have many gluten free options and I'm not sure how safe they are about cross contamination.

Not completely gluten free, but when I told the woman “gluten allergy” she said the salads and a soup do not have gluten ingredients. She said they change gloves/use clean utensils and called it back as a “sideline.” I was eating in but they packaged it in a plastic to go with a lid to keep it separate.

Terrible the lady at the register wouldnt even look into gluten free. She said we don't do that here. Like I was trying to get anything GF and she wouldn't even bother helping me or asking. But would help the next lady with her food allergy

I ordered the green goddess salad which is gluten free. But got sick after eating. I think it's a bit or miss thing due to cross contamination. But I won't eat there again.
