We love Panera's and have one in our neighborhood. Thanks for the heads up. I will check back later when you have more details.

will this be regional or national? i like panera's.

I love Panera. Hope it's national. Thanks for the heads up.

Hope it's national because IMHO Panera's coffee is infinitly better than Star Bucks. I make the Mr. take me there every Sun. morning for coffee and a bagle. TU & repped.

I work at a Panera in Mooresville, NC and we were told about this today. I don't have a link or any details yet, but I will update as soon as I do.

Just a heads up!

Edit- Had a meeting at work today, they told us that all day on Jan 28th a complementary medium coffee with be handed out. Customers will also be able to sample new breakfast items such as the strawberry granola parfait. Advertising will begin on January 14th. In addition, employees will be able to hand out coupons starting 1/29 until 2/11 (I believe) for a free cup of coffee to encourage customers to try Panera's newest coffees :)

Here is a link (scroll to end of the article)- http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20090108/GPG05/901080368

I am at Panera now in MWC, OK. They are gave me a free samples of the strawberry parfait. I must admit that I probably never would have ordered it, but after tasting the sample I would. It is really tasty!

I thought this wasn't until Jan 28?

I just had Panera broccoli cheddar soup for lunch :yummy:
Can't wait to try the parfait..Ive heard its really good.

I thought this wasn't until Jan 28?
IDK, they had signs up for the Jan 28th event. But the cashier gave me a free sample. Not about to say I'll wait till the 28th and turn it down :lol:

Anyhow, from what I gather on the 28th there will be free coffee and a variety of free samples. Today was just the parfait

Individual Panera locations frequently give out free samples (usually bagels, though) to promote new products.

Extra: On Jan. 28, Panera is offering customers a complimentary cup of coffee for Share the Warmth Day, with donations benefiting Honor Flight, a fundraising program for World War II veterans in Wisconsin.

Yup, here is another link:

You should call your local Panera just to make sure. The Panera I work at has signs up, too :)

In the St. Louis, Mo (Metro Area) market, Panera = St. Louis Bread Co. for all Corporate stores, the Corp. Office is matching up to $250 per store in donations for Operation Doughnation.

Make sure you get out and get a free tasty coffee and donate a buck or two, it all goes to a good cause!

Same going on in Waco Texas at our Panera, proceeds going to a local charity (which I can't remember right now) as stated in the Sunday paper.

My Panera has already started serving the "new" coffee. I hope they switch back. The new stuff is terrible. But I am a coffee snob. But I still love their food : ]

Cool, thanks! Free coffee Monday (McDonalds) and now this Wednesday, "I'm lovin' it!"

ok besides the coffee... what "samples" are they giving out?

Yay!!! Thanks, have one near me. :woot2:

free sex. we all pay for it either in cash or kind.

COOL!!! TY REp'd

Do you know if it's at every location?

Should be, it's on the website and doesn't say that it's only at certain locations - so I'm assuming it's all over.

This is a slick deal...

Apparently this was posted already! http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=313164&t=1109407

FYI, this is a fundraising even for charity. I heard them talking about it yesterday on the radio. I believe they are asking for a $1.00 donation minimum.

Do you think they looked at the weather forecast in the Northeast and made these plans? 4-6 inches of snow today. I'll just make coffee at home. But good deal if your out and about.

Decided to work from home today because of the ice and snow. Even decided to make my own coffee, that was a mistake. Got one of the black and decker 2 cup coffe makers. Last time I used it I made two cups. Forgot to reset it back to one cup and ended up with a half cup of hot water all over the counter and floor. :(

I miss when I could work from home especially weather like this. I barely made to work today. I like Panera coffee though.

This is a great offer. Thank you very much!

Do you know if it's at every location?

Yes, this is at every location for the free coffee, as well as the samples. Coffee is free all day, refills, free all day!

Just came back from Panera. Usually I don't go there anymore, but decided to come back. Great lunch although expensive, and free coffee. They had paper and regular cups set up by the coffee pots, so it was self-service kind of thing. They had 4 or 5 types of coffee to choose from.

thanks!!

They're supposed to be offering free samples of their new offerings as well.

Awesome! Randomly in Panera to study anyway. Weird thing was, I was reading this line to check out freebie on SD when manager at my Panera walked up and gave me a free souffle to compliment my coffee! I thought it was that my manager is super cool (though he is, he frequently gives me free coffee). The new light roast is better than before. I had previously stuck to their Hazelnut. Gonna check the dark roast next.
