At Panera Bread, Sweet + Spicy = 5 New ‘Swicy’ Menu Taste Sensations

Life can be spicy and life can be sweet, but when it comes to gustatory delights, Panera Bread’s “Swicy” new menu offerings are proof positive — and delicious — that making a sweet or spicy choice doesn’t have to be an either/or proposition. And after all, why choose when you can have the best of both flavor profiles?

Panera Bread’s Novel Menu Items Let Customers Mix Sweet With Heat

Making their Panera Bread menu debut is a delectable selection of five new bakery items, as well as a tasty trio of recently launched, soon-to-be-favorite croissant breakfast sandwiches: Croissant Bacon, Egg & Cheese, featuring applewood smoked bacon, scrambled egg, and melty aged white cheddar; Croissant Sausage, Egg & Cheese, serving up savory sausage, scrambled egg, and melty aged white cheddar; and Croissant Egg & Cheese, a superlatively satisfying classic combo of scrambled egg and melty aged white cheddar.

Panera Bread’s simply irresistible new menu sweets pair perfectly with many of the bakery-cafe’s spicy selections, giving happy customers the opportunity to enjoy an unexpected yet wholly enjoyable twist on classic flavors. With the proliferation of potential sweet-plus-heat pairings, a bold new set of certified go-to taste sensations is definitely on the horizon. Whether for breakfast, lunch, or pretty much anytime of day “swice lovers” who want to indulge their appetites for something sweet, hot, and extraordinary won’t be disappointed.

Did You Say a New Deal Where Sweet Meets Heat? Why, Yes We Did

To celebrate its latest menu additions, Panera Bread is offering a special Swicy deal that pairs the bakery-cafe’s mouthwatering new lineup of bakery goods with the recently introduced Spicy Fiesta Chicken Sandwich, a flavor extravaganza that brings together perfectly grilled chicken and creamy salsa verde spread that’s topped with melted aged white cheddar cheese, piquant sweet peppers, and smoky roasted corn, garnished with a zippy hint of cilantro, all served on Panera’s signature ciabatta bread.

At participating Panera Bread bakery-cafes in the U.S., guests with the urge to merge their passion for sweet and heat will be treated to a 50% discount on an accompanying confection of choice with the purchase of a Spicy Fiesta Chicken Sandwich and beverage. With so many tempting new creations on display in the bakery case, it might be difficult to make a decision, especially when the new selections include:

— Almond Pastry, a flaky, buttery baker’s dream loaded up with sweet almond filling, hand-drizzled with icing, and topped with crunchy almond slices.

— Cherry Pastry, another buttery, flaky delight filled with just-right tart cherry filling and complemented by a drizzle of sweet icing.

— Cranberry Orange Slice, a dreamy, moist, lightly orange-flavored cake dotted with whole cranberries, enhanced with sour cream, and topped with a sprinkle of coarse sugar for the perfect finishing touch.

— Coconut Macaroon, a classic sweet coconut macaroon cookie dipped in yummy chocolate — just like Grandma used to bake, only better.

— Chocolate Coconut Macaroon: Panera Bread takes the beloved macaroon to a new level of decadence with their full-on chocolate-coconut macaroon cookie lovingly dipped in chocolate to double up on the goodness.

— Back by popular demand (at participating locations) just in time for Halloween, the ever-popular pumpkin-shaped cookie, a jack-o’-lantern inspired shortbread favorite decorated with seasonal icing that’s all treat and no trick.

At Panera Bread, the Menu May Change, but the Mission Never Does

The Swicy deal is in keeping with Panera Bread’s ongoing mission of doing their utmost to ensure customer satisfaction by providing an always evolving menu of new selections and great deals.
