How To Get Free Coffee From Panera All Summer

This just might be the best news for coffee lovers everywhere. Panera just announced a new campaign for summer and, yes, it involves free coffee. Here's everything you need to know.

On Monday (June 22), Panera announced #FREECOFFEE4SUMMER. This new initiative allows anyone signed up for the MyPanera+Coffee subscription to receive free, unlimited premium hot coffee, hot tea and iced coffee until Labor Day. After Labor Day, however, the MyPanera+Coffee subscription will cost customers $8.99 per month plus tax for unlimited monthly coffee orders.

In order to take advantage of a summer full of free coffee, Panera customers must sign up for the MyPanera+Coffee subscription by July 4. Customers will be prompter to enter their credit card information upon signing up, however, they will not be charged until after Labor Day.

Once you've signed up for the MyPanera+Coffee subscription, you'll be able order any size and any flavor of coffee once every two hours with unlimited refills in the bakery-cafe. According to the press release, Panera's drip and iced coffee offerings include two coffee blends—Light Roast and Dark Roast, freshly ground every day and made from 100% Arabica whole beans. Both coffee blends are available with this subscription, as well as Decaf and Hazelnut options.

"We asked America if they wanted it, and the answer was a resounding YES—so we're excited to kick off a summer of free, unlimited premium coffee for our guests through Labor Day," Eduardo Luz, Chief Brand & Concept Officer for Panera Bread said in the press release. "This is our way of sharing the famous Panera Warmth in a new way, as we may be all celebrating summer a little differently this year."
