Panera Turned Its Iconic Cinnamon Crunch Latte Into a Breakfast Sandwich, And Fans Can't Wait to Try It
Now that fall is just weeks away, getting into the spirit of the season is basically a given. And with the avalanche of fall-flavored drinks, snacks and apparel dropping each day in anticipation of the coziest season of the year, it makes you wonder if there is even enough time in a day to get a taste of them all.

Jumping on the fall flavors train, Panera Bread is bringing back the fan-favorite Cinnamon Crunch Latte as an official kickoff to the season. The autumn-themed beverage features Panera’s freshly brewed espresso combined with foamed milk and cinnamon-flavored syrup. The drink, which is available hot or iced, is finished with a generous swirl of whipped cream and Panera’s iconic Cinnamon Crunch topping. The drink is inspired by the flavor of the Cinnamon Crunch Bagel, a super popular menu item that racks up 85,000 orders a day and over half a million per week.
With numbers like that, it’s no wonder Panera would capitalize on the fall-themed monster that they created. Beginning on August 30 (that's tomorrow!), the Cinnamon Crunch Latte has a new companion on the menu: the Ham, Egg and Cheese on a Cinnamon Crunch Bagel.

The delicious breakfast sandwich includes Black Forest ham, scrambled egg and aged white cheddar cheese for the perfect salty-sweet start to your day. If there was any way to take Panera’s top-selling bagel to the next level, this would absolutely be it. And, of course, we'd suggest pairing the sandwich with a Cinnamon Crunch Latte to keep the theme going.
If you can't wait until tomorrow to try this, there is a way to sample the sandwich sooner. MyPanera members can get a taste of the new breakfast item today, August 29. And if you want to hang on to summer for just a little bit longer, Panera also brought back two summer menu items that are very much worth a gander.
