• Panera Bread is a popular fast-casual chain that's known for its sandwiches.
• I tried every sandwich available at my nearest Panera and ranked them from worst to best.
• The bacon tomato grilled cheese was my least favorite option because its flavors weren't that exciting and it didn't have enough cheese.

Panera Bread Company — Panera, for short — is a fast-casual chain with over 2,000 locations across the United States and Canada.

The chain has soups, salads, and bakery items but is most known for its sandwiches. I'd never been to a Panera Bread, so what better way to experience the chain than by ordering every sandwich to figure out the best one?

At the time of writing, the Panera closest to me had 17 different sandwiches on its menu. I ordered the half-size of each, and it cost just over $130.

Here's every sandwich from Panera Bread, ranked from worst to best.

Editor's Note: Some bread substitutions were made throughout based on availability. Pricing and availability are based on a Brooklyn Panera Bread location and are subject to change. This taste test was completed in early March.
