About Panera Bread

Panera Bread serves New Milford from 169 Danbury Road, right in the middle of New Milford. Its listing also places it among bakery cafés.

Our New Milford directory counts 4 bakeries in total, which works out to one bakery per 7,186 residents. If you want to compare, El Cisne Bakery sits 0.3 mi from here.

Panera Bread opens as early as 6 AM and stays open until 9 PM on its longest day, for about 104 hours across 7 days a week. Both weekend days are on the schedule.

Good to know: takeout, delivery, and a drive-through are available. The brand runs 1,910 locations we track across the country.

Panera traces its roots to the St. Louis Bread Company, which opened in Kirkwood, Missouri, in 1987; Au Bon Pain acquired it in 1993 and developed it into the Panera Bread concept, and some St. Louis-area cafes still carry the original name. The fast-casual chain is known for its Broccoli Cheddar Soup in a sourdough bread bowl, toasted sandwiches, salads and bakery items like the Cinnamon Crunch Bagel.

  • The last hour before closing tends to be quiet, and some bakeries discount day-old bread then.
