Quick answer: Panera’s unlimited coffee subscription is now called Sip Club, and it is no longer truly unlimited. According to Panera’s current terms, it costs $14.99 a month or $119.99 a year plus tax and covers up to 30 drinks per period, one every two hours, including drip coffee, plain iced coffee and hot tea.
Panera launched its unlimited coffee subscription in 2020 at $8.99 a month. It later grew into the Unlimited Sip Club, which added tea, soda and other drinks, and in August 2026 Panera added a cap of 30 drinks per billing period. Here is how the program works now and whether it is still worth it.

What does Panera Sip Club include?
These details come from Panera’s Sip Club terms and conditions (effective October 9, 2026). Panera can change them, so check the page before you subscribe.
- Price: $14.99 per month or $119.99 per year, plus tax.
- Drink cap: up to 30 drink redemptions per period (your monthly billing cycle, or a rolling 30-day period on the annual plan). Unused drinks don’t roll over.
- Two-hour rule: after you redeem a drink, the next one unlocks two hours after that order is picked up or delivered.
- Eligible drinks: drip hot coffee, plain cafe blend iced coffee, hot tea, fountain sodas and select bubbler drinks. Free refills may apply during the same visit in the cafe.
- Not included: espresso and cappuccino drinks, specialty iced coffees, smoothies, frozen drinks, hot chocolate, bottled drinks, Energy Refreshers and Frescas. Add-ons such as syrups, cold foam or an extra espresso shot cost extra.
- Requirements: a MyPanera account, age 18 or over, one subscription per person and no sharing.
Is Panera Sip Club worth it?
It depends on how often you visit. At $14.99 a month, using all 30 drinks works out to about 50 cents a drink. If you only stop in once or twice a week, you are paying more per drink than the headline suggests. It makes most sense if you already pass a Panera most days and drink plain drip or iced coffee or tea. If you prefer lattes and other espresso drinks, they aren’t covered.
If you are trying to cut what you spend on coffee, compare it with brewing at home. Our article on why buying coffee every day adds up runs through the numbers, and a coffee bean subscription is another way to get good coffee delivered.
How do you sign up and use Sip Club?
Join or sign in to MyPanera, then add Sip Club from the Panera subscription page or the app. To use it, order an eligible drink and apply your Sip Club reward at checkout in the app, at a kiosk or at the register by giving your MyPanera details.
