The perfect way to spend summer is to join a club you love, don’t you agree?
As the temperature climbs, summer is knocking at our door. Panera knows how to pair their soup, salad, or sandwich with what they offer. There’s no better pair than a refreshing beverage, of course. That is why Panera is offering something new this week as they unveil the Summer of Free Sips in partnership with Pepsi, STARRY, and rugby star Ilona Maher!
Aside from being a star athlete and social media sensation, Ilona Maher is part of a club that only most people dream of. For Maher, there’s one club that quenches your thirst for value and variety. It’s none other than Panera’s Unlimited Sip Club.
All new subscribers who sign up between June 3 to June 30, 2025, will get to score three full months of endless fountain drinks, both hot and iced coffee, teas, and more. They’re the perfect pair for summer picnics, road trips, pool days, and even as a post-workout cool down.
Now, what’s Panera’s Unlimited Sip Club? Well, it’s a gold standard summer membership that offers subscribers the following perks:
- A new drink every two hours
- A choice of over 20 drink options, such as Pepsi-Cola fountain favorites
- Orders via the Panera app and or even in-cafe

What’s Panera Up to This Year?
It’s just the first six months of the year, yet Panera has outdone itself with new innovations and releases it unveiled. Last month, Panera brought back a Northeast location’s menu specials of lobsters. They come in two varieties: Lobster Roll and Lobster Mac & Cheese. First off, the Lobster Roll features lobster claw and knuckle meat tossed in lemon tarragon mayo-based dressing. While the price may vary by location, it costs $12.49 to $21.49, depending on the size.
Also, the Lobster Mac & Cheese is a velvety smooth Vermont White Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese. It’s topped with buttered claw and knuckle lobster meat plus Panko breadcrumbs. The price starts at $22.99 plus tax.
It was also a month ago when Panera offered a unique item up for grabs. Have you ever thought about getting a clutch at Panera? Yup, that’s right. They’ve brought us the viral Baguette Bag, and now, they continue to be a carb couture of the season with their Panera Croissant Clutch. It’s a limited-edition bag that’s inspired by the brand’s new Croissant Toast Sandwiches. You can purchase the clutch from the brand’s official online store. However, they’re currently sold out.
Meanwhile, Panera found a new bread innovation last April and brought it to life. They launched their first-ever Croissant Toast Bread, wherein they used a croissant dough to create a sandwich. Bread experts from the brand transformed the classic, all-butter croissant dough into a layered and flaky bread that they have never offered before. You can even choose from the two varieties, which are the following:
- Croque Monsieur Croissant Toast – A sandwich filled with black forest ham, melty provolone and asiago cheeses that are combined with caramelized onions. A gruyere spread feature also goes with a ham and cheese sandwich reimagined.
- Fromage Croissant Toast – A croissant sandwich filled with provolone and asiago cheeses, caramelized onions, arugula, and garlic aioli. It’s an upgrade to a familiar sandwich that you know and love.

Popeyes’ Chicken Wraps
While we await McDonald’s grand reveal of their Snack Wraps, we’re getting some from Popeyes as they launch their new Chicken Wraps. It features the legendary Louisiana flavor through its hand-breaded and battered chicken tenders, lettuce, shredded cheese, and pickles. They come in three varieties: Classic, Spicy, and Honey Mustard.
Along with the wraps, Popeyes also released beverages to pair with them. The Blueberry Lemonade and Tea beverage lineup includes Blueberry Lemonade (Chilled or Frozen), Blueberry Cane Sweet Tea, and Blueberry Unsweet Tea. They’re all available now at participating Poepeys locations nationwide.
Tim Hortons x Ryan Reynolds
It’s not a Deadpool collab, but it’s an actual meal collab with the actor Ryan Reynolds called Ryan’s Scrambled Eggs Loaded Breakfast. He created a made-to-order breakfast platter, consisting of two scrambled eggs made from freshly cracked ones. There’s also your crispy hash browns and your choice of sausage crumble or bacon strips. Want to know the best part? They’re all smothered in Tim Horton’s iconic Chipotle sauce. You can also order them as wraps if you’re on the go.
This exciting collaboration comes with a commercial in partnership with Maximum Effort, wherein it spoofs his “rider” as his assistant gets him a breakfast from Tim Hortons just the way he likes it. What are you waiting for? Get them now as they’re available in the U.S. and Canada at Tim Hortons stores.

From The Club
Unlimited drinks are something I never thought of, so I think it’s cool for Panera to create a club for that. I guess it’s a timely offer, as a refreshing drink with a warm sandwich looks perfect. Imagine getting unlimited fountain drinks? You have to keep that beverage machine away from me!
