The coffee is trash. Save yourself the hassle of having to cancel.

More subscriptions? LOL
First of all, you can get 3 months of free Panera+ without Apple Pay, so this promo is not that great.

I have espresso machine at home, so I would normally poo-poo their coffee. But I found their coffee to be pretty decent and $8.99/month is a great deal (normally costs more than $2) if you live near Panera.

Panera is owned by the same company that owns Peet's Coffee, and while Panera isn't at Peet's level, I find it to be better than Starbuck's. Yes, I realize most coffee snobs would rightly poo-poo Peet's and Starbucks. But just putting things into context.

I would prefer pastry subscription as my kids are addicted to their cinnamon crunch bagels.

You brought back a sad memory for me.

Back before COVID-19, my daily train commute to work would take me past Specialty's Bakery in Seattle, which served Peet's coffee (I love Major Dickason's) and made amazing pastries and quiches - a great place to pick up breakfast. Unfortunately Specialty's went under - permanently - around May 1 due to the effects of the pandemic (both the enforced shut-down and the overall drop in commuter business).

RIP, Specialty's - I miss you.
