Panera Bread - Plainfield

Nikki is the funniest and kindest person I've encountered. I'm feeling a bit down tonight, missing my little ones, but when I ordered some food, her sense of humor and beautiful smile instantly lifted my spirits. I've been going through a tough time lately, and she has no idea how much her positive energy has brightened my day. Thank you so much! P.S. I really appreciate how she interacts with her team and lends a helping hand!

I went with my two grandchildren, and it's their favorite lunch spot. The boys enjoyed grilled cheese and macaroni and cheese, while I had an Asian crunch salad and my husband opted for a chicken sandwich. Everything was delicious and just the right portion. For dessert, the boys had a cookie and a muffin.

The sandwiches and salads here are really tasty, but the prices have gone up so much that I don't think it's worth it anymore. $20 for a full sandwich and a half salad feels excessive, especially since those are the lower-priced items on the menu.
