Mocha latte was sweeter than I wanted. Would rather sweeten up than start sweet. Also bathrooms could use a lot more love. Both in regards to cleanliness and maintenance of equipment. The gentleman mopping the floors was quite nice and helped me when he noticed I didn't have my receipt for the bathroom code I was treated by my friend who had already departed.
My first sandwich from this place was delicious. It took me a good 6 minutes to figure out which one I wanted but my eyes kept rolling back to the Turkey&Swiss with butter a pecan spread. It was an excellent choice where savory meets sweet. Must try! Great location, nice seating area and nice servers
Perfect place. Staffs are so nice and helpful. One of the best café in midtown.
The store was pretty quiet since the midday rush had disappeared. The soup and sandwich that had was very good. The lady at checkout wasn't very friendly, however the sandwich guy was very patient with me and asked questions while he made my sandwich. Overall it was a good visit.
It was a nice day so my co-worker and I decided to have lunch outside and try Au Bon Pain ! We were very happy about our choice ! I love the chicken with avocado. The multigrain bread tasted extremely fresh and the strawberry lemonade was good, not too sweet. I love the fact they have indoor and outside seating, variety of food and drink choices, and they have great customer service. I will definitely eat here again to try more food options.
Pretty good, loved their cheese broccoli soup and hot sandwiches. And the baked / pastry items are really fresh and good. Chocolate croissant is awesome. Coffee is a bit on a weak side and tasted slightly burned, but not a big deal.
For breakfast I highly recommend the asiago bagel if you're into cheese and calories - so worth it! For lunch I typically do a salad since you can customize and they chop them. This location is pretty spacious and has quite a few seats. When it's nice out they also have a small section of outdoor seating under umbrellas.
Excellent prices in the middle of Manhattan.. Excellent service and kind staff. Great quality food. Best sandwiches I've had in a while. Around $6 for a fresh, hot sandwich with fresh veggies and meats, and coffee!
The person that makes the sandwiches was very rude. Very unexperienced, she burned the bread wrap, she wrapped it with another one ! I was ordering for 5 people. She asked to pay for the first 4 orders then order the 5th one. If you can avoid this place is better. Au Bon Pain is not what it used to be unfortunately !
I like Au Bon Pain's food and would go to the location on the concourse in Rockerfeller by the subway and they always seemed to be on point, that location closed but, this particular location needs new staff. The weekends are worse! I work on the weekend nearby and first off it is hit or miss if they're open at 7. Second, the other person who commented that they're inexperienced is so right. They can barely make what you ask or know how to use the equipment! I stopped going. New staff please and better training.
