I come here, because it is near my job. I normally get their treats, but since it was cold I decided to try their soups. I was sampling their soups, they only had 3 or 4 to sample. As I'm there sampling before deciding what flavor to buy.
I am being followed and then stared at by a gentleman who says in a condescending tone
Man: You gonna buy a soup?
Me: Yes, why
Man: I see you sampled 3 soups already I wanna make sure you buy.
Me: Yes. I'm seeing what they taste like, before I decide on one. Why are so quick to assume I'm not paying. Is it- (cuts me off)
Man: I gotta look out for my store! (He walks off)
I almost felt like I was racially profiled. I didn't do anything different than I've done in other Au Bon Pain stores, but was even more appalled to find out this man who goes by the name of Edward is their store manager. Incredibly rude and no customer service skills for someone who represents their store in a managerial capacity. It seems other people have shared some experience of his rudeness based on other reviews and it has rubbed off on some of his staff members. I think I was racially profiled on Martin Luther King day of all days 1/18/16. SMH
If you ever get to read this Edward, please learn to approach customers with more respect. Maybe a " Hello, excuse me, but we only allow a certain number of samples of the soups" is much better than your abrasive judgmental approach. While I like Au Bon Pain products, I will not come to this particular store again and will let my all my co-workers in my building know to avoid this location if possible.
You had ONE JOB Au bon Pain. One job! And that was the turkey cubano I wanted.
I had been seriously craving a cubano from Sophie's, but given how I've been on this whole "healthier eating" kick I decided to turn it down a notch and get a turkey one from here.
So its supposed to be shaved turkey breast, ham, relish and mustard on ciabatta. Ok it's no Sophie's but I was willing to give it a try. Until they told me they were out of ham. Out of ham? Really?
The guy making my sandwich offered to substitute chicken breast which I said was fine, but honestly all I got was a hot fowl sandwich. Not a cubano.
I love this Au Bon Pain. Ok I love it cause its right near my folks place and I load up before going home. Im a big fan of the Thai Chicken wrap which has white meat chicken, carrots, avocado and a good peanut sauce. My new obsession is this thing called the Crosbun which I guess is their take on the Cronut. It is a muffin type bun with a croissant style texture, filled with a stupid good Mocha ganache and topped with raspberries. Insane. I wonder why my waist is growing…the cherry danishes are pretty good too. Service is fast and friendly.
I love an Au Bon Pain bagel with land O'Lakes butter and the pastries! Apologies to my arteries. Compared to other Au Bon Pain's I've patronized this location is whack. The lighting in here is very poor and it's not inviting at all. A manager never seems to be visible and forget about a greeting. The young lady who prepares the sandwiches and bagels has the driest personality and usually utters something inaudible with a blank stare when I walk up. She might be saying "go eff yourself" but I can hardly hear her, so I in turn just order a bagel.
I give them 3 stars because I love their bagels -which tend to be fresh, the flavored coffee and it's never crowded.
I went there Sunday noon. -2 stars because the really poor selection of beard and salad for a regular day) less than 1/4 of the shelves are filled with bread and I guess prolly left overs from previous days….) not sure if because that it's weekend and they don't expect many clients. -1star because I wanted to buy some gem/holiday season specials that I saw at Woodbury outlet store yesterday and found none there….. I indeed enjoyed the visit at Woodbury yesterday and decided to visit again today.. Very disappointing experience, and think I would cross out it from my visit list for now.
I am so happy that there is an Au Bon walking distance from my office.
This review is based on a single visit to this location.
I got the soup and half sandwich combination and it was the perfect portion for lunch and for the price.
Instead of half a sandwich I chose half a wrap (it is just a smaller version of regular wrap) so that I could satisfy my hot soup craving and also have my favorite Thai Peanut Chicken wrap.
There were a lot of soups to choose from, which I was pleasantly surprised to see in what looks like a smaller location than I'm used to.
On New Years day, nothing else was open. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The quality of the ingredients was quite good. Despite it's messy presentation, I liked the crust of the bread, the way that the turkey shreds apart, and the generous heap of avocado. The only thing wrong with it was the sickeningly sweet honey mustard sauce. The ingredients are good enough to speak for themselves, no need to overdress.
2 stars because staff is wonderful but I am sorrowly disappointed in the lack of inventory because its a cafe…not the full service store. all baked goods are delieved not baked in store so the quality does not serve public interest, just more like selling up to a quota. They never are stocked with enough baked goods.
Their breakfast sandwiches arent made on a grill. More like Starbuck… Its cooked in a big microwave. This cafe cheapens the brand and makes me want to boycott it because it is not fully operational or they don't practice proper inventory management
