The attention of the staff and their desire to work is very notable. They sell excellent apple juice that I couldn't find anywhere else.Good food options.

The man at the register was very pleasant and helpful..... the woman who made the sandwich was dismissive and short not very pleasant or customer service forward....I shouldn't have to ask where to place my order because she hasn't asked how she could help me....

Great spot to grab something quick before and during work. Staff is really friendly. Food is good and fresh.
Don't even think about getting food until you've checked out at the register. When the credit card reader is malfunctioning, a sign will be hung on it. The man in the glasses will ignore you even if you are a regular customer. He'll just sit there and give you the evil eye for not reading the credit card machine's instructions. He should have the front and side door signs indicating that the machine is broken hung if he has trouble communicating that information. I called to let them know, and in the background I could hear him berate his customers for being illiterate. Perhaps more people would not enter the store if the sign were displayed prominently at the entrance. It will be quite some time before I return here.

Year after year, straight through the pandemic, the food at Au Bon Pain is good. I really like the seasonal themed sandwiches. The soups are also great. Pastries melt in your mouth. I especially adore the cinnamon rolls. Chocolate covered almonds are good, too. Staff are always very pleasant and helpful. If you visit enough, staff will learn your name. Really cozy place to eat, whether inside or outside in the courtyard. I keep coming back.

I worked at this building when this restaurant opened in 1996 and it was great. But on a recent visit back, we were VERY disappointed to find that it had all gone down hill to the point of feeling foreign.It was a beautiful day but the doors were shut tight and the interior was unbearably hot. Management had one giant fan blower in the middle of the space, and it didn't seem clean or well stocked, everyone sat outside.The 3 employees who were working were running around as if their lives depended on it. They were clearly overworked and unhappy and there was a line of 8 people waiting, while one and then two people made sandwiches.Meanwhile, a young manager occasionally patrolled but spent most of his time seated nearby, scrolling on his cell phone while customers waited in the heat. And to add insult to injury, the sandwich didn't taste too bad but my stomach was upset that evening so I won't bother visiting again.
