Based on their very flavorful spicy gingerbread chocolate chip cookie, I have given them a four star rating for their food.
Portions are very over priced. There is no grill so everything is packaged food. Fresh items are the cookies and anything with bread like cream cheese bagel, etc. They still have steak wraps from 2 days ago in the refrigerator. So be careful about anything in the fridge area. I wish they offered discounts for hospital staff since it’s in the basement of the hospital and overcharging.
Every time we walk by, it smells amazing. We love having you close for a quick coffee or a warm pastry that saves the morning.

Au Bon Pain is a beloved cafe located conveniently near the Elmhurst hospital, providing a welcoming respite for patients and staff alike. The aroma of freshly baked pastries and coffee lures in passersby, making it a popular destination for a quick breakfast or a warm treat.
The menu offers a variety of delectable options, including the crowd-favorite Jalapeno Cheddar bagels. Customers praise the staff's exceptional service, with one reviewer highlighting the exceptional assistance provided by Martin, who went above and beyond to fulfill a special order. The cafe is praised for its cleanliness, comfortable seating arrangements, and the speed at which orders are processed.
While some customers have noted that the pricing can be on the higher side, especially for items like croissants, the cafe is praised for its affordable options, such as the $1.89 bagels with free jelly and butter. The Jalapeno Cheddar bagel, in particular, has become a beloved menu item, with one reviewer describing it as "one of the best items" they've had during their dialysis treatment.
Despite occasional stock shortages, such as the recent lack of jelly, the cafe is generally regarded as a reliable and welcoming establishment, catering to the diverse needs of the hospital community.
