Crafting distinctively delicious food starts early morning in Au Bon Pain cafe. While our bakers line the shelves with hot, freshly baked pastries, muffins, bagels and scones, other team members brew our rich coffee and espresso blends from the highest-quality Arabica beans, set up the health smart oatmeal bar, and prepare dozens of fresh eggs for nourishing breakfast sandwiches. Their passion for quality and freshness continues throughout the day with mouthwatering sandwiches and wraps served on freshly baked breads; hearty soups, stews and macaroni and cheese; enticing salads topped with our signature dressings; and assortments of cut and whole fresh fruit; cheese and crackers; energy bars; nuts; yogurt and indulgent cupcakes, cookies and brownies.

Au Bon Pain caters to today's sophisticated but time-constrained customer in many ways. One day you may enjoy a made-to-order customized sandwich or salad, designed by you and prepared just the way you like it. And the next day, you may only have time to grab a pre-made salad, sandwich, wrap or snack. But no matter how you shop Au Bon Pain, we promise that our food will always be delicious and fresh and our service fast and friendly.

Au Bon Pain--Taste the goodness in every flavor-full bite!
