The roast beef and herb cheese sandwich is pretty good.

Salads are a lunchtime staple for me. Usually I'll bring a salad from home, but some days I go out in search of salad. One particular day brought me to Au Bon Pain. I don't know what I was expecting...no, wait, I do know what I was expecting. I was expecting a freshly made salad. I saw the pre-made grab-n-go salads in their refrigeration case, but I wanted fresh! I saddled up to the registered and asked for a nicoise salad thinking that they would prepare a fresh one for me. Nuh-uh! No ma'am! The clerk behind the register walked around front and grabbed one of the pre-made salads. Say wha...? I coulda done that! Boo! Au Bon Pain. Booooooo!!!

I had the same experience as Amy H. I guess I'm just used to the Wells location and thought they made fresh salads. I waited by the counter with my order form and made awkward eye contact with the employee as he made a sandwich. I gave him my order form and he walked over to the refrigerated case and grabbed a pre-made salad for me. I ordered a small soup at the register and the cashier acted like it was a huge hassle! I don't know what possessed me to try this location but I will stick to the one on Wells.

As far as lunch goes, this place is a last resort. It's not that it isn't tasty or there aren't plenty of options; for some reason it just doesn't rev my engine the way other lunch places do. And if I am going to be spending $9 on lunch I want them to put it in neutral and step on it. ABP, not so much. It's your basic soup, salad, sando menu. You can combo it up, add a drink and some chips blah blah blah... I've been there, done that. I do love their breakfast treats, so they get three stars. The asiago bagel with plain cream cheese is a good mild hangover cure. The asiago cheese breakfast sando with bacon is a good super duper hangover cure. And a note to all of you orange soda lovers out there... They carry Tropicana Orange Soda which is, imo, the best of the best (sorry Orange Crush). Do with that tidbit what you will!

This is a terrible Au Bon Pain. Went in there for an early dinner. I was without my glasses and had trouble seeing the menu, so I asked for a paper one. They don't have those. Granted, it was my fault I couldn't see but still...come on! I ended up building my own sammie but they don't have pickles. How does a sandwich place not have pickles? My boyfriend ordered a sandwich that listed lettuce and tomato on the ingredients...he received neither. I will NOT be returning to this location.

My friend found a tooth pick in her soup. I got a sandwich with rotten roast beef. There's no reason for the people who work here to wear gloves because they just do disgusting things with the gloves on. It's extremely over priced. 8 dollars for a bowl of rice with some chicken on it? No thank you.

Besides the fact the food is pretty standard, the staff here is GREAT. They remember my name, make small conversation when you're waiting for your food, and are very kind. +1 for that because it really keeps me coming back. I wish there was a tip jar, I'd tip them every time!

Four stars because the staff here are excellent. They've come to recognize me and somewhat remember what I generally order in the morning, so that's pretty awesome. They're very friendly and pleasant. The sandwiches they make fresh are also delicious; I always get a cheddar and egg with ham on a asiago bagel, because I like to go big or go home. This beats anything else I could grab for breakfast from the surrounding competition (McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, etc.) Prices on the food can be a little high, and the premade stuff that sort of sits out all morning isn't great. A large iced coffee is less than $2, though, and they always have a dark roast ready to go. Overall, it's a great choice for a quick stop before work.

This place was alright. I mean, the food was good, but it's no better than your standard panera or other chain like soup and delis out there. The offerings are not really adventurous and like I said, nothing unique. The building itself is very nice, bright, and open. The front patio has plenty of seating. I got the chicken pomodoro on chibatta. Very simple sandwich and the flavor was there. I'd be back, but only if I was in a rush and close by. I

"Ms De De" at the register is the John Nash (re Beautiful Mind) of retail. Sees hundreds of people each day and remembers everyone's previous order each and every time. Besides her this food is tasty, reasonably priced and served quickly. Big thumbs up!

The mac-n-cheese is piping hot, gooey and cheesy (not too cheesy), noodles are al dente and for a lunch under 6 bucks in the Loop, it can't be beat. However, the salads are just so so and not worth your dime. Rarely if ever fresh as you wait, they're a ripoff and nothing to write home about, much less eat. While ABP's breakfast sandwiches seem so good in print; trust me, they're not. While they are made fresh to order, the white cheddar is somehow lost in the rubberyness of the poached style eggs and you end up with lots of sodium (whether you have bacon on the sandwich or not) on a too salty bagel or greasy croissant. Stick with McDonald's...it's cheaper and tastier.

Waste of money! Below average sandwich. Watery cream soup. Slow staff. Dirty dining room.

I've stopped to grab breakfast here several time, and the only reason I continue to do so is because I cut through 181 W Madison on my way from the train to work. Now that I've tried the Caffe Baci across the street, I doubt if I'll ever come back. The breakfast sandwiches are bland and over priced. I was incredibly excited to try the egg white and avocado breakfast sandwich only to be extremely disappointed by what I was given. The sandwich was flavorless, and the avocado was scarce. The lemon aoli or whatever was the only thing with any flavor, but it wasn't good. Initially I gave them one star, but the Chai Spice whoopie pie warrants a second star and possibly a return trip when I need a dessert...

The food is always fresh and the service is good. I am by far not cheap but I always end up looking at my bill thinking "wtf did I order"..Lol. You know the routine. It does lack atmosphere and is kind of sterile.

Designed by noted architect Cesar Pelli, the otherwise blocky tower gains some life from its implementation of slight setbacks at the top along with its use of metal finials on its exteriors. Au Bon Pain is one of a chain of nice bakeries, though no American can pronounce it correctly.

Not the cheapest of cafe fare but quality food. Love the chicken sandwiches and really like the Pumpkin Harvest soup. So seasonal :)

Blargh. I used to work in this building, and this place was the easy place to go for something quick and easy for breakfast. The oatmeal bar, while usually sticky, randomly out of raisins and covered in brown sugar, was my backup when they didn't have the one pastry I DID enjoy (the orange scone) in stock. Stuff that was pre-made or what I could doctor up myself was about the only thing I would ever get from here, because on the few occasions I've gone for lunch, the line is (inexplicably) long, the sandwiches aren't made well (sloppy, missing ingredients, etc.) and on more than one occasion, I've seen the sandwich maker guy reach onto his pockets with his gloves on, fish out some keys, set them absentmindedly onto the food prep counter or toss them to another employee, and then continue making the sandwich. Yuck. I much prefer the ABP just around the corner and south on Wells, by Adams.

A couple of my favorites: egg and bacon a toasted everything and their chicken caesar wrap. Also, they let me pour my own coffee to my exact specifications which was great. It's a bit ont he pricey side but good food.

I order breakfast for my work here every Tuesday and they always do a great job (thanks to Cornelia!). They have an excellent assortment of fattening croissants (i.e., raspberry cheese, apple, chocolate, and almond). Also, their asiago cheese bagels are delicious. My office gets ornery when I order from another place and do not have the cheese ones available!
