Au Bon Pain

Come here almost everyday for lunch today I brought my own just needed a fork and was told I couldn’t have one because I wasn’t a paying customer today lol won’t ever eat here again !

I have been a long time customer of AuBonPain for the past 9 1/2 years, and. I love it! Brenda the cashier is the absolute BEST! She is always very friendly, professional and attentive by making sure I have everything I need to complete my lunch! My only request is that they bring back the regular HOT SAUCE and also the PEA SOUP!

My Wife was having Surgery at Memorial Hermann Surgery Center in Houston Wednesday, I spent time with her until she was prepared then I went for Lunch. There is a place in the same Building called Au Bon Pain (nice name for being in a Hospital Building) that I ate at before some years back and it was pretty good. I know they get busy at Lunch Time and I 'm hoping they are not busy now. Walked in and they were not busy Nice. They changed it around some since I was here last. Lots of Employees around to assist you. The Menu is displayed on the wall about where they prepare the food and a few Employees in front of the counter to take your order. The rest of what you choose is 'self serve ', then you pay at the Cashiers with tables to choose from behind them. I looked over the Menu and decided on the Black Bean Burger on Ciabatta Bread with NY Cheddar, Fresh Avocado, Pickled Red Onions, Tomatoes Chipotle Mayo. I also picked up a small container of Mac N Cheese with NY Cheddar Parmesan and a Medium Hazelnut Coffee with Light Cream. Soon my 'Black Bean Burger ' was ready and given to me all wrapped up tight. Paid for my order and found a table. That Black Bean Burger looks Very Good and it was. Every Bite of this Freshly Made Tastylicious 'Burger Sandwich ' was Delicious. The Mac N Cheese was Very Creamy with Perfectly Prepared Noodles and a pretty good amount in that small container. The Hazelnut Coffee was also Very Tasty Coffee, which I really needed. Soon my Lunch was all gone and I decided I needed more So I went back to the Menu and looked it over once again and saw they have a picture of a Turkey Bacon Melt that really looks good with Roast Turkey, Hardwood Smoked BACON and Melted NY Cheddar, with Arugula their Signature Herb Aioli on Country White Bread. I placed my order with one of the Employees at the counter and waited but not long. Soon my Sandwich was handed to me all wrapped up. Returned to my table after I paid for it and unwrapped this Very Warm Sandwich. This also looks Delicious with Turkey slices stacked up pretty high. Each Bite I took melted in my mouth this is One Delicious Turkey Melt with lots of Tastylicious Flavor. As I was eating this Beautiful Sandwich, Au Bon Pain was filling up with lots of Customers placing orders well over 20 Customers. Au Bon Pain is Packed. Check 'em out On Line and on Facebook Au Bon Pain Houston. They have lots of Employees here and they All are Awesome, providing the Best Customer Service you will ever receive and the Food is also Awesome. Ya Gonna Luv It All.

Although what I did get of the burger tasted good, it was not made as excellent as it is described in the menu. I had no time to go back after sitting down and opening my burger to eat so I just ate it as it was made. I ordered the Chipotle Black Bean Burger. For starters it was not put on a ciabatta instead was just put on toasted white bread. Second, I asked for light chipotle mayo and it had zero. Last, the onions were raw and not pickled. Like I said, good taste, but would have been great to get it made exactly as stated in the menu or at least told they are out of a certain item to make it as such. Will still give it another try.

Good experience and seemed to be faster even with the rush because of the order taking style.
