Au Bon Pain is a fast-casual bakery and cafe chain headquartered in Boston; they started their chain of cafe shops in India with Bangalore as its base and they have 17 outlets with a huge advocacy of the patrons.
Recently I happened to visit the Indiranagar CMH Road Au Bon Pain outlet with my husband to taste their classy and wholesome menu.The decor of the bakery was cozy and themed; the kind greeting by the staff was novel.
We started off with litchi iced tea which was very refreshing and different and then tasted the lemon fizz,iced mocha and frozen hot chocolate despite the fact of cold weather.Then we tried the salads like Tuna Garden and southwest chicken which were quite competent and a healthy option.
We also tried their signature cold sandwiches like Vegetarian Pesto Club which is made using fresh garden vegetables, Swiss emmental cheese,romaine lettuce,olives and jalapeños with signature spread on whole wheat bread and to me that was a square meal!
My husband is a seafood lover and he loved the smoked salmon wasabi made of smoked Atlantic Salmon, wasabi honey and cucumber on rosemary focaccia.I liked the sun dried tomato & cheese hot & toasty sandwich apart from chicken pesto sandwich which is made from grilled chicken with signature cheese blend, basil & tomatoes on rosemary focaccia.
Au bon Pain even has got all day breakfast like toasted bagels,museli,egg & chutney; anytime treats like baked vadapav, tamarind paneer sandwich,chicken patty sandwich and ofcourse their classic mac & cheese both vegetarian and non vegetarian,fresh soups from the kitchen; fresh beverages like buttermilk,mango lassi and fruit juices.And adding to that they have stupendous bakery products listed on their menu like butter croissant,chilly cheese croissant,spinach & corn puff etc for the vegetarians and pepper chicken puff and chicken tikka puff for the non vegetarians.
Finally my favorite part of the meal - desserts.Cinnamon roll,pineapple Danish,black currant Danish,chocolate chunk muffin,cinnamon raisin muffin,blueberry muffin,walnut brownie and banana walnut cake were few of them.
The pricing of the menu was pretty affordable and was not a hole in our pocket.The service was very prompt and the friendly staff of the cafe made my evening a memorable outing to me and my family.
I would recommend everyone to visit Au Bon Pain for an in-expensive yet enjoyable experience.
