The cashier was extremely rude, like she hated her job, I greeted her and she was like Ice coffee? No greeting no brand management, I will never under stand why people get in customer service positions and are rude? Then I’m standing there for a couple seconds, like I’m a mind reader to tell me I’m ready pay? Just plain rude!! I don’t expect a full on Broadway production, but if you work in a customer service environment, you should greet people for coming into the companies establishment! The experience was listless!! I don’t write reviews, but people need to do better and you hate your job find something that’s suites your personality!!!!

The queuing system drives me insane- the layout is the worst - and every time I pay for a coffee the machine asks if I want to pay for it all the same- do they really think I’ll pay for half my coffee by cash and the other half on two different credit cards?

Always satisfied with the food, convenience, and service at this location. There are often times I interact with Ms. Carlota Innis. She is pleasant, attentive, and always there to provide assistance with a smile on her face. She is a joy to speak with and makes every trip worthwhile.

The food is good from this place. However, the place is a bit messy. The spoons I got had soup stain on them so they are just unusable. The staffs were rude. The lady who ring my soup was throwing my soup around to check for the size of the cup. It was just baffling that a person would throw around hot soup in a container like she did. Maybe thats why the spoons are dirty there.

The coffee is good. The danishes are delicious. There cookies are great for an afternoon snack. They have soups, salads and sandwiches made to order. You can use your app or one of the machines in the shop to order your food. Seating available

Really impressed with this place, food is amazing and I dont have to wait that long to get it, I actually stopped going to Starbucks around the corner because they take too long compared to this place and its also cheaper here! Definitely recommend going here if youre in a rush

Nothing extraordinary but a great place to grab breakfast, lunch and snacks. Pastry, soup and oven hot sandwiches are great and my favorites. However, the salads are so so. Most of the staff are nice and helpful.

Review №25

Great coffee. Not the best in the morning though bring extra time and patience. Often things are not ready even after 8am such as oatmeal and ordering a sandwich or speciality coffee is another challenge. If you can get all you desire, you will be happy with the food more often than not.

Some review this one under par but neglect to realize this chain is running in BROOKLYN. Despite the recent renovation, for the most part the customer service critiques remain accurate. The menu items here are just as good as the other Manhattan locations to eat, drink and enjoy ones first world problems.

They nickle and dime you with their sandwich toppings + they give you an attitude if you say something and they do not follow their schedule went there @ 7:50am and was told we are not open yet... really?

Decent selection, lots of pastries. I tried their turtle latte and I did not like it. there was so much syrup and sugar. I would not recommend it.

Review №32

Unprofessional and rude. The place is unsanitary, the floor plan is a hazard for spills of hot coffee on others, the staff are not helpful, the register workers seem to be exceptionally rude. And there is never anything you need, butter, cream cheese etc...

Review №34

Racially derogatory black female employees were talking about their personal lives... something about what that white man did and loud enough for the customers to hear while they were trying to pay these people money. Now, Im not black or white - but regardless it was offensive to hear people speaking that way in a place where people are just trying to get some food and drink. The strawberry lemonade tasted like kool-aid. For a place offering healthy choices, drinking a 64oz cup of sugar water with lemons is Not healthy.

Ordered Chicken cobb salad. Among other items this salad was supposed to have egg in it. While watching the preparation, I noticed no egg was added. When I asked the preparer about the egg he said it was in the salad. Thinking I may have missed him putting in the egg I did not challenge. After getting to the table, the salad did indeed not have egg. My colleague ordered a chicken salad sandwich, they did not have all the ingredients. As I was eating one of the workers emptied the garbage and did not place and empty bag. . Then turned around the garbage container so it could not be used. I assumed there was another container. Upon leaving and looking to dispose of garbage, not other container. Left garbage on counter. Some staff pleasant others rude. Will not return. Cannot imagine this place surviving. Chipotle next door is great.

I am giving this Au Bon Palin 5 Stars SPECIFICALLY because they have sweet cheese buns.There aren’t many other Au Bon Pain around and many of them DON’T HAVE SWEET CHEESE BUNS.These things taste better that cocaine frosted opioids.

The food is great. There was one handome worker named michael whom customized an amazing Newport turkey sandwich, which I highly recommend. He was attentive quick paced and very friendly, which is more than I can say about the rest of their staff. They need more workers like him.

I come to this location because its only a block away from my job. I like their coffee and bagels, but i abhor the service. The employees at the counter are very slow, the lines are always long as well as the wait to get your food and pay. The employees look unhappy therefore making it bad for the customers. They are not friendly at all, during the morning or afternoon.

Today was it. I tried to have the patience with this location there is NEVER any milk and/or creamers out (let’s not forget this is a busy area so coffee is a must) and the people who work here are so unprofessional. For crying out loud a good morning wouldn’t do any harm! I’m so upset but instead of me requesting a refund I simply paid for my items but I will NEVER spend my money here again!

Victoria and Shanty i believe her name was, they were very professional but the young lady sarah was Very Rude and Unprofessional . Sarah made my sandwich wrong and got very upset and frowned her face up when i told her it was wrong . Victoria quickly came over apologized for her behavior and askec shanty to please fix and quick while she attended to the others waiting on their orders . Great team work and attitudes from the other 2 young ladies and my sandwich was great by the way
