On Tuesday, June 13, Au Bon Pain invites its loyal guests and newcomers alike to indulge in these savory summer selections:
Lobster Sandwich – Lobster is back! Succulent lobster is mixed with the ABP signature herb blend and served on a freshly baked buttery croissant. (Available in select cafés for a limited time only.)
Herb Chicken Salad Sandwich – This all-new sandwich features antibiotic-free chicken mixed with the ABP signature herb blend and avocado dressing, topped with cucumbers, shredded carrots, tomatoes and field greens, and served on a toasted semolina baguette.
