If you are looking for something a bit different from the usual chicken or meat meal, Au Bon Pain offers vegetarians something they will love – their delicious Egg and Broccoli Baked Sandwich. This is a meal that is sure to satisfy even meat lovers! This sandwich is a quick and convenient meal providing only 430 calories, 25 g protein and 4 g fiber.

These are just a couple of the delectable items at Au Bon Pain, but their menu is full of options with something for everyone, whether you are on a diet, or just committed to making healthy choices.
