### 2/5 — No avocado

*2023-11-28*

I got a toasted chicken and avocado and there was no avocado…

### 4/5 — Need to be able add payment method

*2023-10-11*

Only glaring issue with this app is the inability to add a payment method unless you’re actively purchasing a product. I work in a hospital with ABP and I do not carry any of my credit cards on me. I am forced to order at the cashier every time and I waste time because I cannot use their mobile app or add a payment method unless I’m actively buying a sandwich. It seems comical, but it is true and that’s how the app works.

### 3/5 — No Apple Pay

*2022-12-09, version 2.0*

The actual store accepts Apple Pay inside at register, but there’s no option to use Apple Pay on the app??? Why???

### 3/5 — Feedback area on the app itself doesn’t work

*2020-07-08, version 1.6*

Why doesn’t the feedback area within the app allow one to type comments? Also why not on U UberEats or some delivery service? I guess you all want the company to fold.

### 2/5 — May 2019 and still not optimized for iPhone X

*2019-05-15, version 1.3*

I use this for the convenience but embarrassed for ABP for why the UI experience is so bad. Lazy development and only use this when I really have to.

### 3/5 — Menu items missing

*2019-02-11, version 1.3*

When you order a bagel and cream cheese, there are only 3 options for cream cheese.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work very well. And no rewards!!

*2019-02-05, version 1.3*

The ordering through the app doesn’t work that well, the stores aren’t totally equipped to handle this yet. And more importantly why is there no way of accruing points for rewards?!!

### 3/5 — Works 50% of the time

*2018-09-11, version 1.3*

On my last order, I had gotten a confirmation email that it went through. When I got to the location, they said they never got the order, even though I was charged. They were stumped after I showed them my email receipt. The staff were nice about it and apologized and gave me what I purchased, but the app was a waste of time.

### 2/5 — Ridiculous font sizes, too small to use

*2018-08-16, version 1.3*

The app seems functional, but I can’t get past the small fonts to see what I’m doing. Hopefully they’ll update the app to use normal font sizes soon.

### 4/5 — App is great

*2018-05-01, version 1.2*

Needs Apple Watch compatibility

### 3/5 — Good additon but needs a little work

*2018-04-19, version 1.1*

The app is somewhat cumbersome and requires more clicks than necessary. Still nice to be order by app and just pickup. The staff on the ground doesn't seem to be able to move as quickly as the app suggests and food is often not ready when promised. But still beats waiting on the inefficient ABP lines.

### 2/5 — Wrong order

*2018-04-04, version 1.1*

Ordered a “favorite” on the app today and received the incorrect order! I checked my ticket and it was placed correctly the team just didn’t pay attention (I think!). Disappointing when you expect something specific.

### 2/5 — Decent when it works, could be much better

*2018-02-09, version 1.1*

Ditto to all of the complaints about too many clicks to reorder a favorite.  Also, every 4th or 5th time I order, the system doesn’t print out the order slip, so I have to wait. 80% if the time it works fine.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2017-12-22, version 1.1*

I couldn’t use my gift card in the app-this should be added as a payment option. Phone number looks off and I have to re-enter it each time. Otherwise it’s a decent app

### 1/5 — A good idea poorly executed.

*2017-12-11, version 1.1*

My food has never been ready at the scheduled time, and most recently, it took an additional 15 minutes to get my salad. ABP's execution is great advertisement for their competitors.

### 3/5 — Overall pretty good

*2017-11-16, version 1.1*

Works well overall.  Does not leave much room for comments.  Does not seem to allow for gift card payments.  Usually order is ready as requested.

### 1/5 — Worse than the service.

*2017-11-13, version 1.1*

The app is very certain there are no stores near me as I stand in one writing this while waiting 20 minute for a bagel.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2024-04-10*

The APP doesn’t work. I get a message “forbidden ” when I try to login with my email.

### 1/5 — Local franchises not found

*2024-01-29*

In the Texas Med Ctr.  The franchise restaurants are not found on App.  Deleting app.

### 1/5 — Lost my birthday cookie & app!

*2024-01-05*

App says it needs to be updated. No update. I just signed up a month ago with the new version. Tried creating a new account twice. Nothing works.

### 1/5 — Avoid the app, order in store

*2023-12-13*

I ordered through the app to pick up in-store, instead of making me a fresh sandwich I was given one that was a day old and pre-made. Whack.

The app itself works fine.

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2022-10-17, version 2.0*

Tried creating account in app…. Error message. Went on website. Created account. Placed order. Tried app again… error message. Checked all my info multiple times. All correct. Error message. Just give up on this app… it does not work.

### 1/5 — Can’t even find my location

*2022-09-13, version 2.0*

There’s one at my university. I’ve never been, and I wasn’t sure how the ordering system worked or what they had to offer, so I downloaded this app to see at a glance and maybe try to order for pickup. It only gives me locations outside of my university, so I guess that means no business from me.

### 1/5 — Stupid app requires WiFi

*2019-01-21, version 1.3*

Whoever coded this doesn’t understand the concept of being on the go. What’s the point of ordering through an app if you need WiFi?

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2018-06-07, version 1.2*

It couldn’t find any stores near me, despite the fact that they’re literally across the street. Apparently there are none in MN at all, so I guess I’ve been eating at a mirage.

### 1/5 — Seems like they can’t get it right

*2018-03-12, version 1.1*

Okay this is the second time I have used the app to order my lunch. And it’s the second time they have gotten my order wrong. If you are going to ask me what kind of dressing I want on my salad then maybe you could actually give the the dressing I requested. I guess I am back to waiting in line, where I can see them making the salad.

### 1/5 — Train your staff before you create an app

*2018-01-17, version 1.1*

Maybe au bob pain should train their staff on how to use their app before they implement it. If the latte wand was broken I should have been called and notified orrrr GIVEN A REFUND. It’s very concerning your staff doesn’t know how to use the app or provide refunds for things that are their fault. There is no reason I should go to the location upon pick time and my order hasn’t been made. I will never use the app again.

### 5/5 — Great food incredible service

*2019-02-02, version 1.3*

As a cancer patient I have had the opportunity to dine at the Au Bon Pain in the James Cameron Center on the Conference level amazing baked goods and very very tasty sandwiches and wraps . The cashier makes me smile every time I check out. Happy to see a friendly smile .

### 5/5 — An Bon Pain App

*2018-03-21, version 1.1*

Great app-use it almost daily

### 5/5 — Fast

*2017-11-03, version 1.1*

This is a great app - you even get to see seasonal favorites! Was able to order my favorite flavored water and a pumpkin pie bon tart to my grilled cheese!

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2017-10-23, version 1.1*

Easy to navigate through and items to your cart, and especially to your food and I love how they always give coupons you can use.

### 5/5 — Health is Wealth

*2017-10-02, version 1.1*

The best and high quality food. We love your items.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2017-09-12, version 1.1*

Makes ordering much easier than staying in line.

### 5/5 — Good app. Gets the job done.

*2017-09-04, version 1.1*

Not the best I've used but gets the job done

### 5/5 — Handy for my commute

*2017-08-31, version 1.1*

I love this app. I can place my order from the train and my awesome location has my order ready and waiting for me to just grab and go. The only thing I'm not necessarily a fan of is having to put in my phone number every single time, but it only takes a second to get through that screen. Honestly I wish some other fast food places had apps like Au Bon Pain's.

### 5/5 — Good

*2017-08-23, version 1.1*

Quick and easy

### 5/5 — Nice app for a great restaurant

*2017-08-11, version 1.1*

The food is really fresh and the app is really easy to use!
