On Tuesday, Nov. 7, the popular fast-casual bakery café invites guests to get into the spirit of the holidays by indulging in these savory seasonal specials:

• The Holiday Gobbler - Thanksgiving favorites come together in one savory sandwich. Sliced whole turkey breast, classic stuffing with onions and celery, cranberry apple chutney and rich turkey gravy on toasted country white bread.
• French Toast Omelet Sandwich - This isn’t any ordinary breakfast sandwich. It is a perfect mix of savory and sweet, featuring an ABP signature omelet (made with parsley, chives, smoked paprika, roasted onions) and turkey sausage stacked on a freshly toasted French toast bagel with maple cream cheese.
• French Toast Bagel - A sweet start to the morning begins with ABP’s holiday bagel studded with cinnamon, maple and brown sugar.

• Butter Pecan Latte - Rich espresso that is blended with natural butter pecan flavors and topped with frothed milk (hot or iced).

Everyone will need to save room for Au Bon Pain’s new holiday sweet treats:

• Shortbread Tree Cookie - This tree-shaped classic shortbread cookie is topped with naturally colored green sugar.
• Gingerbread Cookie - ABP’s spiced gingerbread recipe features rich molasses and butter, hand-decorated with white icing.

• Pecan Meltaways - This traditional holiday treat is made with creamy butter and pecan chunks.
• Mixed Berry Strudel - Anyone can be the office hero and bring in this oversized braided puff pastry that’s filled with blueberry, raspberry and strawberry fruit preserves. There’s plenty of strudel to share … or not!
