    I think ABC in Severna Park did a fabo job of a renovation.

    I had the Turkey Club Panini with chicken noodle soup, no compliants and the was great. I had to make some changes, no tomato and no bacon, they didn't give any of the looks like when I change stuff at PB.

    He got the the Turkey Club Panini also and was happy ... anytime he has no comments it's good. His major complaint were chips were bland... he claims gluten free and no trans fat has ruined the future of chips. -_____-

    The price is comparable to PB and or Cosi or any unpscale sandwhich shop.

    I think new layout is much better, the menu is easier to follow and food id better.

    oooppsss almost forgot, he got a Red Velvet Cupcake to go... it was gone before we could get home. I didnt even get a bite. :-(

    To bad the Old Navy is leaving... that would give me more reasons to back to that area.

    First things first. This is not a bakery.  

    I pass this place twice a week on my way to school, but never felt a need to go in. The name led me to believe that this would be a carb-lover's paradise. I went in on a Wednesday evening wanting a bagel with cream cheese. But, ended up getting a bit more than I bargained for (in a good way).

    A great alternative to Panera Bread (not that I don't love Panera). It is very similar in decor and concept.

    I hate to make the comparison, but it might be the most accurate. This place sells fresh baked breads, baked goods, salads, soups, sandwiches, and coffeehouse drinks with a smile.

    But, Panera doesn't sell the best vegetarian sandwich ever! I ordered the Hummus and Edamame sandwich with lettuce, tomato and onion on tomato basil focaccia.It was huge, and came with a pickle and a small bag of plain Utz chips.

    One strange thing: Though they sell coffee, lattes and cappuccinos here, they don't sell iced coffee or iced lattes. So, I ended up getting a blended iced caramel latte-style drink and ended up paying a little more than $11. A little pricey, so I won't be visiting every week, but will definitely stop by when I am in the mood for a treat.

    Greeted very nicely by the young man. I have not been back since way before the renovation, they did a very nice job. Ordered the tuna and half salad.  Tuna is very good salad was nice, a bit heavy on the dressing but good. Decor reminds me of panara. The only thing i would like is calories on either the board or to go menu so i don't have to look on line. Great revisit experience.

    ABC did a terrific job of turning itself around from what I can see - the location appears recently renovated with a new staff and new attitude - the staff is very friendly, and ABC Corporate now owns the property.

    Yes, it is typical food overall, at a reasonable price - Sandwiches, soup, breads, all very tasty.  I found it comparable to Panera in a lot of ways, but the food has its own flavor.

    I will also offer that in contrast with many of the other restaurants in the area, the price is very competitive (less than the others overall for the same quantity of food).  

    The five stars factors in the quality for the price, coupled with the really friendly staff.  It is as five-star as you get for a pastrami on rye in a chain restraurant!

    Really liked the place and will be back a lot.

    Most disgusting place ever. Went here on a sunday trying to find a replacement for Panera Bread I think hell to the no.  Saw oneof the managers supposedly clean a table when I say supposedly is because she actually used her bare hand to clear the bread crumbs and then left.  The table was still dirty and at no moment did she come back to clean it with a rag.  The uniformof every singleemployee was dirty .  All in all disgusting place STAY AWAY!!!

    My first (won't be the last) visit was over the past weekend.  My date and I both wanted something kind of light and selected the mozzarella and prosciutto sandwich and the bread pudding.  The sandwich was light and tasty. The bread pudding was small enough not to kill my diet and yummy enough for me to not care about the calories. Yum!  

    The staff was pleasant and helpful; the dining room was clean and neat.  Semi-fast food, but without the fried stuff. Bonus: if you are eco-aware, this place uses real plates and bowls and real silverware instead of filling the landfills with paper and plastic.

    I'll be back - save me a bread pudding.

    I went to Atlanta bread to do some work on my laptop. I was planning on getting some coffee after I finish my snack. I go up to a teenager who works there and ask if I can get a spoon. He asks if I had bought something there and I said not yet. He refused to give me a plastic spoon. I was very disappointed and decided to leave. The kid has black earings on both ears and had an attitude. I will never come back to this place.

    I actually wanted Panera Bread for lunch.  And somehow, I thought I had seen one in the area.  Apparently, I got confused with the one in Arundel Mills.

    However, I saw Atlanta Bread Company and thought I'd check out this place.

    ABC wasn't as busy as Panera but they offer just about the same thing.  No, not really.  ABC doesn't offer soup in a bread.  And I was so in the mood for that.  Drats!

    Anyways, I settled for the Half and Half special.  I got Chicken Noodles soup (which came with 2 small slices of bread) and a Roast Turkey sandwich with sourdough bread.

    The soup was awesome with fresh noodles!  I just wished there were more chicken in it.  The sandwich was ok.  Nothing grand about it.  In addition, I couldn't taste the sourdough.  In fact, I'm not even sure I was given sourdough bread.

    However, service was quick and friendly.  I'm willing to give this place another chance.

    I'm quite disappointed with this restaurant. Atlanta Bread Co is in line to similar food concept of Panera and Cosi, but Atlanta Bread is in the bottom of my list. The reason is Atlanta lacks originality; it seems most of their food is a carbon copy of Panera that Atlanta could not duplicate. Clearly for those who love Panera, they can distinguish where Panera reigns in the food and service quality, price, facility, and creativity in their food which Atlanta thrives to achieve but struggling. For example, Atlanta Balsamic Bleu salad which I can see the resemblance to Cosi's signature salad but the flavors where not in it because it does not have the specialty salad dressing that Cosi's top secret/chef inspired and you can't find in any supermarket. Whereas, the balsamic which Atlanta uses in their salad is ordinary and can be bought in any supermarkets yet, I pay the same or more money to buy Atlanta's salad. Atlanta, I prefer to visit your city but not your bread place.
