Pret A Manger
“As indicated in past reviews, there are limited, casual lunch, dining options around Bryant Park.”
“Quick and fresh, perfect lunch spot for grab and go”
“There's even a relatively large seating area off to the side, and the turnover seemed pretty quick (plus I was lucky enough to nab a seat).”

Mean service, mean girl. boo Enough mean girls at my office. Went here and had some questions.. rough day at the office as I was just told I am losing my job and have never been talked to so rudely at a take-out place. Whoa. Yeah, maybe the girl worker had a bad day, but I can bet that mine was worse!
Because of this.. will stick to my cheery guy location a few blocks down.
Oh how I used to love and rely on this establishment! This store always seemed to be running out of things. I got the half bacon and turkey sandwich and it was nothing like I remembered. The yogurt with bananas and honey was tasty but I remember their sandwiches being good enough to have every day. Perhaps it's the sandwiches or the competition has gotten rougher.
I am very disappointed with the wrap I got here. I had wanted to get the Avocado sandwich on artisan bread, but noticed it was almost 700 calories – no thank you. Instead, I got the Spicy Shrimp and Cilantro Wrap (shrimp, cucumber, red peppers, spinach, cilantro, sweet chili mayo, pret's seasoning, tortilla wrap). I didn't enjoy it at all. The cucumber was giant; it was a large strip that was essentially the entire filling with the rest of the ingredients around it. I'm not a fan of cucumbers anyway so I picked it out and threw it away. After I got through half the wrap I threw out the shrimp too. They weren't very good. Shame on me for ordering seafood at a grab and go store like this. Ugh.
I do like the fact that every night they give their food to charities helping the hungry. That saved it a star.
I might be back to try breakfast or soup at some point. I definitely will not be getting a wrap again.
Nice convenient location right in Midtown East. If you're looking for a nice croissant to eat for breakfast, this is the spot. If you come in early enough, then they're nice and warm/crispy. It's a little small for the price you're paying, but it is damn good. Sure, Starbucks is close by, but their drip coffee is horrible. Pret has some organic coffee, with a good variety to choose from. Just pay your ~$2 and self-serve yourself to a nice cup of joe in the morning.
Not much seating inside, aside from the bar stools facing 42nd street. If you work around here, ditch the Starbucks, and stick to Pret. Nice pastries, sandwiches, soup, and drinks. Even their pre-made energy/chocolate bars are tasty!
I got to say. I am a sucker for Pret A Manger. It's clean, slick look, friendly staff, and premium foods get me every time. However, if you're visiting NYC, I recommend NOT going to a chain and find a local coffee shop and/or bakery. But if you're in a rush and are walking by this location, there's worse options. I recommend their season hot lunch wraps for lunch and their iced hazelnut latte is good too!
This is a chain and while I usually prefer to go to local places when traveling, I needed to grab something quick for breakfast before my meeting in the area and this decided to stop by here. I am glad I did! Good place for breakfast. I had the Greek yogurt with granola and blueberry… Delicious and very filling. Great and fast service so it's perfect when you're on a rush. Staffs were very friendly.
I like Pret A Manger for their natural food freshly made daily, also that the ingredients of the food are listed on the shelves which is helpful to people with food intolerance or dietary restrictions.
I had the Roasted parsnip and pistachios power lunch, which is part of their spring menu: roasted parsnip, mint, pomegranate seeds, pistachios, lemon, Pret's grain mix (white and red quinoa, black and green lentils), parsley, lemon juice. It's delicious with a contrast of texture from the crunchy pistachio and pomegranate seeds, to the chewy parsnips. It's listed as a lunch but I could eat it as a breakfast.
This is one of my favorite Pret a Manger locations. Love the sandwiches and soups.
