I shall only review one Pret ever. While there are differences across the chain, given that Pret is primarily a take-out place with a fairly standard menu, the experience is fairly similar across the large and growing family of Pret outlets in the city.
The Pret salads are healthy but one has to be short of restaurant options or time to get one. The falafel mezze salad is a good option. So also their falafel wrap. The Moroccan lentil soup is always available, but as they have raised the contribution of carrots, turnips and onions in what appears to be their modified recipe, I tend to avoid this soup. The tomato and feta soup is a great addition to the menu, but is not available on all days or in every location.
Pret's assortment has expanded over the years to include fresh fruit, yogurt pots, pastry and juices. Their registers are run efficiently, often with coordination and intervention from their store managers. Pret will continue to keep their market share of lunch dollars. But they will need to keep up with the competition in coming up with new options to keep the menu interesting and the customers coming back.
Can Pret A Manager please come to Long Island?! The people at this location are so friendly, nice and welcoming. I walked in lost and was guided by one of their wonderful staff members (a young woman with brown hair). I was a bit overwhelmed when I walked in because I didn't know where to get what – despite the fact that it's pretty straightforward (I was just personally flustered and prepping for an interview). She politely guided me to where I could get a black iced coffee and she found a seat for me to sit and relax with my coffee. She also told me to feel free to look around and get familiar with what they offer and showed me where the bathroom was in case I needed it — very sweet person. The coffee was delicious, woke me up, and wasn't harsh on digestion (as Starbucks tends to be – sorry). I would wholeheartedly recommend Pret A Manager as a whole, but this location is now special to me.
This location is right across the street from my office. This place is never crowded, which is great for us to run in, pick something and run back to the office. I was never really a Pret fan mainly because everything is pre-packaged and you can't customize anything but it serves it's purpose of "get in, get out". I do however love soups and would come back for that!
not sure why this location scoops the soup ahead of time and puts it on a shelf for people to grab. Kinda weird in my book since I would want my soup hot. This location seems to emphasize a lot of self service, eg, pouring your own coffee. Other than, this place offers the typical pret fare.
OMG!! I've been here a couple times (forgot to check in) and keep getting the same thing. Egg salad on multigrain bread with arugula. It is the best. I love love love it!!! The service is super fast too so if you see a crowd don't worry the lines move fast.
This is the newest location to open and I'm a big fan of vegetarian soups in nyc, i was hoping for more options than lentil soup and a miso soup.
The toastie was a good sandwich at 4pm when I hadn't had breakfast or lunch, but the chai latte was too spicy and the soup wasn't hot (but it was 4pm).
Not so much a fan and they are just opening another one in my office building in Chicago too.. hmm..
Came by for a snack the other day after lunch and was pleasantly surprised.
Ordered a latte and it came out with foam, per my request.
Ordered a chocolate croissant and it was fresh and tasty. Not too sweet either!
