So great – a fast food place that I can trust. I love their sandwiches and wraps but super underrated are their pots – i.e. the banana honey yogurt pot. I felt like pooh bear.
Any of their sandwiches are great, but I like the chicken bacon the best. The bread is sooo tasty and baked fresh! The sweet potato wrap is also impressively good.
I'd probably skip their coffee and pastries, esp in Manhattan – there are just a lot of better options. But if you're in a jam near penn station, their croissants hit the spot.
Pret A Manger is a chain of posh little delis that caters to New York's health conscious. I say health conscious moreso for the quality ingredients used in their food versus it's diet friendliness.
What does that mean? Well basically, a sandwich with gluten free bread filled with organic/ non gmo/ humanely butchered/ fillings can still be a fatty treat. Nonetheless, I imagine better ingredients will still draw in crowds unwilling to join the likes of the fast food fiends.
Anyway, the selection is impressively abundant. They had wraps, yogurt cups, sandwiches, salads plus a large assortment of cold and hot drinks. I took my time in selecting my second breakfast for the day – a bacon egg and cheese on brioche – cute mini sandwich which cost me nearly 5 bucks. I didn't get coffee this time cause I had literally just eaten from a food truck 10 minutes prior.
I sat myself in a corner which was caved in brick walls, took photos of my sandwich and a few selfies. Shut up, you all do it too so don't judge. The sandwich was nicely wrapped and that bread oh so soft. Granted the bacon wasn't thick or hearty, but all the components made for a decent sammy. I gobbled that thing up in 2 minutes, maybe less.
I was pretty impressed by my 10 minutes spent at Pret A Manger and am not surprised this is such a popular spot to grab a bite on the go.
Pret A Manger has really expanded in the last few years. If you are familiar with this chain you know what to expect. Fresh cold sandwiches and salads with juices or organic coffee. They also have a small hot food section with soups and sandwiches and wraps. Items are typically in the $5 to $9 range.
I am putting this review more as a critique of this location. This one is located next door to the Jack's 99 Cents near Penn Station. There is a moderate amount of seating and it is very clean. However, it can get very crowded at lunchtime because of it's location.
This location is consistent with other locations. I appreciate Pret A Manger's dedication to same-day freshness in that they don't serve anything that was put together the day before.
Bumped into this place on a whim , it's nice . Bought a bagel and cream cheese and a coffee was so good . The bagel was so soft ! There are chargers and tables and it's spacious and full of light , how nice !
