If the shop were bigger, I'd give them a full 5-star review. But the space is SOOOO small that they simply can't comfortably accommodate all the business they deservedly get.
But they are a SOLID 4-star option for lunch in the area, if you're not counting your pennies (you can grab a small soup or sweet nosh for under $5….but add a salad or sammy, and you're definitely over a $10 lunch limit). Keep in mind, the food is worth every cent they charge: fresh, flavorful, colorful, well-seasoned, and even inventive at times. The staff are some of the most professional anywhere in the city. Always smiling, welcoming, quick and efficient. They have chefs on location to continue pumping out fresh refills of the always disappearing salads and sandwiches.
The shrimp options are my favorite. The Moroccan Lentil soup is SOOO amazing!! I'd say the baguette sammies are the better way to go….but the falafel wrap is good…the regular sammies on bread are great…….I can't choose just one! But the current Holiday Sandwich with Turkey and the works???? SOOOOOOOO phenomenal! They also now have mac & cheese soup! WHAT?!!
I'm torn about whether I like the new option of pre-contained soups, instead of them pouring it as you order. But it expedites the check out process. So more pros than con, by a long shot!
Definitely a great option for healthier (or simply fresh, depending on what you buy
lunch in the area.
ps – Entrance is actually around the corner on 55th st. They share the larger building with the 1350 6th Ave address.
I'm a quick person and I like how the staff are quick with their services even when it's packed. That's why I keep coming back because I'm usually out of there in less than 3 minutes. My favorites are their signature energy bagel, almond croissant, five-grain oatmeal, and cappuccino. So if you're looking for a quick- to -go for breakfast/lunch this place is definitely it.
This location is nearby so I go there a lot. I tend to like the chain in general. The food is fresh and they mix up the menu items once in a while so I do not get bored.
There is a new soup I want to try – Spanish Meatball. Sounds yummy.
For gluten free options, go for the salads.
I a big fan of the yogurts in the morning. The cup of fruit always looks good, but I think it is overpriced.
Also – the multigrain muffin with flex seeds is a nice "pick me up" for the 4pm energy slump.
I like pret-a manger a lot. The sandwiches are always fresh and they have hot soups available in a warming rack. This PAM is a little on the smaller side and there is not a lot of table room but despite this, there is still enough room. I had the egg salad sandwich on a whole wheat toast and a medium Moroccan lentil soup which was delicious. i would recommend and return. They can also be found all over the UK.
there is also free wi-fi and the password is on your receipt.
I'm a huge fan of this place and this brand. I like the made daily motto and the commitment to simple pre made healthy food to go. These shops are ubiquitous in London and there are others like it in Europe but I'd welcome this brand in any US city. When you don't want to risk getting sick in NYC go for Pret.
The staff members at this location were so great. We stopped in after a trip to the MoMa for sandwiches and coffee and each time one of us went back to the counter to order something else we were greeted kind terms of endearment and smiles. A+ staff.
Stopped here for a quick breakfast. The staff here is very friendly. The brioche eggs bacon and cheese sandwich hit the spot. Followed by orange juice which tasted like my homemade cold pressed OJ. The coffee too here is very good. If you like it black or light and sweet. Espresso or cappuccino. They got you covered.
I don't know what I did for lunch before I discovered Pret A Manager. Pret has fresh and tasty sandwiches daily, and offers other treats as well. While not my favorite location, this Pret is three blocks away from my office so I end up here often. The sandwiches are restocked frequently during busy times. One star off because this location is too small and doesn't offer much seating, and the seating that is there is always taken by tourists and business suits. But that just forces you to eat outside in the sunshine (or trek back to your desk in bad weather). Also they are open past 5-6, in case you need to work late and want something healthy for dinner.
