Pret A Manger

Walked into Pret thinking this would be the perfect spot for a snackie. Lots of veggie sandwiches & soups from which to choose – yay! ( esp as the Pret in Chicago was totally not veggie-friendly )
Mr & I split the Tomato & Brie sandwich – tomatoes tasted kinda frozen & there was minimal brie but the bread was a nice soft French baguette & overall, while we've had better, it was a passable sandwich
The egg salad looked tempting as well but we were still pretty full from breakfast & really only wanted a lite snack + somewhere to rest for a few min before our Play – to avoid standing outside the theater too long
Free WiFi for customers – get a code on your receipt!
Free Restroom – get the code on your receipt…….unfortunately their restrooms were all kinds of NASTY
Dirty to the point I was a bit afraid to utilize the facilities but just kept telling myself not to think about it
Even though the doors had a keycode, there was such a huge line that people were just holding the doors open for everyone else…..but nice in theory that they were for customers only……just don't touch ANYTHING
So as an escape from the cold & a place to check some emails while nibbling on a sandwich, this place is A-OK
I love these little places to pick up a green drink or a salad for lunch, they are amazing for that. I wouldn't however come here to dine in for lunch. Small space, Lots of tourists and a lot of pre packaged goods.
You can order things made for you but it can get crowded and takes a little bit of time.
The location is convenient to Rockefeller center and all of the larger companies in the area. You will find plenty of suits mixed with the tourists waiting on line.
There is a small outdoor seating area diagonally across the street if you are looking to sit outside.
We had a green juice, hard boiled egg with spinach , and a fruit cup. It came to be about 13 dollars, the cold pressed drinks are expensive .
I was extremely relieved to find a washroom. I was glad for the lack of a line and plenty of cashiers. After I purchased spicy Morrocan lentil soup, the cashier gave me the code for the washroom. Ample tables and chairs for guests. Wish there were more options for smaller portion sandwiches or healthy snacks.
I rarely review big chains but after grabbing lunch at this Pret nearly every work day for the past year (sorry, wallet) I feel like a review is in order.
Thank you so, so much for existing. Pret is a damn blessing. It's right across the street from my office and such a tasty lunch option. I know technically Pret a Manger is considered *fast food,* and while the checkout line certainly is quick, Pret is too fresh and well-made for such a category.
Let's put it this way: the spicy shrimp and cilantro wrap has sustained me every day for the past however-many-9-to-5-work-days and I'm not sorry at all.
If this Pret closed I think I'd cry.
Pret has always been my go to place in the city. I love their freshness and quality. This franchise stands by customer loyalty and at the end of the day they give back to the less fortunate. You have to respect that. The food is tasty and their tomato soup is to die for. It does tend to get pricey when you add soup with the meal and a drink but they throw in fresh bread for free. The bread reminds me of how my aunt made it for me after coming home from school. Oh the memories. Try out Pret. Definitely a unique experience
Decent spot if you have NO TIME to pick up food. Everything is ready-made and prepared for take-out and you just have to pick it up and pay. Decent selection of sandwiches, salads, wraps, and chips.
Portions seem pretty tiny for the price though. The wraps are long and thin – picture a slightly larger version of a taquito. They list a whole bunch off ingredients but they seem to have lots of veggies/filler and not that much meat.
Southwest Breakfast wrap – MAYBE had 2 eggs, hard to tell since the entire thing was beans. Did not see or taste ANY bacon as advertised. I'd pass on this. $5 after tax
Hoisin Duck wrap – Small amount of duck, lots of spinach and cucumbers. I dont think i saw any hoisin sauce or mayo as advertised. Good but nothing special $8 after tax
If you aren't pressed for time, go to any of the deli's nearby and get a real sized wrap for the same prices.
Oh, Pret. What can I say about you?!? I come to pret pretty often because they have really good food. The only issue I take is that their food is really pricey. Some of my favorite items include the tomato feta soup and the falafel and red pepper with Swiss cheese wrap. Being one of the few places to eat outside my office, I guess Pret will continue to be a staple for me…if I can continue to afford it.
Awesome avocado and pine nut wrap! Really nice staff!
