yum! Kinda pricy but their soup and sandwiches are so good and fresh. I love french food! This location was great because me and my brother got this sandwich with salami not that good and the guy let me switch it for a different one and didn't even charge me the difference so nice! Place is clean and a nice bistro.
Quick tip
Pret a manger pronounced men-gee means to go in french
This place literally saved my life every day at work. I'm that type of person that has to eat a little bit in the morning or else my stomach would growl or just start cramping 🙁 Luckily, my office had a Pret literally right downstairs. I've never had a bad experience here either! Great, fresh food that's made daily and very kind employees. Every morning I was greeted with a smile and they worked very efficiently. Whether I was ordering a latte, a tea, or buying a sandwich, I would be in and out in less than a minute (given that there is no line). I really recommend any of their sandwiches. I forgot which ones I've tried but they're all good! Their morning hot sandwiches are also really great, and will make your co-workers jealous 😉 As for coffee, I really like their lattes and their new pommegranate green tea is amazing on those hot days.
Though slightly pricey, I absolutely love Pret and am a regular lunchtime patron. Their claim to fame is their fresh everyday food and I've never been disappointed. Everything from their famous ham and cheese (sooo good) to the tuna salad sandwich, hot wraps and yogurt pots is delicious. And each item is clearly marked with calories so you can make a smart decision. Speaking of calories, their brownie bar is one of the best things I've ever tasted… they must put some serious crack in that little bite of heaven.
My friend had a work break so we dropped in to make the most of our short time together.
I enjoyed their ham and cheese sandwich– apart from that the place is somewhat small and not the best place to go for a group lunch, nor is it cheap. However, it does the job and hits the spot in all other regards. Service was good, food selection was fresh and can definitely satisfy any appetite that walks in.
This place is across the street from a client's office, so in a pinch and on the few occasions when the admin didn't order in awesome deli, I have grabbed a few sandwiches from here. All were unremarkable and overpriced. And the calorie count they provide on the signs along with the list of ingredients is just frightening. On the other hand, that usually gets me to do an extra 30 minutes on the elliptical that night.
My opinion is that Pret a Manger is a decent safety if you are passing out hungry or it's near your office and the weather sucks. Otherwise, find an alternative.

Came here the other day and asked for the vegan mexican lentil soup. it was very thick. It must have been the same pot from the morning and had soaked up all the liquid. I was not happy with it. The service was nice though.
A favorite lunch place when you need real food and can't bring yourself to eat cupcakes at Crumbs anymore. Great soups, salad and sandwiches. Try the ginger beer drink too. The sitting area gets packed ~12:15/12:30pm. Fast, efficient, friendly service and super-convenient locations all over Manhattan, esp. Midtown. Recommended.
This place is super fresh. And clean. And nice.
I don't know where they find their staff, but man are they nice. Like, really nice. Hi. Welcome. How are you. How was your day. Anything else I can get you. If I were Duane Reade I would try to steal some of this staff away.
Oh yeah – and the food is delicious and fresh. Oh I said that already. Really inventive and tasty sandwiches, perfectly chilled on fresh bread. And they use arugula where appropriate, which is a big deal in my book.
Thanks for opening near my office.
My only request is that they bring back the comfy leather chairs. I have no idea why they took them away but its a big loss.
