Pret A Manger

My daughter had a wrap and I had a baguette with tuna. Both were packed in pastic. Tasted OK. Service was friendly and considerate, explaining to us how the coffee corner worked.

I don’t know why I keep giving this location my hard earned money. With their fake smiles and not so veiled attitudes. At around 2pm today I went in for a snack. I purchased a chocolate chip cookie ($ 1.95) and was given a burnt cookie. I asked if there were any other not so burnt cookies or was any freshly baked cookies coming out soon. The male Asian cashier who got the cookie for me originally asked me in a sarcastic tone «shouldn’t the cookie look dark?» The female AA cashier went and got a fresh cookie when she realized I wasn’t leaving without a less burnt cookie. With an almost aggressive demeanor she removed the pan of fresh cookies from the oven, dropped it on the back countertop, took my cookie bag, slide out my burnt cookie and used a — WAIT FOR IT — coffee cup sleeve to pick up the hot baked cookie and placed it in my cookie bag!!! Then placed it on the counter. She didn’t even hand it to me. I won’t be back!

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.

My go to spot for lunch. They have lots of options such as full/​half sandwiches, healthy snacks (love their granola yogurt, quinoa with hard boiled egg & spinach leaves), soups (Moroccan lentil is hearty and delicious), salads (tuna and avocado), The food is always consistently SO fresh & delicious. The staff is always friendly & happy. They always have new food options too (lobster salads and sandwiches when they are in season).

Ich war 2 Wochen in New York und Stammgast in seehr seehr vielen Filialen von Pret A Manger. Eure Sanwiches und Teas sind köstlich und großartig und ich war… BIN ein großer Fan von euch.
Es ist zu schade, dass es in Deutschland/​Hamburg noch keine Läden von euch gibt. Ich warte geduldig weiter :-)

Healthy, affordable, excellent service.
Latte is smooth, Beet Beautiful juice (apple, beet root, carrot, and ginger) is refreshing.
You’ll want to return for a quick bite on the go.

It’s a Pret a Manger. «Deli» style «fast» food at gourmet quality and café prices. It’s reliable, consistent and this one is always pleasantly empty with a nice brief line that goes fast. As all their staff is, the people here are super friendly and always kind with a smile and a «Hello Love! Will that be all you’re having?» greeting. Nothing special but fast and consistent.

Luckily this location is closest to my office, as it is one of the cleanest and friendliest locations! Nearly every person at this location is cheery and helpful.
They get busy from 12 – 230 but the lines move fast and they keep the shelves stocked; although they occasionally run out of my fav (buffalo chicken wrap) around 2−3pm. They have a nice arrangement of seating at this location from high top tables with stools, to booths, to low bar seating by the window. The booths are usually occupied but when you get the chance to snag one do it! It is really cozy here especially during the colder months.

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.

This is my favorite location. The service is amazing and the food is wonderful. New menu hits it out of the park. Great vegan, vegetarian and low calorie selections too. Everything is freshly made and no detail goes overlooked. Need to cram something in your face fast the spicy shrimp wrap is delicious. Want something «sinful» the hot falafel sandwich hits the spot. Want to forget your eating hunched over your desk in your office, the Niçoise salad is restaurant quality. This must be a great place to work too. Every person who wears the Pret name tag in this local is happy really happy, I always leave feeling way better than when I walked in. Super heroes on 3^rd ave!
One call out the soups tend to be on the salty side. They are low in fat and we all know fat equals flavor so they overcompensate with the salt. Just a watch out if your trying to cut back on salt.

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.

This Pret location is conveniently located in a corporate area. So if I’m in a rush for lunch, I can go in and grab one of their ready boxed sandwiches. The sandwich making materials could be purchased at your local supermarket, and you yourself could make a sandwich that is substantially similar. You could view the sandwich as pricey since it’s cheaper to make it yourself, or you could tell yourself that you’re paying for the convenience. (I waver between the two.)
I do like the fact they use Mighty Leaf tea though. The price for a small cup of tea is about the same as that at Starbucks and other local delis. However, the brand of tea Pret is using is of a much higher quality.

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.

I LOVE Pret a Manger, let me say that first. The food and drinks are always fresh and delicious, and the staff at all locations is uncommonly friendly. I’m reviewing this Pret as compared to the other Prets I’ve been to.
I usually go to this Pret in the morning on my way to work. Note that I am rushing because I am always late. But more than that, when I go somewhere for a coffee and a bagel (their Energy bagels are delish, and a warm, just-​baked one is a real treat!!), I don’t expect to spend multiple minutes waiting around, unless there is a line.
First of all, they only have one person at the register at around 10 AM, and the restaurant is not quite empty at that time, what with all the diplomats and Midwestern and European families milling about. Usually, that one person on the register is chit-​chatting with the manager or whoever else (who does not open up a register and help, even if there is a line), and usually, that one person also has to make the coffee drinks, serve tea, etc., which makes things take even longer. I would guess, however, that the fact that there is only one person at the register in the morning is not his/​her fault. Poor management would be to blame for that. The idle chit-​chat, even when it is busy, would be a strike against management as well as the register «team».
And here I’d like to emphasize once more how remarkably nice Pret folks are. It hurts a little to have to write a less than glowing review…
Second, out of the 5 coffee urns available for self-​serve, most every morning, two will be empty. On a really bad day, the other two urns are almost out. Or what’s left is full of grounds. The fifth urn is decaf, which really doesn’t count. Most Pret locations will have pitchers of skim milk, whole milk, half/​half and sometimes soy milk on both sides of the urns. This Pret has them only on one side, meaning that most mornings I have to wait for other folks to fix their coffee (and they are not as quick as I am, just saying). I sometimes have to ask for skim milk, and they bring it out in a flash.
My advice to the morning staff at this Pret: tighten up your ish, folks. Other Pret locations run like well-​oiled machines. There’s no reason you shouldn’t.

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.

I love their oatmeal selection and salad selection.
Try their raisin & cinnamon if your like just a little bit of sweetness in your oatmeal.
I like their balsamic dressing because it’s not too strong but not very light — just right.
In the summer time they have another oatmeal that has shreds of coconut, I can’t wait!

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.

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 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.

midtown east is a crazy busy area. this pret is a great spot for lunch.
i got the mild obsession with pret when i was visiting england. and i was really happy that the brits brought pret to the us. pret in england is considered fairly cheap, but it doesn’t seem to be true in the states probably because of the currency conversion. a regular-​sized sandwich is $ 6. (two pieces of square bread and some stuff in between.)
but it’s so good though… somehow. the selection is not as great as the british pret. but good enough to make me happy.
plus, free wifi! even though there’s no power outlet. but free wifi in new york is not exactly easy to find. (and yes i am using their wifi to write this review)

«The city» brought me to the east side of Manhattan today. I was on the E train and got off at Lexington&53^rd.
I was about to go into Crumbs for kawfee and I see this place Pret. What a nice looking store!
I go inside and they have polished stainless steel, brown tiles, very masculine looking. (And may your first child be a masculine child)
The sandwiches are pre-​made (I’m not a fan of that) and all the drinks are lined up and dispensed looking like little solders.
I get a cup of organic coffee and a harvest nut cookie that the cookie alone sold for $ 1.75 (hey, I’m a sucker for baked goods)
Nice looking place and the coffee was good. I’m a fan!
