Pret A Manger

Great things going on here. Friendly staff, food is always stocked and always fresh. When you’re looking for a quick breakfast or freshly made sandwich, this Pret is really reliable. The line moves quickly and I’m always able to find a spot to sit.

Inexpensive, healthy, and SO EFFICIENT. Standard Pret fare, so I won’t comment on the food itself, but this location is always well-​stocked during the lunch hour and has a wide variety of choices (especially vegetarian options). I work right across the street so this location is my go-​to when I only have 10 mins to grab lunch. The staff here is friendly and incredibly fast – I’ve been in and out of here in under 3 mins, even when the line is almost to the door! In fact, it usually takes me longer to decide what to get than it does to wait in line and pay. Honestly, don’t know what I’d do without this Pret.
Oh! For Halloween, they asked their customers «Trick or treat?» and if we responded «treat», we got a free Pret brownie!

I visited the store at about 7pm today to grab a bite. I bought the Salmon Tzatziki, and a plain croissant. After awhile, I had the worse stomach pains ever. It hurt badly and I kept needing to run to the bathroom. The fish was not fresh and it was a very terrible experience!

First of all, I really love Pret. It’s at the top of my list for between-​class lunch stops. Their food is always fresh and delicious, and pretty much anything I taste is just great! I love their tuna on baguette, chicken Caesar bacon sandwich, and their morning egg sandwiches.
Second of all, this location is probably my favorite in the city. The staff is so friendly and the place itself is clean and efficiently run during the lunch rush. It’s such an awesome place and I love coming here.

Love this location. I Pretty much go here all the time before work. Coffee is good and food also. The staff is very friendly and efficient.

I come to this location literally every day, sometimes more than once a day. The food is great and super fresh, but the best thing about this place is the employees. They are all super friendly. They are so nice, they seriously make my day every day. Love Pret.

I wish I could eat sandwiches everyday all day but with the way my digestive system is set up… Pret is very good. You can’t go wrong with any of their fresh pre made sandwiches. I like the openness of this space. Friendly staff always. I just tore up a ham and cheese on a baguette. Yum!

This is review about the Thai chicken curry soup and the napkins. The Thai chicken curry soup is TOOOOO spicy. The napkins are not where you expect to be. You have to ask the people to give it to you. I prefer the chicken noodle soup way BETTER than the Thai chicken curry soup. :)

I have been coming here since April.
Pros — the food is good the people that work here are mostly great.
Cons — I just paid 9.01 for half of a sandwich 3.59 and a diet Coke 1.29 How is this nine bucks? These kids cannot do math I cannot afford this. Will not be coming back I cannot afford their mistakes. Sad too because I like the place. They cannot train the new people that is not my problem.

You gotta like Pret. Inexpensive, fresh, great veggie options. Awesome season salads are one of my favorites. The warm and ready to go (pret a manger: b) wraps and the toasties too.
They COULD become perfect if they stopped using plastic altogether and included a paper recycling bin.

HUGE YUMS!
The shrimp cilantro wrap is amazing! It is everything that it promises to be. It is light, refreshing, flavorful with a kick of spice. Can’t go wrong with it for a mid-​day snack. All of their items are pretty spectacular as well. Ranging from soups to sandwiches, to their specialty cup items. Coffees, teas, and house-​made juices.
But man, that wrap just rocks my world. Check it out! BEST compared to all other locations in Manhattan.

This is the best managed Pret I have ever been to. Unlike other locations, the Pret here always has my favorite sandwiches in stock! Also, when the coffee is running low, they immediately replaced the coffee dispenser in a matter if minutes. I typically get the chicken & bacon sandwich (only ~340 calories for the two slices). I adore their light roast coffee. I like to add a lot of milk to my coffee and the light roast paired well with a lot of skim milk. The cookies are good here but Insomnia is cheaper and better.
The breakfast menu is limited. They offer delicious croissants. I think that’s something they are expanding. I recently saw bacon croissant? I don’t really remember :(
The staff members here are friendly and efficient! During the lunch rush, I was out within 5 minutes (this includes my indecisiveness).

Convenient location with pretty fresh and tasty sandwiches. Only issue is that one chicken sandwich at $ 8.15 does not fill me up. Maybe one and a half will, but when I’m looking for a quick lunch I’m not looking for a $ 12 meal. Their drinks look good though so perhaps I’ll give that a try next time

Out of the Prets I’ve been to, this one is pretty good. Quickly get in and out. Never waiting on line for too long. Always served with a smile.
I’ll probably come back to this one if I’m in the area.

I love me some Pret A Manger! But this one wasn’t as nice as others I’ve been to and the staff was less than helpful. I came in early on a weekday morning to grab some sandwiches to go. I also got tempted into purchasing the chicken noodle soup, though I honestly think that their small cup of soup is the most overpriced item on their menu, and even their brownie bites at $ 1.97 are nuts! But really, almost $ 4 for a small cup of soup that only contains ONE measly bite of chicken? Anyway, at least it tasted good. My biggest gripe about this visit was the fact that I wanted to purchase some half size vegetarian sandwiches, but the only half size sandwiches available were ones with meat. I asked one of the staff whether or not there would be any vegetarian ones packaged in half size but she just grunted an uninterested, «No.» at me. Oh well, I guess you’ll lose some of my business then. I will continue to eat at Pret because I love their sandwiches, but I may avoid this one in the future.
Oh, this one also takes NYU Student Cards.

Though it isn’t as spacious as a nearby location, this is my favorite Pret in the area. Even more than other ones, the staff is always really nice and on-​point with advice about certain products and such. The coffee is usually fresh even though they tend to run out of soymilk. It would also help if they had almond milk as an option as well since it doesn’t settle as much as the soy one does. Their soups are also very tasty.
If I had one complaint its that this location is TOO popular, and as a vegetarian they tend to run out of sandwiches I can eat, or at the least would prefer to (I don’t usually like the cheese heavy ones). All in all, I’m a Pret fiend!

I like Pret. I’ve been going here since London days and all in all I can’t complain.
They got sandwiches that are pretty good for a quick bite and coffee which is just good.
This one is located in a really good location by Astor place. All is good, no complaints except the coffee is always scalding hot so make sure you let it cool before you take a good sip.
Enjoy

My 4 stars goes to:
1) Shrimp sandwich — shrimps are so easy to overcooked and become rubbery but they nailed it! It was cooked just right, juicy and soft. I like the seasoning or sauce that is in it too. It’s not overpowering but gives a great flavor!
2) Mushroom cream soup (s) — it tasted a healthier version of Campbell’s mushroom soup. You don’t need to add any seasoning (salt). It’s perfectly seasoning! I appreciated of its freshness. The soup is rather heavy, it’s a good idea to share with others.
3) Carrot cake — moist and not so sweet cake is rich and heavenly!
4) Soda — the ingredients are excellent! Mostly sweetened by grape juice or natural way! I like their Ginger Beer.
Least favorites are… chips. They are good but not goos as bad chips.

Pret’s a great place to grab lunch, especially since it’s right around the corner from NYU.
I do my best to come during non-​peak hours so that I can find a place to sit. Pret’s «famous ham and cheese» sandwich is delicious — I especially love whatever dressing that they put into the sandwich.
The store is clean, although sometimes people don’t clean up after themselves so the tables can be dirty.

Good place for me being so close to where I get my haircut. I am impressed with their coffee and some snacks. The place is quite clean and very spacious. I just dont like how you choose a premade sandwich which looks great but there is no way to heat it so you can eat it. How can you premake an egg sandwich and put in in a refrigerated area to not be able to heat it up anywhere in the store. Am I missing something here?
