Pret A Manger

Friendly +NYC– doesn’t normally go together but this place have the most amazing staff. They always greet you with a smile, make you feel special and sometimes hook you up. The food is always fresh, so you might not have the same options in the evening because they sell out pretty quickly. The place is pretty much always clean, and it’s my go to place for lunch.
Line goes pretty quickly as the staff is very efficient. I love the lunch all bold
The manager must be doing something right this place rocks

Can Pret A Manager please come to Long Island?! The people at this location are so friendly, nice and welcoming. I walked in lost and was guided by one of their wonderful staff members (a young woman with brown hair). I was a bit overwhelmed when I walked in because I didn’t know where to get what — despite the fact that it’s pretty straightforward (I was just personally flustered and prepping for an interview). She politely guided me to where I could get a black iced coffee and she found a seat for me to sit and relax with my coffee. She also told me to feel free to look around and get familiar with what they offer and showed me where the bathroom was in case I needed it – very sweet person. The coffee was delicious, woke me up, and wasn’t harsh on digestion (as Starbucks tends to be — sorry). I would wholeheartedly recommend Pret A Manager as a whole, but this location is now special to me.

OMG! I’ve been here a couple times (forgot to check in) and keep getting the same thing. Egg salad on multigrain bread with arugula. It is the best. I love love love it!!! The service is super fast too so if you see a crowd don’t worry the lines move fast.

Good spot for lunch. Selection is good and fresh. I have tried the sandwiches and salads. Some of the items are a little pricey. Great place to eat or take back to the office for lunch with lots of healthy choices.

My friends and I came in to this location to rest. Got a coffee and was met with the nicest and most enthusiastic employee. It made my first experience with this chain absolutely awesome. Also, lots of tables were available, and the music was perfect.

Hate their new salad bowls (narrow at bottom so they tip when you try to cut things in there), but other than that the place is great. Must be a good manager because the staff are always friendly and willing to help. The best is the croissant and the mac and cheese with bacon. soups are great too — though expensive.

this is the best place to come and grab a very quick lunch or breakfast. I’m always running. Running to work. Running home to my wife and eight kids, running to pick up the dog from the dog walker (we really shouldn’t have to pick up little nibbles but whatever my wife doesn’t listen to me). So I really don’t have the time to just sit down and eat a nice and civilized meal like the rest of my banker buddies. But this place is awesome. Such good food. They have a hot and cold section so you can pick a sandwich one day and a hot mac and cheese the next. Yippee.

Nice fresh food in a lovely atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. They donate leftover food to soup kitchens. Hope they keep it up.

I eat lunch here almost every day. The prices are decent, especially for Midtown. The food is good, it’s made fresh, and the selections change seasonally to include new and interesting items. The staff in particular is great. One time I was given a free cookie because I had to wait an extra ten seconds for service. Another time they gave me a free croissant because they were out of bread rolls when I asked for one. They’re very friendly here and they take really good care of you. It’s why I keep coming back.

Good place.
I tried a salted caramel latte but not that good.
Oh Unilocal.Do i have to talk too much to accept the review?

I shall only review one Pret ever. While there are differences across the chain, given that Pret is primarily a take-​out place with a fairly standard menu, the experience is fairly similar across the large and growing family of Pret outlets in the city.
The Pret salads are healthy but one has to be short of restaurant options or time to get one. The falafel mezze salad is a good option. So also their falafel wrap. The Moroccan lentil soup is always available, but as they have raised the contribution of carrots, turnips and onions in what appears to be their modified recipe, I tend to avoid this soup. The tomato and feta soup is a great addition to the menu, but is not available on all days or in every location.
Pret’s assortment has expanded over the years to include fresh fruit, yogurt pots, pastry and juices. Their registers are run efficiently, often with coordination and intervention from their store managers. Pret will continue to keep their market share of lunch dollars. But they will need to keep up with the competition in coming up with new options to keep the menu interesting and the customers coming back.

My friend took me here.
We each got a soup and split a sandwich but then had to go back and buy more because it was so good.
I like the idea that they throw away everything in the end of the day.
It’s too bad there is to places like this in SF.

5 stars just for the customer service. Smiles, going out of their way to assist, Keeping lines moving. Have only had coffee, can’t speak for their food. Bit too loud, however.

not sure why this location scoops the soup ahead of time and puts it on a shelf for people to grab. Kinda weird in my book since I would want my soup hot. This location seems to emphasize a lot of self service, eg, pouring your own coffee. Other than, this place offers the typical pret fare.

I don’t know how I came across this place, but I needed coffee before my meeting.
So I took a peek and saw they had breakfast goodies: cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, pre-​smeared bagels, salads and all these organic/​healthy options! I was pleased to see this! OH, for the juicers, they got some of that, too: beets, greens and some OJ for all.
I got the egg & mushroom mini sandwich, I think it’s called broche? I forgot, but it was only 3.99 with my large coffee, I spent about 7-​something without tax, yay!
The only thing about the egg and mushroom broche — it’s bland. No pepper, no salt. Coffee was okay, I was hoping it was tasty even if it’s black. But they offer creamer, organic soy milk and raw sugar at the «help yourself» section I like to call it.
The dining experience was chill, too. Spacious area and lots of comfortable seating. Winner Winner.
OH, the staff are super helpful and hella quick with service (:

Came by for a snack the other day after lunch and was pleasantly surprised.
Ordered a latte and it came out with foam, per my request.
Ordered a chocolate croissant and it was fresh and tasty. Not too sweet either!

I hate breakfast food. I don’t know why. I just never liked it.
Next to my new office, Pret is one of those great places that offers «lunch food» starting early morning and all the way through the night.
One of my favorites is the club sandwich. It is basically a sandwich version of a cobb salad. As of recently, I also started getting into their sodas. Who would have thought that «yoga bunny detox» would be the one?
Overall, just like all the other Pret’s it’s always fresh and on the go. The service is fast and it is not ridiculously crowded for the area.

Ich liebe Pret A Manger. Egal was ich dort esse, es schmeckt mir. Die Preise sind fair, das Personal ist nett und die Sauberkeit ist auch okay. Die Speisen sind natürlich auch zum Mitnehmen ideal. Für guten den Snack zwischendurch ist Pret A Manger sehr zu empfehlen.

This location is right across the street from my office. This place is never crowded, which is great for us to run in, pick something and run back to the office. I was never really a Pret fan mainly because everything is pre-​packaged and you can’t customize anything but it serves it’s purpose of «get in, get out». I do however love soups and would come back for that!

I’ve never thought of myself as a boring person.
Until one day… I looked at my debit card… and realized I’ve spend 8.15 every single weekday at Pret-​a-​Manger for almost a year, LOL!
The staff here seem to really love their jobs and are always very friendly and have nice things to say about my hair.
I love the cobb salad with ranch. As well as the chicken salad with avocado, and the market salad. I used to think I needed two dressing packets, but you just have to open up that salad and carefully divvy it all up and you can get away with one – there’s a lot of salad crammed into those little boxes, which is a good thing!
Don’t forget to ask for a delicious pretzal role to ensure your salad’s enough to get you through the rest of the work day. And make sure they don’t forget napkins (they don’t have them sitting out with the plastic ware)
Highly recommend the chocolate chunk cookie for dessert;)
The location on Hudson street near canal used to have the most delicious apple/​squash soup, and I have not seen it there or at any Pret in a quite a while. Wish they would bring it back!
The tomato basil soup is fine, not too substantial – if your eyes are bigger than your stomach and you order it along with your salad and can’t finish, it makes a great pasta sauce for later, fyi.

This is the newest location to open and I’m a big fan of vegetarian soups in nyc, i was hoping for more options than lentil soup and a miso soup.
The toastie was a good sandwich at 4pm when I hadn’t had breakfast or lunch, but the chai latte was too spicy and the soup wasn’t hot (but it was 4pm).
Not so much a fan and they are just opening another one in my office building in Chicago too. hmm.
