EAT.

I can’t say that I’m a sandwich person buttttttttttt I am a sweets and tasty soups kinda girl! Yup and EAT has those! They have these crazy tasty stews with quinoa that they do around this time and lord knows I’m just sitting here waiting for them to release it!
Their almond croissants are my fav and the coffee is not bad. I did love their tuna salad at some point in life but then they stopped boiling the potato and it was hard as rock cakes!
Overall not bad

We found the EAT a couple of door down from out hotel. We had the Four Cheese Sourdough Toasties, and I had the Ham Hock and peas salad (see picture below).
The food was really good. The service was too, especially considering how busy these places get. They are all over the place so you can ALWAYS grab a quick bite whenever you want.
We ate there several times on our trip and I would go there again next time I’m in London. I would go to EAT if they made one in Los Angeles.
The two problems I had with EAT were; 1-​It seems that none of the tables had all feet on the floor, so they wobbled a lot or you had to keep a heavy foot on it to stop the motion; and 2-​The places get so busy and there are no instructions anywhere. The hungry Londoners on their lunch breaks are not very tolerant of EAT rookies. But after a visit or two we were up with the pros and enjoyed it.

Hoooo je kiffe toujours autant ! Salades, wraps, sandwichs, soupes, raviolis japonais. Mais aussi thés, latte, petites gourmandises pour les desserts typiquement anglais. Le Must: le wrap falafel/​houmous, parfait. Servis rapidement, prix abordables, un petit endroit ou s’arrêter pendant le shopping :)

Don’t remember exactly which store we were at but they all serve the same thing. Husband and I both bought pot pie. I got the chicken and mushroom, he got the beef one. Can’t say a lot of good came out of us visiting… The crust was flaky and probably the only good thing about it, but otherwise there’s no flavour at all! It’s like they forgot to add salt or something. Would not go back. Didn’t even finish the pies. Now I know why the manager was trying to push the mash on us. Telling us people don’t get full on just the pie they want the side as well… Ya because they throw most of it away!

My husband and I have a new obsession: We’re going to bring an EAT to the states!
If you’re from the US, image an Au Bön Pain, and then make it way, way better. The food is absolutely delish. I loved the hot pots (change daily; my favorite item!), salads, desserts, and fresh fruit. My husband and daughter had great sandwiches – they take sandwiches available in «grab-​and-​go» refrigerated cases and heat them to melty goodness. My latte was good too.
The service was good although a long line at lunch can take some time.
This particular location is right in the middle of a shopping district. The atmosphere is nice and clean, and they have a few tables outside to people watch.
Eat, when you’re ready to open a store in the US, give me a call! You’ll be very, very popular here!

Eat Simple name. One concern: to encourage eating. I love Eat. I miss Eat. I would pay money just to see one Eat built in America. DID I MENTION I LOVE EAT? Their tuna melts give MEANING to my LIFE. Also, to totally fill the stupid American studying abroad stereotype, I left my wallet there. They were so serious about making sure it was me when I went back for it. Their seriousness made me chuckle and I was very grateful they didn’t hand it to the first American girl with brown hair. Sigh. I miss those tuna melts.
Tuna melts.

It was a random Saturday afternoon and I was walking around in central London and getting hungry. So I took the opportunity to see what EAT could offer. The service was a bit slow when I was there, but overall, the shop has a nice atmosphere and I was very happy with my little yoghurt. Not that I would like to go to EAT every day, but it was really okay.

Great eatery which offers a fast lunch/​breakfast/​anytime! menu sandwiches, pies, rolls, noodles, soups and muffins/​cakes. Hard to describe but the offerings are enjoyable and good value for London. Very popular yet the queues move efficiently and service is professional and prompt.

I love Eat. Really, I love it. I especially love the name, because it’s the name of one of my favourite things to do. And the soups! The soups. You can check online each week to see that soups they have on that week, and so far all of the ones I’ve had are great. Now I’m talking about the fresh soups you order from the counter, not the ones in the case that they put the broth in. I was unimpressed with those. But the red pepper and goat’s cheese soup is the bees knees. As is the spicy tomato basil, and the mushroom soup. I’m sure I’ve tried more, and they’ve all been wonderful. As for the sandwiches? They’re fine. Overpriced like Pret a Manger, and to be honest I prefer Pret for sandwiches. But especially in the cold months, Eat is one of my favourite places for lunch because of the nomtastic soups.

Plenty of other people have reviewed this chain, so all I will add is that their single servings of Banoffee pie are absolutely TO DIE FOR. Desert heaven. Currently playing havoc with my waistline…

I heard they had been sold for a staggeringly large sum, anyone know any further details or where I could find information?

Purveyor of lunch stuff to the masses, right? Yeah, I need to stop being so judgemental. I’d been told many-​a-​time that EAT was okay, another chain lunch venue and whatnot. I’d encountered EAT previously as the expensive one in the Birmingham Bullring. But actually, you know what, with the benefit of hindsight and a wallet battered by our glorious capital, I’ve realised it’s not only rather good but also a well priced option.
It was cold today. I needed soup and fast. EAT soups are good, a voice from within the office said. Having heard this before from a number of people, I decided it was worth a little look.
Now, entering this branch at 1pm on a weekday afternoon does not do much for the friendly, small company feeling as a massive queue of suits line up to be shuffled into the next available till by a formidable looking Queue Manager. Conveyor belts R Us. If you want something from the fridge, fine, but if you’re trying to decide whether you’d like a lot, a very lot or a little of a regular soup or a chunky soup (no no, I’ve got this wrong, it’s simple or bold), whether you’d like it with bread, with coffee, with fruit or with a smile, you ain’t got much time. I’m not a fan of making rushed decisions (Make Mine across the road is similarly pushy) but at least it’s not complex here.
Once I was out though, I realised the soup is cheap, filling and unexpectedly good. I’m a bit of a stickler for soup in shops as I can generally make better (naturally I am also noted for my modesty) — but the bacon and lentil thing I was served up today was a pot of tasty goodness — lentilly, bacony goodness. Crucially, not too much salt, a common sin. I’ve noticed they also make Phở pots now (they must be new, advertising all over the store), more pricey than the regular Prince of Soups, but definitely worth a look in. You can check the soup of the day online too (tomorrow’s is chicken laksa, get in my mouth!)
So I suppose you can consider me a converted EAT bod. Hopefully they’ll be a happy dependable place as we move unfalteringly into winter. Souper.
(oh dear)

Sehr schade, dass wir Eat. nicht in Deutschland haben. Das Konzept ist einfach und beliebt. Man bekommt gesunde und frische Kleinigkeiten. Über verschiedene Salate, Wraps, Sandwiches bis hin zum Kaffee und frischen Obst. Es gibt auch herrliche Sweets und alles for take away oder zum dort essen. Lecker.

Are EAT taking over London (and the world)? The time was that all you saw walking around the city’s streets were more and more branches of Starbucks. But now there are no less than three EATs within a 5 minute walk of each other along High Holborn where I work. I know there are lots of hungry office workers around here, but still
That said, unlike many other sandwich chains, EAT have isn’t half bad with fresh ingredients, adventurous sounding sandwiches and decent prices. The chorizo baguette is lovely.
I just wonder if (with so many opening across the capital) they can keep up the quality

I am a big fan of Eat. I’ve reviewed some other branches, notably the one on the South Bank, which is a favourite.
This particular branch is well located if you work in BBC radio, as it’s a very short stroll from both Broadcasting House and Henry Wood House. Even if you don’t work in BBC radio, but work locally, I would encourage you to have a look at lunch offerings from Eat.
Soups are excellent. Their chai latte is really creamy, and only £2. The Eat Club sandwich (toasted) is one of the finest lunches you can have in London for under £5 and is consistently good in every branch.
Downside to this branch is that there are no toilets. Upside is that there are some seats outside in the sun.

I’m going to stick my neck out/​jump off the fence/​be bold and say that I’d choose Eat over Pret a Manger any day of the week. You could say it’s because it has a more appealing range of fillings, or that its porridge is better, or the staff are friendlier, but really it’s because Eat knows how to properly quantify the amount of mayonaise that goes into its sandwiches

un sandwich, une soupe, un dessert, une salade. manger équilibré et sain, oui c’est possible ! les produits sont de qualité chez Eat. et niveau desserts, la gourmandise n’est pas en reste, essayer le Banoffee .miam !

This chain of sandwich shops is really a treat. Their sandwiches, snacks and coffees are good but their soups are sublime. They have two different soups on the menu everyday — one simple and one bold. The bold ones are more to my taste and I have gone through a number of vivid and unusual flavours, from Hungarian Goulash, to Chicken Pot Pie, to American Corn Chowder. The Vigo Street outlet is small but the staff is super-​friendly and helpful and never rush you even at busy times. Well worth a visit — and do try the soups.

Eat The Rael Food Company has branches throughout London and is a good place to have a quick nourishing meals. The sandwich fillings are interesting, quality good and they always have 3 or 2 types of soups in eithr big or small. The place here at Oxford Circus is busy but the service is not unfriendly. Reasonable meal for a fiver.
