Prior to this location, I've never been to a Pret A Manager everyone in my life. Now I can say that I've been to this particular Pret location about a dozen times. I've had the pleasure of trying their fresh pastries such as the almond crossiant, chocolate crossiant, and blueberry muffin. I've also tried the yogurt parfaits and fresh fruit for breakfast. The large iced hazelnut latte with oat milk has been my go-to coffee order here. I usually have to add a little sugar and some cream to it for more flavor. I've had the pleasure of having the fresh salads, sandwiches, and the delicious soup. The chicken cesar salad, turkey sandwich, and tomato are pretty good. This is definitely an ideal grab and go place. However, there's seating to enjoy your order to stay as well. Although Pret is on the pricy side, it's worth it. You have a variety of items to choose from for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can't go wrong with grabbing a bite to eat here. read more

Pret A Manger - Love it! - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

I hadn't been to a Pret in years. Nice selection of healthy pre-made food at this British version of Panera. Interesting salads and soups. I had chicken elote salad with corn, pickled onions, tomato and avocado with ranch dressing on the side. I was surprised that a couple of lettuce leaves in my salad weren't fresh but everything else tasted good and I liked the sauce on the chicken. I also had some mac and cheese, it was hearty. Excellent service, the cashier came out from behind the counter to help with anything I needed. They have a few small tables very casual and a bathroom. Wheelchair accessible. read more

Pret A Manger is the Same ole Chain of prepackaged food for high cost. I thought about getting coffee this morning but decided to wait for the delicious Gregory's Coffee to open next door. Pret has seating but it feels cramped. The cookies and pastries don't look appetizing to me. I'm being kind to give them three stars. I won't be back unless I'm desperate. read more

Great place to quickly grab a sandwich on the run. It's clean, quick and has many choices for different palettes. It's a consistent pre made sandwich plus shop read more

This place used to be my go to for lunch when I don't get around to packing my own. Over the last year their prices have gone way up and quality has gone way down. The last wrap I got there literally was just lettuce with some sauce, none of the other fillings were in there. Shrinkflation indeed. Staff is still nice though. read more

The sandwich had one piece of ham and some disgusting cheese and they wouldn't even toast the bread like they did last time we were there. The lettuce was not fresh. The cost was twelve dollars. Never again! read more

Pret A Manger - Crummy sandwich stale lettuce one of cheese and one piece of ham for twelve dollars - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Service is fine, but no longer the value proposition it once was. Would regularly go every other day due to combination of cost, quality, etc. But in past year or two cost has gone up almost 25%, now putting it within reach of much better spots that offer significantly bigger portions and more of a homemade quality. Difficult to see me going to any pret with any sort of frequency anymore. Still, reasonably good quality if not sure where else to go. read more

The staff member I complained about appears to no longer be at this location, and therefore my previous review no longer applies. I now occasionally go in the store and buy food, but the restaurant can be a bit expensive. read more

Not sure what it is, but I like Pret's baguette sandwiches. They're fresh, creative, tasty and satisfying. Everything from cucumber and tuna, to basil mozzarella and tomato to bacon egg and tomato, etc. they're all delicious. These places can get Crowded at lunchtime, because they're so popular. Pret A Manger is one of my standby quick grab lunch spots. read more

Quick stop for lunch while zipping through the city to my next stop. Everything was displayed to choose, pay & go. I was a bit surprised by the variety of options. Choosing a baguette sandwich I paid quickly and ran. When I finally got to eat the sandwich in my office, I was completely satisfied. The bread soft & chewy, the ingredients fresh. I only wish the contents of the sandwich were listed on the wrapper instead of just the sandwich name. I will be back! read more

I went in to this location on 3rd Avenue between 53rd and 54th Street at 5:20 today, a Wednesday afternoon. There were no customers inside, and the one employee on duty was busy bagging the garbage, with no gloves on. He stopped, and asked me what I'd like. I told him that I'd first like him to wash his hands. He then hands me a bottle of sanitizer. I told him I don't want to wash my hands, but I want him to wash his hands because he was just touching garbage. He told me his hands are clean. I told him that he was just touching garbage and I want him to wash his hands. He then, again, asked me what I'd like. Again, to told him to please wash his hands. He then said that that's not what he asked me. I told him what I wanted, to answer his question, and then asked him to please wash his hands before he prepares what I'd like. He then told me that he doesn't want to serve me. I took out my camera to take a picture of him, and he told me I can come in tomorrow and talk to his manager. I'm a retired nurse who worked for the Department Of Health. Your employee doesn't care if he violates the Health Codes. I'd also like to know why he even has a mask on if he's not going to wear it properly, as I shouldn't be able to see his nose or upper lip. Pret has closed so many stores. Business isn't great. STOP hiring employees who cause customers who are still buying your items to now go to your competition and give them their money, because that is exactly what I plan on doing! I'm sure you have cameras in the store. Please check them to see for yourself. read more

I'm not quite sure why, but they have two Pret-a-Manger's on 54th street within one block walking.... Reasons perhaps? A. This one is like the last ditch outpost for the person on the go about to hop on the 53rd & Lex subway lines. B. For people who can't handle the Hale & Hearty line insanity and give up. That being said they have 1/2 the shelf space so if you are craving something special such as the seemingly very elusive Roast Beef, Parmesan, Arugula, Horseradish baguette, this location is NOT going to cut it, not even diagonally. (Go to the bigger Park location for that.) They have the very basic sammiches, coffee, & soups at this location. Service is always top notch, pricey but uber convenient and fresh. read more

Last time I had Pret A Manger was in London and food there was very good. So I decided to walk in and see if it lives up to its expectations! The sandwich selection was phenomenal with each sandwich having all of its ingredients listed right next to its name. I decided to get the California Club which had pieces of roasted turkey breast (antibiotic free) topped with a sliced cage-free hard boiled egg, avocado, tomatoes, mesclun, and cilantro lime yogurt sauce on a 9 grain bread. Hands down this was one of the best sandwiches I had in a while! It seemed as this sandwich was just made and I stared eating it right away. All of the ingredients were fresh and delicious. I also got a cup of regular coffee which was little cold but good none the less. Overall I was very satisfied with my food and shopping experience there. I would definitely recommend going there for lunch and I'm coming back for more! Also, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of my sandwich because I ate it soo fast! read more

Purchased an egg sandwich and cheese and tomato sandwich along with a chocolate chip cookie. The butter in the cookie was rancid. Confirmed by one other besides myself. The cheese seemed like a sliced of processed cheese without any distinction. All this for just under USD 22. read more

disgusting food and rude staff, my sandwich plastic wrap had a whole and was opened!

Don't eat from this place the food is most expired. They change the dates when the food is bad. No one washing hands . No covid standard are seen at this location. Food falls on floors and they pick it up to make ! The company sells expensive expired products. the manger is rude and the shop has flies ever other week . read more

All things being contextual, this San Franciscan has been extremely disappointed with the coffee house selection here in New York. That being the case, Pret has everything that I need in a basic short-stay coffee place: - Decent coffee - Friendly staff - Good food - Free wifi Marked down for chain-esque feel and no power outlets. All in all, seems like a pretty good place for yor basics, but def not a hangout and work kind of place. read more

Got a "platter" dish from them that contained rice, avocado, chicken and this beet spread as well as a chicken sandwich with avocado and egg on rye (was hungry, its was about 6:45pm, and this was the only thing I ate the whole day until then... around 11Am, i was woken up by some fierce stomach growling and discomfort. After two hours of sleepless rolling around I started to vomit profusely which persisted to 10am this morning. I definitely have food poisoning, and I am missing an entire work day because I cant stop hugging the toilet. Called 311, and will never be eating here again read more

this is the third time I've ordered for delivery and this is the third time the order is completely wrong. Not once have they gotten my salad right and not once have they gotten my sandwich right. The foods delicious, but the service is lousy walk in and get what you want. That's the only way you'll know that you're actually getting what you want. read more

I've lived in NYC for three years and will finally publicly admit that I still have no idea how to pronounce the name of this place, so I just stick with "Pret" (which may or may not be an awesome name suggestion for a celebrity baby). I do know this, though: their Tuna Nicoise salad is simply amazing. Super fresh, with the perfect combination of ingredients: cucumbers, tomato, capers, kalamata olives, and really tasty, hearty chunks of albacore tuna. Definitely not your watery-just-dumped-from-a-can stuff. It's probably the freshest, healthiest, most feel-good-satisfying prepared lunches out there. All under $9, tax included. The other options looks pretty good, as well, particularly the other salads and the Skinny Gazpacho, and the coffee seems like it's worth a shot. Not the spot to have a seated lunch with a friend, but a great bet for a grab n' go that won't put you into a food coma later. read more

Fresh and delicious. I like their Vietnamese sandwich and summer salad crunchy wrap, and shrimp cilantro wrap. Salad wrap has lots of veggies including beets and hummus! LOVE. Most baguette sandwiches are on the slightly carb-heavy side. For salad, chicken avocado is my default choice - simply the best source for protein. Afternoon snack, they've got a wide array of "cups of goodness". When I crave for carb as afternoon tea, my default choice would be plain croissant plus skim mocha. Pret serves the best croissant among all the coffee shops. (Trust me, I've tried them all, big big croissant fan here) These sort of sandwich shops are equivalent to Starbucks in the coffeeshop category: pay the slight premium for the quality food and service. Definitely worth it! read more

Pretty good sandwiches (like every other Pret), especially when you are in a rush, and they have a good selection as well. On the other hand, I got the worst cup of coffee I've had in ages here. Horribly stale, so stale in fact, that it tasted like I bit into a filterless Camel. Blech. read more

Amazing, friendly staff. They are happy! Good, fresh food. Great place for a snack, coffee or lunch. There is space to sit in and eat as well. read more

Pret A Manger - Good coffee - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

I go here a lot before work for my morning coffee and have never experienced issues before. Today, I was treated so poorly by the cashier and felt extremely uncomfortable. I ordered a large iced latte with skim milk. When I got my order, it was a black iced coffee. I wouldn't have cared except I thought I paid for the latte. I kindly explained I ordered a latte and the employee rolled her eyes and began making my correct order. The employee who rung me up rudely called me over and explained that I certainly did not say I wanted a latte-and would have to pay the difference. I knew 100% I said latte-but I told the cashier that I was tired and maybe I did say coffee. I apologized and agreed that of course I would pay the difference. The cashier and her coworker couldn't figure out how to make me pay the difference for several minutes. The whole time saying things under her breath about me to her coworker. After they explained they could not figure it out on the register-I offered to just pay for the new drink in full (that would be a total payment of two drinks-one of which was incorrect). She rudely told me that what I said was ridiculous and gave me my correct order with another eye roll. I was being extremely nice and understanding the entire ordeal, but felt very uncomfortable and embarrassed at the hands of the cashier. I will unfortunately have to find another place to get my morning coffee. read more

The food, as with any Pret, is delicious and fresh fresh fresh. My office mates and I are here all the time. When it opened, I remember there being a sign saying they paid their staff at $10 or $12 an hour, starting. I don't know for sure, but man, those people are so friendly. They all smile, welcome you, are helpful, it's a pleasure to dine there. read more

Cashier did her best to ignor my hellos then to listen to a word I said. After asking her a question twice I raised my voice in case she couldn't hear me (background noise??) but she took offense to that. She didn't give me a receipt or a bag, just a recentful look as I left the store. After leaving I realized my sandwich had been opened, so I turned back to return it. She helped me, but again no frills, just the same "you're not welcomed here" look as before. No need to go back there again, sandwich was opened, and most of the cashiers were in "party" mode, not connecting with the clients like they used to 6 months ago. read more

I go here frequently because it's right across the street from work and sometimes you just don't want to go very far. That is really the main reason I keep going back. But, I will say this: The service at this Pret is AMAZING. The staff is SUPER super sweet. I have never left that place feeling like I was given the cold shoulder (or a cold sandwich, as I frequently order their heated sandwiches). Additionally, I find it EXTREMELY heart-warming that they donate their leftovers to charity organizations at the end of the day. I love a business that is altruistic and doesn't waste product. In terms of food, the items available are always VERY fresh. Sandwiches, sushi, soups, salad -- everything is simple and delightful. I also thoroughly enjoy their fresh juices and "love bite" dessert items. The eatery is also CRAZY clean. Overall, a very enjoyable experience! read more

I have visited this Pret for more than 5 times. Everytime I dine in this place, the entrees came out the way I expected it to come out yet also exceeds my expectations. The Pret drinks and coffees came out excellent as well. I also love the young and clean atmosphere, organized yet stylish and friendly customer service. The only disappointment is a lack of restroom but that is fine if you are grabbing it on the go or for a quick dining in session. But, if you do need a restroom, check out the other Pret @ 54th and Lex one block down which has a nice one. read more

Price: Moderate, like $4 for a small soup (which I am addicted to) Food: GREAT! I have had most of their soups and I am addicted to the Moroccan Lentil Soup. It is so great. I recommend that everyone try it!! Staff: The service is quick and the staff is friendly. I love PRET's business model; giving their consumers fresh food daily and being as socially conscious as they are....their Moroccan lentil soup is a super added bonus. What a great place for lunch! read more

This was a wonderful discovery for someone from out of town, spending long hours at Sloan-Kettering facility around the corner. The food is delicious, fresh, and very reasonably priced. Also, the coffee is delicious and on the coffee prep table (milk, sugar, etc.), soy milk is one of the available choices. In addition to salads, hot and cold sandwiches, there are four or five soups daily. The two we tried (chicken noodle, morrocan lentil) were superb and very filling. Service was great, place clean, and pleasant sitting area. read more

Love it. I go here everyday for lunch and it always tastes just made, healthy and fresh! I love the falafel, hummus salad, and the chicken noodle soup. The pine nut veggie wrap is also unusually delicious. I wish they would bring back the salmon salad (it was replaced by a lobster one) But I still will return. And the staff is so friendly. LOVE. read more

I love how the Café is so cleaned and really fancy even though its a Café its still very fancy the prices of the food are reasonable not expensive but not cheap right in the middle i love the coffee very great sandwiches all in all 10/10 read more

I love Pret for their fresh products and great service. This particular location is a little smaller than others in terms of selection, but I've never been disappointed with the lunch I bought. The great thing about Pret in general is that their sandwiches are very consistent. I'm a sucker for their Egg Salad & Arugula sandwich. Each one is made with equally fresh ingredients and with a high degree of quality. The staff at this location are really friendly, and very efficient at making the line move quickly. Even during hectic lunch hours, the wait is never long. If you're looking to dine in you may have trouble finding a table during busier times, but it's great for grabbing a quick sandwich on the go. read more

Shamefully my favorite lunch place, hands down. Pret's are always a pleasure anywhere you go. The staff always makes sure I have a place to sit. (Note, those high chairs and tables are the least-disability friendly things.) So for the staff to go out of their way to make sure that I get a place at every visit, is amazing. read more

The entire team here is outstanding and fantastic. Basically they make you feel like you are in a hometown cafe, they remember me everytime, greet say hello and remember you if you haven't come by in a while. Service speaks louder that words, for last 7 months I stopped going to Starbucks around the corner. Oh yeah goes without saying food is always delicious. Thank you Prer Mager 53rd & 54th on Third Avenue team you all rock! read more

I first visited Pret a few weeks ago since I was tired of having the same things for lunch. I grabbed the chicken noodle soup and half a sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised. The soup was light and warm and paired well with the half sandwich. The sandwich was fresh and the greens in it were crisp and refreshing. The next day I went in to grab breakfast and they have these amazing hot sandwiches with fluffy eggs and a soft bun. I also enjoy the atmosphere if I decide to sit and have lunch . It's very positive and the music is well picked. I'm so glad I went in the first time! read more
