Drinks are milky and there are wayyyy better options in the city. The matcha wasn't strong and the chai flavor overpowered it. Drinks and food are overpriced. Food is refrigerated and bland. There's lots of seating inside though. read more

Tables are tight but they were clean, sat here for tea and the tea vaguely tasted of coffee, which was odd. A little more space than some other locations, close to Grand Central. read more

I got a free coffee as it was my 1st visit. Great way to welcome me on board. I looked around, sat and got a feel of the space. I would have to go onto their website and read up on who they are/what they wanna share with us because I couldn't make sense of it. The menu was very limited, I couldn't make a choice. I know we are usually overwhelmed with variety yet either this cookie or that cookie was "demanding"... for lack of a better term at the moment. Maybe their goal is to be an extreme opposite to "the other guys". Will I return? Most likely not, I like feel I'm choosing. read more

Typical Pret but at least this chain offers some healthier options and pretty fresh food. Still diggin' on the Moroccan Lentil soup. One of my favs. Just don't enter the bathroom after you see me walking out. Just saying. Spicy Shrimp & Cilantro wrap is solid, and the tuna sandwich is also good if you're a non-meat eater as myself. Even late in the day or early evening there are usually a few options left to enjoy. Lots of seating at this location, and pretty clean. Quick service at the counter. Free wifi too. read more

They're really nice about letting you bring outside food here. I had a chocolate hazelnut croissant which was buttery, flaky, and delicious. Can't complain! read more

Pret A Manger - Chocolate hazelnut croissant - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

We went there for breakfast, cause it was one of the closest cafés, and we were hungry. The selection was weak. I ordered a fruit cup and a Bacon n egg sandwich. The sandwich was fine, but the fruits were spoiled, and unedible. Service was very bad, they were ignorant, and got our order wrong the first time, because they were distracted by eachother while taking peoples orders, and making the food. Homeless people just walked in, and staff were not even bothered by them. I've had great experiences with Pret-A-Manger, but this one was not it. read more

Chicken Avocado Salad so delicious!! Huge portion and so fresh! Staff very friendly! Would definitely go back! read more

Pret-a-Manger during lunch hours is typically great for those desiring healthier versions of the unexcitingly safe trio (soups, salads, and sandwiches). One needs only suspend their desire to obtain a "value" meal, and you basically have a place that is perfectly catered for the indecisive. That is not to say it is bad. But, at least Cafe Metro attempts to be adventurous with their custom pizza and pasta stations. For this midtown employee, the redeeming aspect of this Pret location is the ability to lounge out. Large plush seats and low round tables are quite inviting for those who want a place to sit down, put your legs up, and schmooze for an hour. Their chocolate chip cookies and croissants are good to munch on all day long. In the end, Pret is excellent for cookies and comfort. A solid 3-star experience (especially if you stay away from the pathetically bland coffees and chais). read more

I remember my first trip to London when I was in my early 20s. I was there visiting my friend Muyiwa who introduced me to several Londoners. Dean and Aly like Muyiwa became long time friends. We went to great restaurants, lifted our pints in countless pubs, and danced to the wee hours in several posh night clubs. I especially enjoyed talking to the ladies and listening to every single word that flowed off their lips in that lovely British accent. Every encounter was a captivating experience. One day while strolling around town I noticed a sign which activated my curiosity, Pret A Manger it read. When I entered I saw a bevy of sandwiches, crisped, and interesting beverages displayed smartly in refrigerated cases. The Coronation Chicken, Tuna and Cucumber, and Classic Super Club quickly became my favorites. Fast forward several years to NYC on Lexington Avenue I heard that Pret A Manger opened a location not to far from my apartment on the upper east side and I was on my way there. Once I saw the sign and got my first glimpse inside the store it really took me back to London so many years ago. The eats were just as I remembered them and the standard was of the highest quality. I was delighted to share a picnic lunch from Pret A Manger with Niki when we first started dating. Today the sandwiches are different but still very tasty. I tried the California Club last I was in the store. It was very tasty and since I was in a hurry the convenience of grab, pay, and go was great. I think they should put a few of the classics back on the shelf and putting cucumbers back in the tuna sandwich would be a good move too. Besides that I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

On my recent trip to New York for business, I stayed at the Intercontinental on 48th and Lexington. I absolutely adore New York City, so I just swallow up everything it has to offer. About a block and a half from the hotel, there was this Pret a Manger. I stopped in to get some coffee and breakfast. I wish so much that Chicago had a Pret. During my three days in New York, I had breakfast and coffee here everyday. The first day I had the ham, cheese, and tomato croissant. It was a little decadent for breakfast, but so delicious. The next two days I had the blueberry compote and granola yogurt, and then the petite yogurt. Both of these were so good. The cashiers were also extremely friendly and nice. One of them said that they thought I looked like I could be the mom of Charlotte's adopted girl on Sex and the City, a comment that brought a smile to my face. My friend Gina just told me they are opening a Pret in Chicago, YEAY! read more

Came inside to grab a salad. The salad was decent and the taste was a bit bland, added some of the lemon sauce to my salad and came out to be tasty. Fast service and decent quality but the price was a bit too much. read more

Came in at 12noon, 6 people sitting down eating, no one else in the restaurant. I wanted a large coffee, paid, female staff tells me to help myself. I go over to coffee station and ever carafe is empty, except for decaf. Staff walks to back, male staff comes out. I tell him everything is empty, he asks what I wanted, I said dark, he had a carafe at the counter and offered, and also told me the coffee station will be refilled in 4 minutes. His service brought it up to 2 stars, if I was based on the unpleasant female staff, out he 0.5 stars... read more

This location has ample seating and they tend to be better stocked than my preferred location on 47th and 3rd. I love the fresh, healthy options that Pret offers and that everything is prepared and ready to go but still high quality. It is still a better lunch option than most of the others in the area in which you have to wait for your food to be prepared and never really know what you are going to get. The food here is consistent and that is important for calorie counters like me who use apps to track my intake. The cost is a little high but considering the high quality, freshness and the fact that they donate leftovers to the homeless makes up for the price difference! read more

I walked past Pret to go to another place for lunch and then saw their display and went in. Loved how quick and healthy the place was. They have a lot of sandwiches, baguettes, salads on display which you can choose. Price too is reasonable. Lunch time was busy but i was able to get a table relatively quickly once i picked up my order. I ordered cappuccino on my way out and it was horrible, so knocked one star out. I really wanted to give them for price and quality of food here. The staff was friendly and i really liked the decor here. Cool line on the napkin - If our staff gets very excited and give you more napkins that you need or want, give them the evil eye. Need not- want not. (Or something similar) :) I love this place just be warned about cappuccino though, the barista has no idea how to make it! read more

First time here while on a visit to NYC for work, will definitely be back! I got -admittedly - lost while trying to find a lunch food truck earlier today. And after google maps failed me numerous times, I decided to drop in here for a snack and an iced beverage, after walking past it a number of times. Service? 5/5 SUPER nice and friendly staff, one of the girls (Nicky?) had apparently seen me walking down the street a few times (LOST PROBLEMS) and liked my hat, and then lo and behold I ended up coming here. Weird world, but I really appreciate it, I had just been running away from a creep and everyone so far has been so rude. A breath of fresh air here. Interior? 5/5 Biased because it fits my aesthetics HAHA. Brick and lighter woods. Lots of air conditioning, super nice since its so hot outside - though I feel for the staff that are freezing in here. Food? Drink? Fresh fruit was good. Coming from a state where fruit produce is our main crop, we get a lot of fresh fruit for cheap. The price here isn't bad at all - the last I saw was $10?! - and the tea is great! Not too sweet, not too bitter. (Iced Green Tea) 10/10 would reccommend to any traveler, or just anyone nearby. Pricing on salads and other foods were good too. read more

Really, really needs better organization/ management. They take forever to restock items that are out, while replenishing others for which there's already lots of. On the plus side, the food itself is consistent w other Pret locations. read more

Prets food is pretty satisfying to me. They offer a good selection of breakfasts, lunches and light dinners along with a few pastries, desserts and beverages. Love their seasonal menus with chocolate peppermint cookies etc... read more

Like every Pret, it's a bit more expensive than not, but for the food you're getting, it's worth it. The ingredients taste very fresh. I've gotten their avocado and chicken salad, which you can't go wrong with for about $9.75 and never found a bad leaf. The avocado is always green and the chicken isn't suspicious like many meats you may find in random salad places. It's all pre-packaged and made in the same day, which is great because you can just grab and go and be assured that you're getting a quality lunch. Sometimes it gets crowded, but the line usually goes by very fast since people only have to pay. Highly recommend their freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice as well. Very delicious! read more

An OK place. Compared to other lunch places, this Pret is rather large and does not get congested easily. It is great if you are looking for a quick grab, but it is lacking if you are looking for an experience. I like its Ham & Swiss baguette and Spicy Shrimp & Cilantro wrap. read more

This Pret could be great, but there a couple problems. First, the good stuff: This Pret (and all others I've been too) really does have some of the best quick lunch food around. The sandwiches are always very fresh and there's a large, diverse selection. Almost everything I've tried here has been satisfying, and there are a lot of vegetarian options. The food isn't cheap but it's also not over-the-top spendy. Furthermore, the staff here are very nice and hospitable. It's a solid place to sit down and have a quick lunch. Unfortunately, this particular location is trolled by a manager who is consistently rude to his employees and dismissive towards customers. He occasionally forces them to shout nonsensical garbage about how everyone loves a chicken sandwich or how they've got warm pastries. If you've ever been to a Coldstone Creamery, you know what I'm talking about. He's just one guy but somehow he gives the whole place negative vibe - you can immediately see how fearful the employees are of him and it's very uncomfortable. The other problem is the seating: way too many living room style lounge chairs with coffee tables, not enough room for solo people or couples. This is a pretty minor complaint, but when you go in for lunch and there's nowhere to sit because two guys are sitting in lounge chairs and taking up 15% of the room, it's distressing. read more

Love it here. Love the service and the food. Everyone is always so cheerful and the spicy shrimp cilantro wrap is the bomb! It's my favorite thing to get and although I've ventured out into trying a variety of there foods ranging from Mac n cheese to soups to salads to sandwiches, I always come back to the spicy shrimp cilantro wrap. It's low calorie and absolutely delicious. On the side note, their desserts are also really good!!! I love love love this place. I would get it all the time except it's a little pricy and they run out of my favorite picks sometimes. Other then that, nothing to complain about :) read more

I have a love hate relationship with this place. I absolutely love their sandwiches (what happened to their cuban sandwich?) But i hate how expensive this place is for a small sandwich between two pieces of toast. Every time i get lunch from here I feel like I got taken for a ride. Every few weeks I'll allow myself to have lunch here but I definitely control myself of soon I'll be Pret a Pauvre. And they have the best lentil soup! 4 stars for food 2 for the high price. read more

I'm not usually a fan of anything pre-made, but Pret is my go to spot for a quick take out lunch. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the food is always fresh, even if you can't customize it. I also highly recommend the soups. It's also one of the few places you can get a simple sandwich for less than 6 bucks. read more

The young man who was at the register was very cheerful and acknowledged us as soon as we entered. They have a great section of breakfast options for the health conscious and there is free wifi. read more

A typical Pret. Food is good, service is always friendly. Cant really give a fast food place too many stars.

Good organic food but it's a shame that the staff is so rude. Lack variety and at 10:00am on a Sunday the shelf were lacking lots of products. Not happy read more

I love this Pret location. Everyone is so nice and those who work there always smile. It's clean and pleasant. I waited to get a grain bawl and because it took longer than expected, they gave it to me for free. I will only go to this location going forward. They care about their customers. read more

3.5 stars...I had never been to a Pret A Manger before, and if you haven't either, it's like a Starbucks with less emphasis on coffee and more emphasis on pre-made sandwiches, wraps, and salads. I've never been a real fan of pre-made sandwiches but I bet if you like most of their selections and work near by or are in a rush this would be a life saver. Personally I just got the lemon poppyseed muffin which not only was delicious and fresh but was the perfect size for a snack (not the giant meal sized ones you'd find elsewhere). Unfortunately they charge as if it's a meal sized one. The place is very clean, and they set aside a good portion of their floor to a comfortable seating area to eat and chat your lunch break away. The selections here are a tad limited but it's a nice chain and is worth checking out. read more

Exactly what it should be:) it's a great place to get fresh sandwiches, wraps, salads etc. The staff is always helpful and friendly. I love the Bang Bang Chicken Wrap:) on our recent trip to NYC Pret became a staple for us as it's a great quick, affordable, healthy place to eat in the city and it has free WiFi which is always helpful when you're travelling. Another perk is that these cafés seem to be everywhere so it's always a convenient place for a snack, meal or just a break:) I'd give it 5 stars but I'm going with 4 only because the tables were often messy from the previous customer but the staff were always very happy to wipe the table when I asked:) read more

Pret's customer service leaves much to be desired. I bought the Fiesta Salad yesterday and didn't realize until I left that the quinoa was missing from the salad. Went back the next day and told them that it was missing and the Manager on Duty didn't believe me. Like I would lie about that? This location is definitely not about customer service. read more

The service was amazing staff was super friendly and nice place was well maintained and the coffee was great!!

Just had terrible service at Pret-A-Manger. Ever thing I ordered she would tell me the total, not giving me a chance to finish my actual order. This is a huge pet peeve for me, because it makes me think th me customer isn't important. Then I asked for cream cheese and butter for my order, neither did I get. Then I thought she said she's getting me a bag so I wait, she walks away then when she comes back she said "oh did you want a bag for your order?" I am one person, ordering food for three people and I walked over in the rain, so yes I did want a bag but since it was such a burden to the "customer service rep" I left holding everything in my hands upset. Not a great last experience for this trip to NYC. read more

Best toasted croissant in the city....Oh, and the orange juice is pretty amazing too!
