I was a few blocks away from one of the BEST, CHEESEIST MAC'N CHEESE, so I walked over. The other food is very good too! But, this Mac'n Cheese is such a treat!!! See my photos. I enjoyed this last month, too!! read more

My first experience here was at a London shop. Fantastic lunch there. This was breakfast on Park and 54th. Awesome egg frittata and hot coffee. I'll be back here again. Fast service and a great price! read more

I like Pret. You can get reasonably priced healthy and hearty food items here that are made fresh daily. The Moroccan Lentil soup and tuna sandwich are my go-to meal here Nice staff. Clean location. Can't sit inside yet but there are some tables on the sidewalk. On a nice day it was good to be outside along Park Ave. read more

The customer service here is not great. They don't greet you and tend to ignore the customers. It seems like they don't care about their jobs and don't want to work. I've ordered food on app for pick up a few times and they never put it aside. I have to pick it up and get it myself and they give me weird looks. They also don't seem too happy about the sips club at all. I tend to just go in and out but the staff is not very friendly. The manager is nice but rarely there. read more

Nice location. Came here to wait for a friend who works upstairs. Nice banquette seating. Know that in this particular area, there's a Pret on every corner so I'm used to my fair share of them. No pike because it was the afternoon in midtown so there's little foot traffic. Bought an overpriced strawberry lemonade which was tasty and a couple of croissants. Lots of seating and it's an entire corner. Lots of space to sit and work but really not seeing any outlets around for plugging in. Only giving 4 stars because I told the cashier little ice in my lemonade and with little to no traffic, including no one behind me, she still gave a lot of ice. read more

While walking to walk, stop by pret to grab some bagels, blueberry muffins, crossiants, oatmeal bowls for my slacker staff and wait was minimal as the covid nightmare has make most pret shops close for good, cut store hours across the board and limited inventory on most food items during breakfast and lunch time . I am glad the park Ave near 54th st location is still hanging in and staff I have gotten to know by name are really nice people . No table sit in to eat and drink but there is some seating outside if you prefer .pret a manger is still around and next time chicken noodle soup with a caprese sandwich sounds like a plan . read more

Place still offers terrible customer service, esp. if you're a person of color. Came here today to get lunch a little while ago. Two Dominican guys chatting away in Spanish about nonsense... I speak Spanish... Using the word "la cabrona" around customers is not exactly appropriate. I ignored it. Person that should've been serving me at the register walked away, and then I'm standing there with what I grabbed to pay for waiting to be served. Finally the guy walks back over after yacking in Spanish. Just crazy... read more

By far my favorite Pret in the city! Friendly staff, clean dining space, beautiful decor, and of course, delicious fresh food. Their chicken mozzarella baguette is my favorite. I like their tomato feta soup and falafel hot wrap too. If I'm feeling like a portable healthy snack, a protein pot is a quick and filling snack. read more

I'd like to salute this Pret location. I didn't think I would ever do that because I first fell in love with Pret while studying abroad in London in '09 and the sandwiches there + the Pellegrino saved my life (I couldn't handle the taste of European water at the time!). Well I stopped by one day at this location and the product is the same, but shout out to the staff here. Super helpful with adopting the digital app world of Pret and receiving a free cup of Joe + some samples to shoot. Super kind and memorable so next to my Pret I stopped by every day before class back in another decade, this spot put a smile on my face so thank you! read more

This was my first time there and I loved the food! I had the mixed green with spinach salad, sweet potato, chicken, candy pecans, raw beets or purple carrots and a soft cheese. The cheese was perfect for me to dip my roll with. The natural juices are also very delicious. I had the watermelon beet juice. a little pricey for me but it is all natural so I feel it is worth it for my health. I look forward to going back again and trying other Food. Also the place was clean, well stocked and very comfortable read more

Only rating this somewhat highly because the subscription is worth it - otherwise, coffee isn't stellar and customer service is historically not very good. Wifi, somewhat reliable. But subscription is a good investment for regular coffee drinkers read more

Tiny portions and expensive. Go somewhere else. Food is ok but you'll leave hungry. I've gotten grilled cheese and chicken parm sandwiches both underwhelming read more

Pret is always fresh and pricey. The egg salad with sun dried tomato on a crusty bread was tasty but smallish for $3 I could get a lot more breakfast elsewhere. Service is friendly and quick. Never have to worry about freshness since they donate unsold food every night. read more

Pret used to be my go-to spot for a quick, affordable lunch back in London, so I was really happy to see it followed me to New York. Granted, the prices are not crazy cheap (here or in the UK), but neither are the other options you have in Midtown. Food-wise, selections are pretty simple but tasty. You can taste the difference in their fresh, higher-quality ingredients. I've always liked that they keep items in-store only for the day that they're made (and donate what's left to charity at the end of the day). Their sandwich selections, which come on soft 9-grain bread or harder baguettes, come in a variety that ranges from egg salad to more interesting options like balsamic chicken & avocado. You'll find that simplicity is key here. None of the options are going to shock you with their creativity, but the few ingredients they use are high quality and chosen well. I love their prosciutto sandwich, for example, which only has prosciutto, sharp parmesan, tomato, and basil on a baguette but still manages to hit the spot. I find the sandwiches decently filling for a standard lunch, and sometimes I like to pick up a half-sandwich (for half the price aka ~$3-4) and a latte to fill me up. They're not going to leave you feeling stuffed, but I feel like they're what a good portion (read: not supersized) should be. Pret also offers a selection of salads, wraps, soups, fresh baked goods, and snacks like granola-yogurt pots. Everything comes well-portioned and is convenient to grab and go for all of us Midtown office workers. Coffee-wise, I think their prices skew towards the cheaper side in the city. A latte is only $3, which is better than I've found at my neighborhood coffee shop, and it's decently strong to boot. Overall, I'm very happy with Pret in general and with this particular location. Employees are friendly and helpful (in a city that makes this a rarity), food is above-average, and the price is right. read more

HOLY CRAP! I just had a Pret sandwich with WAY too much horseradish in the mustard! My sinuses are completely open - thank you very much. Not cool at all... not cool at all. Other than for today's painful experience, Pret does not disappoint - better than average sandwiches and salads. And it's relatively quick even during the lunch rush. Now only if I would have thought to do what this guy did... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/6097846/Man-invoices-Pret-A-Manger-and-EAT-for-time-spent-waiting-in-shops.html read more

Anyone with a day job in midtown has most likely been to Pret, or at the very least, seen a location. There are around a dozen or so in midtown. I can't speak for them all, but I assume they are all practically the same. This location is great. First, all their sandwiches and salads are made everyday in their kitchen, using very fresh ingredients. I recommend the organic chicken and mozzarella, or the thai chicken wrap. Plus all of their sandwiches come in 6 and 12 inch sizes. Second, they are reasonably priced for sandwiches, and just as good as that overcrowded, expensive, very slow place across the street (yes I am referring to Dishes...) Third, they have 10 or so variates of an excellent brand of chips in my opinion: Kettle chips. Finally, they have 7 or 8 registers, and all are in use during the lunch rush, so you are in and out within a couple minutes. There are a couple tables, but it is really a takeout place. It doesn't matter, as there are numerous places to eat outside within a block or two. read more

I go here all the time when I am running around and looking for lunch in between jobs. really all the food is delicious. the soups are first class. I even like their cookies. everything is fresh and fast. I am always looking for a pret! just beware the cofee is really awful. do not get coffee here read more

Pret, you and I are about to become very good friends. Maybe even best friends. I've always been a frequent visitor of your various locations. Basically, you can expect me to pop in for a grab and go lunch on a semi bi-weekly basis. Your soups (especially Moroccan Lentil) and your sandwiches (Ham and cheese, tuna and cucumber, brie and tomato) are constantly in my lunch rotation. I'm only lukewarm about your salads, but don't take that personally. I'm not a salad person to begin with. Now that you've opened around the corner from my office, you now get the distinct honor of being the closest place to get food (excluding the office cafeteria, of course). So based solely on that, you'll probably be seeing more of me. And now that you're featuring the Jamon Beurre sandwich, which might be the best sandwich I've ever had from Pret, you'll DEFINITELY be seeing more of me (Fair warning: I'd keep those well stocked if I were you). PS - This review is actually for the location on 400 Park Ave South and 28th St, but it seems to be lacking a listing and Yelp seems to be mistaking this for the other 400 Park Ave location at 53rd st, so yeah. read more

If you want simple sandwiches with the freshest ingredients, this is a place you should try. The sandwiches are offered on wheat, rolls, and wraps. The wheat is so soft, that it should be considered a delicate sandwich. The soups are phenomenal also. Tomato basil is definitely a winner. From time to time, I have a craving for the carrot cake slice! It is really good --light and soft from cake to icing; good without being overly sweet. Great with a cup of darjeeing. read more

Great place to pick up a quick sandwich. They are kinda on the small side, but then again, its probably a normal size sandwich (Fat American) The Juices are killer ! Major plus that they get you in-and-out fast ! (NewYorker on Speed) read more

I got some iced coffee there this morning and it was very good (made even better by their organic soy milk). The aroma as soon as I walked in the door was *wonderful* and I wanted to buy everything in sight, but somehow I got control of myself; ha ha. Also, the manager was a really nice guy; extremely pleasant. read more

As much as I HATE paying their ridiculously high prices for a salad (minus 1 star for you for an $8-9 salad!), I still do it. Often. More often than I care to admit. Their sandwiches are yummy, too. And I really like that they donate all their leftovers every day to some local food bank. Plus, all their employees are insanely friendly, helpful and seem thrilled to be working there. I want whatever they're having. read more

Healthy, fresh, great selection, expensive though. Love the sushi, it always tastes fresh. Love all of the salads especially the one with mozzarella and avocados. Love the chicken/pesto sandwich- it is amazing! Soups are also generally really good, people who work here are always super nice and helpful. I only wish it were slightly cheaper. But everything else about Pret is delicious! read more

I used to hate pret, thinking the sandwiches were too small for a normal person. I maintain that belief for most, but their baguettes are definitely meal-worthy. (The heated sandwiches and the normal ones I still think you need to buy an extra half or bag of chips with). I am a big fan of their 'famous' ham and cheese baguette, but they also recently introduced a new pesto chicken one that is worthwhile. The chicken noodle soup is a good side for cold days - or just those days you are feeling extra hungry. Tip 1: Stale Bread. They claim to make their sandwiches fresh every day. While that may be true, I am convinced that some of the bread is leftover as some sandwiches are MUCH TOUGHER than others. I would suggest squeezing the baguette before purchase, because while one may be fresh and taste great, the one next to it may have stale bread. Sometimes they only have stale bread, so I'd suggest getting a soup to dip it in. Tip 2: The Line. They have separate lines! Sometimes you enter and despite 7 cash registers there is only one incredibly long line that funnels into the registers. I reccommend being the one to start the new lines ebcause they announce every 5 minutes or so that the lines are separate, causing some madness as people jockey to the newly formed queues. Overall, pretty reasonably prices for reasonably good food with a good selection. It's pretty quick too. read more

I got some broccoli cheese soup and a ham and cheese sandwich when I was here. It's not pricy at all compared to other places in NYC and tastes so good. Their sandwiches are made with real crunchy baguette which is especially pleasing for Europeans who are fed up with American breads. Their soups are so tasty, and hot although they came from warm shelves only. There's barely any seating (around 10 high chairs) but one can look directly on the street. read more

Thumbs up for this place. Clean environment healthy ingredients, fresh squeezed juice, good selection of simple salads with both paleo and veggie friendly stuff. Tried many salads sandwiches and juices. They are all high quality and fresh. Service is quick and friendly also. Prices are also reasonable for manhattan. Eating there is ok for a quick bite but be aware that they only have 7 stools on shared bars. They could turn up the temps on the fridge just 2 or 3 degrees as some ingredients were almost ice cold. Otherwise I loved everything I ate. read more

I go there pretty often. It is good. Not the best, but very fine to get a quick lunch. They are very efficient, so even if there is a big queue, you'll be out in just a few minutes. They have some good stuff: their chocolate chip cookie is very good (most of the time, when they don't cook it too much), so are their sandwiches. In summary: perfect for a quick lunch. To enjoy a real meal, go for another place ! read more

Pret basically is a staple for the 9 - 5 office worker in Manhattan, everyone I work with grabs a sandwich from there at least once a week. The very first time I ate at a Pret was in London, this was years ago, and well before they started opening up in Manhattan. I was so excited when I started seeing these mod sandwich shops popping up all over the city. The food always seems carefully designed, and is always beautifully presented, the cashiers are fast and friendly--you can probably get in and out of a Pret within 5 minutes, which is so important on a lunch break. My favorite sandwich of all was the tomato, brie and basil; it came on a long cylindrical baguette, and was both soft and crunchy, and tasty and filling. It seems like they've stopped carrying it though because the last few times I've been there they haven't had it. So, I've switched to the grilled mozzarella Caprice sandwich that they heat up for you. It's tasty, but it's not nearly the same, and as a result I go there a lot let. read more

I eat at various Pret locations all the time when in Manhattan, and this location lives up to my expectations. I guess there's not much more to say than that. It's location is an easy walk from the Lexington Ave / 59th St subway stop, and that fits in nicely with my subway usage patterns when I'm in the city on business. read more

Just because you want to go out and grab a quick lunch doesn't mean that it has to turn into something that unhealthy or completely random! You still want it to taste good as if you were able to sit down and enjoy a full spread. Today a friend reminded me about a place that I used to love to go to! I love this location as it tends to be pretty quick. I thoroughly enjoyed my Tomato, lettuce, goat cheese and caper sandwich on wheat bread. With a package of Sea Salt Organic Popcorn, a Green Tea with Mango Juice and a small Brownie - this was perfect and under $11 which is also amazing. Take some time to check out their food at any of their locations as it's fresh and made on their premises. I also believe that any unused food is given to City Harvest as well. read more

This is a great option for fresh food. But most importantly for me is the service level here. It's been consistently good and friendly but today made it a bit more special. At checkout I made a comment that the Handmade Brownie Bite looked great but I'll have to skip it to be healthy. At which point after paying she slid one my way and said - treat yourself!!! Love.... will likely give away the brownie since her gesture was surely my treat for the day. Thanks! read more

Good place to get something quick for lunch in midtown. I can't stop eating the roast beef sandwich here. I like the half sandwich option because I sometimes get bored with eating one large sub, so I'll just get 2 halves of different sandwiches. I've tried a couple of different things like the chicken & mozz, ham & cheese, and swedish meatball sandwiches which have all been good. Had the seafood soup today and was pleased with that as well. Some interesting healthier yogurt/fruit drink choices which I enjoy but they are a little pricy if you are trying to save money. read more

Diagonally cut sandwiches; I always want one of each! To top it off, it's design-y enough that you don't feel like you are in quite such a generic chain. I care about things like that. read more

Decent lunch place to grab a quick bite (they are very efficient). Food is good and fresh (particularly the cookies). Only con which is important is price. It's significantly overprice (~50-100% extra for the same quantity) read more

Very bad experience I came in for a coffee and water. The place looks great but when I used the restroom it was filthy and I got a very bad bad disgusting smell. I understand restrooms get dirty but when I told the 3 staff members about the disgusting bathroom they didn't care. I got the dirty looks from all 3 employees for even mentioning it. They had maybe 2 other customers and simply didn't give a s**t about the s**t. They were just standing around doing nothing. Terrible experience read more

Fast, convenient and tasty. I like that they try to use organic and local ingredients as much as possible. A little pricey, but worth it for a healthy meal on the go. I recommend the jalapeno chicken hot wrap...just watch the sauce that tends to drip (only when you're wearing a white shirt though...). Gazpacho is tasty, although mine felt a little "separated", i.e. it needed to be mixed a little more thoroughly. Soups are teeny tiny and pricey, but make a tasty addition to a sandwich or salad on the go. Just be prepared to fight the army of midtown office warriors for that last "made fresh" salad - and if you come after 2pm, forget about a wide selection, because they are usually out of most of the popular items by that time! read more

Great sandwiches and I appreciate the fact they warm them. Now I have to say my favorite is their granola oat fruit slice. Awesome granola bar, but the calories are a killer. Glad they now have it in a smaller bar. Maybe after my training I can indulge again. read more

Really quick but super tiny- don't plan on sitting there unless you want to stalk someone!

Walked past the place a million times on the way to work, decided to try it after checking it out online. I will not be going back. I went looking for something healthy but tasty. What I found was all greasy and unappealing. Also overpriced. I'd recommend somewhere else - don't waste your time. read more

The staff here is great. I come here for people at work and we get the "warm" delicious chocolate chip cookies. They are AMAZING. Definitely recommend them! Who knew. read more
