Large Pret location in the Times Square area and across Bryant Park. Plenty of seating and a public bathroom available. Good wifi and if you need a phone or computer charge there are some outlets available, but you need to be lucky to snag a table as it seems people hog those for a long time. It's a busy location for sure. Good choice for a fresh healthier lunch option. The pick a pair combo is a nice deal for $10, especially in a touristy higher priced part of town. read more

Since I arrived very early for the Yelp experience at Royce Chocolate, I needed to put food in my digestive system before consuming sweets, so I stopped at Pret A Manger. Only looking through the window of the 59th street location as I passed by, I was very unfamiliar with this chain, I thought it to be a full diner or restaurant. Much to my dismay, I did manage to find something here -- but it wasn't served hot. I went to the cash register and asked the gentleman and young lady. I had to ask their names ( Shaun & Jennifer) the both of them delivered exceptional customer service that will definitely generate repeated sales and retain customers. I was blown away at Shaun as he actually stopped what he was doing to help me find what I needed. Jennifer double teamed me with her service ensuring I didn't forget anything as she offered me a drink. I did have a 50oz of water that I carry with me, however, Jennifer's suggestive selling tactics INSPIRED me to look closer at the juices. I did find a grapefruit juice that I very much enjoyed. Lately for some reason I have been indulging in this drink. I purchased the rainbow colored sandwich made up of avocado, pickled cabbage & carrots, hummus, Miso sesame dressing, lemon juice, cucumber, arugula, and seasoning on a multigrain bread. This sandwich was actually really good with a robust lemon flavor to set it off. Although I could have enjoyed it a lot better if it were hot but nevertheless I appreciated have a vegan option. Suggestion- not everyone wants cold sandwiches or cold food in the morning, by having hot option available that would please the customer more. Finally, if I'm in the area, this could be a stop for lunch. I'm pleased with the service today and for that reason alone I'm willing to ... Inspire more, Yelp more! read more

A great coffee spot to go. Just across Bryant park. Popular for fast service. Plenty of grab to go sandwiches, snacks and bites Nice staff.

Baristas have a nasty attitude this morning. I ordered a regular iced latte, she called out a medium iced latte but there is no medium on the menu; only small or regular. I hesitantly walked up because I wasn't sure if it was mine or not and she basically shoved the latte in my face. Sad because the coffee is so good but as someone who worked 4 years as a barista, the way you talk to people matters more than you think. read more

Michael was a customer service dream! Thank you for your kindness and patience in answering my request

Pret A Manger - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

For it being the morning of the blizzard-- + everything around it being closed honestly it wax great. Most of the shelves were pretty barren though haha. I got a lentils soup and it was quite yummy. But they said that prices are as good as 2016 and I'm just not convinced they are priced low enough still for being a Pret. Idk it isn't the ritz but it's still good solid coffee shop food. The service was really great actually for it being busy and stressful and I'm sure the staff didn't have a great morning getting into work so I did appreciate all of them. Other than that it was great! read more

The soup was delicious and came with free bread and toppings The personnel were very friendly read more

I visited Pret A Manger at 4 Bryant Park and had an amazing experience. The cafe is bright and inviting, with plenty of seating and a relaxed vibe. The large windows give a great view of the park, making it a perfect spot for a quick bite or a leisurely coffee break. I tried one of their fresh sandwiches and a latte. Everything tasted incredibly fresh -- the bread was warm, the fillings generous, and the latte smooth and well-made. You can really tell they care about the quality of their food. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the ordering process simple and pleasant. The whole cafe felt clean, welcoming, and easy to get in and out of if you're on a schedule. read more

Oh my god, I just left that place and I'm still feeling unsettled. I walked in, and was taking 4-5 minutes to choose between a salad and sandwich combo. One of the workers came to me and said "if you're not buying anything, you have to leave the place". I told him I'm buying. After I paid I went up to him and told him, literally "Honestly, that's a bit aggressive, telling people to leave because they're taking a while to choose". I was just hoping he'd apologize. Instead, he went "I don't think so, my manager doesn't think so". I'm still shaken by that interaction. I'm a middle-aged, quiet woman and wasn't causing any disturbance. It will take me a while to consider going back there, if ever. If you're thinking: there must be more she's not saying, because the story doesn't make sense... you're right, it doesn't make sense! That's why I can't believe it just happened. read more

This is one of the more larger and spacious locations I've ever been to. While I believe the London location I visited was the largest-- the space here was very ample. I typically take a later lunch, which means sometimes no soup for me (insert Soup Nazi voice from Seinfeld) but they still had an assortment of options. My go to is the Moroccan Lentil-- I was a huge fan of the Broccoli Cheddar however it seems post code, they no longer offer it. Nonetheless, Pret remains a wonderful option for lunch with their soups, sandwiches, and salads. I would definitely suggest this location as the staff was friendly, the place is spacious, and more importantly, they don't seem to run out of soup by 1:45PM like some of their other locations. FYI-- unlike most other Pret locations, the bread rolls that come with the soup are kept behind the counter instead of the basket. Feel free to ask a staffer for one. read more

place is maybe a quarter full, no line at register, buy food and follow the sign that says More Seats this way- the sugn is 1ft by 3 ft... about 2 minutes into sitting down an employee tells us we can't sit and eat here. we are a child, senior citizen iver 80 who had mobility issues and child. other couple near us get told same. every has that confused look on their face as other group of your adults also what in to sit down. apparently decided its so busy people can only eat there but not sit. we go to the front and another employee comes out and screams to just eat and leave, no hanging out. there is no one hanging out... maybe 2 young ladies at the corner... again place is mostly empty stay away read more

Pret A Manger - Forbidden sitting area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

The workers are very nice, and the cookie they sell is great. The atmosphere is also very calm and relaxing.

For a chain, this particular cafe near Bryant Park was the perfect stop. I was able to select a hot lentil soup from a shelf and when I paid for it, was offered a crust, fresh roll which I gladly accepted. There is a wide variety of sandwiches freshly made as well as specialty coffees and desserts. Clean, bright and a clean bathroom! What more can I ask for? read more

Regular pret but the staff is amazing! They re so kind and so efficient! They really make it a great place to stop by for coffee or a snack :) read more

I have never been to a Pret A Manger before and I'm very glad I stopped in. Though it is nearly double what Starbucks or Dunkin cost they offer better quality food and drinks. The staff were also incredibly nice an efficient. I'll definitely stop in again if I ever need a quick bite around the city. read more

Wanted coffee during my day in NYC and was craving Blue Bottle, but that closes early so we had to opt for whatever was nearby which happened to be a Pret A Manger. I guess this is an NYC chain? I've never seen ine before but I thought quite several of them so decided to give it a try. I ordered the iced mocha -- the barista recommended adding caramel syrup so I did that. Also got some strawberry lemonade which looked quite refreshing. Our drinks came out shortly -- the mocha was pretty good. Very savory and you could definitely taste the cream. They only had half n half so it was definitely on the creamier side. The strawberry lemonade was absolutely amazing! It was so refreshing with the perfect amount of sweet and sour. I think I liked the lemonade over the coffee. Overall, it's a pretty nice place. It looks like they serve grab n go foods as welll so it would be a good place to quickly grab breakfast and some coffee. read more

Of course my 1st love when it comes to Pret A Manger is the flagship store on 4th Street- near Union Square. This Pret A Manger across the street from Bryant Park is my second favorite. Here are my reasons why? It is convenient across the street from Bryant Park. Sometimes the lines are so long at the eateries in Bryant Park and when you are scrapped for time. It's across the street to Whole Foods or Pret A Manger. Although this store is small and with limited amount of seating compared to the bigger Pret A Manger, the tables are always clean. Not like some of the other Pret on the Westside. The food are freshly made and healthy. Mac and cheese was a tad salty The wraps are really good- Got the Hummus Falafel Wrap Hot foods- Chicken Parm Always an Almond Croissant to get that sugar rush with light roasted coffee. They have lobster sandwiches too. Will get that the next time. Will be back again that's for sure. They will not provide receipt unless you ask for it. Great way to save paper and trees. Bathroom code on receipt if you need to use the restroom. Ask for bag if getting lots of items. read more

Usually I prefer a mom and pop kind of cafe but I like this Pret because the staff is so nice. They always have the coffee area well stocked with hot coffee and all the creamer containers are full and the sugars are full too. The staff is always helpful and so kindhearted. I like the edamame/beet salads and Choco chip cookies and hot hot coffee. Tasty and fresh? Yes, thank you. If I had a guitar I would write a song about my experience here. One of the fellas looks like a famous actor . read more

I am a big fan of Pret, and this is one of my favorite locations, reasons being that it's very big, has bathrooms, is across from the park, is on the corner and is naturally lit up and pretty, has strong WiFi, and staff is so nice. Their tomato feta soup is always a knockout - you just can't go wrong with it. Their food is so consistent! Their dark roast is great, and I love that they leave the almond milk out, versus other cafes (cough cough), where you have to go up to the counter and beg for some. No frugality here! Their sparkling water is not bad, but on the pricey side. They also keep filling up the self-serve til late at night, determined to caffeinate us til the minute they close! Pret is known for wonderfully friendly staff, and I need to mention again how lovely the people who work at this location are. Whether it's nutritional questions or helping me decide on what to get, they got me. read more

We definitely need this joint in Toronto. I came across this chain in Singapore, Malaysia, HK, and Taiwan..they serve extremely delicious wholesome coffee, treats, sandwiches, and soups made from natural ingredients. Taste is exactly as good as in the Orient and here in NYC. You know the eatery is legit when you can count on the same taste no matter which continent you are on. Thumbs up....Waaaaaay up! read more

Pret A Manger - Cheddar Broccoli Soup.. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

While in New York, my go to place was Pret A Manger. I was only in New York for three nights and I went to Pret A Manger (various locations) at least half a dozen times. Pret A Manger sells yummy, HEALTHY food. The prices are reasonable too. (I'm ignoring the fact that the Canadian dollar sucks and that I had to pay an exchange rate on top of it.) While the prices can't be considered cheap (cheap food no longer exists), the prices weren't over-inflated. Here in Vancouver, "healthy" food is way overpriced ($10 for a salad?! Fuck off!) but Pret A Manger's prices were on par with unhealthy garbage food. There was a variety of food choices, as well as price points. I liked that if I just needed a little snack to keep my blood sugar up, I could buy something for under $5. That's rare. Usually I have to decide between unhealthy and cheap, or healthy and expensive. But not at Pret A Manger. I really liked the berry cups, veggie sticks with sweet pea hummus, and chicken and edamame cups. Perfect for a small snack to keep my blood sugar up. Everything also had the calories listed (I think it's some law in the States), so you could make wise decisions. Most things were fairly low cal, and even the odd item that had a high number of calories was still healthy. I really wish that Vancouver had something like Pret A Manger. read more

I like to hope that Pret is the rare company that treats its employees fairly and pays a competitive wage--not just for the social justice implications, but because otherwise, Pret is clearly a cult that is abducting youths and brainwashing them. How else to explain the seemingly sincere and remarkably joyous, ebullient service with which the staff here almost uniformly greets you? Come at the right time and you might even get treated to a free iced tea or coffee with your purchase. As to those purchases... Pret offers a pretty solid assortment of lunch options. In an era of specialization and competition, where I visit salad places to find they are now offering grain bowls to compete with the grain bowl places that are now offering salads, I rather appreciate how I can come here and get a soup OR a sandwich AND/OR a salad. Food is generally quite fresh and, speaking of competitive, their prices are quite reasonable for NY lunch standards. I find their Moroccan lentil soup and Egg & Quinoa pot particularly tasty for a quick, seemingly healthy lunch. read more

Ordered a drink at the counter. The manager either failed to tell the order to the batista or batista completely missed it. Stand there for fifteen minutes and no one said a word until we have to escalated to ask Where's our drink. Watched six customers behind us got a drink and the manager just didn't give a crap. Worst pret I have ever been to and the manager should go take customer management basic 101 or look for other job or industry that requires zero interaction with customer. read more

Pros and cons. The sparkling water is darn refreshing on a July day. Yum! Front of the restaurant is clean and the woman at the counter was friendly. However, you need a code to use the restroom, which was a mess. It smelled terrible, the floor was filthy, toilet paper strewn in the corners, sink basin was dirty, and there were about 8 people waiting in line. If you're stopping in here for its convenient restroom location to Bryant Park, manage your expectations accordingly. read more

There's nothing like coming to grab lunch and always greeted by suck a vibrant soul. I decided to give this location a try since I'm in the area more and I'm very happy I did. The manager Charlie always have a warm welcoming. Top notch customer service I wish there were more like her. Kudos to Pret for having amazing person at their location. This has definitely become my go to everyday. read more

Not gonna lie, I only came in here because I needed to pee. I bought a cucumber seltzer water since I didn't want to just roam in without buying anything. I took a sip while charging my phone and it was actually pretty tasty. Seriously, try that s***. This place always seemed very "meh" to me because I only tried their coffee and croissants. But after tasting the Chef's salad with balsamic vinaigrette, I have the heart emoji eyes. This is a cool spot for lunch/ brunch. read more

I have decided that chains all get three stars or below as they are proven to work. Pret A Manger is a chain. It's Starbucks good in its own way and if you know it, you won't be let down. There is nothing different in this one from the others. Still, the food and coffee are good and reasonably healthy. A good stop when starting out your day. read more

A great go-to coffee spot. I have the pret monthly coffee subscription, and it's well worth it if you live in Manhattan and drink coffee out often. Their oat milk chai latte hits the spot if you have a sweet tooth, or their flat whites with oat milk are also delicious. They unfortunately don't have many vegan food entree options (fruit and açaí bowls can be found), but some locations (not this one) have a vegan morning glory muffin. All in all not a bad coffee shop, considering the convenience and location. read more

The service is terrible. Do not come here. They are rude to you and they don't care about customer service at all! I love pret but I wont be returning to this location again. read more

Friendly staff, convenient location, quite a bit of seating, and so many food options in one spot. Just like other locations of Pret, the food is really fresh, and one of my favorite things about Pret is that you can just get half sandwiches (slims) if you don't want a full meal. Glad there is a Pret location so close to the park! read more

Pret A Manger - Balsamic chicken and avocado slim - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

My husband and I stopped in to grab a coffee. I needed to use the restroom and we requested the code. The man that took our order was clearly in a rush and did not explain clearly that he provided the restroom code rather than our order number. We were confused because we did not receive a receipt. The man proceeded to remove his mask and yell the code at us. He also yelled at my husband to repeat the code for him... I did not appreciate being treated that way. We chalked it up to poor communication skills and stress? Either way, not an establishment we will be returning to. read more

This Pret a Manger is quite spacious. There's another section of seating in the back behind the cash registers and you can basically lounge out. It's great. I ate a fruit cup here (specifically pineapple with lime) and the pineapples were rather sweet to my surprise. Fruit cups can be hit or miss, and given that it was like $4 I was hoping it would be doubly good. The front has the coffee where you can serve yourself. But I think as it gets later in the night, they start to run out pretty fast, but it looks like they will brew more anyway. read more

This spot always seems wildly disorganized with impolite and untrained staff. They move slowly and seem unable to understand simple orders. I tried to order an iced coffee here, which was erroneously coded as a cold brew, leading me to be overcharged. Even the order itself was made difficult by the need to repeat it 3 times despite its simplicity. read more

I came here on a Monday night at 9:30, having seen the posted times in the window stating they close at midnight. I proceeded to try to order some type of coffee - any type. I tried for decaf iced coffee but they didn't have any. So I settled for iced tea, but they didn't have any of that either. So I finally asked if they could make decaf espresso, but they were not making any espresso drinks - all they had was hot chocolate. It is beyond ridiculous for such a centrally-located café not to have any real coffee. And it is doubly frustrating that their hours posted in the window don't match up with what I see online, where their listed closing time is 10pm. read more

There is NY rude and then there is just rude. This one is the later. The person in charge was one of the worst behind the counter (not the cashier). My wife asked for some warm glass of water for her sore throat and the person outright shunned at us saying no hot water. Only ice. This is after us buying the coffee. Well good bye Pret Manger. Going to stick to Starbucks. read more

This Pret A manger is clean, and spacious. There are lots of sitting space at the back of the cash registers. In addition you can see what is going on in the streets by looking at the windows if you are in need of motivation or to be curious on what people do nowadays. The customer service is good as they are polite and helpful. I mistakenly dropped my coffee's cup lid and they replaced it immediately. The plain croissant in here is crispy, fresh, warm, and very tasty. read more
