My…read morePhilly cheesesteak inspired sandwich was truly excellent, with warm, juicy flavorful beef and rich cheese curds, nicely balanced by green bell peppers and onions and bound together by a mild garlic aioli on perfect sandwich bread. Also got a slightly spicy and crisp coleslaw for a cool contrast and a minor dose of vitamins. My tablemates were also really pleased with their orders (a vaguely East Asian glazed chicken with pickled Banh Mi-style veggies and a cold roast beef with arugula--must try those next). Wow. Another reason to visit Cambridge.

Nice, high quality sandwiches. I actually went here two…read moredays in a row while staying in Cambridge. The first day I ordered two sandwiches, the Porchetta and the Jerk Chicken. The Porchetta sandwich has nice roasted pork and a crispy strip of pork skin to top it off. The description says it has a salsa verde sauce. To me, it was more like a pesto-style sauce. The pork was all meat and didn't have any globs of fat that you sometimes find in American pulled pork barbecue. The Jerk Chicken Sandwich was the weekly special. It consisted of several pieces of skin-on mostly dark meat chicken, house made slaw and I think a little mayo. I took off the chicken skin. It wasn't crispy and I don't care for much chicken skin. Even doing that, it had good flavor. A nice blend of spices and a little spiciness. I didn't eat it right away but it was still good. Like I said, I ordered this sandwich the next day. This time I ate it soon after ordering. The roll was still warm and slightly crunchy. I liked even more when eating it "fresh." I removed the skin on this one too. I used the take out window on the side and they were pretty quick, even though there were about four or five people in front of me. I'll definitely go back when in town and craving a sandwich.

This was my first Pret A Manger store that I have been in when I got to the UK. Now I realize that…read morethis store has tons of locations all around the UK and it is pretty convenient! I love the brightly lit store with such a variety of different lunch sandwiches and of course drinks. I had their smoke salmon sandwich and it was super bomb! I also ordered an iced americano black and it was all pretty good. This place is clean and organized which is also a bonus. A little bit on a smaller side for chairs and tables but maybe it's because I'm from America and everything to me in the UK seems a little bit tight. Overall we have eaten and different Prets around town and can say their sandwiches are legit!!!

Pret A Manger has a hard-to-miss logo; it's practically everywhere (city centres, train stations,…read moreetc.) so it's a very familiar brand to many. After grabbing a couple of cheeky snacks in London and being satisfied with the product, we were eager to step in for another go at this location in Cambridge. You'll find it amongst many frequented shops in a busy, but easily accessed block of town. Their sandwiches are good, specifically the baguettes. We've had the Ham & Cheese (Niman Ranch applewood smoked ham, Swiss, Mesclun) and Chicken Caesar & Bacon (Chargrilled Caesar Chicken (antibiotic free), arugula, parmesan shavings, bacon on artisan baguette). Both were great. Though pre-packed, the bread is crispy and ingredients are fresh enough. The Dijon mustard and mayonnaise add the perfect flare to complete a tasty bite. Everything is packaged well, clearly labeled, and organised on the shelves. Despite it being a major chain eatery, Pret provides convenience, reasonable pricing, good quality, and usually does it right.

There's a good range for veggies and meat eaters alike and the sarnies always taste really fresh. I also recommend their delicious carrot cake, pecan squares and other sweet treats.

It's nostalgic and the best sandwich shop. When I studied abroad in London back in 2006- I was so…read morelucky to live up the street and got to eat here everyday! I've come back to visit London several times since then (most recently in September) and its amazing how all the shops have changed on this block but this sandwich shop still remains! I am sooo glad it's still here! Seriously the best sandwiches, hot dishes such as Samosas- still cheap and fast service! Love that the locals come here everyday and know they can get the best sandwich or hot food from here! I'm obsessed with their simple bacon and egg sandwich (all comes on a baguette) I get it with no sauce of any kind. My second choice- chicken with corn. Simple yet so tasty. No need a million toppings-

This is the best sandwich shop in the world and I look down on anyone that disagrees. Just kidding…read more The sandwiches and employees here are pretty amazing though- as are the prices! I came here 9 years ago when I was a student and vowed to come back to try more tasty treats. I did just that and brought my husband this time! We ordered: -Tandoori sandwich (hot) -Peri Peri Chicken sandwich (hot) Both were so delicious, huge, and under 3 pounds (which is unbelievable)! I would say peri peri chicken was the tastiest. The flavor was on point and had a good kick of spice. If you want to save money and are in the area-maybe to go visit the V&A or another museum, come grab a quick meal to go here first and then have a picnic!

For any of you foddies out there, this is the place to go. They have a great selection of meats,…read morecheeses, pickles, and all the usual deli items. But the best bit about this place is their cafe. It is quite small, and very popular so there is often a queue for a seat. However, it is well worth the wait. Their hot meat sandwiches are to die for, and at around £3.50 won't break the bank. They are served with a side salad and homestyle crisps, so it is like a proper meal. I also love their posh ceese on toast, which is melted Brie, on thick slices of breadyummy. Even their coffees are great. The inside is decorated in a retro style, ice cream colours and there is even a cute bunting around the doors. The best cafe in Hitchin by far.

The window displays are particularly mouth-watering and truly enticing, the staff very friendly and the produce always of the highest quality. It's not cheap but what it sells is well worth paying the extra for.
