Wanted something quick later in the evening and Pret was close so decided to make the stop. The place was empty which was nice since normally during the day it is bustling with people. It had been a very long time since I'd been in a Pret so I forgot what all the options were. It took me a second to look through all the prepared items. However, one of the workers was restocking the chips in the basket below the fridges and had no intentions of moving so I could look at the items in the case which I thought was a bit rude. read more

Such a creative menu and healthy ingredients. They are friendly and lots of sit down options. While the Christmas nut roast is in my opinion Nuts, Vegans will rejoice. read more

Pret A Manger - Holiday Nut Roast with Sage stuffing and winter squash - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

This super busy Pret is located right across the street from the famous Marble Arch. The queue ("line" in American) can back up as much as five minutes, but they move it as quickly as possible. (They really need an 'express' line for not buying coffees, but whatever.) Fantabulous sandwiches. I really love the Mozzarella Pesto Bloomer, which arrives on 7 grain bread with sliced tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. Or if you want meat, try the Swedish Meatball Ragu Hot Wrap. Both are amazing with crisps ("potato chips) and I love the sweet potato if you can find them. Since it's such a small location, there is also an upstairs balcony with tables and booths. They do have free wi-fi, but there are no accessible power outlets. read more

This was my first acquaintance with the Pret a Manger chain, and I can see why its popular. It was a convenient stop to get a little bit of fresh fruit or snacks or coffee. I also liked that it stays open a bit late - I think it closes at 10pm - which was really helpful for me in dealing with jetlag and getting hungry at odd times. Service was very quick since many items are self serve read more

I had the Pole & Line Caught Tuna Mayo & Cucumber (£2.99) sandwich with Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar chips (£0.99). This little tasty combination hit the spot. The tuna was fantastic -- the right amount of mayo, an appropriate level of fishiness, the perfect consistency AND the fresh cucumbers provided great texture contrast along with the nice soft baguette. Coupled with the chips, I was in sandwich heaven. SO GOOOD. My taste buds were jumping so much that decided to order an Original Frappe (£3.25) which I could have passed. It was good but not extremely exciting (a bit too creamy and not frozen/icy enough for my liking). read more

The website marketing branding looked savvy and welcoming; the location couldn't be better. I entered thinking this would be a treat in a busy area full of low-class KofF, McDs and Taco Bell. Oh, how wrong I was. Nothing seems to be served here unless it comes prewrapped and made somewhere else the day before. I got the feeling the store received one shipment each day in the morning, because by early afternoon, few sandwiches remained. My American stomach wasn't in the mood to try Wild Crayfish & Rocket or Scottish Beef & Roasted Onions Bloomer (this is the UK after all), so I opted for something that I thought was basic--a "sausage" sandwich that featured a slice of cheese and a grey patty of indeterminate sausage meat. Anyway, what really got me was the two-tiered pricing structure: the takeaway price and an eat-in price. Americans, be forewarned: drinks are not routinely refrigerated. If you grab a soda, it will probably be room temperature or slightly chilled. Another negative: this location seemed gritty. The second floor is where most of the seating is, and feels disconnected with the rest of the restaurant. I wouldn't be lying if I felt like I had to clutch my wallet at all times whilst in here. read more

Pret A Manger - January 2011 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

Don't visit on a weekday morning (0655). You'll be met with nice coffee but extremely rude, obnoxious customer service.

It's like the combination of Starbucks and Wholefoods but better than either by a lot. They use high quality ingredients and a lot of the dishes are gluten free or vegetarian. Everything tastes super fresh and flavorful. You can pick the premade stuff from the shelves and order your drinks from the counter. We got some crisps (chips), chicken soup, tuna melt and ginger beer. We enjoyed everything we ordered, even the ginger beer tastes refreshing. The price is reasonable. Dinner for two cost 10 pounds. I love this reliable and consistent fast food place. read more

Staying in a hotel this week and wanted to grab a quick bite before heading off on our adventures. I'm so glad that we found this place. Great food. The atmosphere was welcoming and calming. Great place for a quick meal. read more

As a typical Canadian, it can be a little difficult to deal with the less-than-friendly service that seems abundant within London. So finding a place that's friendly is a bit difficult. Finding a place that's consistently friendly, always smiles and is delicious? Deserves a Yelp review! I've noticed that, generally speaking, the entire Pret A Manger chain is fairly consistent in its quality, friendliness, and speed of service. But the Marble Arch branch here stands apart. Only this place seems to have the warmest and melt-in-your-mouth'iest croissants. The staff are prompt, patient (so many coins to choose from!) and consistently very friendly. Honestly I'd imagine that this has something to do with hiring and management, because at an area as busy as Marble Arch filled with sometimes-dense tourists like me, I am impressed that they're that consistently good. read more

This Pret A Manger location was my first, but definitely not my last. We ate at this location twice and I loved the convenience, speediness, affordability, quality and the selection. You grab and go freshly made sandwiches, drinks, chips, pay at the counter and take away or find a seat if you're lucky. This location has a few stools at the window and a small area upstairs. We were lucky to snag the last table at this very crowded and busy location across from the Marble Arch. We also had their tomato basil soup, which was hot and tasty, perfect for someone who was raging sick on the first day of her European vacation (me). I had the chicken and rocket and DK had a warm wrap. Both were scarfed down in minutes. We came back later in the day to buy bottles of water and some fruit for our early departure from London the next morning. read more

I love Pret and I eat at one every time I'm in London. On this trip I got lucky and my hotel was right around the corner from this Pret. I got breakfast here everyday : yogurt with granola and fruit spread, a chocolate croissant, and a cup of English Breakfast Tea. It was perfect! The staff was friendly every day I visited. Service was quick. The croissants were warm and tasted very fresh. I really wish Pret would spread in the States. They could really put a dent in Starbucks. read more

One of my favourite Pret as it opens til late everyday and it makes a perfect pit stop before/after hitting shopping right outside Marble Arch tube station. I love their hot toasties as the tuna melt (just ask them to not over heat it as they often burn it) Plenty of choices for any time of the day at a moderate price. read more

Very rude and incompetent staff , specially the ones at the register . They treat people like they are stupid .

Pret A Manager is a common site in London. Very convenient, high quality food at reasonable prices. Had the teriyaki salmon salad with edamame and pickled vegetables for only 4.85 GBP. Teriyaki sauce is provided on the side. It's very sweet but everything is so tasty only a small amount of sauce is needed. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in London, it is a must if you want to eat snacks or light meals, I like their coffee especially their cappuccino and espresso. Regarding their food it is a must to try their mozzarella and tomato croissant read more

Well, they're listed as being open until midnight. At 11:05pm they were clearly closed and cleaning. I asked the staff if there were any other branches still open and they just kept saying, "No man, we're closed." Right. Not the question. And then they laughed at me as if I was too stupid to comprehend them being closed. Well, that made me feel extra great. Piss off, PAM on Oxford Street. read more

Oh man they're just everywhere aren't theyyou cant walk ten paces in London without crashing into a Pret, and sure it's helpful when you're in a rush and don't have the time or mental capacity to think about what you might like to eat for lunch today, but really, enough is enough. Sure the brownies are amazing, but that doesn't make up for the frankly poor range of sandwich fillings and the overuse of mayonaise in said sandwiches. read more

This Pret is really clean! I like their healthy food and delicious lattes. I appreciate their kind and sincere service. Especially Bruce who had such a friendly and outgoing attitude. read more

Totally incompetent. Waited 10 minutes for a hot chocolate and the guy that was putting my order together looked like he was just stalling so that he didn't have to work, then he just walked away! I had to ask his co-worker what was going on, then they gave me my order and forgot to charge me for it (because of course the guy was supposed to charge me but he just walked away). Of course I paid, but this is by far the worst Pret I've been to in the world (NY, HK and London). read more
