PRET: only good if you are at an airport.
So, this one fits the bill at my beloved LCY. Here's the thing, the first time you try Pret you are all like "wow, this shit is excellent! Where have you been all my life!?" And then you eat that crab pot or some duck hoisin wrap approximately 342x after that and the honeymoon is over, it's not that good. Also, I'm sorry -- their coffee is THE WORST. Like drinking stale cigarette water, no joke.
It's totally fine for food and sparkling water and stuff like that. At an airport.
This particular one is BEFORE security at LCY (if you are departing) -- and it's a good bet to grab some (non liquid) snacks before heading in because the options inside are pretty lacking (Panopolis I shake my head at you feverishly). Also, if you are landing it's the first thing you see as you exit customs (well, that and 52 private drivers with dry erase boards). It's fine for that, too if you need a quick bite before braving the commute home.
It is not fine when there are any other options like in a real city. At an airport, Ok. Trust me guys, it's the truth. There are better places to eat, but not usually at an airport -- so 3 stars. read more
