    They tried to act like I made up the hair THEY put in MY food. Someone call OSHA bc wtf
    Brittany Z. M.

    *Follow up- they didn't even refund the money. They don't answer the phone. Now I will likely have to waste my own resources to go down there again to get my money back. Throw the whole shop away. There was a nasty hair in my Broccoli quiche. Now I'm hungry and grossed out. Now I would've let it go and just told close friends if the women I notified of this issue didn't act like I made it up, and take the 2.99 brownie back because she said "you already had one." As if salt & vinegar chips, green juice, and the micro brownie will sustain me during the backbreaking work I have to do on my patients this afternoon. I'm a healthcare worker. Were burnt out. I need the sustenance to take care of y'all, but the brownie was asking for too much... You put hair in my quiche and I had to miss my entire lunch going back and forth from work to try and rectify this. Giving me an extra 1x1sq in. brownie that was 2.99, was not going to ruin your day- not nearly as much as you ruined my afternoon. It was super cold outside so I decided to treat myself and buy a warm, mini broccoli cheddar & chive mini quiche, to carry me through the day. The prices were never cheap, but they're disrespectfully insane now, so I try to avoid this place, but I thought, one time couldn't hurt. I was wrong. I buy it, excited about what's about to go down in my tummy's block party. I walk all the way back to work take the elevator downstairs, take off my winter clothes, wash my hands, clean my eating place, open my cutlery, and then my quiche, ready to DIG IN. I look down and see about 3in. of NASTY, partially embedded in the cheese, so you know it was baked in. My whole heart broke. I was STARVING. Now I'm wondering who prepared my food with their hair all over the place? This isn't your home. At work you take extra precautions. Where is OSHA where you need them?! BLOWN. I pack the food back in. Put all my stuff back on, bring my gloves this time, walk back UP the stairs (elevator only currently goes down), go back up the street and stare at the long line. My lunch has already been robbed. If I have to go elsewhere I have about 2 smooth minutes to make it happen so I walk up the manager (?), a south Asian woman, and tell her what happens, a Black (I think west African) woman comes up like Big baby Dee, starts digging in the quiche with her bare hands (I bet she didn't wash them afterward) and declares, "I DONT SEE A HAIR. WHERE DO YOU SEE A HAIR?!" This is why you take pics beforehand, bc with you rummaging around like a toddler, how can we see anything?? It's a hair, not a yacht. Peep the attached pic. She'd stormed off with the quiche by then, so I zoomed in for the manager to see, and then she offered the refund and something else to eat- thanks but, after THAT?? Ewwwww. No thank you. I'll take something sealed tho. So I opted for the small chips, a drink, and a little brownie bc I know I'll enjoy the brownie, since I purchased one earlier. Now granted, she refunds everything, including my brownie, but ma'am BFR. If I initially purchased a MEAL, and then get downgraded to chips and a drink, don't you think the LEAST you could've done is let me have the brownie since it's so tiny and the cheapest thing in the store?? She told me, YOU ALREADY HAD A BROWNIE." SO?? Why are you being petty and acting like I'm stealing from you when I was the one who was robbed of time, energy and you tried with my dignity, when you both tried to pretend I fabricated it. ZOOM IN. Don't you see that hair baked under that cheese in many places?? It is woven in- but you're actin like I wronged you. You should be too embarrassed to worry about being stingy with a 2.99 brownie. Thank you for showing me what your company stands for. You did yourselves proud.

    I got chocolate croissant. It was not as crispy as it was before and got latte. The prices are a bit expensive. The cafe is neat and clean. Location is great. Service was fast.

    Stopped in to get food to go for our flight back to San Diego. Convenient but expensive. Didn't try the food yet but will update the review once back in San Diego.

    This review is specifically about the veggie sandwich. $9 for two pieces of bread, 3 slices of cucumber, some arugula, and 2 spoonfuls (maybe less) of avocado? Really? Pret can do better. The avocado did not even cover 1/3rd of the bread. Very annoying. (But the lentil soup is good).

    At 7:30 am this restaurant was buzzing with customers. I knew that the day ahead of me was going to be a long day, so I wanted to get a fast breakfast which may be my only meal until late afternoon. When I came in there was already a small line of customers waiting to order. They had a couple of breakfast sandwiches already prepared and heated in the case so I pocked-up the Bacon Egg & Cheddar. Then I ordered a regular sized Chai Latte at the counter. It was ready a few minutes later,and I took a seat and began to go thru my work emails. I had a nice experience, and the restaurant is quite spacious with plenty of space to sit and move around. The various breakfast and lunch options that they offer here along with a great assortment of coffee and smoothie drinks, is what I like most about this restaurant.

    I don't Pret-end to like Pret, I just like it, can you blame me? The sandwiches are actually good and they give the leftovers to the homeless, I've been told and heard many times. There are a slew of sandwich shops in Washington DC and ironically, in an overrated sandwich city, Pret actually have better sandwiches and most of the popular places. This one is totally palatial and huge and a really nice place to hang out, and as usual products are good and service isn't bad either, and you have to love that they give their leftover food to homeless people.

    I was just here and some of the staff are friendly but the place is not clean, the person who came out with my drink (with scarf on head in picture) was so rude and berated me in front of other customers for having airpods on.... I didn't have any music playing at all, and she was actually speaking very quietly for a loud place so I didn't hear her say my drink name. Anyway.... not a place I'd go unless desperate for food or coffee quick

It was Friday early afternoon. She immediately greeted me as soon as I walked in and then went over all their options with me. They do open face sandwiches but she said any can be made into a regular sandwich. She gave me recommendations as well. I decided to go with the chicken open face sandwich but as a regular sandwich and the sea salt caramel latte to go. The latte was really good and was not weak. I ate the sandwich when I got home and it was also very good. The chicken and sumac onions were delicious! The place has plenty seating if you want to just work and drink coffee or order full meals with friends. There is also a good size patio in the front. It's definitely a nice addition to the area.

The coffee was for sure a stand out. We each got the espresso with whipped cream. Heads up, for a coffee focused place the cream was definitely out of a can. But the coffee itself was amazing. For food we got a pistachio beignet, and a chocolate and pistachio croissant. The beignet is definitely not a beignet- it was a bit more bread like, though it still tasted good. And the pistachio cream, though delicious, was so runny. The croissant was good but also had the same pistachio cream issue. It dripped out. For food I had the bacon flaming tart, which tasted amazing! One thing to note- the menu says capers, but it's scallions. That was a welcomed error, since I love scallions! We also got drinks, and I enjoyed my pistachio beverage. Overall, I'd say out of the options nearest the zoo, this is one of the best.

The restaurant is super cute, with a fun cafe vibe, and it's an easy walk from the waterfront. We ordered the Colada Trio, which came with empanadas, cauliflower sliders, and yuca fries. Everything was delicious, and it came with three different sauces that were honestly all so good. I could've eaten those sauces with everything. We also ordered the Platanachos (plantain nachos), which were flavorful and such a fun twist on traditional nachos. They accidentally forgot the cauliflower and mushroom topping, but as soon as I mentioned it, they brought it out right away along with extra sauce. Mistakes happen, but what matters is how a place handles them, and they were incredibly accommodating, which I really appreciated. It was pretty busy when we visited, and I noticed who I believe was the manager or owner helping clean tables and checking on guests. I always love seeing that kind of hands-on involvement. Great food, friendly service, and an awesome location if you're exploring the Wharf. I'd definitely recommend stopping by!

I don't typically go for counter service or QR code service restaurants, but stopped in for a quick bite before a concert at the Anthem. The Cuban sandwich is legit and very tasty with tender pork, soft fresh bread with a crunchy crust, and great pickles. And the stewed plantains were perfectly tender with a caramel like sweetness. Probably the nicest surprise was their reasonably priced cocktails that have a Cuban flair. The happy hour options are very tasty.

As someone who works in the industry and is very familiar with coffee and coffee shops, I was genuinely shocked by how rude and unprofessional the staff was. I ordered a house latte with an extra double shot, which made it a quad shot, and I also paid for extra ice and requested that it be served in a large cup. It wasn't a complicated order. When I saw a drink come up, I politely asked, "Is that mine by any chance?" The barista immediately told me to "hush" and said, "I'm not talking to you." I found that incredibly disrespectful and completely unacceptable. When my drink was finally handed to me, I simply asked if the quad shot had been added since I had paid extra for it. Instead of answering my question, the barista ignored me entirely, and another employee had to respond. The employee, Taleisha Young, who was wearing glasses, was especially rude throughout the interaction. No customer should be spoken to that way, especially when they're simply asking about an order they paid extra to customize. Customer service and professionalism should be a priority, and this experience fell far below that standard. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and I will be sharing my experience on other review platforms as well. I hope management addresses the behavior of its staff so other customers don't have a similar experience.
