I have walked by here so many times and did not even realize this place existed. I haven't seen one of these since my overseas trip years ago. So I know what they have to offer. One thing I forgot was how expensive they can be. I went to the prepared section to grab a bite to eat so I could head back to my office quickly. There wasn't much to choose from. I wasn't in the mood for something cold, so I went and looked over the hot items. There wasn't much to select from. I ended up getting a chicken parm wrap. It wasn't horrible, but definitely not something I would get again. I could have swore there were red peppers in it instead of tomatoes. Staff were super quick and polite. It is a bit hard to hear them as this sits at a busy spot in Union Station. They had to repeat themselves a few times for me to understand. read more

I got to the station trying to find a quick breakfast option- stopped through a few places and wasn't feeling it and about to give up. I'm glad I walked a bit further (past the pizza place- it's 915am, pizza is a little too early) and found pret. I swiped the egg white Greek frittata and I thought it was fairly priced (roughly $7 and change- Jan 2025). It was in their warming section thankfully the frittata was warm. The frittata itself was fluffy - so glad it wasn't salty like some other egg options I've picked up at other places. I was in and out in under 5 minutes. read more

Grabbed a quick cappuccino from Pret at Union Station before my train. The coffee was fine, the staff was friendly, and it was quick to get my coffee. Definitely a good option at the train station! read more

The baristas here are super friendly and top notch. The lines get pretty crazy but they do a great job attending to people quickly. The food is actually pretty decent but the prices are high for the amount you get. Overall, a decent choice for the limited dining options in Union Station. read more

This is my go-to quick spot in union station for food. They have a good selecting of items ready to grab (hot and cold sandwiches, salads, cups of fruit, chips, etc) and they have an adequate selection of baked goods (my favorite are the brownie bites). There is also plenty for nonmeat eaters. It's usually quick to pay and the service has been fine too. There's some seating if you're so inclined but you won't get any peace and quiet. read more

This is a really good Pret location. Clean. The usual good, fresh Pret food. And maybe even more importantly - friendly, efficient, GOOD customer service! read more

This is a great grab & go option at Union Station. The prices are reasonable & I was pleasantly surprised by the options and quality. I got a simple, warm ham & cheese croissant and was completely satisfied with it. read more

Angry, controlling, and weirdly aggressive cashier girl. Smarmy and smirky. NOT cut out for customer service. Getting into a pissing match over a sandwich is not normal, but happens here. Between her and the guy ahead of me, then with her and me over a totally different but equally weird transaction. Wow. Too many other choices... in... the Amtrak Station! read more

Their coffee is listed as $4 for a large. But it appears they charge you $4.25, but you don't notice because the screen goes immediately to the post tax total. This is stealing, plain and simple. read more

A wonderful place to buy healthy fast food in the Amtrak Union Station. They have an amazing array of both hot and cold food that can be carried out or eaten in the restaurant. Everything is very fresh and delicious. Handicap friendly. read more

I do reviews alot some good sosome not so good. This location at union Station not so good. Small and service not good. I asked the server twice if the app works here and she could not understand, kept offering items to buy. I did have the oatmeal it was good. Not sure if I'll come back to the location. read more

I paid for a sandwich with a credit card at the counter and noticed on my receipt that I was charged a 20% tip. That certainly wasn't something I'd intended. read more

Rushing from a train to work can leave little time for browsing yummy things to grab on the way. Even more challenging is scouring the shelves in the numerous venues for anything that is portable and healthy to the work desk, jobsite, or next transportation vehicle. "Convenience" is part of the language that Pret a Manger ( Pret a mangay - took me years to say it all Frenchie) wants to speak to us. They are located right at the corner of the foot traffic that flows through the station from every direction. The cheerfully lit shelves quickly clear of the continuous fresh products (salads, sandwiches, oatmeal, wraps, yogurts, fruits, etc.) stocked throughout the day. The hardest part of selecting the item to enjoy because they all look so good. It's nice to try something new from each visit to get the through the standard selection that they carry. They keep it consistently fresh and nothing gets stored overnight. I'm hooked on the Greek yogurt with fruit. I will pair it with a juice or coffee that they have a good selection of as well. Their baked goods are minimal and just right to appeal to a random crowd. The bagels sit near the cookies and you see them when you reach the counter, so you have to make a impulsive decision within seconds. The check out process moves FAST. They get you in and out to your next destination. Plus the space is small and there's always a dance with people moving to get out of the way of one another. If you want to sit, there are counters and tables to sit at which makes it nice. You can watch the hustle and bustle of travelers and commuters dodge the homeless stragglers that float around wanting to grab your bag of food out of your hand. (Pretty annoying- DC food is not cheap). If you want a healthy and cheerful way to start your day in the DC Union station, this would be the place compared to others that seem less energetic/efficient, although busy. Give it a try! read more

Got the balance meal for my train trip home. It had chicken, avocado, spinach, grain mixed, black beans, charred corn, red cabbage slaw and chili rings dressing. This was the first time I tried their balance meals and didn't know what to expect. It was okay and better than what I could of bought on the train. The dressing was hot and spicy, but used in moderation it was good. The grain mixture was the best part of the salad, it had brown rice, red quinoa and chickpeas. The rest of the ingredients didn't bring any flavor to the salad. The restaurant was like all Pret locations, they were courteous and efficient. The one thing about this chain, they maintain a consistency across all their locations. read more

8/11/21 Another business in Union Station that has been closed due to The Coronavirus Pandemic and its mutated virus called The Delta Variant. This was the first business I saw effected by this unpopular virus. I quickly found many other businesses in Union Station to either be temporally closed down, or permanently shutdown. I have eaten here one time before. The name of this business is not my favorite, but the food is good. I hope things change for the better. read more

This place can be PACKED since it's in Union Station but the line moves pretty fast and their oatmeal is pretty good with a cup of coffee for a quick breakfast. An added plus is if you can get a seat here while you eat, that's less time you have to spend at the train boarding area. read more

Pret A Manger - Brown Sugar Oatmeal - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Very veg friendly "grab-n-go" place at the Union Station with fresh and tasty sandwiches, salads, and fruit cups. Though the prices are inline with other good establishments at Union Station, they strike you as high for some of the items, especially small salads, fruit cups, and their warm sandwiches. What I like the most about them is that they vary their selections and the checkout is very friendly and lightening quick; exactly what you want at a train station. If you are keeping an eye on salt, some of their sandwiches (I only tried the veggie options) can be salty. Go with salads or cold sandwiches instead. It bothered me a bit that they have not made the nutritional information on their items easily available. Well I guess it's on their website.... read more

This is my favorite place at Union Station to grab a quick bite to eat. They have great coffee, fabulous croissants and a great selection of healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner options. There's limited seating, but it's possible to grab a bite and sit while you enjoy your coffee or sandwich. If you have time and the weather is nice, you may want to grab something to eat here and walk out to the senate gardens for a more scenic dining experience! read more

I'm so glad there's a Pret location inside of Union Station! Their food is perfect for someone on the go. Catching a train or a bus? You have to stop by!! They have soups, salads, sandwiches and wide array of their own branded drinks-including a cucumber seltzer. It's one of my faves. Today I opted for the Little Cup of Goodness (see the pic for a full description). Perfect portion. So full of flavor. $5 well spent!!! read more

I have to give a special shout out to the folks at Pret. I was in the station at 6am headed out of town. I decided to grab a veggie wrap which is so delicious, reasonably priced, and not high in calories when this mentally ill person followed me into the store and wouldn't leave me alone. They got him away from me and out the store. I was genuinely freaked out so I really appreciated them. Even beyond that their customer service was on point. They were really friendly and helpful. Thanks so much! Update!!! I went there on Sunday and the associate, Melissa, was awesome!!! She was so helpful and nice. Additionally, I tried the carrot cake cookie. If you have the opportunity, try it. It is sooooo good. I love this pret store. They never let me down. The food is delicious and healthy and they always have a nice selection. read more

Overall I think this place is awesome, it's really a 4.5/5. So many options for soups, salads, sandwiches, chips, pastries, coffee, etc. I mostly go come here when I'm craving junk food and then come to my senses to have something sensible, and end up with a sandwich or salad. I definitely like their spin on flavors, and everything is always fresh. The avocado in their sandwiches doesn't even turn by the time it's sold and I'm eating it. They even post all the nutritional facts in front of the product so there is no guesswork, and I can make a good decision. Lines don't exist, I've never had to wait more than a minute or two to checkout; the hardest part is always figuring out what to eat. Seating is usually available even when busy because people get up and go. I'm not into the coffee and deserts so I can't comment on those, but what I have eaten I consider to be tasty and a healthier option an most other places. Only negative I find is the price is more expensive than similar options at other places, but you get what you pay for. Great place to eat, go there! read more

I love Pret in the UK, so much so, I have looked up the menu's of the Pret's around the globe to see what they have elsewhere (HK so far looks the best to me!). Anyway, came across this one at Union St, imagine my delight when I saw a 'Buffalo Chicken wrap with Frank's Hot sauce'!! !! I LOVE Frank's hot sauce!! So of course I tried it. It was pretty nice, tasted as described on the wrapper; didn't blow my mind but it was pretty tasty! This Pret also has Gazpacho, looks nice for the hot summer days....alas...UK summers are not hot enough, but I would still like to see Gazpacho on the menu's here in London!! CAN YOU HEAR ME PRET A MANGER??!! Overall, another lovely Pret with a nice variety of sandwiches/wraps etc.. can't go wrong really! read more

Blitzkrieg fast and tasty to-go food in Union Station, this is my go-to lunch place. It's not that I'm in such a hurry at noon, but it's a real treat how easy it is to get food from here, always a smile at checkout and no hassle at all. Pret a Manger offers cold and hot sammiches with veg or animal protein, large and small soups in containers ready do go, large and small salads, whatever you want. Uh, unless you want to custom order, that only works for coffee. Pick what you want from the hot or cold rack and don't forget to grab a free roll. Vegetarian rating: 4 stars, there are cold veg wraps, hot veg sandwiches, veg soup and veg salad. I'm especially a fan of the little quinoa cup, topped generously with egg, avocado and greens. Not cheap at $4 but yummy. The Pret checkout has about 8 people ready to take your money. To-go only, no tables and chairs here. read more

Great sandwiches, always fresh, keeping it simple. Totally reminds of all the sandwiches in England. They are high quality too. Always such great combinations, too. It's a little pricey, but it's an upmarket joint, so nobody can be surprised by that. Yesterday I had their Chicken and Avocado sandwich... solid. read more

This is just about as good as it gets in a train station. This place has healthy options offering fresh juices and even better fresh made wraps with herbs. The people working there were nice and friendly and the food is great here. We got 4 different juices, water and a sandwich all for under $40. I actually think I would come here even if I wasn't traveling. read more

At first, I was mystified by why all of my coworkers pick up their lunch from here. Sandwiches are just not that exciting to me, and a triangle-sized half sandwich costs a hefty $4. I'm starting to come around though, for approximately 3 reasons. First, it's tasty (and filling)! Maybe this is because almost every sandwich has avocado, but I was surprised to find myself enjoying my sandwich, and actually staying full through the day (though I honestly don't know how a triangle half-sandwich would keep you full). Also, they donate their old sandwiches at the end of the day, so you always know you're getting a sandwich that was made the same day. Second, it's fast! The location is next to the metro entrance (no detour needed), and Pret usually has 4 cashiers during the lunch hour, so I've never had more than 1 person in front of me. Also, most places in Union Station have a made-to-order philosophy, and while I appreciate when a meal is made right in front of me, it also slows things down. Especially during the lunch rush hour. So it's nice to go to Pret and quickly pick out a fresh sandwich that I know was made that morning. Third, freebies! Sometimes, they'll have freebie samples by the cash registers (mini-soups and sandwiches), and if you go there often enough, they'll give you a free coffee once in a while. Actually, once, they gave me a free sandwich! To summarize, the food is decent, but the reason I go here is for the convenience. read more

I went to purchase a breakfast sandwich, but the cashier rang it up at fifty cents more the the sign said. When I mentioned this she said her price was correct. We went over to where the price sign was; she looked at the back and said it was an old sign, then removed both that sign and another. She said she would not sell it to me at the advertised price. That is deceptive. Who knows how many people are distracted and not paying attention to them charging a higher price than what is prominently displayed. Thankfully, since there are many other eating options in Union Station, I got my food elsewhere. If you patronize this place, be sure to watch that they don't overcharge you because the staff don't seem to understand the concept of false advertising. read more

One of my go-to places in Union Station when I'm in a hurry. Fresh, healthy, quick service food at decent prices. I usually get the tuna salad or the seasonal lobster salad (yes! Maine lobster claw, whole avocado, small dice of onion and orange) because they are tasty and gluten free. I've tried the falafel salad; it has couscous, and unfortunately they don't prepare salads without it. The strawberry lemonade is also delicious, a nice balance of tart and sweet. I am particularly impressed by the fast, friendly service at this location. One cashier was patiently assisting a very large family with a clear language barrier. After I told the woman who helped me that I'd be eating my salad on the train, she carefully tucked the salad dressing and napkins under the cardboard wrapper surrounding the container. It was a simple gesture that kept me from having to juggle lots of items that really touched me. They recently renovated the space, and there are cosy seats along the side of the space, making this also a good option if you have some extra time before your train. read more
