Pret A Manger

Had a salad here and it wasn’t anything special or unique to me. The portion of the salad was really good, but I’ve had better.

Perfect option for a quick and fresh lunch. Pre-​made sandwiches, soups, salads, and snacks are ideal to grab and go. Also serving coffee and tea drinks. Enjoy your meal to-​go at the courtyard by the NY Public library. Great service and commitment to sustainability.

I started with a small, Grain, avocado, egg, spinach, & tomato bowl. Which was very good,
I then had the chicken noodle soup. It had Tender chicken (Antibiotic Free) diced carrots edamame celeryonions mafalda noodles chicken stock sea salt spices. That too was very good.
I finished the meal with roasted beets, sweet pea hummus, parmesan shavings, arugula, and a touch of mint on a freshly baked artisan baguette. The beets gave a great flavor.
I first discovered Pret A Manager when I was in London and ate there most days for lunch. I also realized that they were in the USA when I found one In DC. They are a chain of restaurants that serve fresh and healthy food. This Resturant lived up to my expectations.

Good location to meet up with friends. It is not crowded as Starbucks around the area and has nice bakery section. The only thing that made me uncomfortable was their filthy bathrooms. I am just weary of the places with dirty bathrooms in general.

This is a very clean Pret-​A-​Manger. This location is also the location used to hire employees. So if you’re looking for a job, fresh food, and good coffee, you should really go to this Pret-​A-​Manger! Also this Pret-​A-​Manger has one of the cleanest bathrooms on 42^nd Street!

Do you like really loud music first thing in the morning? Well, then, this is the place for you. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to get them to look at who the customers are at 7:30am during the week and answer ‘do these people look like they want loud, mostly bubblegum, music, blaring at them?
The sad part is that the service is great, the staff mostly friendly and it’s convenient. I’ll be looking for another morning coffee shop if the music situation isn’t fixed.

Every business is only as good as their worst employee. I’ve been here MANY times and always had great experiences. A free coffee really does make your day :)

I walked in after a long walk around the city. I grabbed a grilled chicken sandwich and ordered an iced mocha. Service was fast considering there were quite few people. I absolutely loved the sandwich. It did taste fresh… It couldn’t be old anyways, I could taste that fresh avacado in there. My iced mocha was just as amazing as my food. I did not know a chain can serve this delicious food and focus on customer service same time. Totally going to this place next time I am around !

Decent coffee, good selection of pre-​made breakfast sandwiches, pastries, etc… Excellent service at the counter. Better than a Starbucks or most chain shops.

ok coffee. both bathrooms were broken when we were here. make sure u get the bathroom code before you walk back.

Love, love, love the cake here. Banana or carrot cake from this place make me so ecstatic. It’s fascinating to have a place that serves the best premade sandwiches and delicious desserts. I simply enjoy being in this modern café not only for the tasty eats but because most times the employees are kind and welcoming.

Late night thoughts…
This place is like ok… i guess… being around time square hunger you just something fast and convent…
The sandwiches and wraps are all from the fridge… nothing is made fresh… With so many good reviews this was disappointing… as even global chains such as Subway prepares them fresh… I had the fish sandwich which was fine… but the bread was so soggy and wet… tasted as it been sitting there for day… as expected… not fresh!

Sandwiches on a 9 grain whole wheat bread. Yes! I am not big fan of breads on hero bread. I discovered a pret a manger in the autumn on 42^nd street while lagging a work items. The menu changes in the spring/​summer. In the autumn and winter the cranberry chicken salad sandwich is a joy. It has a nice savory sweet taste. In the summer time, spicy shrimp cilantro wrap is yummy. Overall, this place is nostalgic of living in England. The ginger beer/​ale is perfect for year round!

I love pret! It’s quick and probably one of the healthier lunches available so conveniently. I love love loooove the goat cheese/​squash/​quinoa wrap. Sounds like a lot going on but worth a try. The staff is always so quick and friendly. They’ll warm up your food even more if you’d like!

I am a huge fan of this location! But so far most of the chain stores I’ve been to had great service. They definitely go above and beyond here.
There is always a line, but don’t pret, it’ll only be a matter of minutes to get to the register. They have a system here for getting people in and out, and they do it so effortlessly.
They do not have any vegan desserts but won’t hold it against them. I’d like to add that I love getting my Americano or soy latte here, it’s definitely a better price point than the Starbucks around the corner.

Affordable, tasty and good portioned salads available althrough to the day. People behind the counter are super friendly despite the sheer volume of customers they have. Try my favorite — chicken avocado salad. Surprisingly, there’s always a seat available anytime during the day. Probably because people would rather take their food and eat at Bryant park.

I love the energy bagel ;its a best seller :).Their coffee is organic and delicious Also the customer service is over the top and very courteous !
I lost my wallet there with all my credits cards and Janilsa put it aside for me !!!

Although I’m never quite satisfied after a meal at Pret A Manger (I get hungry well before dinner!), the convenience of its pre-​made, grab and go selections makes me visit this lunch place quite often.
Pret creates has a wide selection of salad, wraps, sandwiches, and baguettes that have been handmade earlier in the day. I usually go for the salads, and have tried the Chicken Avocado Salad, Falafel Mezze Salad, and Southwestern Chicken & Avocado Power Lunch.
The Chicken Avocado Salad is your standard chargrilled chicken, sliced half avocado, baby tomatoes, cranberries, and walnuts over a bed of mesclun. Nothing too exciting, but I really like the combination sweet cranberries, crunchy walnuts, creamy avocado, and juicy chicken! I really like all the layers and textures in the salad.
The Falafel Mezze Salad includes ~5 pieces of oval shaped falafel balls, hummus topped with pomegranate seeds, roasted beets, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and mint over a bed of mesclun. I disliked the cold falafel balls — these are best served hot, straight out from the fryer! The pomegranate seeds in the hummus really elevated the flavor and the texture.
Finally, the Southwestern Chicken & Avocado Power Lunch has the similar juicy char grilled chicken and creamy avocado as the chicken salad, with an addition of roasted corn salsa, cilantro, and a wedge of lime topped on mixed lentils and quinoa.
I guess the reason I get hungry after Pret lunch is that I order salad :)

Oh Glorious Pret! I wish there was one of you in my city.
This little gem was a wonderful find on my recent NYC trip. We ended up going 5 times to 3 separate locations. Its quick, easy, and everywhere. Everything is pre-​made so you only have to wait in line to pay.
This place provides a tasty, organic and responsible meal on the cheap. Made today, gone today. I love that they recycle and don’t waste, everything left at the end of the day is donated.
I have had lunch items, breakfast items and coffee from Pret and all were delicious. My favorite was the brie and tomato sandwich. They also have little deserts like brownies, the perfect sweet treat to end your meal.

Was looking for a quick, healthy lunch and this was surprisingly less expensive than a lot of similar places — a big salad with chicken, an entire half avocado, walnuts, and skinny honey dijon dressing (really good and natural) for $ 9.99.
I also got a regular iced Americano for $ 1.99 — not bad or great, but cheaper than Starbucks. Good deal overall.
