Pret A Manger in Oxford

Seating upstairs although usually still lucky to get a seat

Great sandwich well worth the £5! I love you Prêt and your reliability. Pictured is the new Lebanese Chicken Wrap, which I got to takeaway, but I also recommend the Posh Pickle Baguette! Both very good.

I requested a Cappuccino with vanilla, but to be honest it doesn't taste like it has vanilla, is too simple even with sugar. The vibe of the place is not that good.

Once was good. Not good no more cold coffe rude staff and managers

Food is always fresh and delicious Coffee is ok.

Good food, good coffee but I beg u fix your tables! Just moved from table - unsteady,to another table - also unsteady, and that caused me losing half of my coffee!

Poor customer service,not helpfull...

At the back there is a nice area to sit and chill, also a floor up, the service was okaish, looked like they were overwhelmed and not happy with each other, coffee was ok, not sure why they serve in normal foam cups with small sizes compared to their competition that give strong cups with double the size

Good food and friendly services. But you can rarely get a seat to sit down as it's full of people on laptops (mainly students), a lot of whom have not brought anything or have brough food and drink from elsewhere. And who stay for hours, table blocking. This really puts me off coming here, as paying customers who want to sit in to eat and drink can't!!!!

Fancied a bite too eat and wanted a nice sandwich , opted for a hoisin duck wrap , looked lovely. It would of been nice if it had some duck in it!! Full of lettuce and cucumber ! With a slither of duck , very disappointing at £5 a wrap

All I want to say is wow. Virgina is such a great worker and makes good coffee and amazing coconut milk hot chocolates 😊❤️

During our visit on 23rd December 2023 to Oxford, Atmed went above and beyond by making an extra chocolate milk for my daughter, ensuring a delightful experience. This is not the first time; my dad, who is on a wheelchair, had a similarly great experience during the summer. Kudos to Atmed and the team for their outstanding service!

Friendly staff , specially Mohsen

Poor, this Pret was empty for a reason. Over priced and no subscription among a host of other food outlets, walk in walk out no returns.

Crowded and busy, however, the service was reasonably quick under the circumstances at lunch time.

One of the most iconic buildings in oxford. That you can see from the inside .Really friendly staff I love the matcha with coconut rice milk warm that they always prepare for me.. And the wrap 🌯 of halloumi cheese and falafel best vegetarian . Or salmon and egg breakfast half baguette delicious..

This Pret is in an old half timbered building and has lots of angles and nooks so is cozy. There is the usual range of Pret food. You help yourself as you walk in and then go to the tills to pay and order hot drinks. Throughout is quick; quality is good and you can get sone healthy food. The felafel salad with rice snd hummus is a favourite of mine. We were seated at the top near the toilet and everyone struggled with the code. Turns out you need to unlock it by turning the lock OPPOSITE to the way you normally would. They should be attentive to making sure the tables are kept clean during rush hour at lunch.

Excellent and kind service. I was happy when I left the store.

Love their egg and avocado baguette!

What they sell is fine. The building is an interesting one. Some nice features within it. The cleanliness of the tables could be better. The person I visited the store with actually cleaned the table her self with water and tissues. First time I saw someone do that hahaha. It was quite busy when I visited both times but we were alright finding seating. There wasn't a delay

Renown chain of higher quality fast food. The place needs some improvement on cleaning and service at the desk.

I would like to speak with one of the manager I was in the shop at 17:35 today and one of the staff with glasses she was rude with all customers! Tomorrow I will contact the customer service and complain about her !

Hot chocolate here is not nice but it came fast and it’s not that busy

Quicka and tasty as expected. Can get crowded and warm upstairs.

I'm not sure what to make of Pret. Needs more choice of cold iced drinks all a bit bitter for me. No where to recycle plastic cups. Very crowded after ordering waiting for drinks

I had to through up after the matcha and the chai-latte drink. The matcha smells like sushi and the chai-latte like nutmeg.

Great coffee and yummy food, especially when u are welcome with a true smile from all the members.

Very busy and not a lot of room. Students taking up space studying for hours so it is what it is.

옥스포드 중심가에 위치해 있고 2층에 나름 편안한 의자도 있어 잠시 쉬어가기 좋은곳

Una de las franquicias de cafeterías más populares de Inglaterra,buen café,te por supuesto y una buena oferta de comidas..hay que ir...

Ordered a macchiato and received a cortado. The Wednesday staff needs to refresh their knowledge. Otherwise lovely place

Standard stuff. Fine to visit for a coffee

service is a little slow. place is also swarmed with people studying or working. not surprising given it's location.

Staff are great. Can get quite busy.

I am paying the Capochino from there. The food is very nice. The Staff is nice and polite.

Toasted sandwiches were partly cold, no seating, many taken by laptop users often not eating or drinking

Very crowded, but expected in the middle of Oxford. Upstairs seating and a reasonable selection of food.

Only get coffee ☕ their but the service is brilliant

Best sarnies on the High St ..but as I finally took the time to say to the duty manager the other day, I've watched the gents' toilet upstairs becoming increasingly degraded over a long time: no hook on which to hang a bag and jacket and degraded and unsavoury-looking trims around skirting and wash hand basin. I suggested she alerts the Regional Manager to need for refurbishment. It's an embarrassment to be hosting visitors from all over the world, offering such a poorly maintained toilet facility in what sets itself up as a world class city ! Mind you..much of central Oxford is degraded, woefully badly maintained and dirty. And I comment honestly and not maliciously, as a life-long resident.

Lazy staff didn't want to clean upstairs too... they closed it! Nowhere to sit!

Great location on one of Oxford's main shopping streets. Fabulous old building which has been sympathetically modified. Great coffee and food as usual!

Still the best fresh sandwiches around, and coffee is fantastic..However toilets are disgusting..

Bought the coffee subscription a month ago and since then this has been my fav constant place! I worked from the cafe upstairs once and it was very peaceful in the afternoon. Good to sit upstairs if you want to work or study. Also the coffee subscription has made it difficult to get coffee in prime time. Most of the time it’s crowded and the staff is in so hurry they serve almost cold beverages even if you ask for a hot one! So make sure you visit in calm time. But overall great place, service and products!

Good service on a busy day, food was excellent

A nice cup of tea and fresh coffee. Good cake. Bathrooms bit of a state. More seating upstairs, no lift.

Great oat milk capuccino. We also really liked the ham and cheese toastie. There are lots of seats separated into cosy sections, so it was a great place to relax and recharge before hitting the shops around the area again.

Genel olarak iyi üst katında ve arka tarafında geniş oturma alanları var. Buzlu kahvesi erken bitebiliyor.

Keeps a warm atmosphere, and a great place to grab some food on the go. Staff are all very friendly and makes the buying experience very smooth. The shop itself is clearly a stand out from appearance alone.

This Pret is really old-school and quirky. The building itself is very beautiful, and in terms of the food and drink it's consistent with other prets I have been to. Because the building is so old though, it tends to get quite hot inside especially in the upstairs seating area in the afternoon. Also the toilet facilities leave quite a lot to be desired. Overall 4 stars because the food and drink are always great!

Waited for a little longer than usual for my coffee and the wonderful women working here apologized profusely and offered I take a pastry for my trouble. Staff here are awesome!!!

Second Best coffee (after AMT Coffee) in Oxford, if you like strong flavour full coffee, the best place to go to. Perfect to start your day.

Very polite, courteous staff. Quick to find the order we had made in advance which had generous portions. Would order again.

Beautiful historic building (Tudor!) Reliable Pret service and selection. Great sandwiches, and a nice place to meet friends.

Asked to sit in...got charged sit in price but still given coffee in takeaway cup. They should be more clear on this. I don't want to contribute to waste all the time

Good coffee in a great location

Обожаю здесь перекусывать, недорого и вкусно)

Service was awful three people making drinks and hot food and no one serving for ages cue out the door. Tables not cleared and not really suitable for shoppers as full of students taking up tables with a drink and a computer. Not the best very disappointed. Usually love a pret experience.

Big space. Lots of table to accommodate everyone

Upstairs is completely dominated by students with laptops and paperwork all over the tables, all nursing empty coffee cups …. Not particularly helpful to all other Pret customers!

Place is busy and dynamic, be sure to highlight food is for takeaway otherwise they charge for inside prices by default

Very unimpressive. I was clipping the harness on our little 9ne in a high chair when some tall, skin head chap, a member of staff with a french accent ... RUSHED up to me all in a hurry, stopped inches away then sputtered "excuse me please!" at a million words an hour and in a tone that said "you stupid customer i have important office admin to do!". I declined his offer to dive out of his way, and took several seconds of his precious time to make sure the baby was safe and secure before stepping away to let him pass. He then slammed the door of an office/staff area so hard another woman dropped her drink in fright. So not going there again.

The service in this place has rapidly declined. I come here at least once per day and since they’ve reopened, things have been getting progressively worse. There is almost always a queue out the door. At least 4 times per week I will order my drink, stand about for 5 minutes waiting for the order, only to be then asked what it was that I had ordered because they had somehow lost the order in the 50cm between the till and the coffee machine. I don’t think it’s necessarily the staff’s fault - they’re absolutely slammed.

Asked for a hot chocolate, they said hot chocolate as they handed it to me, why do I have coffee. Very poor service

Still good but used to be better. Why did you take away the seeds pot for the porridge? Add value, don't take it away. Nice service from your team as always.

Medium size take out eating in as well

Coffee's okay but unsmiling, rude, slow staff. Must be a "problem store" because these issues have been going on for years. Go to the one at the other end of the street, it's consistently good.

Really poor attitude in staff member who served me. Made incorrect drink and poured it into smaller cup and then tried to give it to me as original drink I wanted! Not great for Pret as mostly have great staff.

Drinks are better value than a lot of other big chains, and the upstairs area makes a great study spot 👌

Staff had their friends standing around the coffee bar and were arm wrestling rather than serving customers. Got the order wrong but who would want to go back there to argue with a bunch of rowdy youngsters.

Incredibly cozy, great atmosphere for working on your laptop or studying, also a nice place for small group meetings. A great alternative to the library or if you’re just looking for a calm place to read a book Try to go in off peak hours: it can be incredibly busy 10am-3pm on weekdays as a lot of students go there so it’s sometimes practically impossible to find a free table (especially during morning rush hour and lunchtime). It also gets super noisy so not great to focus. But outside of those times it’s super chill, the photos below were taken noon time on a Saturday and there were loads of free seats (also it was peaceful and quiet) In my experience they have the biggest food range of all the Pret’s in Oxford and normally are really well-stocked. The staff there is also undoubtedly the nicest and friendliest staff ever - they’ll chat with you and seem to genuinely care, and also make strong effort to get the order right. Baked goods are impeccable and if you get them right after they’re out of the oven it’s a divine experience. Some downsides is that they don’t do smoothies, frappes, or milkshakes (for that you’d have to go to the Pret further down on Cornmarket or the one in Westgate), but they do do iced coffees. There is also sometimes variability in the coffee quality from extremely good to very subpar but I think this mostly happens when a new barista is in training. Also like I said during peak times it can get incredibly busy but the staff is always really efficient so they keep waiting times really low. Overall my favourite Pret for indoors seating, food choices, and staff but the coffee is better in the smaller Pret further down on Cornmarket Street.

Really quick and speedy service, staff were very friendly!! Helpful in recommending one of their many hot drinks. Hope to be back soon

It took over 5 minutes to make a coffee, which miraculously showed up luke warm. There is no social distancing, and understaffed. Try the other Pret at the other end of the high street.

Really poor service. Was asked my order around 5 times and still needed to repeat whilst they were making it. Staff are super disorganised.

they dont speak english , 2 pan aux raisens pls from the back , had to say it 8 times . 2 from the back pls and then was told to calm down whilst she reached for 2 from the front . i was told that her english wasnt very good , in a coffee shop in oxford possibly was of the most english places on earth 🧐

Deliciosos y relativamente económico

A joke. Never have I received such poor service. Repeatedly. Don't bother if you're an delivery driver they don't care that the food is delayed. Ever.

The drinks are in general good but this particular Pret always runs out of ice,,, and I need my drinks iced and cold :((

Pret a manger; ready to eat. Sweet.

Its pret it's a sandwhich shop the sandwhich was good had it for lunch apparently the coffee is good but idk man kinda smells like Tories but that's most of Oxford so wasn't really noticeable

Customer service is non-existent at such a supposedly 'established' business. It really baffles me how the workers in this very Pret acquired their jobs, but it seems very apparent they employ friends or acquaintances. Seriously, how can you work in customer service, but not even offer customer service? A living paradox we live in. The workers never clean the table ever, so upon entering you are always greeted with dirty tables and dirty service. Oh, forget that, there are no tables upon entry! They're all hoarded by students????

Literally one of the worst coffees I have ever had in my life. I actually threw out the free mocha I got from here. Hot chocolate was good though xo

My mother and I visited for a bite to eat yesterday, usually a vibrant, bustling Pret had been transformed into a completely silent extension of an Oxford University library, making shoppers and visitors feel very unwelcome. Every table was taken by a sea of students and laptops sprawled across the tables, the whole restaurant was completely silent. We quickly ate our food to escape this uncomfortable atmosphere. Incredibly disappointed- Pret needs to change it’s policy to limit how long students can sit there for, or make a designated area for visitors to sit and eat.

If you want to drastically increase your chances of getting COVID-19 this would be the place to go. Visited a few weeks ago and it reminded me more of a student rave than a coffee shop. No face coverings worn by staff and only about 15% of people in the whole store wearing masks. No enforcement of this at all. Paid for eat in prices and not a single place to sit over the whole 2 floor layout - I ended up going back to my car to eat my sandwich and drink my coffee. Students everywhere with laptops over the tables sat next to each other. NO social distancing what so ever. Frankly APPAULING and unacceptable for such a lax approach to safety during this pandemic. For someone who rarely writes reviews I felt so strongly about this - I even wrote a complaint directly to Pret which was palmed off with some automated response and 'this will be passed to the relevant team to deal with' loosely translating to.... in the email trash folder to never be seen again. On the plus side... the coffee is pretty good but definitely not good enough to risk my life getting COVID 19. Won't be returning.

Good location, great coffee, excellent staff.

Very amiable staff despite being rushed off their feet.

Pret es mi lugar preferido para un almuerzo ligero en Oxford, pero ayer estuvo mal. Incluso con las preocupaciones de Covid, el lugar no estaba limpio. Menos mesas significaba que no había dónde sentarse debido a que los estudiantes trabajaban en sus computadoras portátiles. Menos mesas pero todas juntas con un espacio abierto en el medio. No es una experiencia agradable y la próxima vez buscaré un lugar como alternativa.

Bought a couple of things in the morning as hotel breakfast option wasn’t great. The guy gave the items through the perspex and didn’t even offer me a bag. I had two drinks and other bits, had to ask for a bag where he replied “oh you want a bag?” I weren’t prepared to balance the items on my head. Not that morning anyway...

Normalmente me gusta Pret, especialmente sus ofertas de comida, pero teniendo en cuenta la situación actual, debería haber podido limpiarme las manos al entrar y mientras estuve allí. Lotes que usaban el inodoro individual ya que uno estaba cerrado, no presenciaron ninguna limpieza de mesa ni de mangos. En general decepcionado

Visité el otro día antes del trabajo solo para tomar un café rápido y pasteles, pero para mi sorpresa, ¡el área alrededor de las máquinas de tarjetas estaba excepcionalmente sucia junto con las máquinas de tarjetas! ! ! en la pandemia actual, pensaría que se limpiarían a diario, si no más. (parecía suciedad acumulada durante meses)Me hizo cuestionar la limpieza de otras áreas no visibles para el público.

Good staff..well meaning..loved it

Bocadillo de bogavante espectacular.

This Pret a manger is a popular cosy place with friendly staff in a sympathetically adapted Tudor wattle and daub building which leans out onto the street and is often photographed by visitors to the city...good for sandwiches, pastries, healthy drinks and all sorts of coffee. They do filter coffee for only 99p , which is good value. Pret has a policy of donating food and funds to homeless charities. There's another takeaway branch just up the street, also popular.

Good service and clean facilities. Great coffee and food.

I like this place, for food and hot/cold drinks

Tasty coffee and food. Clean space. Recommend.

オーガニックコーヒーショップ。 チャイをテイクアウト。 写真のフラップジャックは、別の個人カフェで購入した商品です。 ※ フラップジャック イギリスでは、定番のおやつ オーツ麦にピーナッツバターを絡め、ストロベリーなどのジャムをサンドしたシリアルバーです。

Old crooked building, loved it.

Nice cafe in an amazing old, little building with fantastic views (upstairs)

Ήσυχο μέρος με έτοιμα σνακς και καφέ.
