This pret always has such nice service. The team seem to always have fun with each other, even when it is busy. There are times when the shelves look a bit bare however they are quickly stocked up and there's still plenty of choices. I want to thank the tall blond gentleman who served me this morning (I'm so sorry I didn't get your name even though it was on your badge!). His joy and positive attitude was so infectious that I had to buy a melted snowman cookie because it made us both laugh. Thank you for making my Friday morning!

Not expected this from Pret! I had to grab a late lunch at 4pm, staff been talking to each other like I’m invisible … I had a chicken salad baguette and it’s disgusting! Too much sauce, and salad was very little like they made it with leftover! Look after your quality and service!!!!

I visited around lunchtime and there was a small queue. I went for a filter coffee but found out they don’t sell it. The staff member was very kind and, apologising, offered me a complimentary Americano. It was a male barista working the lunchtime shift, though I didn’t catch his name. Thanks to him, I started my day on a high note.

Food freshness needs improvement. The cookies are often stale, not soft and gooey as they should be when fresh. I recommend a sister branch if you want it really fresh: Cavendish Square. The good thing about this branch is the early opening time and the location

I noticed the staff in this outlet are racial bias and the service is poor.I have asked for Pret shakers and the lady told they ran out of stock .But I just saw she took the same order from other person.They are very bias towards asian people and also towards students who has pret subscription.Very rude behaviour n I strongly urge authorities to consider this seriously.

I had an incredibly frustrating experience at this Pret. I felt strongly that the staff member serving me provided noticeably poor service due to racial bias, taking significantly longer to serve me despite having arrived earlier. As an Asian individual, I was taken aback by the differential treatment I received. I observed that older white lady taking orders from several other guests with a welcoming demeanor. However, when it was my turn to place an order, I experienced a noticeable shift in her attitude. She seemed uninterested in assisting me, and it felt like she was ignoring my order. Despite my polite requests for service, it took her an unreasonably long time to begrudgingly prepare my drink.The lid on my drink was also broken. The experience left me feeling disappointed, disrespected and that basic standards of customer service and equality were not being met.

This yet another example of a dreadful coffee shop in the UK. The coffee is sub standard, the food is stale and the staff obviously don't like working there. Another appalling issue is that even when you 'dine in', you are given disposable cups, plates and cutlery. The coffee chains like this and Starbucks, Nero and other are a bligh on retailing in the UK. Support independent cafes where possible.

Guy who I can only assume was a manager decided at 4:50 that they "weren't selling enough so we have to close" before rapidly trying to push folks out, while only one poor guy had been working the counter since we arrived, leading to a line near the door! Overall, a generally unpleasant experience despite the counter guy doing his best!

Love the product but recruitment has gone downhill and off a cliff. Staff in are inept and lacking any nouse in respect of what customer service is. They give the vibe they don’t want to be there and customer’s are an unwelcome annoyance. Shame. Because I’ll keep coming back for the food and drinks and have to put up with the staff - like a computer game one has to get past the obstacles (staff) to get the end goal: lunch.

The worst pret in London! Don't come here if you're on your lunch break, you'll spend half of it in here. The staff are not friendly at all and are just utterly useless. I only ordered a mocha, the people that were in front of me in the queue got their drinks first which is rightly so. But the people in the queue behind me also got their drinks before me! No apology from the staff for keeping me waiting for so long. Sorry but it should be first come first served! And also the drink tasted absolutely disgusting.

In the last week the staff has been very slow and inexperienced in the preparations of breakfasts. Many people waiting to get their hot drinks. Most of the time I had to remind twice to prepare mine. This morning I saw people who order after me served before me. The flat white I received was then cold, without foam and overflowing from the cup. These guys they should choose more experienced staff to use in the busy times. I will have to go somewhere else in the next mornings.

Serve only for takeaway if you don't have a toilet!!! This is awkward because now I have to hold back till our appointment. This isnt a proper customer service!

I just had the WORST customer service experience at the branch in 136 Great Portland St London! It's a pret that I go to at least 3 times a day, because it's the closest to my work. Usually the staff there are so lovely, specially Bob, he is fab! But today a lady who looked like was in charge, (Blonde), was exrtremely rude with no customer service whatsoever! Her colleague made me scan my subscription QR code 6 times as there was something wrong, when she called the lady in charge over, i tried to explain that it may not be working due to the amount of times i had to scan it, i tried to show her that it expires in Aug, etc. She told me to get out of the line and call customer service. I asked for her name and she told me she didnt have one. All this happened while many other customers were watching. I was very embarrassed, she was absolutely awful!!!

I feel obliged to post this review as I have been let down by this Pret shop so many times now! Enough is enough. I regularly order coffee via Uber Eats from this shop, and NEVER do they read the instructions I send! The milk is ALWAYS missing. They never send something to stir with (am I supposed to use my fingers to stir a hot coffee, for instance?). Something is always missing and I end up binning my coffee as they don’t send milk and sweeteners! WASTE OF MONEY!!!

Even they close at 4 on a Sunday, they would very gentlely remind you and staye late for customers that couldn't leave immediately. We were almost the last ones to leave and they didn't push you or bug you. I am a loyal customer but hasn't been coming often lately.

I am a massive Pret fan but this store gives pret a bad name. Management needs to be assessed ASAP because I’m sure this isn’t the fault of general staff. They seem extremely depressed and stressed, even the croissants here look deflated. Apart from the stressed unsmiling service they are also always sell out of key lunchtime products, eg no soups left by 1pm on a weekday. This particular branch is putting me off the whole chain.
