Pret a Manger in City of London, Westminster

Beware! I was in this branch of Pret today at 1.45pm having a coffee. I got pickpocketed and by 2pm they were on a spending spree around Farringdon. Its not really Prets fault, but please be aware when in there.

Just want to say that the staff here went above and beyond today when we popped in on the way to my daughter’s graduation at the Barbican around 9am. Her high heeled sandal broke and they kindly really helped us try and fix it with tape! Can’t tell you how much this discretionary effort was appreciated at the time!!! Hope this thanks gets fed back as the individuals deserve it.

Pret is marketing country wide their 99p filter coffee. However, in this shop; they will claim that they do not do it to be able to upsell more expensive coffees, such as the £3.8 americano instead. Would avoid this Pret due to dishonest marketing practices

Possibly the worst coffee I’ve had at a Pret. Like dishwater, no flavour. Pret are usually adequate, but not this one.

I had pret coffee ages and it never tasted this bad! To the point were I couldn’t take more than 2 sips. It was not fit for consumption. I had an oat latte and I am also sure that the guy sold it as oat but gave me whole milk. Bitter to the point of burning your taste buds! I suggest you do to the branch during peak lunch break and taste it yourself.

Leon makes the best hot chocolate !! Thank you for your lovely work ;)

New management is badly needed here. This is undoubtedly the worst Pret in the area. Hygiene and quality are major issues, *especially on the weekends*. Service is also an issue. Seriously considering writing a letter to corporate. That’s how bad this place is.

I have complained to Pret about this branch numerous times but nothing changes. This is the worst Pret ever. The staff are super rude especially the slim Asian guy who is arrogant and rude. They chat amongst themselves when serving customers with no eye contact. It is like customers are a burden. Small, dirty branch with limited seats. Rather than serve customers properly or clean, they chat and discuss what they will do in the evening! Pret will just read this, say their sorry and do nothing. I suggest you tell them to treat customers properly.

Due to close at 4pm but staff stacked tables at 2.30

My favourite place to go for food and soft drinks. Love that they have vegitarian and vegan food too

Non male ma allo stesso tempo non indimenticabile. Una valida alternativa se volete fare una pausa e cercate qualcosa anche di veggie in zona

Samira, the staff member on the tills, absolutely made my day - she was lovely, helpful, friendly and very caring. Thank you for being so kind, it really makes such a difference! Never change :-)

I haven’t reviewed a Pret before but feel obliged to do so today as received the worst service ever at a Pret. I bought a takeaway tea and it was a particularly quiet time yet despite this the barista (chap with a shaved head) barely registered my presence and my overall impression was that it was a bit of an imposition to have made an order! Really disappointing as I know Pret prides itself on good service and my experience until today has always been really good.

Lovely staff, but shame they close ridiculously early on a Saturday of all days.....

On Mondays they open at 7 when it's 6 on their timetable

Friendly and professional staff. Although a franchise set up, the staff make it an enjoyable experience shopping here.

Bonne adresse pour manger un petit dej français à prix raisonnable

I would normaly use the aldersgate store but great customer service from the barista LETIAN, means this will now become my default choice when using prett. Also great as it is very dog friendly.

I recently visited the Pret A Manger in Barbican and had the pleasure of being served by a wonderful lady (I think she is a barista, she wears barista apron and shirt). My partner and I have been visiting this shop on weekends for brunch and coffee since 2 weeks ago and we were so happy to find a calm and peaceful atmosphere amidst the busy rush hours. The barista who served us was friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Even though she was wearing a mask, her greetings and sense of humor made us feel at home. On our most recent visit on May 6, she went above and beyond to make our experience even more enjoyable. Despite the slightly busy queue, she took the time to explain the Club Pret program to us and even gave us a delicious new dessert to try. What really stood out to us was how much the barista seemed to care about her customers. When a little boy started running around the shop, she quickly went over to him and gave him a babycinno to help calm him down. She also made sure to warn his parents about the wet and slippery floor, showing genuine concern for their safety. Overall, my partner and I were blown away by the amazing service we received from this barista. Her genuine kindness and attention to detail really made our visit to Pret a special one. She also made very good soya latte and cappuccino. We hope that she is valued by the company (I hope Pret is checking the review) and recognized for her outstanding work.

Utterly disappointed in this service. Very unfriendly. My 11 year old daughter and her friend ordered two babiccinos (warm milk) in the freezing cold. The man who worked there proceeded to stare at them for about 3 minutes before turning around just to hand them two small cups of cold milk. Do not recommend unless you want your children to freeze.

Staff was friendly but .....I bought an omelette sandwich , the egg was made to look bigger than it was, as they pushed it to one side! Shenni opened the bread to see content the egg was covering 2/3 of the bread ! Eggs are cheap so don't understand the stupid behaviour! Pret a manger used to be my favourite place but I've noticing that prices are increasing and sizes and quality are decreasing ! Very soon you'll loose a customer for good ! If you are charging more at least keep the quality and STOP BEING GREEDY !

4 members of staff were working yet I was in a queue for at least 10mins with only 2 people in front of me?!? Coffee tasted exactly like every other Pret so no stars lost for that. But come on, no one should have to wait 10mins to order and then another 5 mins to receive their order?!

Very rude staff not recommended going there. Coffee aren’t the best. And they always missing food from menu. Go to pret by Farringdon the staff are wonderful and baristas are perfect

Very busy but loved the outside sitting are watching the London buzz go by

More a branch to take out with a small seating area. Convenient location next to Barbican station. Also given the area, mainly for office workers who need to grab a quick bite! Limited items but sufficient choice. Small. What annoyed me was that I have a dairy allergy. The guy that served me was in his own world and did not take his job seriously. I got a black americano with milk all over the lid. I luckily noticed it in time. I had to ask him to change it and make me a new coffee. What surprised me was his laid-back attitude.

Delicious sandwiches, great selection of other quality food at affordable prices

Staff always polite and friendly

Great location near the new Elizabeth line for Farringdon and Barbican station. With the standard Pret food and over standard kind staffs

I use Pret A Manger’s a lot but I have to say this is the dirtiest branch I have ever been to. Tables, chairs and floors dirty and sticky. As we visited relatively early in the day I have to assume that this was not cleaned since at least the day before. Staff were pleasant enough but a LOT more attention to hygiene would be nice.

Nice place to dine in great atmosphere and good quality food and drinks

One of my favourite places for coffee. Pret's strong coconut latte is a thing to be admired

Always quick service and good selection. Staff are friendly.

Staff getting everyone’s order wrong

Favourite place to eat,always fresh food,very helpfull staff,chef can choose customer randomly and offer something for free,did not know that until last week We got 2 lovely chicken soups for free Glad they open a shop in East London Thank you to all staff !!

Branch is filthy! There are limited seats inside. More outside. Staff are awful. There are loads there but they don't bother to clean. Busy and convenient location by the station. My advice, if your desperate get a take away. Don't eat in. The smoothie bowl and coffee were good but eating on a dirty floor with a line of people watching you was not appealing!

Customer service bad no greeting at all

Too busy. Have to que for ages each morning. Needs more staff

Good place. Sometimes the coffees are good and sometimes it is bad.

Good pret store, had friendly staff. Would recommend to use.

They do not open at 6:30, even 7:30

It would be good to have smoothies available. Service is good.

Record-breaking temperatures and months of severe drought have fuelled a series of massive bushfires across Australia. Although recent cooler conditions and rain have brought some respite, more than 50 fires are still burning in the states of New South Wales and Victoria. Hot and windy conditions are forecast to return to many parts of New South Wales this weekend and authorities in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) have declared a state of emergency as massive bushfires rage south of Canberra. At least 33 people have been killed - including four firefighters - and more than 11 million hectares (110,000 sq km or 27.2 million acres) of bush, forest and parks across Australia has burned. New South Wales and Victoria have been worst affected#wuzuolai In the worst-hit state, New South Wales (NSW), fire has affected more than five million hectares, destroying more than 2,000 houses and forcing thousands to seek shelter elsewhere. More than 1,600 firefighters are currently working to slow the spread of fires and shore up containment lines, the NSW Rural Fire Service says. Fires have raged near the Australian capital Canberra for weeks - at one stage shutting the city's airport as flames approached the perimeter. On Friday, the worst blaze was just south of the district of Tuggeranong, a 20-minute drive south of Parliament House. Fears are growing that the rising temperatures and strong winds could make the fire uncontrollable. But the NSW Rural Fire Service says it expects most of the flames to spread south east.

What an amazing time to be have a pret. Lockdown made me wanna get coffee so obvious got 1 about 6 times. Deal and value on point- coffee was warm with hints of authentic bean. Teas are selection, peppermint one of the bestestest ones go on offer. Meal was had-panini mozzarella heated expertly by staff member (#PRET6786660004) what a grandeur food. If I had to recomend anyone to any place of anywhere in London well this certainly is one of better take aways day out. Overall margin better than costa which doesn’t have feeding good.

The drinks especially cappuccino is good the store is well located and always busy it to be open longer hours otherwise it is good and clean

great palce to eat and chill. been there with my collegues, to celabrate and everythink was great as we asked, the stuff was friendly music and food great.

The coffee is lovely and now I have the unlimited Pret pass. I will be even more of a frequent customer than usual. Not bad Pret not bad at all ☕😉👍

Provided a nice place to sit and wait for my daughter

I'm pleased these guys are open again. The staff are really friendly and they have a decent selection of sandwiches again (July 2020)

Like this place for lunch breaks. Amazing staff and good selection of vegetarian oprions. Quality coffee

Always special place❤️ hot chocolate is good!

Vasta scelta di sandwich e altro cibo se si necessita di un pasto pratico e veloce. Il prezzo e la qualità del cibo sono vantaggiosi, per questo lo consiglio. C'è possibilità di mangiare all'interno o effettuare servizio take away. Consigliato.

I like the fact that food is home made and there is a variety of options for every diet including vegan. Pret a Manger goes the extra mile and provide soups and pastas beside the typical sandwiches. Dressings are lovely and cutlery strong.

Pour manger pas cher sur Londres,pouvoir s'asseoir et manger à peut près sainement, y'a pas photo... cette chaîne de resto rapide est idéale. Implantée un peu partout dans la capitale, elle vous propose grand monde de sandwichs, potages, desserts variés. Le coût sera d'une 30ene de livres à 4, avec 1 bouteille d'eau pour les 4. Attention malgré tout au heures pointes. Les franchises ne se valent pas forcément toutes, des fois y'a des wc, d'autres non, les dimensions des resto ne sont pas nommées, donc des fois dur de se trouver une petite place. On en a fait 4 en 4 jrs, mon préféré celui à côté du british museum et du russell square

Always a good option for a quick bite. You never fault to have fresh good quality produce and lovely staff. Keep up the good work Pret

Pret standards are very high!You get your food/drink on no time.

This where I usually go to grab lunch. All the workers here are Fab! especially Mr Azmol!

i am having coffe every day from this lovely place!!, also the sandwitches are really fresh and good!! will definetly come back!!

Mais uma como todas as outras redes de café. Não é minha favorita, mas uma opção melhor do que o decaído Starbucks. Lanches razoáveis e café ruim.

The best thing to do. A great place and a nice atmosphere there. The food was awesome. Provide many things.

Please by your soup from the Pret at Smithfield. Its watered down here and never any chicken in chicken and broccoli soup...you're just drinking water with carrots and a few other veg...avoid!

I just love to grab my cappuccino before going to work. This is also lovely place to seat down and relax, isn't?

Nice coffee but tables are a bit cramped.

Você irá encontrar por toda Londres. Opções de comidas são ótimas: sanduíches quentes e frios, saladas de verdura e frio,...

A good branch of the Pret A Manger chain.

Bonne nourriture, très bon accueil! Quartier tranquille mais tout de même animé. Je recommande ce Prêt à manger!!

Comida de paso y barata pero básica, Hay locales por todo Londres. No se paga servicio es rápido y fresco.

Pret a Manger are all over the place and do really good sandwiches that go beyond the usual "cheese and ham" variety. You feel you are eating something a bit special at a good price.

I only went in ther because I'd been at the hospital for so long and it was on the way to the tube. The food I had was really greasy and not very hot. I could have complained but I was in a hurry so I can't comment as to their customer service. But I can say the tables were covered in crumbs and stickiness.

OK but not great. Muzak too loud and too harsh... the kind places choose when they want to hurry you on and out. Coffee rather weak. Space tight.

Perfect for on the go! Efficient service

i love this heatlhy food for the everyday lunch! I usually go there everyday when i am working.. I suggest it!!!

The staff were very friendly staff, clean and quick service. Every time we have been here the service has been spot on.

This consortium excitst allraeady for years. We foreigners waited for that in a poorfoody country. They do a good job, serving fresh stuf and good coffe. I hope they continue this standard.

Has the best breakfast if you are on the move. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. It is part of my morning routine to stop by and get a coffee before my commute.

The usual. Tasty. Efficient Fresh

Good for the breakfast ! :) quick and kind.

Take ve saglikli tercihler var. Vakit darliginda karninizi doyurmak icin uygun zaten cok fazla subesi var Hepsi de son derece...

The go to place for a quick lunchtime meal. The avocado/chicken is consistently good. The variety of sandwiches, wraps and salads means that it is difficult to get bored to go there.

Very nice staff and healthy food

I pret a manger si trovano davvero ad ogni angolo, e davvero si assomigliano tutti. Quello di Shoreditch è piccolo...

Zona Museum of Londra Pret a Manger ottimo

The payment wasn’t done correctly and I paid twice for my order. The manager only gave me the last receipt so i cannot even claim it. Horrible support from staff.

Always get excellent coffees and service 😁.

Always friendly service and it gets so busy the staff are still friendly and nice.

...the queues are always too big. Not sure if they can change it (more staff?) but i would focus on that.

Good spot for a quick grab and go meal. Friendly and efficient people commanding the counters. Great location

Staff member was not very helpful. Breakfast was very nice though!

Good choice if you are hurry, I liked theirs ginger shots if you you have cold & flu just give it a try

We had coffee and panini here on a Friday morning. Clean, plenty of seats and efficient staff. There is also an outside seating area.

Amazing coffee and fresh sandwiches

A good selection of products for gluten free and vegan diets, fresh tasty ingredients... My new go to place

Nice Filter Black coffee and prices are acceptable

Great coffee, very friendly staff. They even gave me a lasagne as I left as it was about to expire... Very kind!

Super chaîne de resto snacking pour manger sur le pouce sur place ou à emporter. Il y en a de partout. Ouvre très tôt en semaine, bien pour déjeuner car moins cher que dans les hôtels

Great service and friendly staff! 👍🏻

Good location but very small considering. A very popular place at lunchtime, and can get quite crammed. Aside from that, selection of is the same as any other pret.

Great location with exceptionally welcoming staff. Special kudos to Amardeep for excellent service and friendliness!

Generic Pret A Manger branch with tightly packed table seating area for 20 plus six stools along a counter by the window. There is also an outside seating area with tables and patio umbrellas.

Were told to move tables so they can clean the floor an hour before they were due to close. Other customers too. The guy was abrupt and rude. Coffee wasn't brilliant either. Avoid

Nice effortable fast serving food, drinks. Good value. Not enough seats afternoon
