Better choices for sandwiches and different choices for milk … nice morning atmosphere …

This is a great to-go place with all sorts of healthy choices of food that has been prepared with care. Take the food to the park.

Tired and hungry, I left my CC in the machine by accident. A staff member named Brian came outside to give it to me. It may not seem like a big deal, but his action had a huge positive impact on my day. I'll definitely go back to this location in the future. I'm grateful to Brian for his time and caring.

Right before leaving NY, we decided to eat something as our flight was scheduled late at night, so since we were enjoying our last moments at Bryant Park we headed to Pret for a quick meal. We had two panini (decent quality) and a chicken soup with pasta (tragic). Italian pasta once overcooked becomes a soggy mess, and therefore we expected to find some types of Asian noodles, instead we found the first one and the soup was indeed bad. With taxes, we spent 22 usd, I would have gladly gone up to the halal guys and enjoyed a way better meal. The place was also a bit dirty and several people seemed to hanging around to enjoy Wi-Fi and escape the cold breeze. Overall okay if you wanna grab something quick and have no other choice.

Come here for the drinks and quick bit and to rest. The food is nothing to write home about but it is reliable and fresh for take and go style. There is female employee there that works AM is a bit of a racist, maybe she don't realize she wears her attitude on her sleeve or think it is okay to treat customers differently. I find the staff at this location are the rudest. Really should close it down, rehire a brand new crew because it just keeps recycling bad hires. Even one old manager there was awful but I believe she left..I order catering from Pret (food quality). Makes me wonder how do they treat their employees, managers especially for attitude to trickle down. Did we not learn from Starbucks, and small businesses 50% food quality-50% customers service and environment is what keeps customers from returning.

Great way to start off for young adults they always respond right away to an application. When you get there it do be overly crowded for interviewers not a lot of seats

It lives up to the Pret's name serving fresh salads, sandwiches, fruit bowls, fresh coffee and tea. I was a little disheartened by the untidiness of the dining and coffee areas, but my mom enjoyed the experience.

Food to go or to stay. Love the sandwiches, soup, friendly staff, several addresses.

Pret is always a safe bet. I’m never unhappy eating here.
I always come here because it has the healthiest and freshest options given what's in the area. When walking from Grand Central toward 5th ave, the next best option-Whole Foods-just seems a little too far. This place is a refuge in the summer months when it's super steamy outside and can also be a great place to get a nice warm latte for the winter when the other next best option for coffee-Starbucks down on Madison is filled to the brim with commuters. The service here is quick and people are friendly! I feel like they have the midtown positivity vibe. My favorites are the small quinoa bowl, the salmon cup-awesome sides for a meal or a quick bite with a coffee and I also love their array of salads and other healthy options. My fav is the falafel and the salmon salads/bowls-which now come in boxes! :) I tried their lobster roll today for lunch.$9.99 which is far less than what you'd pay for at a seafood cafe and it SHOWS. There's not too much fish in the roll but I think it's totally fine for an afternoon bite. It was fresh, not overly dressed, and had a good amount of lettuce. My fav snacks here are the dark choccolate covered almonds and the trail mix. As a Native New York, Pret is and will always be one of my favorites around the city. I hope it doesn't close.

My interactions with Pret are usually limited to whenever I'm in Manhattan looking for food before a work meeting. This particular location is close to the train so whenever I'm looking for lunch I'll stop here. This Pret is pretty spacious. While crowds are a given, there's a large open space as soon as you enter with the fridges along the wall on the right. They do a good job constantly restocking and I've never had an issue finding everything they offer. Their food is pretty good - I've had some of their wraps and sandwiches and everything tastes pretty fresh. Service is pretty efficient - I've been there during the lunch rush and have had no problems being rung out promptly. Overall, while I would argue that there's nothing too outstanding about Pret's fare - I also feel that's the whole point. They have solid go-tos with efficient employees - everything you want out of a lunch spot in Manhattan.
