Pret A Manger

Not a big coffee fan so Pret for me is only when I have a working lunch or meeting. Less than a minute from my office and Angel tube station, it is my favourite sandwich place here in Islington (I love E.A.T more but there isn’t one here)
I particularly love their Mushroom Risotto which is exceptional. You can’t go wrong with the Sandwiches and I usually pick-​up a Cheese and Pickle or Chicken and Avocado. They do some hot food as well and you can get your food toasted if you would like.
The place us clean, staff are friendly and the service quick. They have some space so you can eat it but cost extra. I normally take the grub over to my office.
Decent selection of drinks, crisps and desert are available to complete your lunch and you can get a decent meal for £7-£10.

Always fresh, quick service, love the breakfast sausage and egg, all of the baguettes are crunchy, soups are great

I sometimes go to London on business trips, and when I heard our office moved locations, I was VERY happy to see a Pret was located within a block of the new office. I LOVE Pret. You can’t go wrong with the food here. I go here specifically because the food is fresh and fast. When I am in need of a quick lunch to take back to the office PRESTO, Pret to the rescue!

Came to this location in October ’10. Typical Pret comparable to the others ones in London. Store isn’t very organized later in the evening.
Coffee OK, but I think Costa is slightly better.
+1: close to Angel tube station
+1: wait time at queue was short
–1: not many chairs /​tables to sit down at

I’m a huge fan of Pret. The sandwiches are always fresh and they make a solid latte. I have never had a poor experience at a Pret and even in the afternoon when the pickings can be just a little slim, they’re still just as good. Today’s was a free range egg mayo with cress on brown bread. Muy bueno!
This Pret is no exception to the rule. Coolers of sandwiches that were made today are ready for choosing with prices clearly marked. Crisps, fruit, yogurt, and a few options for sodas (even Pret’s own brand!) there too.
Coffee can take a minute when it’s busy, but they are extremely efficient and you’ll never be waiting for long. Unlike some other caffeine outlets (*cough* Starbucks *cough*), the coffee doesn’t taste over roasted and I’ve never had a barista here make a mistake. maybe that’s because they don’t do eleventy billion different varieties of mochachinos and blended nonsense. It’s coffee. It’s good. Move on.
This Pret is across the street from Angel station. It’s a busy street, so do use the proper crossing unless you’re a professional.

I really like Pret and have been to several in London already.
What I like most of all is the no nonsense service. You’re in, you’re out and boom you’re happy. I NEED that kind of service in the morning. Assembly line, but it works for me.
The sandwiches are delicious. I don’t usually buy pre-​made sandwiche, but I make an exception at Pret. You seriously can’t go wrong here if you want good food/​coffee, prompt service and a clean environment.
Bravo for an alternative to Starbucks!

Without a doubt the worst service & coffee I have endured for some time !
I would not return here unfortunate as I like the coffee flavor at Pret
P.s Am I the only one who’s Cappuccino is made with luke warm milk. This seems to be a regular feature at prets !
AND What is this enforcement of semi skimmed milk ! Pret don’t stock Full cream milk now days .WHY. I don’t want you telling me it’s bttr 4 me !

Feed me, feed me now! I must be able to choose, pay for and eat my food within 60 seconds of entering the premises. That’s how hungry I am.
Ahhh, there’s a Pret over there, that’ll do the job nicely. Meatball wrap or superclub sandwich? Erm, both.
The story above repeats itself all over London. I find the food tasty and cheap enough.
Just avoid the office lunch hour if you can and all is well.

I do not frequent chains like this on the regular, but when you are cold, hungry and in no mood to hunt for the holy grail of new, independent food outlets, Pret will always get you what you want. Fair is fair, their options on quick take-​out food is good, the standard is high, and you always know what you are getting.
Pret you are alright, and I am quite a fan of your granola, yogurt and compote tubs.
