Pret A Manger

3.5 stars. This place seems decent, though it's missing one and half of a star because the closing time on the weekends is ridiculously early (compared to other places from the same chain) which is both unexpected and inconvenient. I had the misfortune of arriving only minutes before they close, and while the employee at the cash was friendly, the selection of foods such as sandwiches was greatly limited, though I believe they still had a decent variety of juices available. Overall, aside from closing earlier than other stores of the same name, the establishment was well managed and friendly.

This location constantly forgets my order or gets it wrong. A real example of me trying to order an iced tea at this Pret: server: "What can I get you?" me, trying to be very clear since I'm wearing a mask: "I'll have an iced black tea" server: "What kind of milk?" me, confused: "no milk..." server: "okay" (the server goes to make the drink) server: "wait what kind of milk do you want?" me: "no milk please" server: "but....it's a latte...." me: "no, I wanted an iced black tea" server: "ohhhh, but you said latte" This is when they remember to make my drink. If not, I'll just order my drink, stand aside, then wait indefinitely while everyone else served after me gets their coffee until I have to go up and say "excuse me, but I think you forgot my drink." I keep trying to give this place another chance because the Pret on 6th Ave by Bryant Park doesn't have these problems but I think I'm done.

Visited this store for the first time and was very impressed with the service. The cashier was very helpful and assisted me with locating the proper coffee urn, after my purchase. The ham and cheese sandwich on baguette was tasty and a good value. The casual, clean atmosphere and central location were also pluses. Good option when seeking a convenient, low key spot in the midst of a hectic stretch of Broadway.

It's good, healthy and delicious food for the "I am in a rush. Gotta get something to go". Not a place for the "oh, kids you're hungry. Let's come in and eat". Definitely. Because for the same price you could sit and eat at a nice diner. Coffee is cold. No one bothered to change even after being asked twice.
