Atmosphere was good. With people working there on their laptops at tables. I ordered one hot chocolate which was very yummy and warm. I found it one of the best hot chocolate brand chain in uk

I really love that this Pret is open until 11pm! This is the first Pret I see open this late. I hope other Prets follow through. I got a decaf cappuccino and it was perfect

Pret A Manger on Bernard Street, just a short walk from Russell Square station, is one of the most convenient spots for a quick breakfast or coffee in London. As expected from the chain, the quality of coffee and pastries is consistent and satisfying. Their croissants and breakfast rolls are fresh and perfect for a quick morning bite. The staff are generally friendly, and the service is fast, which is ideal for people on the go. While it may not offer a unique or cozy café vibe, it delivers exactly what it promises—reliable, tasty food with great accessibility.

A few times a year I’m at the Royal National Hotel for a comic mart and Pret has become my go-to lunch and breakfast stop for that, fuelling me all day long.
I really like Pret food anyway, its fairly healthy (or at least feels like it is), delicious and you know what you’re getting. The service in here is usually fairly quick and friendly so I am both happy to get take away or pay to eat it there, and finally its always well stocked and really clean.

I didn’t have big expectations from a falafel wrap but it apparently surpassed them quite successfully! It was such a delicious haloumi falafel wrap, better than most of the oriental kebap shops I tried so far!! The wrap is so crusty, delicious and you get it warm! It is also a nice place to chill and even eat something else with you if you have!

Pret is popular across the UK and popular for a reason. The food is fresh, affordable, and delicious. The falafel salad had so many elements and textures with a lovely lemony, herby dressing.
The selection of fresh juices and smoothies was very impressive. The apple juice was excellent, naturally sweet with a slight tartness

All Pret A Manger cafes are similar in style, obviously, but this one feels very comfortable in particular. Good atmosphere, lots of space in the sitting area, fresh and tasty food. Great place to work in peace while eating something nice.

Now we understand why Pret is everywhere in London, our first try and it’s probably the best brunch we have had here.
Besides the regular sandwiches, we love their toasted tuna sandwich, and the rest including coffee is quite spot on.
