PRET A MANGER

Pret A Manger is your typical grab-and-go joint that somehow makes even a chain feel a bit like home. The hygiene is top-notch, so at least you won’t leave with a side of food poisoning. The staff here are the kind of bright-eyed baristas who probably own a pet cat and take their coffee seriously. Sabrina, one of the shining stars here, seems to make every cup feel like a hug. The food? It’s fresh and ready to go, but don’t expect a life-changing experience.

If you need somewhere to chill with a laptop or just grab a quick bite, Pret hits the mark—but don’t come expecting a Michelin star. It’s solid, reliable, and might just be the best thing around when you need a pick-me-up. Just don’t be surprised if it’s packed with people pretending they work while actually scrolling through social media.
