Pret a Manger

I am not reviewing the food or the parent co which I enjoy & appreciate. I am reviewing this location only. This Pret is on East 51^st street near Park Ave.
I’ve been a regular early morning customer here, but not after today. Recently the volume on the sound system has become excessive and this morning when I asked for it to be lowered because I could not here my own mobile phone through my ear buds, I was told the volume is not adjustable. Since the volume was never this loud until the past 2 weeks, that seems unlikely.
I know it is a small shop and you need turnover, but your patrons should be able to spend 10 – 15 for breakfast in a pleasant place.
GO TO A Different Pret location, there are several in the area! I know I will.
BTW, I tried to find Pret’s comment card and box, but this location does not have one available to customers.

Sneaking out of office to grab a quick coffee at Pret. For coffee, Pret has had nothing special; however for juices or lunch selections, definitely a decent place.
Would come back for a wrap or soup next time during lunch hours. They also had plenty of space inside the store.

My favorite Pret in the city. Customer service is spot on here. Employees are always cheerful and smiling.
Cheap and good coffee too.

A nice option right next to my workplace!
They’re a little pricey ($ 7 for a sandwich, $ 5 for a cup of soup) but the food is GOOD.
This location just opened up last month. Not a lot of tables, but I think they’re more focused on the midtown lunch rush hour. There are 6 cashiers, and service is fast and friendly.
Good selection of salads, sandwiches, soups, grilled cheese, pastries, beverages.
My favorites: Mozareella brie basil baguette, white bean escarole soup, egg salad sandwiches
Must haves: the brownies, the ginger soda (if you like that peppery ginger flavor! it’s strong and delicious!)
