Pret A Manger - Chelmsford

Lovely coffee ans staff. I usually have a cappuccino with oat milk. The oat milk cookies are very good as well.

This branch has two fridges one of which has been out of action for months. I can only assume the fridge has deliberately been switched off to save electricity and reduce their product range……less products less waste but less consumer choice. What is utterly reprehensible is they have removed the facility for recycling the paper cups which now just get thrown in the ordinary bins with all the other non recycled waste. I have complained to Pret about this who said they would get the area manager to look into it……they can’t be looking very hard.

I really enjoyed my coffee and my porridge and I would happily go back and recommend it to my family and friends

The staff were pleasant and friendly when they took my order for an espresso. It was a very generous measure, full flavoured and I thought the way it was presented with a serviette on a circular silver tray was a nice touch. There are several vegan friendly options in the breakfast, lunch, soups, sandwiches, baguettes, wraps, hot meals, salads, snacks and sweet treats ranges.

The food is always good quality but why can't they produce sandwiches without an inch of lettuce, rocket and various other watery filler? I know they do a couple but decent sandwich shops in the centre of Chelmsford are few and far between and having to strip out the salad to find the filling I'm after is a pain. Others may disagree but I find Pret's sandwich selection limited and frustrating.
