Pret A Manger - Oxford, UK

This is my favorite place in Oxford. They offer a wide variety of delicious vegan food and drinks, and I highly recommend it.

We visited oxford last night and I saw that at least three employees distributed sandwiches to the homeless. I guess the use of data was yesterday, so they kept them from landing in. what a fabulous thing. pret was closed, so it looked like the staff did it in their own time.

A beautiful place where a break. I know the best team in the company is working here, they are my friends.

Unbelievably cozy, great atmosphere for working on their laptop or study, also a beautiful place for small group sessions. a great alternative to the library or if they are looking for a quiet place to read a book they try to go in off peak times: it can be incredibly busy 10 o'clock 3 o'clock on weekdays, as many students go there, so sometimes it is practically impossible to find a free table (especially in the morning and midday). it will also be super loud, so not great to focus. but outside of these times it is super chill, the photos below were lunchtime on a Saturday and there were many free places (also it was peaceful and quiet) in my experience they have the greatest selection of livelihoods of all Pret’s in oxford and are usually very well equipped. the personal there is undoubtedly also the most beautiful and friendly staff, ever they will chat with them and seem to really take care, and also strong efforts to get the order right. baked were impeccable and if they receive them immediately after they are out of that, it is a divine experience. some disadvantages is that they do not do smoothies, frappes or milkshakes (for this they would have to go to the pret further down on cornmarket or the in westgate), but they do ice coffee. there are sometimes also variability in the coffee quality from extremely good to very subpar, but I think that usually happens when a new barista is in training. also as I said during peak hours it can get incredibly much to do, but the staff is always really efficient, so they keep waiting times really low. overall my favorite pret for interior seats, food selection and personal, but the coffee is better in the smaller pret further down in the cornmarket street.

This Pret is very traditional and unique. The building is beautiful and the food and drinks are consistent with other Pret locations I've visited. However, because the building is old, it can get quite hot inside, especially in the upstairs seating area in the afternoon. The toilet facilities are in need of improvement. Overall, I give it 4 stars because the food and drinks are always great!
