Fantastic service and great coffee. Had a mocha and a yoghurt for breakfast. Really nice after a 11 hour night shift
Well it's about time Cardiff got its first Pret a Manger! It's like we've been living in the dark ages or something and finally, a little piece of this middle class sandwich chain in the city center.
If you've been to a Pret, I assume it's because you've been somewhere other than Wales so you know the drill. If you haven't then it's basically a place to grab something tasty on the run.
They offer a selection of sandwiches, wraps and soups so don't expect to pick up a cheese and onion pasty, instead you'll likely grab a Mozzarella Pesto Bloomer.
The food is fresh and the staff have been trained to be nice to you so you're not likely to get any attitude on a busy Saturday lunchtime, so that's nice.
Can be a little on the pricey side considering they're selling sarnies, but they're made fresh that morning so I mustn't grumble.
Good location, decent grub and terrifyingly insincere staff, Two big thumbs from me.

This place is not particularly cheap, nor does it offer foreign or fun food, but their selection of all the old favourites is not to be sneered at. Their sandwiches and salads are all made fresh on the day, and they have some mouth-watering fillings and taste combinations. I will recommend the tomato and mozzarella salad to anyone.
The staff here are obviously told to ask you how your day is going, which could be a really awkward moment if their staff were McDonalds-like employees. Fortunately, they all appear genuinely interested, even at the end of the day, so you come away feeling valued and friendly.
One thing I have noticed, although I'm not sure if it's just me, but their range of still juices (elderflower, cranberry etc) are impossible to get into! I struggled with a friend to get into my last one, and in the end only hacking at it with a key got us in. So maybe get a coffee.
An added bonus to Pret a Manger is that it's right next to the cinema, so it's great for smuggling food into a film.
