Quick service and excellent choice of food. Very nicely made.
Fantastic place to go! Great food and clearly labelled to suit your dietary requirements. Fully recommend :)
Still the best Cappucino in town - but am sure the cups have got smaller!! The new store refit has more seating now but is still claustrophobicly placed so you can't get into seats close to the wall without moving furniture out of the way. Shame about: the same filthy card payment machines and only 2 toilets for such a large cafe there's always a queue and strong smell of pee. There is a more remote feel to Pret now. Last Saturday 2 teen aged girls with laptops took up a table for 4 whilst consuming their own drinks. Has a nicer atmosphere when it's quieter on a week day.
Food is great - creative and nutritious. Staff always polite and efficient
Many tables rock on unsteady foundations, but other than that it’s a great coffee shop. Deceptively spacious, coffee’s great too.
Typical Pret, busy and noisy. Food is OK but a bit over priced in my opinion, coffee is fine. Nice location in St Albans
love this place good coffee and many choices of food
I cannot commend the staff here enough. I visited at a time when there just so happened to be a slight argument fuelled by a misunderstanding between a customer and a member of staff which escalated way beyond reason. Despite the customer being incredibly rude on a personal level to the staff, they dealt with the issue in such a composed way. My drink and cookie were delicious, but I am mainly in awe of how the staff didn't let adversity affect their professionalism or their other customers' experience. I hope that the customer in question didn't bother you any further- I couldn't stand to stay and listen to her tirade but you all dealt with it excellently.
This is a great Prett with friendly helpful staff. The store is acutally quite big but you will be lucky I'm normal times to find a seat as it is pram city. All your typical Prett food on offer and conveniently located on the high steet next to boots. So if I am visiting St Albans this is always on my lunch list.

Good quality food and drink with a relaxed and family friendly atmosphere. It gets very busy at peak times and especially at the weekends which can make finding a seat difficult. There is always a cue for the two toilets in the establishment which can be frustrating, with people waiting awkwardly in the little corridor outside them.
One barista I have found to be particularly short with customers there on more than one occasion; he was rude when I asked about my order, as if I was being impatient when I simply didn't want to pick up someone else's order by mistake. But overall the staff are approachable and patient and maintain the cleanliness of the restaurant to a good standard.
Like any Pret A Manger, watch out for the steep prices and be prepared to spend anywhere between £20-£30 on lunch for a family of three. But the quality of products is high so you won't be disappointed. My partner loves the coconut latte and she tells me the rest of their hot drinks are just as good. I'm not a coffee drinker myself, however there are plenty of alternatives available including specialty teas and a wide range of unusual soft drinks to help quench your thirst.
As for food, there is a selection of fresh sandwiches, wraps and baguettes but hot food also including soups and baked goods. Salads are available also and of course desserts and pastries.
