Panera Bread Albans Reviews
Great in terms of chain cafe! It doesn't come across as one as much as other and whilst slightly expensive not much more than anything else and the food is a lot better and a wider variety than lots of other cafes. I really recommend for groups with lots of different tastes, pickier eaters and there are lots of delicious healthy and filling options too.
Well allocated, lovely place for smart working or meets with friends. Lovely food and coffee. Very professional barista staff. Amazing customer service.
Good morning. I had the pleasure of being served at Pret a Manger St.Albans yesterday, and I just wanted to share how impressed I was with the outstanding service. The staff member who helped me went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience. Her friendliness, attention to detail, and efficiency made my visit truly memorable. It's not every day you come across such exceptional customer service, and I will definitely be returning. I managed to read the name of the staff member-Dimitrina. Thank you!!!
Top-tasting brilliant hot chocolate with cream on top of a cappuccino by my top barista Daniel! ☕️☕️👌🏻😋✌🏻 Very nice ambience, however Xmas music is a bit inflational atm! 🎅🏻🎶🤪 hohoho! 🤷🏻♂️🫤
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.
Fantastic place to go! Great food and clearly labelled to suit your dietary requirements. Fully recommend :)
Many tables rock on unsteady foundations, but other than that it’s a great coffee shop. Deceptively spacious, coffee’s great too.
I love the variety of delicious sandwiches and wraps from The Pret. Location is great as it is in the high street but i don’t like their sitting area as chairs were not as comfortable as they used to be and they got too many in sitting area so hard to walk. Ordered breakfast but was not provided cutlery . Do t like their trays which look very unprofessional they should change them and provide proper trays.
I have been going into Pret regularly in St Albans since it opened a number of years ago. I went because I liked the "vibe" in the place. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. I visited last Saturday (27th April) and, as regularly happens now, there is this one female worker who bellows out the name of someone's drink at the top of her annoyingly, screeching voice. (I just don't know how her co-workers put up with this all day?). The place has become dirty and many tables need repaired (they are rickety). Most of all, have a quiet word in that employee's ear. People go into Pret for the experience as much as the food. At the prices Pret now charged for their food, the experience is poor. You need to do better Pret.
Stopped for a coffee and a snack, quite chaotic at the till, no available places, and what I noticed is that several tables occupied by people with nothing on the table or with laptops... Not sure how profitable is for business to have someone buying a coffee and sitting there in front of laptop for hours... Tables where dirty, cups, plates and crumbs... I visited on 1 April 24 as we visited Veraluminium park and the cathedral, and this is my opinion and impression of this Pret a Manger branch... Personal I won't return and don't recommend as I had a bad experience...
Quality of food very low, staff could smile more, shop could be cleaner. If you are charging this much for your coffees at least make the experience pleasant. I probably wouldn’t bother much to leave a bad review if friendly staff. Not the type of vibes you need
One star for nice seating and facilities. One star for nice food and coffee. Lost three stars because I feel ripped off by the pricing - changes every time! Last visit a coffee and smoked salmon breakfast roll £7.50 and I protested without response, today £6.75 - used to be around £4 🤷♂️😣 Won’t by stop there again when a (better) coffee and cake in Nero’s is a £5 plus a loyalty scheme ✔️
Generally OK but not today. Asked for an Americano with two extra shots. Person behind the counter totally confused about what two extra shots meant. Argued with me that there was no such thing, was pretty impolite about it too. Eventually agreed to provide me with a drink containing an extra shot plus another extra shot. Bizarre and embarrassing. Photo of americano with extra shot plus extra shot included to illustrate the complexity of the order 😒
I asked if they could remake my Chai Latte as it was so sweet! The gentleman just rolled his eyes and the lady blamed me for not telling the lady at the front beforehand. I have never had such bad service. This is what you get when you franchise a business and don't get the right training/staff
I’ve been a huge fan of Pret, until I went to St Albans. I bought a sandwich and a latte to have in. Sandwich lovely as usual. I got served my latte in a paper cup. I expressed that I was eating in and would like a proper cup. They then just dumped the coffee from the paper cup into the china cup, spilling it all over the sides of the cup and walked off. All the tables and chairs were all over the place, and some of the empty tables had not been wiped down. Very disappointed!
I never had a disgusting matcha in my life, im thinking the powder is old or very low quality!I’m drinking matcha for years now and i had a brilliant idea to go to pret! Never again! I don’t know how people spend their money every day in places like this!
Tooooooo much wait , and the staff is not telling how much you have to wait more. Today morning , just now I went to collect the order a girl on counter said me wait one minute? After that I waited 10 minutes then I asked her how much more wait, she said 5 to 10 minutes more . She is not giving the value to our time she should tell earlier how long it will take more time. After that I left without collecting order I would not recommend NEVER EVER TOO MUCH BAD BEHAVIOUR 👎
For nearly £5 I’d have hoped for my wrap to not be missing a third hidden behind the label. The guy shouting orders out across the room every 20s seconds is an interesting touch.
Really disappointing visit today Are you aware that they charge at least 25% more if you eat in ?!!!!! I was shocked that my lunch came to £12 !!! When i queried this was told its the eat in surcharge. I never been so lost for words. The macaroni cheese inflates in price from £5.67 to £7.09 Just because you're eating in on a dirty table that you have to remove the previous occupants leftovers and crumbs from, plus the luxury added bonus of a wooden fork to eat with. There's no waiter service and the food is not cooked fresh as you order. This is very poor given restaurants in St Albans offer set lunch menus for £8. I even took my crisps and cake back to work with me, despite having been charged extra to eat those in too. The macaroni cheese wasn't even enjoyable, I suspect sitting in the heated cabinet had made the pasta rubbery and the cheese was all congealed. I shall not be visiting again on this basis.
I love their coffee usually but this time they gave me a coffee that was cold and wasn't a flat white anymore. I drink flat white for years and i know that this coffee was laying around for a few good minutes at least. Disgusting.
