Customer Review Summary
Counter service divides reviewers most, and the praise centers on warm, patient staff at the airport branch who smiled, wished customers a good day and reassured a traveller after a difficult early start. Another reviewer describes a server who waited patiently while an order was decided. Drinks and food earn their own mentions, with the toasted marshmallow hot chocolate and an iced chocolate that is not sweet singled out, along with fresh, delicious food and seating that is still available despite construction. One reviewer calls the place crowded and somewhat noisy, but normal for an airport. The complaints are pointed. Several describe surly, dismissive till staff, including one who walked away from a waiting queue, and a stream of wrong drinks with a growing line while a pleasant manager seemed unable to cope. One reviewer's request for an iced hot chocolate with a shot of espresso turned into an argument over whether it was a mocha. The drink then spilled and was thrown away, and the remake was called a mediocre mocha.

“Awful service, awful coffee, tasted like it came from a water tank that hadn't been cleaned in a very long time”

“Terminal 5 arrivals. Surly till staff member, rude towards not just myself, but many in the queue. Aggressive and unpleasant. Staff making the drinks equally uninterested. A stream of wrong drinks and a growing queue of customers waiting for their order. A very pleasant manager, either unaware or unable to cope. Needs sorting out.”

“I was served by Nelsey and serena a couple of weeks ago, in the early hours of Saturday 3rd October in Pret a Manger, terminal 5 Heathrow and I've never met two lovelier people!! The service was thorough, speedy and so very warm and friendly. We got the toasted marshmallow hot chocolate and even at the crack of dawn they were kind and welcoming and went above and beyond, smiling and wishing us a good day. It had been a very difficult journey and they made us feel reassured and so looked after, making an early and stressful start much more comfortable!! Thank you so much Nelsey and Serena, you are an asset to the company and it was lovely to meet you both, your kindness is remarkable 🥰🫶🏻”
