Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly, efficient staff, who keep long morning and lunchtime queues moving so waits stay short. One regular describes ten years of consistently good visits. Coffee comes close behind, with a few calling it great for a quick stop, and the pistachio loaf cake and the sandwiches also earn praise. Seating inside and outside overlooks the park and canal. The criticism centres on service and order accuracy. One group was told the shop was closing less than ten minutes after they arrived, and the website had advertised a different closing time. Another says their order came out wrong, with watery, unflavoured drinks that looked nothing like the menu images. A delivery customer received a breakfast sandwich with noticeably less egg, bacon and sausage than the in-store version a friend bought the next day, and Uber Eats declined any resolution. On the positive side, one visitor recalls a staff member chatting about the Christmas menu and handing over a Cinnamon Crown to try.

“I was really disappointed with my recent breakfast order from Pret A Manger via Uber Eats. The sandwich I received looked nothing like what I expected. It had noticeably less filling and looked poorly prepared. As I was at work, I had no choice but to eat it. To make sure this wasn't just a one-off expectation, my friend visited a different Pret branch the following day and bought exactly the same breakfast sandwich. The difference was shocking. The one purchased in store was much fuller, with significantly more egg, bacon and sausage, and was much better presented. I understand there can be small variations when food is prepared by hand, but this was far beyond a normal difference. Customers ordering through Uber Eats should receive the same quality and value as customers buying in store. Sadly, Uber Eats declined to offer any resolution, which made the experience even more disappointing. I hope Pret investigates this because I have always expected much better from the brand.”

“Pret A Manger Media City — the coffee is consistently great and perfect for a quick stop. Service is fast and reliable, and the overall vibe is easy and convenient. The pistachio loaf cake is absolutely amazing and definitely the standout drink. A solid place for a quick coffee break.”

“I have been to the Pret in İstanbul and others in Manchester but not in this Salford quays branch.. Not good service at all. They didn't understand the order nor did they care. We didn't get what we ordered, it was no where close to the images and descriptions of the drinks. The staff and vibe was unfriendly and drinks were watery and not flavoured. Toilets are not in good condition.”

“went in today. told to take the dog out as "all dogs are unhygenic". When noted that assistance dogs are allowed in pret, i was met with " only with proof your disabled" Awfully rude & very poorly trained or educated staff who need to check the equality act 2010 before telling people to provide proof of disabilities”
