Reason I love London #34

Pret a Manger, or as its simply referred to, Pret!

Ham and cheese with mustered 'toastie' with grape and elder flower soda--YUM! 

I know, I know, it's a massive chain, and they quite literally blanket the city. They're all the same, they don't have a unique feel in each location, and they have probably been responsible for more than a few 'oustings' of small family-owned cafes and restaurants... but I can't help but love them!!

If all they had to offer was their almond croissants I'd still have to love them, but they have so much more good stuff! Delicious panini's, fantastic coffee, fresh ingredients, and a strong emphasis on purchasing locally grown produce and reducing waste--what's not to like!!

When I return to the states, I will no doubt suffer a sever case of Pret-withdrawal!!

Cheers,
