@@shaunaisaJellyBean I mean, you're right, filter coffee is very reasonable. I don't drink black coffee though, and would normally get a latte or something. If I get a small latte and a sandwich it normally comes to like £8. I consider that to be quite pricey for coffee and a sandwich, so for me personally, Pret is a treat! I do love their food, and their coffees are lovely but I just couldn't afford to get it on a regular basis. I am glad to hear that their filter coffees are reasonably priced though, as I'm sure loads of people are grateful for that. xx
Yeah for people who ain’t skint and wanna splash the cash mate I’d rather get a 99p Mayo chicken burger and a 99p fries and coke from McDonald’s lunch sorted mate
Flat white: double espresso with smooth steamed whole milk and a thin layer of micro foam. Lower ratio of milk to coffee than a latte so it’s smaller and stronger, and only comes in one size (usually 6oz) and is always made with whole milk as standard. It originated in New Zealand (according to about 90% of sources). No one can really completely agree on what it is, but in short, the above is whata brief summary based on my experience from working in coffee shops. Some baristas will get really pissed off if you ask for a large flat white, because that doesn’t exist. It should be strong, smooth and rounded and have a velvety mouthfeel. Macchiato: translates as “stained or marked” referring to an espresso being “stained” with a very small amount of milk. Essentially it’s just espresso with a very small amount of steamed milk (it’s the drink with the lowest milk:espresso ratio available in most coffee shops, a cortado is equal parts espresso to milk). There’s no universal rule for the amount of milk used so it varies but it’s usually around the 5-10ml (1-2 tsp) mark making it usually served as a 37ml or 1 1/4oz. Some people characterise it as a layered drink but from my experience that’s more specific to latte macchiato which uses a lot more milk than the espresso macchiato.
The hot chocolate from pret is heaven. My office has a pret just around the corner and I remember going to get the hot chocolate on winter mornings. Now we are working from home. That's the only thing I miss about going into the office
It's delicious (especially with their little sachets of tabasco) however it's such a small portion for the price so I can never really justify it because I need to get something else on the side.
The best thing is the ham, cheese, bacon and tomato croissant--only available for breakfast. So weird because it's essentially pizza. Soooo good. Also the chicken katsu curry soup.
Right! I quite enjoy him in any of the comparing each other X food- he has a way of delivering critique in a polite and light hearted manner. Def has a very good energy to him
Where is the Mac and cheese, that's the best! Or the spicy meatball hot wrap! Who wants a boring sandwich or salad when you could have a hot and tasty snack.
Can you please test everything at veggie Pret as well? They recently veganised all their pastries (the almond croissant is INSANE) and they have some really cool options not available at the regular pret like fake tuna and such :)
I LOVE Pret! Have been going for years! My order now is posh cheddar and pickle (or the falafel and halloumi hot wrap) also the veggie roll with tabasco for breakfast. I always get that dark choc and almond butter cookie (it's vegan!) and cappucino. The salmon salad is delicious too!
As every single Londoner, Pret A Manger is somewhat my lifeline for me. It's just such a huge part of a Londoners life 😂😂. I'm signed upto the £20 a month subscription and its simply amazing. My go to hot drink at Pret A Manger is a Black Americano as I always opt for something healthy. However, I love a Hazelnut Skinny Mocha, Almond Caramel Latte or a Vanilla Skinny Cappuccino
Flat white is two shots of coffee in a café con leche size. A latte macchiato is 1 shot but double the milk than a café con leche. Cappuccino we add coco powder to a café con leche 😊
i used to be a barista! a flat white is the same as a latte but less milk and absolutely no foam (if you order a coffee flat that means no foam whatsoever), and a macchiato is an espresso with some foamy frothed milk spooned on top also the chicken bacon caesar wrap is the best thing pret have ever made there’s no argument
I always find a mocha, with a meal or lunch, is like a dessert.... it’s weird. Have it alone or with a brownie or cookie 100%. Loved this video!! More please 🙏🏻🥰
That was SO much food! Even just a few bites each, and 2 hours, you must have been so stuffed afterwards. I wish, wish, wish, we had Pret-a-manger in the US. I love it whenever I've traveled in the UK. We simply don't have anything similar here. To an American, any pre-made sandwich is looked upon with disdain, suspicion, and disgust... I really want to try the posh cheese and pickle one now.
There are a couple of my favs that you didn't have. The chocolate pot and the popcorn bar are excellent and not too sweet. Although you might want to have a light lunch with them!
I worked at a pret here in the US at the airport before COVID & I was in love with the chicken bacon Caesar baguette but you HAVE to get it panini pressed it’s to die for
I agree! 😂 I currently work for pret and I always toast the chicken baguette, it's just the best item in the menu if u do so lol but we can't do it for customers so i guess they'll never know haha
My fave was the brekkie baguette with avo and eggs, just found out I need to avoid gluten, I love Pret, but they should implement GF rolls, sandwiches and so on
Flat white: Australian invention it’s essentially supposed to be a shot of espresso then with steamed milk with the tiniest amount of froth. However it seems to have more froth overseas from my experience Macchiato - espresso shot with a spoonful of the froth from steamed milk.
Their best soup… definitely the laksa !!!! Followed closely by their Thai green chicken with brown rice soup… yes I have a love of Far East flavours…😋😋😋 best baguette has to be the posh cheddar and pickle… and then the falafel wrap… man my mouth is watering…
You and me both, Tom. Share the love of chrysalism 🏡🌧 Flat white are similar to latte, just less foam. Latte have more foam; enabling them to create latte art. But latte have less foam than cappuccino cause cappuccino have 1/3 of everything (1/3 of coffee/milk/foam). Lol I guess I don't need to explain macchiato since the edits have explained it. 😅 I can't...the first 2 times Tom mention "hoisun" sauce and to only correctly pronounce it at the 3rd time 😅 Anyone feels like Tom's personality is the twin of Jared in LA BZ? 🤔
Hi there! 1 - Yes I do (it’s intense) 2 - I think I inherited my Dad’s metabolism (s/o Pops) 3 - Me and my 3 mates I live with were eating Pret for days! I don’t ever throw it out (I love food too much to waste it) Thanks for watching! 😊
how does it feel to single handily revive buzzfeeduk
This is soooo accurate!!!
Everyone else is doung bigger productions that will be on this channel later
@@Ritaaw1 m
Funny you say that because since he's left I'm finding I'm not watching buzzuk as often anymore.
@@Blitze97923 year update, i completely agree with you😭
So...is this the UK's answer to EAT THE MENU with Keith Habersberger? 😜
Keith started those videos at BuzzFeed so...
Tom is better. 🔥
With a smaller mouth
Avocado is definitely better on sandwiches with crusty breads, like on a panini or something. Gives you a bit of bite to support the mush lol
Yeahhh and it needs to be freshly made
Pret deserves so much more of a rep, best coffee and best food for high street coffee places
Its soo pricey though so I only get it for a treat. Their sandwiches are lush though
@@isabellaevans6897 expensive? Bring your own cup and you get a filter coffee for 49p. It almost costs as much to make at home
@@shaunaisaJellyBean i think they mean the food

Same
How can you not have pastries? No almond croissant. Im so sad
You have just reminded me how much I miss their chocolate croissants
The hot chocolate from pret is heaven. My office has a pret just around the corner and I remember going to get the hot chocolate on winter mornings. Now we are working from home. That's the only thing I miss about going into the office
I literally have a shirt that shows all the differences of coffee drinks and I still don't remember the difference. Ha! So I get it!
The kale and cauliflower mac&cheese is the best thing at pret!
Yessssssssss
It's delicious (especially with their little sachets of tabasco) however it's such a small portion for the price so I can never really justify it because I need to get something else on the side.
Agreed! I live in the Caribbean and I crave this all the time
Kale is disgusting!
Omg yessssssss, I have everytime at the airport, and it is so goooooooooooooood
This could well go down as a historical document of what was once one of the largest sandwich chains in the UK that no longer exists.
They still have shops open - they closed a fair bit also - let's see after the lockdown what happens 😭
Wheres the soups, the mac&cheese, the toasties?!
the Mac n cheese is lenggg
The posh cheddar and pickle sandwich is my favourite sandwich ever!
I'd quickly just like to commend Pret for putting an advert of theirs before this video well done well done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The Chocolate Praline Cookie is to die for.
You have to check it out, it has a gooey hazelnut & chocolate filling. Absolutely gorgeous
Thanks! Thank you for finding things to do and making content during the pandemic. Really enjoy watching you. Sorta a hot mess but also awesome
“ I love the sound of the rain when I’m inside, especially with loads of food and coffee “ haha love it!
The best thing is the ham, cheese, bacon and tomato croissant--only available for breakfast. So weird because it's essentially pizza. Soooo good. Also the chicken katsu curry soup.
YES! The posh cheddar & Pickle baguette is my go to @ Pret! And I’ve never even wanted to try anything else.
I literally could watch him all day! He’s so funny.
Right! I quite enjoy him in any of the comparing each other X food- he has a way of delivering critique in a polite and light hearted manner. Def has a very good energy to him
Nope. He is so over the top is unwatchable. Nothing funny about him at all - if you think there Is you’ve obviously never seen a good comedian.
@@andyrob3259 Yikes, someone did hurt you eh? Ever realised people can have different opinions than you? Doesnt mean they are wrong.
Where is the Mac and cheese, that's the best! Or the spicy meatball hot wrap! Who wants a boring sandwich or salad when you could have a hot and tasty snack.
Right???
Hmmm
The avocado baguette is my favourite sandwich of all time it’s so important to me
The posh pickle & cheddar baguette, with a sparkling lemonade and cheese & onion crisps was my go to dinner break meal when I was working in the UK.
This was useful! Thanks for going through so much food (and drink)!
My favourite is the avocado, tomatoes and olive tapenade baguette

Love the wee words on the editing xx
the dark choc and almond cookie is the best!
The Posh Cheddar and Pickle Baguette is delicious hands down my favourite 😍 the Rolls Royce of Pret Baguettes!
That vine reference tho 👌
Flat white is two shots of coffee in a café con leche size. A latte macchiato is 1 shot but double the milk than a café con leche. Cappuccino we add coco powder to a café con leche 😊
Prets super tomato soup is unmatched
Tom didn't get the one thing I exclusively get at PRET: the Swedish Meatballs wrap. But he did say it was time dependent ahaha.
the posh cheddar and pickle baguette - you are not wrong
3 words- almond butter bites❤️
"The blueberry chasm"!!!
i used to be a barista! a flat white is the same as a latte but less milk and absolutely no foam (if you order a coffee flat that means no foam whatsoever), and a macchiato is an espresso with some foamy frothed milk spooned on top

we demand a part 2 with their pastries!! KWASONS

A machiato is hot coffee on a layer of hot milk with a dollop of milkfoam. It''''''s the best type of coffee to drink, or at least my favourite.
I'm an American, why am I watching this lol
Because the accent is beautiful and....food! 😂 #americanhere🙋🏾♀️
For when you visit in the future ✨✨
Not Yo Average Southern Mama i’m dutch idk why i’m here too

Yes, Tom you legend.
The World needs more of this. Tom, so great!
Omg where are the iced drinks? My go-tos at Pret are their smoothies, iced latte and chocolate frappe! Definitely recommend :)
Posh Cheddar and Pickle is my go-to at Pret. So good!
As an American I was pretty confused most of the time. But its sooo entertaining!
I love Pret’s tomato soup and thier tuna & cucumber baguette.
My fave was the brekkie baguette with avo and eggs, just found out I need to avoid gluten, I love Pret, but they should implement GF rolls, sandwiches and so on
Can I have this dudes job?! 😂
Honestly my favorite item on pret is the falafel wrap🤤 especially on a rainy day yum!! And their tomato and cheese croissant is the best
Yes yes yes!!! I’m vegetarian and posh cheddar and green juice with salt popcorn is my go to order!! So glad that a veggie sandwich won!!!!
I love Pret! Do veggie pret next, it’s so good
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL THE FOOD
THANKS X
In the Nando's vid, he said his housemates eat it.
“Mock-ah” has truly charmed me.
That’s how you say it though haha
@@alliebenson4653 first, thank you for spelling Allie correctly ;). But I feel like I have always heard it “mo-kuh.” Tom added some flair.

Macchiato - espresso shot with a spoonful of the froth from steamed milk.
Avocado in sandwiches is God tier
The little ham sandwich with a soup is my pret go to! Either the red Thai veg soup or the katsu chicken soup!
this is the combo I did not know I needed but that is VERY WELCOME
Growing up with Gregg's, then few up and learned about pret, literally my life now. Soooooo good and high quality 😍
A Flat White is Gorgeous and Exactly how you described it xxx
Their best soup… definitely the laksa !!!! Followed closely by their Thai green chicken with brown rice soup… yes I have a love of Far East flavours…😋😋😋 best baguette has to be the posh cheddar and pickle… and then the falafel wrap… man my mouth is watering…
The breakfast muffin (which I think they binned) was epic.
Tom you Are Our Fave Person on UA-cam..... 🏴🇬🇧
Sometimes I have to remember that I'm an American that follows many foreign channels.
"Wtf is a Pret" was my first thought.
17:10 Tom will you read the tarot cards for me ?? THIS GUY IS GIFTED !! :DDDDD
What happens to Tom at 4pm that he always needs rejuvenation 😂
This makes me miss visiting London so much 😢 Pret and Leon are all I eat over there lol
I fully waiting for the posh cheddar, and then skipped to see the end because it’s my favourite thing at prett
You come across as insanely likeable! Loved this!
I miss my time working in London and hopping in for lunch everyday here
I saw this and immediately thought about James Acaster
"I'd like to manger a free banana!"
The Chocolate Chunk Cookie is amazing 🔥🔥
How could you miss the almond butter bites!!! HEAVEN !
Omggg the Dark Chocolate Almond cookie from pret is the best Vegan cookie Ever created fight me
I like Pret... I sometimes go there to grab a quick bite. I like their Salmon salad, their sandwiches are good too.
Wait what? No cold drinks? they have amazing juices!
The posh cheddar and pickle is my fave, I smuggle them back to the US.
couldn't agree more- its the best item on the menu- i miss it so much
Pret has left Chicago, so we don’t have them anymore. 😭 Now I’m hungry. 😋
I miss Pret 😭 can't wait to travel again!

I have questions. Do you eat all that in one sitting? How do you stay so slim? What happens to all the food that you have left?

Avocado works well in Some thing like a chicken cutlet sandwich or a burger where it has more texture
