I would like to write about the café that impressed me and became dear to my heart when I went on a trip to London. If I had better English, I would be able to convey this feeling better! I hope to improve my writing skills and correct them someday.

FOR ME THE BEST CAFÉ IS “PRET A MANGER”.
It’s a café with an incredibly large number of shops that can be found everywhere in London. While writing this article, I miss PRET so much that makes me want to cry. I would like to write about the PRET, which I went to almost every day during my trip.
And yet there is not a single photo. For some reason, I didn’t take pictures. It’s regrettable and disappointed.
Encounter with the cafe
In May 2023, I went on a trip to London and Paris alone. We arrived at Heathrow Airport and headed to my hotel near Earl’s Court train station. I left my luggage at the hotel and was looking for a café to have a late breakfast at some café. That’s where I first met PRET. However, I thought, “It’s a European chain restaurant in terms of atmosphere, the taste is reasonable, and the price is reasonable too. It would be a shame to go on a trip.” After that, I went to there four times during my five-night trip.
First time entering PRET
The next day was planned to go to Buckingham Palace and looked for a café to have breakfast. I thought the café near the Palace would be crowded, so I went to the POAL near Earl’s Court station, which I saw yesterday. POAL is also open in Japan, so I thought it was safe to try it. However, when I arrived at POAL, there was a line outside the store. In addition, orders had to be placed by talking to the clerk in the showcase. So I hesitated to enter the store. Then, I had no choice but to go to PRET, which I saw yesterday. However, it was this encounter that enriched my trip.
PRET had a large amount of sandwiches and salads in a refrigerated case. Moreover, there were many types of sandwiches and buckets available. Somehow, I ended up choosing bucket cheese and salami or bacon and café au lait.
Shocked by the high quality of bread
I was really surprised when I tried the bucket. The cheese and salami were also delicious, of course, but the bucket was really delicious. I was surprised. This was not bread from a chain store, but a quality sold at a particular bakery. Again, no pictures. Because I never thought I would be so impressed. Because I had heard rumors about British food.
The second time I entered the store was that day. We took a break at PRET, which was there while walking from Buckingham Palace to Big Ben.
When I looked it up, I found out that PRET originated in London. And I went there almost every day, saying, “I have to go while I’m in London!” Located near any station, PRET is easy for tourists to enter, and the customer service is friendly to the staff. I fell in love with everything about PRET.
Also, I learned about flat white at PRET. I have been ordering flat white since my second visit.
Farewell to PRET
I went PRET three times by the last day in London. I was really sad to say goodbye to PRET. I went to St.pancras station to go to Paris by Eurostar. There was also a PRET at the station, but I gave up because of the queue. Then, I left London and passed through immigration and baggage inspection to get to Paris. When I was looking for an empty seat in the waiting room, there was a PLET at the very back. The shop looked shiny. Of course, I bought a bucket and a flat white and boarded the Eurostar.
PRET healed my heart and tired legs that had been tense from sightseeing alone. I was Impressed by the fact that we met again at the end of my departure from London, I headed to Paris.
Reunnion with PRET in Paris
There was also a PRET in Paris. Near the Opera Garnier. I was surprised when I saw the PRET for the first time in a day. I was happy and relieved. I felt as secure as when I was a childhood friend. But I didn’t go to PRET near the Opera House. I can’t express it, but I feel independent. “Thank you for healing my mind and body back then, but I’m okay now. I’m enjoying Paris.” I told the shop in my heart”
DEAR PRET
Dear PRET A MANGER
See you again in London someday. But you can come Japan. Look forward. With big Love for PRET,
