I'm scoring this highly because it gives the coffee aficionado a unique and prophetic experience. In the future, when we are required to queue endlessly and hopelessly for coffee due to post-apocalyptic supply being outweighed by demand, we will acknowledge that the Waterloo concourse branch of Pret were the first to illustrate this scenario- many years before the apocalypse itself.
I hadn't before realised the extent to which radiation sickness will rob baristas of their short-term memory in the future. This is accurately portrayed by the fact that having submitted your order for a cappuccino, you will be shouted at seconds later to determine whether it was in fact a flat white.
Having placed the order, you will next be directed to one of two concentration areas where you will wait with other desperate caffeine-deprived survivors until your drink and theirs is screamed at you, sometimes in a barely-decipherable post-apocalyptic dialect.
Those in the concentration area on the right enjoy a commanding view of Waterloo Concourse, packed with refugees scurrying to escape the epicentre of the apocalypse just across the river in Westminster.
Those to the left will be instructed to queue in no particular order by the fridges, much to the indignation of other survivors frantically attempting to access their contents in preparation their own long march to safety along the freshly-irradiated South Western Rail network.
When the coffee commandant finally shrieks your order, it will probably be wrong. This instilled in me a moment of melancholy acknowledgement to the scant availability of coffee crops in the future, their native environment ravaged by our super-heated CO2-saturated atmosphere for the rest of time. We will have to make do with what is available- even if it is oatmeal milk.
Overall a 4/5 for me. If Mad Max had joined me in the queue it would have been...
Read moreThe story of my Cappuccino... I asked before order the difference from the Latte and Cappuccino seeing just one size and the barista doesn't know explaining. I asked that because I wanted a strong coffee. In the end I ordered a cup of Cappuccino and when was ready I asked for some Cinnamon on top. DARIA, the barista, apologizing said that they do not have cinnamon just chocolate powder, but in this case is already on top of my coffee. I said No, I don't want chocolate powder on top, and I didn't asked for... She said " that's the cappuccino ".... ohh really?? And she said with a parent's voice THAT'S THE STANDARD IN PRET A MANGER! I was furious and disappointed and I tell her that she should ask before the customers if they want or not chocolate powder on the top but si responding very rude NO... I DON'T HAVE TO ASK.... In that moment very disappointed I asked for refund...well her colleague did and yeahh... that's the last time when I get inside of this shop. I'll never back...
