Bicester – Cafes & Coffee Shops
Pret in Bicester is a bit like the inside of an aircraft hanger. This means it is well sized for the scale of this complex. Everywhere else is way too small!
Service here is very impersonal, which is the only real downside, apart from feeling like you are eating in a bit of a barn. We all know that the food is very good – sandwiches are top notch, and the coffee is good if not stunning. You have to go to Spain to get really stunning coffee (why is that!).
If at Bicester, I prefer to take away when eating at Pret. I like the products, but am not convinced by the unfriendly service over all the years I have been going there, or the arctic atmosphere inside the place. If I ever become oblivious to the fact that those feeding me (at a fair whack of a price) don’t care how I feel about the experience, I’ll start sitting down here.
And what Bicester bright spark put a coffee shop next to the toilets?!
