Just had one myself. Now I know why this was the first and only time I will be going to Pret. It was good, but best in the city good? I don’t think so…Dunkin Donuts cookies are nearly as good…And those are certainly not “best inthe city” category. Sarah Beth’s has better…WAY better….

This just goes to show you how everyone lowers their expectations because we’re in midtown. I almost broke a tooth on one of their cookies it was so hard – the warming case had sucked every last bit of moisture out of it. Or are some Pret locations just clueless?? I’m talking to you 55th Street and 6th Avenue.

Maybe they can install a “fresh cookies now” sign like at Krispy Kreme? Otherwise they lost me.

I had one of the Pret chocolate chip cookies yesterday, still hot from the oven. It was good. Not totally amazing. But very good. Still haven’t tried Bouchon Bakery yet, but, in my book, the reigning champion is still Levain.

Oh yes, the Pret chocolate chip cookie. It’s all about the warming case.

update: I just went again. They had three left. Definitely fresh out of the oven and then re-enhanced by the warming case.

GENIUS.

just went to get mine at the rock center location. they were out. BUT! some where in the oven, they told us about 15 min. so we waited. and as a thank you, they gave us free coffee (and tea), and we only paid for one of the 2 cookies.

and let me tell you, it was fresh out of the oven goodness. warm, gooey, barely kept its cookie shape.

I KNEW it!!!

After reading the last post, I packed an overniter, threw it in the wife’s Jag and was all prepared to drive up to NYC to get one of these culinarily orgasmic choc-chip delights.

NOW, you tell me they are ALL SOLD OUT! Just my luck.

Oh well. Maybe another time.
