Down Goes ANOTHER Pret a Manger location

By Prince Of Petworth


18th and M Street, NW

Ed. Note: The most recent Pret closure (1828 L Street, NW) prior to this one was reported on back in December.

Pret a Manger opened the 18th and M St, NW location back in February 2016. Prior to Pret the space was home to a Caribou coffee.

“18th and M is your local coffee shop, providing a wide variety of breakfast foods, a great selection of homemade sandwiches, and the best organic coffee. So, whether you’re looking for coffee near you, or want something fresh for breakfast or lunch, visit our 18th and M store. See our full menu for our delicious range of options.”
