Pret A Manger

You know the drill with Pret, but this Swan Lane location is genuinely convenient when you're cutting through town or need something decent before heading into the office. It's positioned right in that sweet spot of Guildford's town centre where foot traffic is constant—tourists, commuters, the lot—which means the counter staff have got their rhythm down to a fine art. The sandwiches are consistently solid (their All Butter Croissants are genuinely good), coffee's competent without being pretentious, and you're in and out in five minutes flat. Nothing revolutionary, but that's sort of the point.
