I have mentioned this previously in the Hamra Coffee Shops post but I wanted to dedicate an entire post to the comparison of these two establishments:
Brisk and Pret.
Brisk is an organic healthy pitstop in Hamra equipped with coffee from Canadian Gloria Jean’s. Pret is an organic healthy pitstop all over London equipped with coffee from…Pret. As far as I can tell, Brisk was modeled after Pret because of many similar factors:
1) The packaged-food shelves
2) The recycling project
3) The whole general mission of the place as a business (organic, fresh everyday, go green)
Just look at them here:

| Brisk Packaged-Food Shelves |

| Pret Packaged-Food Shelves |
 |
| Brisk Recycling Station |
 |
| Pret Recycling Station |
 |
| Brisk’s Mission |

| Pret’s Mission |
Seems pretty similar, no?
UPDATE AS OF MARCH 2013:
Brisk now donates its daily leftovers to Foodblessed, a local NGO that gives surplus meals to the needy – another similarity with Pret
