Stopped in for coffee while on a road trip. Cool little place. They have a variety of coffee/Expresso options. I had the Mocha Latte and a Cortado. Both were excellent! The service was friendly and efficient as well. We enjoyed our time here!

We loved Press! Such a fun vibe, very friendly staff, and delicious coffee. My one recommendation is to update the website to remove the soy milk option from the menu. :) we specifically sought out Press for the soy milk lattes and were disappointed when they didn’t actually have it. Oak milk was a good substitute though. Loved the vegan donuts.

What a laid back & peaceful tiny coffee shop! We stopped in after getting some donuts next door at the Gallery! The Barista was super kind & gave us some fun spots to check out in the city (we are not locals) The iced coffee was wonderful! Stop here for a fun vibe & great coffee!

Had multiple tasty, more classic espressos in a relaxing atmosphere a few days in a row, all good. They also offer a few batch brew options. The single origin I tried was decent. I'll be back next time I'm in town.
