We really enjoyed Cafe Presse - so much that we visited twice this past weekend! In a city known for all things coffee, we felt that Cafe Presse served the best cappuccino we had all weekend! We went for brunch Saturday and had a really great meal - croque madame and wonderful pastries. We went early on Tuesday and the... More

After 15 or more visits, we feel qualified to rate this excellent bistro. Far better than one might expect for such an unpretentious locale with many hits and few misses. The service is always spot on, an excellent albeit limited (appropriately) wine list . . . by the glass, demi or full carafe or bottle. And all at remarkable value.... More

We visited on a rainy Thursday in January. The cafe was jumping. Space is tight but cleverly used. Layout simple, clean. Seating is tight. The staff were friendly and pretty responsive. Food was great for bistro fare, and the wine list good. They have wine by the carafe, which was convenient for 3 people who had to work next day.

I have been told that this was a place that I had to visit for some time and as it turns out I finally had the time. Took a late lunch to check out some of the food. Pretty unassuming layout and ambience and was welcomed pretty quickly by the wait staff. As a solo visitor it was nice to... More

but wasn't impressed with axou d' Espelette-(ground veal and beef)-tasted like salty sloppy joes, and palourdes sautees aux e chalotes (hama hama clams with chorizo) was quite salty so that you couldn't really taste the dish for the salt. We got a glass of white wine to share and the gateau au fromage blanc (goats milk fromage blanc cake) that... More

I like Presse other than the service. Really really horrible. Takes forever to get water, get food, and very poor attention to detail overall. Maybe because it's so busy? I dont know my coffee inside out, so I'm not the right person to comment on the coffee. The food, though, is decent. I think the croque madame's are better elsewhere,... More

There are 2 rooms in this casual restaurant. The back room is a bit darker. The front space, with table & bar seating is brighter and a bit more loud. I prefer the back space. We were a party of 3. Very lucky to get a server named Holly. Sincere and very good at her job. The FRENCH ONION SOUP... More

Ate here last night with 2 coworkers. We all found the menu to be a bit lacking as well as the service. We had 3 different dishes. The poached salmon was ok - served on greens with a single small quartered potatoe. Another person ordered a dish that said it came with prawns. What she was served was a skewer... More

Took my college age son here and he loved the Croque Madame and French, French fries with aioli. Eclectic university crowd and really good French home cooking.
