The staff here is always warm and friendly - and the drinks are on point. It's a great spot to grab a coffee, plug in, and work for a couple of hours.

Good Dark Roast, plenty of sunlight, good internet and some parking available. Sturdy tables that don't shake so your coffee won't splash and spill if you drink out of a mug.

I was not impressed with this coffee shop. I asked for a simple pour over, and while I appreciate that the staff worked so hard to make it happen, they did not have the right equipment, and the end result took forever and was mediocre at best. The interior was poorly designed and the area behind the bar was very dirty. In a world where coffee shops can make almost any concoction, it was surprising that they could not make a simple cup of coffee. The staff was friendly and apologetic, which made the experience not quite as terrible.

Good grief, they have an army of people working but they aren't getting anything done. It's as if they are surprised they have customers and need to prepare orders. Kind people but in need of adult management and coaching.

Pretty decent cofee and venue. Decent meeting place. Wish the seats were softer, yet many treat the shop as their office. Will return for the good sips
Came here on a rainy Saturday craving a bagel and wanting to get some work done. There was a good crowd when we got there around 10:30 but we were able to find a table without a problem. The staff were so nice and energetic and the service was quick. The bagel was good and fresh, nothing special, but it hit the spot. Prices are super reasonable and the inside seating is cozy and clean, the windows bring in a lot of natural light, and the tables are spaced out so you never feel crammed, even when it's busy. I had no problems with wifi and it was a great spot to get work done. Their smoothies also looked delicious so I'll definitely be back soon to try one.

Haven't tried the food yet. Just had coffee and a smoothie but both were excellent and counter service was super friendly. Prices were reasonable and the atmosphere is a good, cozy neighborhood coffee house type of feel. Finding enough seating is the only problem. But I rather enjoy the fact that their tables and chairs are not all crammed together so thatcis a problem I am more than willing to put up with.

Great coffee and great food! We got an egg and cheese on a croissant, an egg and cheese on a biscuit, an iced vanilla latte, and a cold brew. Everything was tasty and the service was friendly and fast.

A Wonderful Cafe Experience with Room for ImprovementThis cafe truly captivated us with its engaging atmosphere, friendly staff, and interesting food menu. The range of options was impressive and the quality of the dishes was equally commendable. Our orders were executed with expertise and the balance of flavors showcased the culinary prowess of the kitchen team.One of the standout experiences was trying their juice selections, which were nothing short of remarkable. Expertly crafted and bursting with natural flavors, they were a joy to sip on. Each mouthful was a refreshing experience that made us appreciate the careful thought and precision put into creating these concoctions. A big, well-deserved BRAVO to the team responsible!Despite the food and service being top-notch, cleanliness in certain areas left much to be desired. While the cafe interior, including the kitchen area, was spotless, the state of the restroom was a letdown. We found it to be quite unclean, which was surprising considering the otherwise immaculate state of the establishment. This is a crucial area where the cafe needs immediate attention, as it is a fundamental aspect of any dining experience and can significantly influence a customer's perception of the business.The staff was a definite highlight of our visit. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by warm smiles and friendly chatter. Their professionalism and genuine friendliness added a personal touch to our experience. Their dedication to maintaining a clean environment was evident in the dining and kitchen areas, and we hope that the same level of attention is extended to the restroom in the future.For those interested, I captured a snapshot of the extensive food menu and posted it . You'll find that their offerings cater to a variety of tastes and dietary preferences.To conclude, we truly enjoyed our time at this cafe and the overall experience was delightful. The food, drinks, and staff more than compensated for the one area of concern. However, I trust that the management will address the restroom issue promptly. Once this is taken care of, the cafe will undeniably be a five-star experience.

Press and Grind has a fun and creative interior, delicious breakfast sandwiches, and a great atmosphere. The breakfast sandwiches are build-your-own and the two combinations I have tried were both yummy! One was Rosemary bread, egg, smoked salmon, and chive cream cheese. The other was a sweet potato biscuit, egg, sausage, and plain cream cheese. Coffee was great as well!Parking: There are 4 parking spots directly in front of the store front. When I arrived on the earlier side, it was easy to get one of the spots, but it may be more difficult later in the morning to find parking right at the store.
