My go to coffee and study spot; equally charming on rainy and sunny days. Love the windows and atmosphere, and the vibe is immaculate.Coffee’s dope, too. But you might have to fight someone to get a seat in the wintertime.

One of the best Dirty chai lattes I’ve ever had - loved that it wasn’t too sweet ?

Their espresso is stellar. I wish their hours were longer.

Their espresso is the best that I have had in Ithaca, and is the best espresso I've had outside NYC. It has sweetness and fullness, with a very mild tang of acidity. They make sure to give you an actual espresso cup and not a paper monstrosity. I would recommend this place very highly. I think most people treat coffee like a liquid dessert. They pump their full of artificial flavors and sugar, and then wonder why they felt terrible after drinking it. Coffee is an experience. You should enjoy just the espresso, with no additional fluff. Press Café makes it easy to do that. The only criticism I have, and this is truly looking for one, is that I wish they were open longer. If they were open earlier I would give them a lot more business- perhaps every day. If they were open later I would do the same.

Press Cafe was a delightful find while on a road trip (its had to find good coffee when traveling) It is so good to meet and chat with hands-on business owners.Service was friendly and knowledgeable.Iced latte and cappuccino was fantastic!We will definitely revisit Press Cafe when in the area again.

only giving out 3 star cause the matcha latte i ordered isnt to my liking.. it’s pretty sweet and creamy and i don’t feel good after drinking it bc of the sugar. i personally prefer those with a stronger tea base (ithaca bakery has it like that!), with refreshing original flavors instead of add-ons. otherwise, the service is okay; the atmosphere is cute, good AC, good wifi, good sunlight.

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!

Very peaceful café with a sleek, modern, but comfortable atmosphere. The coffee is very good, especially the espresso which is some of the best in Ithaca. The staff are very friendly and seem to love what they do. They also carry a nice selection of coffee brewing items and are the only place I know of in town that carry V60 filters. I also enjoy their art displays.

Excellent coffee, great atmosphere, super friendly and knowledgeable barista. Locally owned and operated. A must visit! (Took a few sips before remembering to take a picture, but nice latte art held up!)

Great menu options and breezy chill location. My go-to place whenever I want to take home the best Matcha and/or Chai Latte in town, no doubt! I've stopped drinking coffee for years so never tried their coffee tho. They also offer dairy-free milk like Oatly for an additional price. Gahh now I miss sipping their matcha/chai, friendly staff too!
