The espresso machine was down which wasn’t a big deal since I wanted an iced coffee however the iced coffee was terrible. It had a weird floral undertone that was very overpowering. The baristas/cashiers seemed disorganized and confused. The ordering process was a mess. It took 25+ min for avocado toast and we came at a time it wasn’t very busy.Not sure if it was an off day or what.

The French Press has good food, good views, and wonderful staff. The view of the docks is wonderful and seems to be a hotspot for meetings!

Coffee was tasty and priced right. Also got a little truffle that was super tasty. They were out of bagels so I went for the caprese sandwich; I would skip on the paninis. They were $8-9 and not worth it in my opinion. They drizzled sauce on top of the sandwhich instead of in it which made it tricky to eat. Staff could be a little more friendly/ outgoing, they were pretty straight face & dry during my experience. Inside was very clean & a good place to hangout with a great view of the water!

Nice small coffee shop, stopped in for after dinner coffee and sweet. The brownie was hard and stale but the employee changed out my desert of another item…

Love coming to The French Press for meetings with friends or just some family time. Over the weekend I saw they had had a cotton candy mimosa.Luckily for me they still had it available today.Let’s just say it is dangerously delicious.
It is a rare occurrence when a dining experience transcends the process of “consuming food”. The French Press special buffet on 12/24/2023 was one of these times. On this day a group of six of us were treated to superbly prepared and served food that made a sweet memory of Christmas 2023 for us all. The lobster Benedict was amazing with perfectly prepared poached eggs and generous mounts of lobster. The chorizo mini-egg burritos were perfectly spiced. Traditional offerings of bacon, scrambled eggs, lightly seasoned sausage gravy, along with orange zest infused waffles provided choices to satisfy any taste. There were bagels and lochs, fresh fruit, sliced meats/cheeses and fresh tossed salad with a variety of fruits and nuts added. On the “sweet” side of the buffet we relished a finely baked choice of bite-size chocolate croissants, cinnamon swirl cakes and raspberry-filled beignets, all made on-site by the resident pastry chef. To top this all off the French Press presented us with a choice of world-renowned Norman Love chocolates and orange-cranberry mimosas. The service was warm and helpful which is why we will be back soon to make another dining “memory” at the French Press!

I love the gelato this store offers! The gelato shop comes up with new flavors, and there's always something I like. Me and my neighbor Bradley recently biked here for a daily exercise, he bought me a mango gelato. It was so good! Thank you for your sweet Ice Cream, French Press! It's a nice treat! :)Kid-friendliness: The gelato is always kid-friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: It's all a flat surface to get to this shop. If you park near Rumrunners, you can easily get to French Press with a wheelchair.
