This was my second time at Press and it was just as good as the first! My friends and I arrived right around 9 am on a Saturday, and it was already getting pretty busy. If you want to grab a table on the weekend I'd recommend coming early. I usually don't like ordering online/from a QR code if I'm dining in person, but their online ordering system was pretty easy to use. I ordered the chicken Florentine savory crepe which was one of their seasonal options. The food came out quick and the crepe was delicious! It had so much flavor and was very filling. I like that they allow for their menu items to be customized, and that they are mindful of food allergies. My second time at Press won't be my last, I'll be back for sure!

Great coffee spot conveniently located right next to the ballpark. It was a gorgeous morning and although the place was crowded, the staff kept the line moving and didn't skimp on quality. We were able to grab a table outside and enjoy our iced coffees and crepes. This is the kind of spot you wish you had on the corner of your street because chances are you'd be there just about every morning! Excellent way to take a break from shopping in the Tobacco Factory area.

This place is amazing. There is along wait for this place and it was worth the weight. ther service was emaculate ! Their Salted Pistachio Mocha Latte is a must try ! We sat outside- we got three crepes two savoury and one sweet. the crepes were thin and with the right crisp. This place did not disappoint .

This place was SO wonderful from the food to the server to the experience. All around amazing. Our food was fantastic, as well as our coffee. And the best part: they gave us a blanket since we chose to sit on the patio rather than wait for an inside table! Literally the nicest people working here.

This place is very near and dear to my heart because I was one of the first people to go to the graham location in my hometown and to see this place not only come to Durham my new home but Raleigh too amazing. So let's get into the food I was so full as just the hash waffle but I was so please because it was different from anything I've seen. The flavor you can just eat just that and be satisfied beyond belief. The Hawaiian crepe I was worried about ordering in so glad I did having the flavored of smoked bacon and pineapple never fails and this is a great seasonal option the menu is vast! Please try all you can! The service was the best I've seen I want to shout out Lily!! Ask for her she was so knowledge about the menu and another plus she is from my hometown!!! We got to bond over the graham location and the difference. She knew that menu and guided us through a wonderful first time experience! She is the BEST. We sat outside it was cold and rainy and she made that experience so much better she got us blankets and helped us with the heater to make sure we were having a great time and very attentive. The inside of this place is huge!!! It's so well loved that the wait was an hour but we got seated in 30 mins easy! They let you go in get coffee to wait. we had a peach latte and stood at the bar and just marveled at the place. I will be back! Thank You!!!

I stumbled on this spot when looking for a place to work, drink coffee, and order a little something to eat in the Durham area. So thankful I did!! I arrived around 730 AM on a Friday, very quiet so o was able to pick where I wanted to sit. This restaurant has the QR code ordering service where you can start a tab alone or with a group and place orders as you go. I ordered a flat white with lavender and the BBJ&M crepe (pictured) with an over medium egg. Both the drink and food were delivered timely and I thoroughly enjoyed each item. The bacon jam in the crepe is so savory, paired with the Brie cheese and tator tots. I would order this again 100% BUT maybe split it with someone, the portions are huge!!

Cute place to come grab a quick brunch or lunch with friends or a date !! The servers were friendly and the food came out really quick. We tried the south by southwest crepe and down home crepe, both were very tasty and also filling !

A business partner and I decided to try this place out and have our meeting there because we both love crepes. I drove from Cary to Durham to go (a 30 minute drive at the least). I was seated directly and waited for my business partner to arrive. Once she arrived, we both ordered using our phones. They have a QR Code at the table that you can scan to place your order. When you order, they give you all kinds of options to add to or take away from the components of your crepe. I ordered the Herbivore Crepe and the only change I made was to have brie cheese instead of the goat cheese that comes with it. I had to pay $2 more to have the brie cheese. I also ordered the Salted Pistachio Mocha Latte. My drink came out first, then my partner's drink. Then they brought out a crepe order and put it in front of me and called it the Herbivore. I took my pics and while I was looking at it I was thinking I did not order sausage or eggs that I could see on the side of the crepe. I cut into it to see what was inside and it was not my order. It happened to be my colleagues order. So I gave it to her. THe serve then came out with another order which I figured would be mine. But, it was topped with two over easy eggs. I did not order it. The server informed me it was the Herbivore and I responded, I did not order that particular crepe because I did not order eggs, I do not eat eggs. She insisted it was my order and I said yet again, No, that is not my order. I repeated what I did order to her. So she took it back. She finally came back with a 3 crepe and placed it in front of me then walked away. I looked inside the crepe to see it was feta cheese instead of brie cheese. So, I had to get up and go over to the server and inform her that the order was STILL WRONG. She said to me, no, it's correct. I told her it was nopt correct because I ordered Brie cheese to replace the feta cheese. She then said to me "The chef told me it was brie cheese, I'm almost positive it's brie cheese" My response was "almost positive is not good enough, I'm positive it's not brie cheese and I cannot eat goat cheese so you need to be absolutely positive, not almost!!!! Not only that, I paid $2 more for Brie cheese and I was going to get what I paid for!! At this point I was so infuriated that the server was insisting I was wrong that I would have left the building if I had not driven so far and needed to have my meeting with my colleague. Finally, the 4th attempt to serve me was made and someone came from the kitchen to place it in front of me. They didn't say a word, just sat the plate down in front of me and walked away! It was however, correct this time. When I went to pay my bill, I was thinking that after having to eat my crepe after so many errors on their part and my colleague had already eaten hers, I was think they would at least discount me because of all the trouble. But, no, I was being charged full price and they were suggesting a 25% tip on top of it bringing my bill to almost $27. I customized the pay and skipped the tip. This is not something I like to ever do, I always at least do 20% tip. I have children in the food industry and I know they work hard to make their tips. But after the way I was spoken to and then ignored and not even checked on to make sure the food was ok, I was done. I contemplated asking for a manager but I was so irritated and ready to leave after the confrontations with the server that I just said forget it. After all is said and done, I will never go back to this place. The business owners need to teach their servers how to deal with customers. I have worked in customer service all my life and the customer is always right, even if they are wrong and you do not argue with them. If I was wrong, I would willingly admit it, but I was not wrong. There was no friendliness at all. I know my food (I work in food, I develop recipes, I've cooked for over 35 years of my life!) I know the difference between goat cheese and brie cheese and I know when I did or didn't order eggs!!

I have always adored the food at Press. It is still delicious. That said, today was my first time going with the new digital ordering system, and I have to say, it was a challenge. It definitely diminished our usually stellar experience, and may even lead me not to come back again. I am not against these kinds of ordering systems on principle, however, I am not sure that the execution matched the intent in this case.
Loved this place. Enjoyed an affogato and a hot blackberry ginger lattee here recently.

Food was good but service was slow. First I was asked to scan a barcode to order stuff, fine I could do it. But after 10 minutes spent and all things were put in the bucket, a waitress came over and said she would do the order, so why wasting 10 minutes then? And everything was just so slow, wouldn't come back or recommend. The food was actually just different than other Cafe, guess it was good, but I couldn't compare, not my type of food tho.
