The food was great I’m from out of town the service was also great they took care of me and they made the effort to not forget about other the only thing that I thought need work is the way you order since they only had one register so Line was long overall if you don’t mind that everything is great

The atmosphere is super fun! They have a clean and welcoming environment! The food has always been delicious! I have had their cinnamon rolls, their avocado toast (which is incredible) and a few other dishes. Their lattes are very tasty and their roast for coffee is a very smooth blend! 10/10 recommend for breakfast, lunch, or a quick coffee!

Highly recommend the French Press for catering your events! The catering menu is expansive and very reasonably priced making your dream event menu become reality. Kris, the owner, is also an all star communicator and recipe extraordinaire. You will not regret booking your next catering event with French Press! 10/10 highly highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about this cafe. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was packed with flavor and creativity. Their flavor combinations are out of this world—unique, bold, and perfectly balanced. You can tell there's real passion behind every plate. The staff were just as impressive—so warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. From the moment I walked in, I felt right at home. They clearly love what they do, and it shows in both the service and the atmosphere. This is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. If you're looking for a place that serves incredible food with heart, this is it. I’ll definitely be back

I was directed here by a nice woman at BP gas station, and I am very happy she did! Awesome baked goods! I had cherry hand pie fresh out of the oven and smoked salmon srcable . Awesome good! I had to to take two cinnamon rolls to go! Highly recommend this place!

Food SO GOOD I licked the plate! The staff Rock. It was a festival of flavor.

Such a cute place! Love the laid back atmosphere! It’s a bit of a self service restaurant in that you order first, choose a table, grab your own utensils, sauces (ketchup, jam, etc), and water. They give you a number to bring with you to your table and they will bring out your food. If you order any drinks they will make it and call out the drink order for you to pick up. Their menu is fairly large and has a very unique variety. If we lived closer this would definitely become one of our go to spots!
