Press Coffee - Skywater

Second to Press Nexa in popularity perhaps but certainly not lacking in atmosphere. Sitting next to Tempe town lake this Press will have all the Press standards with, dare I suggest, a more peaceful atmosphere. Great for studying, lots of natural light and often baristas on rotation between Press locations if you really want to get to know your local coffee crew.

How is this coffee shop not blowing up?! First of all outstanding service from Sawyer and Esli! My first time here and honestly I'll be back! I didn't know what to get so Esli gave me some of her recommendations and Sawyer made the drink and it was outstanding! It taste like liquid gold and definitely fresh ingredients with quality beans! Hands down one of my favorite coffee shops now in Arizona!

It was so great to see a barista take the time to put a bit of latee art into the pour. Most places just slap a lid on your drink, and focus on getting you out the door and on to the next person. It's what a coffee house should be. And the drink was very good 👍

I just had an iced mocha, and it was perfectly balanced. I would surely recommend press coffee for hangouts, coffee dates and coffee & work sessions.

I recently dropped by Press Coffee for an afternoon of studying, and I absolutely loved it! The coffee was delicious, the environment was calm with excellent wifi, and the staff were helpful and friendly. I stayed for most of the afternoon and enjoyed the big, bright windows. I will definitely be returning!

If I had left this review last year, it would have been five stars. The coffee is excellent, the majority of food options are good, the environment has a laid back vibe and the place is always clean.

However, the quality of customer service has dropped off substantially with the new wave of hires, who seem to care more about gossiping than actually performing their jobs. At times it can take ages to get served, even when the place is empty.

Beautiful Location but Coffee Not Roasted Long enough. The Bristol was Wonderful! Prices were decent, More than enough seating, and the children love the outside fountains. oh and praise the Lord for the wonderful air conditioning!

Still one of my favorite indie coffee ☕️ houses in the Valley. Quality is still rock solid. However maybe Covid has impacted staffing or foot traffic.
For now at Skywater no hot food prep. You can get pastry and limited cold prep nibbles.
This location shuttered for a while during the height of the Omicron surge. Rumors afoot that staff was impacted and Press couldn't hire additional staff.
Hope that biz will rebound. Please Buy Locally! We need quality versus quantity!

My drink was delicious (I ordered the Chocolate Peanut Butter Shaker), but unfortunately that was the only thing giving this place a few stars. The barista was a little cold to me, and the wifi was not working. I really only come to coffee shops to order coffee and get work done...so that was a bummer!
If you're just popping in for a to-go drink, I would say this is a decent place for you. However, if you are looking for a quaint environment to get some work accomplished with friendly service, I would venture elsewhere.

Came here for a quick pick me up.

The cashier working at the time was extremely friendly and helpful in helping me decide what to get. I ended up getting an iced mocha and it was great! Would have preferred less ice, but it tasted wonderful.

The place is really quite and peaceful. Also really pretty! Definitely recommend coming here just to relax.
