PRESS Coffee Crêpes Cocktails

Loved our experience at Press! We got there right when they opened on a Saturday and I would say it filled up within about 45 minutes. Our server was so friendly as was everyone we interacted with. They made sure our waters were always filled, as well as that we were satisfied. I highly recommend the Toasted Mallow Latte (it was a seasonal special). We tried four crepes - all delicious, my favorite was the classic, but I loved the variety of savory and sweet options as well as a few other things on the menu. Awesome location in a cool district downtown.

Been here multiple times and it has never disappointed me.

The South by Southwest crepe is my ultimate fave. I love how all the ingredients blend together. The creaminess with a hint of spice.

If you plan to have brunch arrive a little early or it might be lunch by the time you get seated. This place gets packed.

This restaurant is fabulous!! The food is fresh, delicious, and made with lots of love! The service is top tier; Drake is a genuinely wonderful person and made our party's experience stupendous. You can tell a great deal of care was put into the food, drinks, and atmosphere of the entire restaurant.

I would recommend getting here early to beat the line (at least by 30min). The wait is well worth it, though! I can't wait to come back!!

My recommendation: Berries n Creme +🍓 🍌

It may not be the cheapest brunch option, but the food is delicious. They have crepes and hash brown waffles that are extremely well balanced in flavor. Vegetarian options are well balanced to contain protein and good flavor. If you go while it's still in season, they make a delicious apple cider and green tea latte.

Absolutely amazing! The sugar plum latte was DELICIOUS with oat milk. I had the veggie medley and added bacon and eggs to it and it was amazing. We had a party of ten and they served us surprisingly quickly. Everyone enjoyed their food. The atmosphere is clean and bright and inviting, and the staff was friendly and warm. I will be back and I will recommend this place to anyone visiting. It’s a defining part of Durham for me now.

Beautiful and relaxing eatery with delicious crepes and drinks. I wondered upon this place while exploring Durham and was delighted with the beautiful interior. From ordering to food delivery, the service was friendly and quick. There is free water available on an island which is a great self service feature. I ordered an ube lavender latte and loved how the flavors blended well with a sprig of mint. I also ordered the Carolina country crepe with sausage and absolutely loved the savory meal. Despite being a lunch hour, it was a pretty relaxed vibe with some folks working, hanging out, or just getting a hot and delicious meal. Wonderful little crepe place that should not be overlooked!

Got here at 1:00 on Sunday and there was an hour wait. It was incredibly busy.

I’ve been wanting to try this place ever since I got back from France. Finally went this morning and was underwhelmed. My table ordered the Carolina comfort, stuffed French toast, avocado toast, and rosemary tots, plus two drinks. The tab came out to over $80 which I think is ridiculous for what we got.

The French toast was cold and sickeningly sweet. The Carolina comfort was decent but nothing extraordinary. These crepes are very Americanized and definitely don’t compare to authentic French crepes.

Overall it was underwhelming for the exorbitant price. I won’t bother returning.

Impeccable vibes and great food. My dad said it was “one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time.” A great way to kick off move-in day!
We came on a Saturday morning around 9:35 and got seated indoors immediately. Service was helpful, friendly, and quick. Drinks came very quick and food fifteen minutes or so after that. Atmosphere is convivial and busy without being overly loud, and the decor/architecture is gorgeous.
Highly recommend!

My friend and I finally made our way here and thankfully it was not busy so it was quick to order and get our food. Unfortunately, my crepe was a lot darker and crunchier than a standard crepe should be. It was difficult to cut and eat it due to the crunch and thickness but the fruit was delicious. My friend tried the Turkey and Brie and her crepe was closer to the standard crepe you think of and she enjoyed hers. The coffee we both had was delicious. Overall a nice experience but not very much consistency in the crepes themselves. We look forward to coming back and trying them again and enjoying other items.

I was excited to go to this place for a long time because of the awesome photos and great reviews. The experience I ended up having did not meet expectations at all.

Overall, the food tasted pretty good, which is why I’m giving 2 stars instead of one.

The bad:
- We asked how long take out would take and we were told not too long. That answer informed our decision to get take out vs dine in. We had our kid with us. In the end, we waited just as long for our take out as we would have for a table.
- The avocados we were served across our two savory dishes were browning significantly or were totally not ripe with the skin not fully removed (see photo)
- The classic crepe with strawberries and bananas had significantly less of the fruit (ignoring the whipped cream since order was to go) than I was led to believe from the other photos on other google reviews, where is the consistency…(see my photo and then photos on other reviews)
- The coffee was mediocre at best. Both the cappuccino and mocha we got you could barely taste the flavor of the coffee. Probably too much milk.

All of these problems shouldn’t exist, especially when you’re paying a price premium. 4 crepes and 3 beverages for $72.

Note: All photos were taken within 5 minutes of getting the food. We ate on site at the picnic tables.
