Another great meal at Press, Coffee, Crepes and Cocktails. Parking took a while due to an event at DPAC and there was a bit of a wait. Other than that, everything was fine. We got the traditional waffle, avocado Salmon melt, Strawberry cheesecake crepe and the granny. Pay attention during the checkout paying process. I think they default to 20%, 25% and 30% on their tipping machine. (Not sure if that is a restaurant standard or if the servers can set those amounts. ) Not everyone wants to tip that much by default.

It was amazing! The food was so good. I just want to go there every single day and gain all the weight that I can gain. The waiter Drake was the best. The atmosphere was so awesome. The latte was amazing OMG. I love every manager that came and talked to us. I love every receptionist, it was just the best. If I could I would be there every day all day. It was hands down the best.

Wonderful little coffee and crepe shop. I am not a huge crepe fan so I got the hash brown waffle. Others at the table got he South by Southwest savory crepe and the BBMJ crepe, and the French toast. They were all delicious and so flavorful. We also tried various coffees. I personally loved the salted honey lavender latte. The wait was about 30 minutes during brunch hours. Heaters lined the patio for warmth. Service was great.

Absolutely love Press Crêpes, coffee, cocktails and the people. Everything is delicious, my favorite is the hash brown waffles - only available on the weekend. My daughter loves the sweet crepes and my husband the savory ones. Coffee and cocktails are flavor forward and very well balanced. We love to try the specials. The service is friendly and attentive. They were very accommodating of my allergies and even willing to make the swap out for everyone’s dish at the table so we could all share dishes.
If going on the weekend be aware there can be a significant wait time. They do make it easy with text notifications and tracking link which shows you how many parties are ahead of you and allows you to order to go coffee. Of note,once you are seated you are not rushed or pushed through. The servers are bustling but not harried and are attentive, genuinely nice, and work together to make your experience positive.

Press is, like, the coolest place ever! 🌟 Their vegan crepe is like a superhero of taste – seriously, you won't believe how awesome the veggie combo is. It's like a party in your mouth! The people who work there are mega-nice and make you feel like a VIP. And guess what? The coffee is like a warm hug on a chilly day. Plus, Press sits in the prettiest spot, so it's like eating in a fairy tale garden or something. It's basically the best place ever, and I'm super thankful it exists!
If you want a taste adventure and a good time, Press is your go-to. The vegan crepe is like a flavor explosion, and the service is like having your own food genie making wishes come true. And oh boy, the coffee! It's like magic potion that turns any day into a happy one. Plus, the place looks like it's from a dream – so pretty! Big shoutout to Press for making the world yummier and happier! 🚀
Plus great menu designs as well.

I love the fact that you look at the menu gonin and order first, then be served. For some reason, I feel that it is a very quick way, especially during lunch hours. My bf and I went for brunch, I got the peanut butter banana crepe and the country harvest crepe. I also had Earl tea because I love tea, and my bf ordered himself hot chocolate with a cute design on it and the turkey panini with tots. The atmosphere was casual and cozy area vibe. I would definitely go back when i visit NC again.

PRESS is my favorite cafe in Durham! They always have awesome food and coffee menu, the seasonal one has cardamom plum latte that’s so far the best latte I had at their place. And their brunch is tasty and usually comes in big portion. Try the waffle hash brown - I think it’s the best! The ambiance is also my favorite style. The past couple of times that my friends and I visited have been great experience and we’ve always left with feeling of wanting to come back. The only thing is that brunch on weekends are usually busy; so get there early enough to secure seats!

This place was so cute! I loved how it was right by the baseball field too.
We shared a crepe and it was amazing. The coffee was good too, could be better but overall everything was great.
We’ll be back when we’re in town again!

Beautiful location and amazing food. We shared a variety of crepes, and all of them were incredibly delicious. The line was long because we showed up around lunch time on a Monday, but it went quickly and was worth the wait.
I was extremely hungry and managed to eat two crepes, but I imagine most people would be adequately satisfied with one. Also, it's great to eat outside and watch the little birds hopping around eating crumbs. Would definitely come back next time I am in town!

A beautiful coffee and crepes shop along with a nice cocktail bar. Beautiful atmosphere and decor with some of the best espresso I’ve ever tasted from an espresso shop. Has lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The food looks amazing as well. These guys definitely take their espresso seriously, with also offering a delicious espresso tonic.

Love this place!! The staff was amazing & so on point. We ordered an extra item and when the waiter brought the food, he immediately noticed & corrected the bill without us even having to ask. The food & coffee were amazing...literally everything we ordered was on point & delicious. Can't wait to come back!

Super cute. Nice atmosphere. If I lived in downtown Durham, I'd be here often. Ordered hot chocolate which had just the right amount of sweetness. Carolina comfort crepe and tots:pretty good crepe. Tots were great.
Watermelon guava paloma: pretty good. Refreshing with mint. Not as sweet as I expected which could be good if you order a sweet crepe.
Carolina Reuben. Best thing we ordered. Savory with a little tang from the chow chow. I'd order that again.
Will be going back for sure.

I figured from how busy it was that it was the place to be, and it still exceeded my expectations. The staff was so sweet (not just to us but to each other, which absolutely matters to me), the interior had such a cool vibe, and this was quite literally the first time I've ever had a crepe I genuinely enjoyed. I was going to order a hashbrown waffle, but the strawberry cheesecake crepe called to me and I have no regrets. It was sweet, but not as sweet as you'd normally get from other places, nor was it as heavy and rich (compared to, say, the also delicious strawberry cheesecake pancakes from cracker barrel). It felt surprisingly light and refreshing. I also tried the lavender honey coffee, which was very experimental for me, but it was so incredibly tasty too. I immediately told my friends about this place and fully intend on returning.
Edit: I've been back twice since my first review (which was only a couple weeks ago) and still haven't been disappointed. This is probably my new favorite spot.

My friends and I tried this place for the first time. I ordered a Peach Mimosa which was delicious. We all ordered the country hash crepe which was also delicious. We sat outside the weather and the atmosphere was perfect. Our server was awesome! Definitely worth a visit!

I grew up in Wisconsin; my mother and I would love to make crepes more often than the usual breakfast items, this place brings it back home for me. Absolutely scrumptious.
I’ve been multiple times, love the atmosphere, team members so friendly, and honestly, you can’t go wrong picking anything from savory to sweet to something in between. Today, I ventured to try a cafecito, which was not too sweet, flavors were balanced for being a coffee alcoholic beverage. I love the outdoor patio seating too!

Was in NC! And this place was my life saver at that area for coffee !
The coffee was decent!
At the third day ! I decided to have some food!
And it was a good call.
The food was great! New type of breakfast and not replicate dishes !
The garden dish and and the south ! I liked the both dishes !
The staff are friendly
The place is busy at 9ish
The prices are average
You can refill your coffee as much as you want
You can help yourself with cold water !
It's very nice place that gained my admiration
