“ As we walked up to the place, I felt a nice Sunday brunch kinda vibe even though it was Monday. We couldn't find parking in the immediate area, so we drove around and ended up parking a couple blocks away. I guess a lot of people took time off for the holidays. The girl are the counter was nice and took our orders confirming everything we ordered. We ordered the panini with 1/2 Turkey Pesto and 1/2 Might Maitake Mushroom with side of organic sitting mix salad, and the Apple and Arugula Salad. It's so nice that they offer half and half selection option on the panini because we get to taste 2 flavors in one order. Even though it was very busy, we were able to find seats at the big table shared with other customers. The drip coffee offered 2 flavors... Dark roast and other option was like honey something... Of course I opted for the dark roast... Lol. We also got some cold water at the self service station. Coffee was very good! In about 5 minutes, they brought out food. I got to taste the Apple and Arugula Salad which was very refreshing. The light dressing with apples mixed with arugula... Yummmm! It was definitely better than my side salad, but I loved both of my panini selections. The flavors of the Maitake mushroom with melting cheese and the crisped bread with their panini press was delicious! The other sandwich selection, turkey pesto, was just perfect! The pesto flavors with melting cheese and the delicate turkey slices were just exquisite. This is a MUST sandwich. There's no mistake about their name! It's definitely The Press, panini press that is.... I will definitely be returning here when I'm in town next town. The only problem is I have to decide whether to order the same thing or try something else like one of their Sammies which are supposed to be good. Well... I won't with about it until I'm back. Hahaha. ”
“ What an amazing array of dishes and each of them so unique. Ambiance is trendy and service is quick. I got a seat at a table quickly. Crowd there seemed youngsters. Big restaurant. I tried their Pear caramel Chai Steamer and Pear Chevre Toastini. Both were really good. ”
“ Yum!!! This place is really good!!! First of all the staff was amazing. I came in with my baby and sat down by the long table at the end. I had a staff member asking me if I'd rather sit on another table and if I wanted a high chair for my baby. That was so thoughtful. The sandwiches and drinks were really good. I had a peppermint mocha and was perfectly made. I forgot to take a photo of the sandwich but it was exquisite. Oh, I also had a lavender lemonade. It was tasty and not too "lavandery" The place is nice and spacious for a cafe. Definitely recommend coming here if you are I. The area. I'll be back for more ”
“ Breakfast at The Press in Livermore was a treat! I started with a cafe mocha that was perfectly silky and sweet without overpowering the rich mocha flavor - just what I needed to kickstart my morning. My entree, the Harvest Pear Panini with bacon and a side of fresh fruit, was a delightful mix of savory and sweet. Service was efficient, though I did have a small hiccup. When I asked about mochi muffins, the cashier told me they only serve them on weekends--despite the eggnog and pumpkin mochi muffins sitting right there in the display case. A little confusing, but no big deal. The festive holiday decor made the space feel warm and inviting, perfect for the season. Overall, a great breakfast spot! I'll be back--hopefully with mochi muffin success next time! ”
“ The food and service are very consistent. I'm no longer live in the area but whenever I came back, this is the place I'd go for brunch. You order, get your number and choose the table, they will bring out the food for you. There is water and sauce station so you can grab them as you please. ”
“ One of my go to places for breakfast or brunch. I love how healthy most of their food items are. My favorite is their turkey cran panini - it is delicious They also have great baked goods. Service is always great, the staff are friendly. Clean restaurant with plenty of seating. They also have a location in Pleasanton which I also really like. ”
“ I usually go to the other location but I love this one too! Perfect oatmeal and I'm so hard to please on that Chia pudding great Sandos are lovely combos Seating here inside or out. ”
“ Great place to get brunch/lunch with indoor and patio seating- order at the counter. They have a drink menu with specialty lattes, pretty lemonades etc. The food menu is extensive with brunch items, paninis, open faced toasts, salads, soups etc. We had a couple of paninis which come with a side salad. The paninis were tasty and came in HUGE portions! For whatever reason it is served as TWO paninis stacked on top of each other. I tried to get my son to order 'real' lunch food, but he insisted on Matcha Chia and I caved in. Glad we got it though since it was AMAZING. The Chia seeds are like soaked in matcha, so each seed is covered in matcha and maple syrup and it was super juicy and addictive. Cool place to hang out and catch up with a friend. They have one location in Pleasanton as well. ”
“ The Press is a nice simple cafe that turns out artisan sandwiches. Mostly street parking only. The cafe has both inside and outside seating options. Though, large parties of 8 or more might find it challenging to sit together. Self-serve complimentary iced water and cups provided. Two spacious restrooms for the entire cafe. The lighting was very good as it allowed for natural lighting to come in. Also, the cafe itself had bright lighting where you could enjoy the ambiance of the place. Order and pay at the counter. You will get your number and they will bring your food/drink order to the table. Turkey Reuben: Acme organic wholewheat sourdough, Hobbs nitrite free roast turkey, sauerkraut, cheddar, house made Russian dressing. It is a healthier version of this classic sandwich. "Four thinly sliced toasted bread gave every bite a nice crunch you would enjoy." Not heavily sauced, so the bread didn't get soggy. "The sauerkraut was subtle" yet blended in nicely. I love the classic with Pastrami or Corned Beef, but this was a good take on the Reuben. Honey Bee Sting Panini: Acme whole wheat sourdough, Hobbs fennel salami, chili flakes, provolone, onion, roma tomato, aioli, hot honey drizzle. This was my sandwich. I love the thick layers of salami and the spiciness of chili flakes. The hot honey drizzle is the newest thing on sandwiches, pizza, etc. This also had the four slices of toasted bread that gave this sandwich the crunch. Turkey Avocado Provolone Sammie: Acme organic ciabatta, Hobbs nitrite free roast turkey, baby arugula, tomato, aioli, house made pesto. My wife enjoyed her sandwich. The smokiness of the turkey, creaminess of the avocado, with the pesto. Mushroom Muffaletta: Acme ciabatta, olive tapenade, maitake mushroom, provolone, onion, arugula, aioli. "At first, it looked like a lot of bread for this sandwich, but as you took a bite of it, it was a flavor explosion of the crunchiness of the bread, freshness of all the vegetables but it was all tied together with the olive tapenade which provided a salty, briny taste that was the star of this sandwich." Tomato Jam - this was very good! I am glad I tried it. Slightly sweetened with apple juice, Apple sauce, apple cider vinegar, or something like that gave it a sweet yet tart taste. Mocha - nice decoration and wonderfully made mocha. Lavender Lemonade - this was a beautiful looking drink. Tart because it was Lemonade, but I liked it as I don't mind tart things. All their artisanal sandwiches were good-sized and full of meat. They were not skimpy, which I appreciated. The prices were very reasonable for the size of the sandwich, and it also included a side salad. ”
“ Great place for breakfast and brunch! I live closer to the Pleasanton one but unfortunately they close on Sundays. Surprised to see this location with a different schedule, I came here in the morning and saw a short line outside. The line went by fast, and I was able to look through their menu before ordering and sitting down. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Once you order, you'll be given a number and the food will be served to your table. I ordered a roast beef jalapeno triple cheese, shakshuka, mochi coffee crumble cake, and two hot graham cracker lattes. The roast beef jalapeno triple cheese was nicely toasted with delicious melted cheese and tender slices of beef. The shakshuka was a bit visually disappointing because it looked more like an egg on top of arugula salad with some chopped tomatoes. Flavor was not terrible, but not something I expected for shakshuka. This is a weekend special menu item! I would recommend their other breakfast items though. The lattes were really good and had nice combination of honey and cinnamon to replicate a graham cracker flavor. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and would love to revisit to try out their other items. ”
