Great spot for simple French fare. Excellent for coffee/pastries and a great magazine selection. The fact that they sell Lucky Peach rules!

Great breakfast, free wifi. Always enjoy coming to Cafe Presse for the delicious baguettes and decadent Croque Madames. Free wifi is a nice bonus, even if I would prefer the NW Stumptown to the (still quite good) European blends used by Presse.

food always hits its mark. i love presse! I love Presse! The mussels,the sardine salad, the rillette, the cold chicken! I can't get enough. The food follows the seasons and always hits its mark! And whoever that blue-eyed hostess is, I'm sweet on her.

Surprising. I was a little hesitant to try this place because of some of the not-so-stellar reviews here and because I know so little about French cuisine. I was enormously and pleasantly surprised. My friend and I had dinner at around 8:00 last Friday. We immediately got a table. Our waiter was really friendly and suggested a great bottle of wine and a starter of chicken liver terrine, which was excellent. My friend had the mussels and I had the pork loin. The mussels were tender and juicy in a broth with a hint of orange and came with amazing fries with mayo. The pork, juicy and perfect, was baked in a rich cheese sauce with potatoes and cauliflower. The service, in general, was simultaneously attentive and laid-back and lacked any attitude. All in all, it was a great experience. I will certainly be back.

Wonderful people and wonderful food. I love Cafe Presse and don't know what I would do without it. Everyone there is so amazing and friendly. I particularly adore the platinum blonde, I think her name is Heather. I agree with girlkitty! I remember Heather from Pichet too. Everyone there always takes the time to say hi and see what we need. And the food and wine? Out of this world, and such a great deal!

And Cameron's hot.
