Café de la Presse is an absolute gem that I can't believe I didn't visit sooner! Growing up in the city, I'd often pass by, curious about this charming spot, and now I'm kicking myself for not stepping in earlier. The atmosphere is enchanting, transporting you to another time with its timeless decor and the delightful aroma of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. It's the perfect blend of nostalgia and comfort. The service was fantastic! As first-timers, we were warmly greeted with a smile, and our hostess went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. We ordered a double mocha, an espresso, and a selection of baked goods--including the fluffiest croissant we've ever had! Everything was absolutely delicious. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
Good menu with many options; all prepared with a french flare. Extensive cocktails as well. Always a go to when in this part of town.
The food was delicious and everyone who works here was very kind. The music was just a little loud for me. I'm hard of hearing and it was difficult to hear my friend I was there with some times. It would be so nice if they could turn down the music just a touch!
Walking along Grant St. in Chinatown, my friend saw this place and recommended we stop for coffee and dessert. We ordered Crème Brulee and Chocolate cake, so sumptuous! Our waiter even gave us our coffees on the house since we were celebrating a birthday. How sweet! Nice ambiance, right outside the gates of Chinatown. Good place to return and dine!
Stopped by for Sunday brunch here, including croissant sandwich, french toast, and onion soup. Food is on the more traditional and French side, so expect more classic staples, and your eggs and croissants buttery. Onion soup was great! Portion size is good, so you wont be leaving hungry. Service and ambiance are solid. Quickly seated, servers checked on us, etc. Overall a good rec if you are looking for (more classic) French food.
After a couple of days searching (and failing) for somewhere good to eat, we decided to revisit the first place we ate on our trip. We decided to try the duck confit, steak frites and caramelized croissant pudding. Another first time for me! Duck was salty and delicious. Steak was steak but the croissant pudding was it! So worth it to come back and visit. I was surprised at the low yelp ratings so I did some reading. Most people that left 1-2 stars were upset about something other than either the food or service. One lady was mad about their menu WITHOUT even trying anything. Ugh, try the place. You won't regret it.
You know what's cheaper than flying to France this summer? Getting lunch at Café de la Presse. Go here for the unhurried gallic ambiance, the French brasserie bar and seating, and the authentic food. Sitting in the dining room really feels like one is in France. We used to go here to buy French magazines and be able to order in French, and sadly their press selection is no longer that extensive, and we didn't get the impression that the servers are francophone. But the onion soup, fries, salads, drinks, desserts--those are all still preserved and good. Is it a little pricey? Yes, but it has always been this way, and at least it's one of the few places that has been consistent over the past 25 years that I have visited.
I love Cafe de la Presse. The burger is hearty and delicious. The fries are good too! "The best fries in the world"- my boss. Soups tasted homemade, yummy & comforting. The service is always on point. It was sunny outside so the waiter brought us an icy carafe of water. Indoor and outdoor seating and such a nice vibe (whichever you choose) Great location near FiDi and china town.
Aight so boom. I had the Coq Au Vin wtih Fettucine and the Caramelized Croissant Pudding. 1. The Coq Au Vin with Fettucine was cooked nicely. The succulent chicken and the al dente fettuccine would've been a perfect dish if it wasn't for the bland flavor. The sauce tasted like box gravy with red wine. 2. The Caramelized Croissant Pudding is your typical bread pudding with a vanilla gelato. While the pudding was warm and tasty, it was just too sweet. I would recommend asking them to remove either the caramel or chocolate sauce. 3. The service was great. We accidentally dropped a fork and got another one immediately without asking. We didn't even know that our server saw the drop. She was on point!!! 4. The space is casual yet elegant. On a sunny day such as this one, it felt like a slice of Paris.
