Press Coffee has been my #1 favorite locally roasted coffee supplier for years now. It's rare for me to visit the coffee shop without also grabbing a bag of their beans. In fact, Press might very well be responsible for turning me into the coffee snob that I am today...
I'm giving Press Tempe a four star review only because the service here has been SOMEWHAT spotty. Never horrible - never even bad. It's just that barista's here have often seemed somewhat... distracted. NOT a huge deal, but I prefer employees who are in LOVE with their brand. And Press is DEFINITELY a brand worth being excited about, in my opinion.
Apart from this minor detraction, the overall experience is satisfactory. The Tempe location is new and bright and modern and (usually) clean. Not far from where I live, so a great place to bring the laptop and work.
Food is only just ok. And only barely that. But I never come here for the food, anyway. Where Press excels is the coffee, so I prefer to stay focused on that.
If you haven't been, it's certainly worth a visit. Press Coffee is the brand I choose any time I wish to introduce my non-snobby friends to "REAL" coffee. ;)
Good job, Press. Thanks for yummy coffee!
