I heard about Press through a search trying to find local (non-chain) coffee houses. Yes Press is all that.. a bean/barista aficionado goodness. Yes it is difficult to find up at City North, next to the overshadowing drone of Desert Ridge...Ok but enough about that.
My great gal pal and I went on the hunt for some splendid coffee. I always try the Cafe Mocha, because I feel this is a true test of a coffee house (that is my own weird test, but a good one). The Barista TOOK TIME to make the coffee! WOWEE! That alone was impressive, in the world of fast food and fast coffee somewhere care has been lost. This man cares about his coffee. And the result was glorious, not too hot, not sticky sweet, but a perfect coffee and mocha blend...ahh.
The Egg Sandwich was lovely too...and once again the chef (took their time) to make something.
So the question is will I go back? Yes. I am sad that it is at City North (a virtual ghost town) but I am riveted by a good, make that great cup of joe. I may need to try the wine as well....hum.
