Thought I would stop by here for lunch. I'm not sure if it's because it's New Years Eve or what but pretty much the whole City North area was dead. It gave me a weird vibe....but my good soup was worthy of the ghost town atmosphere.
In my opinion, Press can definitely replace Starbucks at all these Scottsdale/Phoenix shopping/dining/living areas. Plus they actually have a lunch menu that is worthy of sampling, so I was psyched!
They had 2 great soups....I had the roasted red pepper and gouda bisque. The gouda totally calmed the red peppery-ness down, yummy! They had a great selection of not your average sandwich- sandwiches. Naturally I had to have "their" version of the grilled cheese. I being the grilled cheese connoisseur, was not that impressed. It was served on a rosemary flat bread that also had a layer of bread between the cheeses. I could do with out that extra layer. Maybe more cheese instead of the bread layer.
I will come back just to try another of their soups, have some wine and sit in the sun and Yelp on my laptop. Hopefully next time there will be more people around so I don't get that weird ghost town vibe.
