A beautiful coffee and crepes shop along with a nice cocktail bar. Beautiful atmosphere and decor with some of the best espresso I’ve ever tasted from an espresso shop. Has lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The food looks amazing as well. These guys definitely take their espresso seriously, with also offering a delicious espresso tonic.

Love this place!! The staff was amazing & so on point. We ordered an extra item and when the waiter brought the food, he immediately noticed & corrected the bill without us even having to ask. The food & coffee were amazing...literally everything we ordered was on point & delicious. Can't wait to come back!

Super cute. Nice atmosphere. If I lived in downtown Durham, I'd be here often. Ordered hot chocolate which had just the right amount of sweetness. Carolina comfort crepe and tots:pretty good crepe. Tots were great. Watermelon guava paloma: pretty good. Refreshing with mint. Not as sweet as I expected which could be good if you order a sweet crepe. Carolina Reuben. Best thing we ordered. Savory with a little tang from the chow chow. I'd order that again. Will be going back for sure.

PRESS serves the best coffee and crepes in town! Lovely varieties of sweet and savory crepes and coffees on their menu.They do have great options for vegans too! One from my favorite brunch places!

I figured from how busy it was that it was the place to be, and it still exceeded my expectations. The staff was so sweet (not just to us but to each other, which absolutely matters to me), the interior had such a cool vibe, and this was quite literally the first time I've ever had a crepe I genuinely enjoyed. I was going to order a hashbrown waffle, but the strawberry cheesecake crepe called to me and I have no regrets. It was sweet, but not as sweet as you'd normally get from other places, nor was it as heavy and rich (compared to, say, the also delicious strawberry cheesecake pancakes from cracker barrel). It felt surprisingly light and refreshing. I also tried the lavender honey coffee, which was very experimental for me, but it was so incredibly tasty too. I immediately told my friends about this place and fully intend on returning. Edit: I've been back twice since my first review (which was only a couple weeks ago) and still haven't been disappointed. This is probably my new favorite spot.

My friends and I tried this place for the first time. I ordered a Peach Mimosa which was delicious. We all ordered the country hash crepe which was also delicious. We sat outside the weather and the atmosphere was perfect. Our server was awesome! Definitely worth a visit!

I grew up in Wisconsin; my mother and I would love to make crepes more often than the usual breakfast items, this place brings it back home for me. Absolutely scrumptious. I’ve been multiple times, love the atmosphere, team members so friendly, and honestly, you can’t go wrong picking anything from savory to sweet to something in between. Today, I ventured to try a cafecito, which was not too sweet, flavors were balanced for being a coffee alcoholic beverage. I love the outdoor patio seating too!

Was in NC! And this place was my life saver at that area for coffee ! The coffee was decent! At the third day ! I decided to have some food! And it was a good call. The food was great! New type of breakfast and not replicate dishes ! The garden dish and and the south ! I liked the both dishes ! The staff are friendly The place is busy at 9ish The prices are average You can refill your coffee as much as you want You can help yourself with cold water ! It's very nice place that gained my admiration

This place was really nice. I was in a bit of a rush when I visited so I didn’t get to soak up the atmosphere. However, I noticed there were several groups of people that were really enjoying their breakfast, especially the people with a bottle of champagne at 8 AM. I love it. I got a somewhat art deco/turn-of-the-century fancy hotel breakfast vibe which I really liked. With the distraction was there were a bunch of boxes piled up in the back of the dining room, and it kind of pulled away from the decor and atmosphere that I think they’re going for. Overall, the food was amazing and I will definitely be coming back again soon.

This restaurant is fabulous!! The food is fresh, delicious, and made with lots of love! The service is top tier; Drake is a genuinely wonderful person and made our party's experience stupendous. You can tell a great deal of care was put into the food, drinks, and atmosphere of the entire restaurant. I would recommend getting here early to beat the line (at least by 30min). The wait is well worth it, though! I can't wait to come back!! My recommendation: Berries n Creme +🍓 🍌

Beautiful and relaxing eatery with delicious crepes and drinks. I wondered upon this place while exploring Durham and was delighted with the beautiful interior. From ordering to food delivery, the service was friendly and quick. There is free water available on an island which is a great self service feature. I ordered an ube lavender latte and loved how the flavors blended well with a sprig of mint. I also ordered the Carolina country crepe with sausage and absolutely loved the savory meal. Despite being a lunch hour, it was a pretty relaxed vibe with some folks working, hanging out, or just getting a hot and delicious meal. Wonderful little crepe place that should not be overlooked!
