The Press - Pleasanton

Matcha: warm and not too sweet or bitter - perfection!Turkey avocado pesto sandwich: decent but couldn't really taste the pesto since it was on the avocadoSide salad: elite!Definitely a top tier cafe that I would go to again!

Three cheers for gluten free options!!! Ok so let's start with the parking, service, and vibes. Parking was moderately easy in a shared lot of a strip mall. You wait in line to order at the counter, we waited about 15 minutes. Once you order, you receive a number and find a place to sit. It's hard to find a place to sit. But we did. The service was very friendly. They affirmed my items were gluten free at every juncture. The food itself was great. I had a toastie with beet, goat cheese, and citrus. It was delicious. I thought it wouldn't fill me up but it did. I also had a matcha latte-- be warned that they did not even add a little bit of sweetener, so it was very savory and a little bitter. I was fine with that but it was unexpected. We also tried the gluten free mocha coffee cake which was pretty good for mochi based bread items. I can't wait to come back here. They have so many gluten free offerings it feels like you're just a normal person who gets to order anything that looks good.

This is my second visit.Every time I visit my sister, she takes me to this place for breakfast.I had different types of food, and they were great.The coffee is also good and fresh!

I came here for the first time on a Saturday mid afternoon, around 2 pm so shortly before they close at 3. We sat outside with our two pups, there were gas heat lamps by some tables but not ours - it was okay but might have been nicer and cozier if they had them at more tables. I went in to order and it was easy to order and pay, serve yourself water and bring the number to your table. Someone then brings your food out to you. The food came out quickly and it was delicious and visually appealing as well. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more on the menu!

Came here for lunch on a weekday and it was packed! We waited about 10 minutes in line. I ordered a half and half with the Bee Sting Panini and the Turkey Pesto Panini along with a tomato soup and it took about 5 minutes to arrive. The tomato soup was a bit light for my taste as the first few bites were great but then it tasted really watered down and not a creamy texture like I would've wanted. However, both paninis were delicious! They were on the thinner side which was nice and they were cut into 4 different pieces. The honey on the bee sting panini was super unique and the flavors blended really well together. I really liked the turkey pesto sandwich as well but wish there were more toppings inside. Overall I had a great experience here and would come back to try other things on the menu!

I've discovered this spot a couple years ago by a friends' recommendation and it's since been a regular breakfast/brunch place for me whenever I'm in the bay. I currently love their seasonal eggnog mochi donut and eggnog matcha latte, the spiced flavors of both are tasty yet not overpowering and makes for a nice sweet treat in the morning. They always have a good selection of bakes, and the banana pecan bread pudding is decent as well though not the best I've had. My go-to order will usually be the breakfast Sammie with sunny side up eggs and avocado or the shroom-egg toast. They make for a very filling meal, and I especially like the sauce and use of greens with the perfectly scrambled egg on the toast. The avocado citrus goat cheese toastini is also decent, and I did not expect to like the pairing as much as I did. It does get pricey for a breakfast meal though it's definitely a good local spot for breakfast that is worth every penny. It gets pretty busy the closer it gets to the weekends, and there's always consistently a good amount of people throughout the day. The atmosphere is lively with people working on different things on different tables, and it makes for a comfortable third place. You walk in, order at the counter and find an open seat with a number sign that the servers bring your food to. I highly recommend checking this place out at least once.

Came here for a lil brunch date with me and my bestie!! I absolutely love it here, perfect breakfast spot!! I usually come here with my bby but it was a girls day out! When we walked in you can see the line out the door. So many ppl, that's when you know it's a good spot to grub. The lady at the front where you place your order and you pay for your meal at that exact moment. The cashier was absolutely amazing. She had great customer service answered any questions we had. I ordered the breakfast Sammie sandwich with bacon and my best friend ordered avocado toast with goat cheese. She swears by it and says that it's so good! Of course she had to add an extra over easy egg to her toast. That girl love her eggs lol. I ordered hot chocolate because I remember it was so delicious the last time I got it sadly it didn't come with whipped cream, but it didn't really need it. My best friend got the Matcha latte with almond milk, of course. We were lucky to find seating and there was free complementary water, self served. I absolutely love the atmosphere here and the little patio on the back but it was a bit too cold for me to sit outside so I wanted to sit inside. We didn't wait too long and we got our food. My food was A1, I got full with half of my sandwich and I had to take the rest to go. My best friend she devoured her food absolutely loved it, said it was just the perfect amount of food. Not to mention the drinks, I absolutely loved my hot chocolate. It was perfect. I had it with oat milk and it was not too sugary, which was a plus. My friend absolutely loved her Matcha latte with almond milk. I absolutely love their pastries and highly recommend to get one for the road. Definitely a spot where you could bring your loved one or a close friend or a small group of friends to catch up and have a delicious food!!

I remember having fond memories of The Press from when I visited when younger, but it had been so long I don't remember too well. I decided to come back after a Black Friday shopping sesh and this did NOT disappoint. It's quaint and service is pretty good.FAVORITE ITEMS:- TURKEY PESTO: nice pesto with cheese flavor, perfect if you love a savory sandwich.- TURKEY CRANBERRY: nice sweet/savory blend. - TOMATO SOUP: creamy, flavorful, savory. If you like tomato basil soup, this is definitely for you.** fyi you can do half/half to try different sandwich flavors, which I think is so awesome. the sandwiches at first look small but they are deceivingly fillingPARKING: good amount of parking in the lotPRICE: the sandwich set was around $16 which is definitely a good deal given how tasty/filling it is. Overall, I will recommend this spot for sure if anyone ever asks what is good around here. Definitely would come back!

This cafe has a lot of interesting items to choose from. I opted for their Ruben and it wasn't something I'd order again. The tomato soup and mochi donut along with the avocado toast with orange was very flavorful.The service was friendly and items came quickly. There was a good amount of seating inside and outside. The ambiance was casual and cool--a great place to spend time and chat with friends or do some work on your computer.I'd come back again to try their more unique items.

The Press in Pleasanton is a charming spot with a welcoming atmosphere, ideal for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. I tried the avocado and egg toast, which was beautifully presented and made with fresh ingredients. However, it fell a bit flat in the flavor department--it could have used a touch more seasoning or an extra element to elevate the taste.Overall, it's a pleasant place to grab a bite, but the dish left me wanting a little more zest to match the café's otherwise vibrant vibe. A solid option if you're in the area, but there's room for some improvement!
