" I recently visited French Press Bakery & Cafe and was captivated by the range of pastries they had. The croissants were flaky and buttery, truly reflective of authentic French recipes. Their cappuccino? Simply divine. The service was friendly, though a bit slow due to how packed it was. Overall, a great place for a cozy morning brunch with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem this little cafe is! The outdoor seating is perfect for socializing, and I loved their pastries! The coffee hits the spot, equally enjoyable. The quiches are highly recommended if you’re after something savory. The staff was attentive, and it felt like a community spot more than just a cafe. I can’t recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my experience at French Press Bakery. While the ambiance was lovely and inviting, the food didn't quite meet my expectations for authenticity. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant but found it lacking that genuine French touch. However, the coffee was outstanding. The staff was polite, yet not particularly attentive. I might give it another try, looking forward to their signature pastries next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This cafe is quaint and charming, but I had a disappointing encounter with the service. While waiting for my order, I noticed that the staff seemed disengaged. The pastries looked delicious, and my latte was tasty, but I wish the service matched the ambiance. I might give it another shot as the food is worth it if I’m patient enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit left me craving more of their pastries! The chocolate croissant was pure bliss, and the avocado toast was a nice twist on a classic. Don’t forget to try their peppermint mocha; it pairs beautifully with the pastries. I can’t wait to return and explore the rest of their menu. Definitely one of my favorites now! " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered this cafe while exploring the neighborhood. The vibe was laid-back and pleasant. I enjoyed their raspberry tart, which reminded me of the French patisseries I visited in Paris. The coffee was also nice! The only drawback was the limited indoor seating. Overall, a peaceful spot to unwind. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my favorite place to grab coffee. The vibe didn’t resonate well with me, despite the decent quality of the drinks. I think the space could feel a lot more welcoming with the right decor. My coffee was satisfactory, but I wouldn’t say it was much better than my go-to cafe. I’m glad I tried it, but I probably won’t be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)
