" I attended a small gathering in their outdoor area, and it felt very cozy. The pastries were noticeably fresh, providing a fantastic experience. I particularly loved their almond croissant! I do believe some staff training could help with the service efficiency, as we had to wait a bit longer than expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an exceptional afternoon here. The savory items were as delightful as the pastries! I tried their chicken curry croissant and the flavors were exquisite. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming; I enjoyed sitting outside with my friends. If you're looking to explore the menu, make sure to try the tartine. It's a hidden gem on their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience! I truly appreciated the outdoor seating options. It allowed for a relaxing environment while enjoying a slice of their heavenly cheesecake. The toppings were fresh, and the flavor was perfectly balanced. The staff was friendly and accommodating as well. Definitely a repeat visit ahead! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely spot! Every single pastry I tried, from the macaroons to the flaky croissants, was delightful. It's clear that they put a lot of love into their baking. The coffee was also exceptional, making for a perfect afternoon treat. I would highly recommend French Press for anyone who enjoys authentic baked goods made with care. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh, what a delightful find! This cafe is a little gem hidden away in Needham. The moment I stepped inside, I was welcomed by the aroma of fresh pastries and brewed coffee. I ordered a raspberry yogurt parfait and a chocolate croissant, both of which were delightful! The flavors were fresh and delicious, and the outdoor seating provided a beautiful backdrop for a sunny day. I loved the vibe and will absolutely go back! " (*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*)
