" I had very high expectations after reading various reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The eggs I ordered were overcooked and the service was unacceptably slow. I had to remind them about my coffee, and the place was not busy at all. I expected a strong French flavor profile but didn't find it here. The only redeeming quality was the cute atmosphere, making it a lovely spot for tourists looking for a nice photo op. I likely won't return. " (*Curated Review*)

" This café has become my go-to spot during my trips to San Francisco. The croissants are genuinely scrumptious and remind me of those I had in Paris. I had the chance to enjoy the Eggs Benedict, which were cooked perfectly. The ambiance here is lovely, and it’s a great place to unwind with a book. I must mention that the coffee is a solid 10 out of 10! The staff, while sometimes busy, are attentive when you have their attention. I'll definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Café de la Presse and found the experience delightful overall! The croissants practically melted in my mouth, and the ambiance was relaxed. The only downside was that the service could be slow at times, but the food definitely made up for it! If you love pastries and a cozy atmosphere, you should check this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Café de la Presse impressed me with its ambiance, which captures the charm of Paris very nicely! The décor is quaint, and I feel transported as soon as I step inside. I ordered the quiche Lorraine and it was simply divine, with the perfect flaky crust and rich filling. My friend enjoyed the duck confit, which she said was spot on. However, the service left something to be desired—our server seemed distracted and we waited a while to get our check. Despite this, I would still recommend visiting for the food's authenticity alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Spent an amazing evening here with colleagues after a long workday. The ambiance was relaxed but stylish, suitable for a casual dinner gathering. Food was lovely! I indulged in the steak frites, which I can confidently recommend; perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with a hearty sauce. The cocktails were equally good; do not miss their absinthe drinks! Glad I came, and I’ll be certain to drop by again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect little café for a delightful dining experience! I loved how they curated a French style with cheeky service. The food was reliably solid! Tried their grilled chicken sandwich and a side salad which was well-prepared and fresh! The ambiance contributes to making it a lovely space to relax in after a day of sightseeing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely and relaxing brunch with beautiful views of Chinatown! It added such a delightful angle to our meal. The service staff were pleasant, even through the busy rush; they ensured we felt accommodated. I ordered the fruit salad; it wasn’t overly sweet, keeping in line with how I like my meals. I truly enjoyed my outing here and would recommend for anyone needing a touch of relaxation and good food! " (*Curated Review*)
