PRESS Coffee Crêpes Cocktails
359 Blackwell St, Durham, NC
Crema's Take
“PRESS Coffee Crêpes Cocktails is a vibrant Durham spot that masterfully blends a serious coffee program with creative French crêpes and a full breakfast menu that keeps locals coming back. The atmosphere is lively and social (sometimes delightfully bustling), with thoughtful touches like QR code ordering that let you choose your own adventure, and the Coronado sandwich and exquisite espresso drinks are worth the occasional wait. This is the kind of place where a solo coffee date feels special and a group breakfast becomes memorable—just come hungry and ready to linger.”

One of the best breakfasts we had in a while. The service can be a little quicker, but nevertheless the food was amazing. The crepes were delicious. Ambiance is quite noisy considering the amount of people. But there are many tables to accommodate and wasn’t much of a wait time when we went on a weekend morning. Parking is a pain here. Would definitely recommend this place for a good breakfast and they do have other branches in and around the RTP area
Wow, we went to a different location but it was closed for the day. We ended up at this spot. The wait was 1.5hrs which I was not willing to wait se we ended up taking to go and eating in the car. HOLY CRAP! I get why the wait was 1.5hrs. Everything we ordered was amazing. I will definitely recommend visiting this spot. I’m not sure if they do reservations. But it they do I recommend making one and giving this place a try
Press is a great café with a nice variety of fresh, nutritious breakfast options. The coffee was exquisite, and the sandwiches were definitely above par. I especially loved the Coronado. My only disappointment was that the Americano wasn’t a lot — it felt more like a double espresso than a full Americano. Overall, though, it was a wonderful experience.
First time here and its such a cute and quaint little spot. They have options to place your order via qr code or have your server take it the old fashion way. I think having the choice is nice depending on your wants and needs for the day. Now to the food. The food, OMG it was amazing. I've always been a huge fan on crepes and the one I had was out of this world!!! BBM&J I believe it was. The flavor was rich and savory in the best ways. I can't remember which mimosa I had but it only get better with each sip. I would recommend this spot to anyone and everyone. 10 out 10!!!
Everything about this dining experience was perfect!! I was taking myself on a “crepe date” while on a business trip and was so impressed by the service, the food, and the atmosphere! They asked if I preferred a paper menu (which I do!), they allowed me to order a “Raspberry Melba” crepe (a special my mother used to make me). It was delicious and comforting. The pistachio espresso was out of this world good! And my main meal was the BBQ Veggie crepe (I added two eggs). It was huge & flavorful! The atmosphere is bright and airy. Very modern and with clean lines and warm tones. I can’t wait to come back! Thank you to my server Alyssa for making the experience extra special!
