The teenagers there today (Jan 26, 2025) were extremely rude - not just as teenagers but as human beings. They were impatient, raised their voice when asking which type of drink we wanted when we were still making the decision (and no one else was in line). This happened on 2 separate occasions - I went in first, and then my friends came by. They were also chatting poorly about their coworkers quite loudly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location itself is nice, and the drinks were fine but the behavior of the staff was very poor and surprising.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place is so dirty. I got a La Freeze that was pretty good, but sitting inside to drink it was miserable. I couldn't take my eyes off the dirt and crumbs of food all over the floor. The cheese danish is gross. Just stick to the drinks. read more

#YelpLove... On my way to work, I just need a little pick me up so I stopped there and grabbed a La Freeze, Wedding Cake flavor. It's a frozen latte that you chose a flavor. My sister didn't like hers but I really like mines. You can really taste the wedding cake flavors. We went thru the drive thru and their menu is very extensive with not only coffee drinks but they also offer cold or hot drinks, tea, bubble tea, milkshake, salad, sandwiches. read more

Today was my first time trying French Press & I must say I've been missing out!! I ordered the bacon, egg, & cheese croissant sandwich & a White chocolate La Freeze! The croissant sandwich was so good! The croissant was nice & flaky & it was hot so I know it's fresh & made to order! The white chocolate la freeze is better than any Starbucks frappe I've had! I will definitely be back! I went through the drive-thru & only waited around 8 minutes! Can't wait to try more things soon! read more

I used the drive thru here yesterday and was underwhelmed by my experience. It wasn't busy, yet I waited a very long time at the window. I finally received my cappuccino and the cup was only about 1/4 full. I realize that the foam takes up a good bit of the cup, but this was strange. Also, it was very bitter. I don't think I'll return. read more

Arghhhhhhh. Quick stop for breakfast/brunch & while I'm glad this place was open & not crowded; I should've just waited at the other place & dealt with the crowd. The right: -the western omelette sandwich with a side of salsa, proved to be just right for my appetite. I was even able to save the other half for a later meal -the price was fair, two sandwiches & 2 drinks, 20 bucks The not so right: -parking is scarce for this location; located on the corner of Severn & 18th street, this little lot is able to accommodate about 16-18 cars & then the lot is full. Which means you have to use the drive-thru or TRY to park elsewhere, good luck on NOT being towed The oh so wrong: -attitude of the pink-haired drink preparer; she was very slow, not methodical, but slow as though she was tired or sleepy. I wasn't starving, so this wasn't an irritation, but more of an observation -the customer service... So the bubble teas are milk based & while I didnt realize it the first time, I have since realized the err of my ways. I asked the drinks to be remade without milk but with water, to which another cafe worker said 'it wasn't our error, but yours and blah, blah, we can't remake the drinks'. To which I informed her of "normal" restaurant policies, hello it's called customer satisfaction, She remained. So I said ok, give me a refund... And she obliged. OK. WAIT. STOP. She wouldn't toss the drinks, remake them & keep the money, but she would refund the money & toss the drinks. Hmmmmmm. Ok. Note to self. - read more

After hearing my coworkers talk about this place I finally decided to try it. OMG, now I see why they talk about this place. The breakfast is amazing. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Surprisingly it's not that busy which is great for me. The food is very fresh. Eggs aren't from the freezer. And the price is just right. read more

I stopped by to get some coffee in their drive through. We got an Americano and Cafe Au Lait. Both were absolutely horrible, tasted the same and like they were made with either applied milk or dirty water. Had to throw them away, what a waste of money. Wish we would have tasted it before we drove off. read more

Every time I come to either the david drive or Williams location it is a joke and half. I can be only one in line and it still takes 10 minutes for simply one iced coffee. I've had many horrible experiences with this place. Most recently I had to say my order three times asking for just a little bit of milk. The person on drive thru repeated back my order and said "and a whole lot of milk," which was so rude. (This was david drive) On airline, they pour half the cup with milk and a splash of coffee even when I say a little bit. It's just horrible service and an extremely long wait time for no reason!! I don't get it :/ read more

My work is very close so I really want to love this place and keep giving it a try but for being a coffee house, they never have hot coffee! I've just given up and know at this point that if I order in the drive thru, I'm going to wait at least 10 minutes, deal with either ride or very incompetent service and receive luke warm coffee! To me it seems like they aren't taking the time to make sure they are serving quality products and properly training staff. For this i blame management!! read more

I only went through the drive thru but I must say I was sleeping on the la freezes! They are way better than Frappuccino's at Starbucks to me! I got the caramel and it was blended so smoothly. I'll definitely be back read more

One car in front of me pulled off in the drive through after waiting 20 minutes. The employee came to the window and asked me if I ordered something they I didn't. Then I was asked to pull up and wait for no more than 5 minutes, which of course wasn't true. IT TOOK 30 MINUTES for this transaction to get one drink at what started at 2:00 in the afternoon. The employee apologized, but this is utterly ridiculous. The car after me drove off without their order. I DO NOT recommend this location. read more

Their coffee is good but their food tastes terrible. I got a cinnamon roll today that tasted stale and had barely any cinnamon.

The price is not worth the sourpuss faces and okay boba. It is one of the few boba places that are decent. But now there's another boba place opening up. Seriously. How is your job so terrible you glare and act like my order is the end of the world. Get a different job if you hate it so much! Never coming here again! read more

I try my best not to knock a place too terribly, but damn, this place needs a checkup. First and foremost, we were not greeted with super friendly service. That's just a rough start for me after working in the service industry for so long and receiving amazing service at other places of this kind. Secondly, and possibly worst: no coldbrew on the menu at this point in the coffee biz is a no-no. I ordered tomato basil soup and a small chicken ceasar and I could barely eat it. Soup was cold (and tasted like it was from La Madeleine, which is across the street) and the chicken on the salad was so obviously warmed up in a package in the microwave it made me sad. My mom said her chicken salad was mayo-heavy and very blah; the coffee was as bland as the service. Third...the bathroom. Did someone throw up in there before me and just clean up as best as possible? Or has it been this bad for a while? Roll was out and a fresh one was laying haphazardly on the table in front of the toilet. Just not a good scene. So not the French Press I remember visiting and you'll forget it as soon as you leave. read more

This business wins the Most Insane Drive Thru Award. I realize that coffee shops likely increase their business tenfold by having a drive thru. I realize this was likely not built specifically to be a coffee shop. Even knowing these things, I think the drive thru is ridiculous. It starts inoccuous enough when you order, but once you have, look out. The turn is so sharp that I was freaking out that I would damage my car. I have received awards for driving and I was still freaking out. I can't even imagine someone in a giant SUV attempting this without side swiping a pole. Had I known I would have parked and gotten soaking wet in the rain to avoid the stress. The drive thru is pretty easy to avoid by walking in so what about the actual items I purchased? My plain iced coffee was good. It was on par with other chain coffee shops. We also ordered cake pops because my children needed to be bribed. The problem with the pops was that they had a hard icing on the exterior that had a strong chemical odor to it. It was off putting that we ended up throwing them away. Under the icing was fine, but the icing was not. It is fairly convenient if you're on Severn or visiting Lakeside mall. If I return I'll definitely be walking in read more

I was early for a book club meeting out in the metrys and stopped in for a cuppa and hopefully a slice of king cake. The hot teas is mighty leaf brand. And it was fine. Y'know a basic cup of tea. The king cake by the slice was from one of the Randazzo's...I'm not sure which one. But here's my pet peeve, if you're going to serve king cake by the slice make sure all slices are near the same width. Don't make me ask for the healthier slice when you try to give a scrawny one and they're both the same price. The staff was courteous and quick and the location was pretty clean and had lots of tables with wall outlets. I'm sure the regulars love the drive through option. read more

Decent coffee house. Main area is mostly clean. Today's wasn't as packed as it's usually is. Restroom needs some TLC. I usually get the La Freeze just just for the flavor. The music isn't loud which is a plus. The internet works fine at this location. Had a pleasant time today. read more

LOVE this place!! French Press is my favorite place to study because of the atmosphere: the booths are sooo comfortable, the decor is gives a homey yet modern touch, and there are outlets EVERYWHERE! I don't know about you, but having outlets everywhere indicates a coffee shop is a clear winner. It's also a good place for meetings, hang outs, etc. The coffee itself is also delish! I've tried the king cake and red velvet flavored coffee and it was MMMM-HMMM good! And THEN I tried their food! Also great! The crawfish etouffee was to-die-for! OMG talk about addicting! Then there's the chicken press wrap. It wasn't as flavorful as I wanted it to be, but at least it was healthy? There were a bunch of dishes to choose from that sounded good, so I'll make sure to try something else next time. They also offer a good variety of desserts and pastries; I'm sad to say that I won't be able to try them any time soon since I gave it up for dessert :( But on the bright side, I look forward to coming here often from now on! :) read more

I was looking for a new coffee shop option besides tStarbucks, so I stopped here one morning looking for my espresso fix. I ordered the Varamel Iced Latte in that middle size, I think they call it moyen. It was wayyyy too sweet and I don't think it had any espresso in it at all. It doesn't even look like it has any espresso, just caramel and milk. I didn't even drink it; It was beginning to make my stomach hurt. Definitely won't come back. A waste of $5. The guy that served me was nice tho, so I guess you can say they have good service read more

Pasion fruit bubble tea is good, coffee is strong! chicken salad is really good. Frozen drinks are a rip off, its always half foamy ice. The corn and crab soup had a can taste. They have the smallest drive thru ever, so dont attempt if you have a SUV. But I like going because its locally owned and they pride themselves on buying their coffee locally too. read more

Ordered a latte "half sweet". It was too sweet to even swallow. Called to see if I could come back to doctor it up with coffee or something so it was drinkable. The help was nice, but they just tossed out a few inches of the drink and added what is probably the worst coffee I've ever tasted. Life's too short to go back, but unless you like burnt coffee and have the desire to get Type 2 Diabetes, stay away. There is no way ANY drink is meant to be that sweet. ‍ read more

If you're only coming here for the coffee or frozen drinks, then you're in luck! They're yummy and moderately priced. Staff is friendly. Area is clean. Parking is decent. Seating not that great. Food is ok, kinda just slapped together. I read that there is wifi but I couldn't log on to it. I just stopped in bc Im waiting for the store nearby to open in 14 min. read more
