    lemon latte and lavender hojicha latte
    Melissa N.

    "Press" as in panini press I think because their sandwiches are bomb. My favorite is the breakfast sammie, the jam plus bacon is heaven. Tried the seasonal breakfast burrito on my latest visit and the chorizo was very flavorful and I loved the crispy cheese cooked on the sides. Chili crisps were okay, I liked the chipotle sauce more. Surprisingly spicy but I really enjoyed it. Loved my seasonal hojicha lavender latte but my date's lemon latte was not it. Order at the front and choose your own seat and they bring your order to you. Love that they've kept the copious amount of patio seating after Covid.

    I order to go and the service was great easy to order and the staff is so friendly, even though they were so busy the place was full and the service seems so nice. Food was great all of my colleagues love the sandwiches, the side salad was a surprise to me, i wasn't aware that it came with but it was delicious.

    Love this spot! They have such a delicious unique menu, with lots of vegetarian options, and fun seasonal options. It gets quite busy and can be a bit noisy inside, but its def worth stopping by! I love their different lattes and their lavender lemonade. The lavender lemon cookie is soo good! The sandwiches are always great, and its a great spot to stop at for a quick brunch.

    Great bite! Saturday brunch is busy. We were attended to fast, and regularly asked if we were good. The staff were friendly and patient given the rush. I left happy full and refreshed. The vibe was busy this time but over all very cute, and relaxing. Great colors really using the light to make the tiny space feel welcoming and open.

    Fresh, intentionally prepared food, fancy lattes that are ready to drink. So good for a nice patio experience.

    Came by for lunch with friends. the staff was helpful in putting together a table for us all outside, it was so nice that day but it ended up being too much of a hassle b/c some of us would've been out in the sun even w/the umbrellas so we were able to snag the large table in the back, inside. I enjoyed my sandwich, the food is delicious. It's a nice casual spot, you go up and order at the counter, then they bring your food to you.

    We came here for brunch post yoga. While the line seems long, it moves pretty fast so don't be alarmed! We were worried about seating, but people are pretty respectful and leave when they're done eating. I appreciated the little fly fan deterrents that were placed on the tables. Overall, the food is good and aesthetic. Can't wait to come back!

    So on our way to SF this weekend we stopped in Livermore for a quick bite. We found this place, nice ambience downtown, and had easy parking close. For brunch my wife had the avocado toast, she absolutely loved it. I had the ham cheese and pickles...Now, if you love pickles, like I do...this is for you. If not, do not get. But for me, I loved my sandwich and loved the pickles. For drinks we got some lemonades, mine regular, my wife lavender. So refreshing...we want to come back to try the other items, since we pass through ever so often we will try. Def recommend.

    Great spot with great options . Menu has lots of breakfast items and lunch items. Coffee here is also great . This spot has outdoor and indoor seating and does get packed .

    turkey pesto panini
    Donna T.

    The Press is a cute little artisan cafe in downtown Livermore. I ordered a cold brew with a splash of almond milk + the turkey pesto panini. The cold brew was great! The turkey pesto panini was good, but was more on the lighter side in terms of overall taste. I think it would have been better if paired with a side of tomato soup to dip it in. I came on a weekday so there was easy street parking and no wait, but by the time I left there was a line out the door. They do bring your order to your chosen table and also clear it afterwards.

    Monte cristo
    Hyun Jin J.

    Solid 4! I definitely like this location better than Pleasanton. Less crowded and just as delicious! Still, very lively - so many people were there. Great place to meet friends for brunch. Their weekend brunch menu was a nice surprise - ordered the monte cristo and I swear I inhaled my food. Hard to find parking but worth it when you do. A nice staple in Livermore

    Turkey Reuben
    Sayuri S.

    High quality ingredient array of drinks and everything is just so fresh. Breakfast tacos, yogurt bowl, and the turkey Reuben are my favorites. The ambiance is also nice. Friendly staff.

    It was my first time trying The Press and it was so good! The staff were so nice and welcoming. They have so many good options of brunch and breakfast! Everything I tried was so good. Definitely can't wait to come back already. The inside was super cute, little flower decor and felt cozy.

    Quite certain it might be the most expensive breakfast in Livermore, but their food is really good…read more Massive, and I mean MASSIVE portions of breakfast staples cooked with a deft touch. Bottomless, made to order, mimosas with just about every flavor possible, yeah you can for sure sign me up for visits to Monica's. One thing that is critical to remember, it's always busy and the weekend brunch hours are a madhouse, expect to wait. Now, that being said, if you're lucky enough to snag a seat at their six seat bar on the left side when you walk in, that's first come first served and they offer the full menu there. If you're waiting for a table, try to sit on the side patio, soak up some sun and watch the people strolling by.

For food, we ordered the BLT and the bacon cheeseburger. Both were delicious and came with fries. Overall, great food, great drinks, and great service. We'll definitely be back!

It comes with either fruit or potatoes. Hubby opted for fruits -cantaloupe, blueberries, peaches, honey dew, and strawberries. A very colorful cup of fruits. When I'm in town, Denica's is my favorite place. You have to also try their cookies!!! All their cookies are super delish!! Service is basically, you walk up to the counter and order your food.

During my meal at the counter, I watched her talk down to and directly order around three employees right in front of customers. A little "please," or pulling someone aside privately, would go a long way for both employee morale and the customer experience.
