If you've ever been to a Pressed Cafe (yes, just one), you may be forgiven to assume they're all…read moremostly alike. This review is to tell you otherwise. Some are much larger (like this one). Some are drive-thru only (like the one near my house). I'm gonna talk about the former real quick. Naturally, the menu is basically the same. On this day, I was having lunch. Ergo, I opted to try the Chipotle Short Rib & Egg burrito (as a bowl because I'm a man of culture) accompanied with a cup of chowdah. I must say...I expected there to be a bit more flavor, what - with the Chipotle sauce n' all. Alas, I had to add my own salt. This is mostly a nitpick, but really...can we please season our beef? Just a lil bit even? So, the biggest difference you'll notice at this location is the parking situation. It's....annoying. Because on the one hand, you technically have ample amounts of spaces to park in. Or...you WOULD, if not for the signs en masse that read "[insert corporate company name here] parking only - all violators will be towed at owner's expense." I find this hilarious because I feel like that would be impossible to enforce for folks parking less than 10 minutes to pick up an order like I did. So, I guess my pro tip of the day would be: feel free to park wherever at your own risk if and ONLY if you're getting take-away. If you're actually dining in, I suppose you'll have to wait painstakingly for one of the few parking spots actually designated for Pressed specifically to open. By the way, if you're picking up a take-away order, the take-out shelf is smack dab next to their side entrance opposite the side where you would normally order your food. It's one of those "blink once and you'll miss it" type things the first time visiting. From my vantage point, this place stays quite busy. Not surprising, considering the Burlington area in general. Clearly, a lot of folks come here mid-work day which is also the only reason I came here to begin with. Overall, not a bad lunch stop, though the parking can be slightly obnoxious. I'm giving Pressed Cafe in Burlington 4 Chipotle Short Rib bowls dubiously seasoned out of 5.

I've been coming here for years, so it's become one of those places I naturally stop at when I'm in the area. I'll pick up the spicy sausage buns for him since that's his favorite, and whatever flavor or seasonal option they have for matcha or milk tea latte for me. I've been happy with what I've gotten here, and sometimes I'll grab something sweet too, especially the Portuguese egg tart. It's part of the food court, so there are tables if you want to sit, though I usually just grab my things and go. Their cakes are also great for birthdays. My sister loves the green tea cloud cake. It's light and fluffy and definitely one of her favorites. There's a whole lot of parking, though it really depends on the timing because it can get busy. Overall Service: Very pleasant. It's always an easy stop for me.

I visited on a Monday about 3:30pm and there were plenty of cakes and pastries on display. I ordered a slice of Green Tea Cloud Cake ($8.50), Choco Cloud Cake ($8.50), and a large Iced Honey Lavender Matcha Latte ($6.75). Slices are a great option without committing to a full cake and you can get different slices. I really enjoyed the Green Tea Cloud Cake. The green tea is not overpowering at all and the cake is not overly sweet. The cake is light and fluffy. Definitely check out Tous Les Jours if you are in H Mart!

Awesome Place! Speaking as someone from the area, True North is certainly a local hot spot. The baked goods are amazing (chocolate chip cookies are to die for), and the drinks are especially fantastic (love the peach smoothie). It is a little pricey, but the quality is certainly through the roof. Customer service is also great, mostly young high school/college age seeming kids working. Highly recommend this place, Burlington's best. read more

Food-wise, the bacon, egg, and cheese was solid and very well made. You can tell the ingredients were fresh, and it was put together with care, not rushed or sloppy like a lot of coffee shops. Really glad I stumbled across this place in Bedford, and I hope more people check it out. Looking forward to coming back and trying more.

There also was a very small amount of bacon which didnt help. We also ordered two coffees which were good, but tasted like any other cafe coffee. There are plenty of seating options inside and outside which is nice and the staff is friendly. I did appreciate the freshness of the ingredients so Id likely give a different item on the menu a try next time.
