Best coffee place. The vibe, the people. This is where I start my day, when I need to just chill out and get my 15 min to myself before the world weighs in on me. Only place for me

Love this place. Their coffee is amazing. The roasters really know what they’re doing. And they have some great food selections! Staff is super knowledgable and friendly.

I wouldn’t have known about this little coffee shop had I not done a search on Unilocal.Located at the end of the Skywater Apartment building, the ambiance is serene and contemporary with dark blue tones and wood accents. The menu has a succinct selection of coffee drinks, with chai tea as well, and various types of coffee roasts to choose from at the counter. Milk alternatives here are soy(Extra $.50) and almond milk(Extra $ 1). Since it was a sunny warm day I went with an almond milk latte and tried some vanilla frappé. The latte was refreshing with smooth, rich flavored espresso with a chocolatey undertone. It was such a nice blend of flavors I only needed a small amount of honey to sweeten the drink. The frappé was also very refreshing, with more of a blended smoothie feel and a good balance of vanilla and coffee flavors. Service at the counter was friendly. The location is a bit out of the ways from where I usually shop or dine, but if I’m in the area I’d definitely get more drinks from here.

Press coffee has really good cold brew and muffins. The muffin I had was really fresh. The cold brew was really strong and not nitrogen based. I thought it was really good. It wasn’t too expensive either. Parking is free here. Unlike some places around Arizona State, this place doesn’t charge for parking. It’s underneath the sky water apartment complex. It’s a great studying place. Quiet music and not too crowded. Would definitely come back here!

This is a great place to study or meet up with a friend for a drink. Nice, quiet location, free accessible parking, and friendly staff. The breakfast wraps and croissants are good, as well as their chai lattes. The décor inside is contemporary industrial style. Clean, comfortable environment with a moderate amount of consumer traffic during peak hours. What’s New: Every Wednesday from 5:30pm-7:30pm they will have a food truck in front of the coffee shop. What’s not to like?

A smooth tasting latte. That’s all I could ask for. Happy that there is a location closer to me than Scottsdale quarter!

Relatively new coffee shop located on the ground floor of the Skywater Apartment building on Rio Salado Parkway. Press is clean, bright, and decked out in a midcentury modern – meets – contemporary hipster vibe; I noticed some knockoff Eames chairs(the ones with the«Eiffel» base) and retro styled sofa seating. Confession time: I was not expecting much from the young(to me) barista when I ordered my cappuccino; from previous experiences at other coffee shops with young baristas, those drinks have been subpar, mainly due to inexperience. When I took my first sip of my drink, I was impressed… then penitent. I also have to say that the staff were all very pleasant. :) The banana chocolate bread I bought to accompany my coffee was really good as well. I will most definitely come visit again to try some other drinks and snacks!

Mmmmmm! The coffee from Press is the best in the valley in my humble opinion. The taste and depth of the roasted beans always comes through in their cappuccinos. I love this place and I’m so glad there’s now one located on my way to work. Thank you for your wonderful brew!!!

Press Coffee has been my #1 favorite locally roasted coffee supplier for years now. It’s rare for me to visit the coffee shop without also grabbing a bag of their beans. In fact, Press might very well be responsible for turning me into the coffee snob that I am today… I’m giving Press Tempe a four star review only because the service here has been SOMEWHAT spotty. Never horrible — never even bad. It’s just that barista’s here have often seemed somewhat… distracted. NOT a huge deal, but I prefer employees who are in LOVE with their brand. And Press is DEFINITELY a brand worth being excited about, in my opinion. Apart from this minor detraction, the overall experience is satisfactory. The Tempe location is new and bright and modern and(usually) clean. Not far from where I live, so a great place to bring the laptop and work. Food is only just ok. And only barely that. But I never come here for the food, anyway. Where Press excels is the coffee, so I prefer to stay focused on that. If you haven’t been, it’s certainly worth a visit. Press Coffee is the brand I choose any time I wish to introduce my non-snobby friends to «REAL» coffee. ;) Good job, Press. Thanks for yummy coffee!

They have good coffee but when they first opened they would have fresh croissants, I guess that is not the case anymore.

Finally they got pumpkin muffins and now I can give them 5 stars. Also love how clean they keep it.

Every bit as good as their Scottsdale Quarter location. Products are consistently good between both locations which tells me their baristas have all been trained properly. If you don’t know what to order talk with the baristas. They have many different types and they roast it locally so it’s always fresh.

Located in the Skywater complex at Town Lake, this little shop is tucked away on the far right side on the 1st floor. There isn’t much signage that directs you here from the main road, but they do have stainless steel lettering on their white wall storefront, letters that gleam and are very precisely cut. A plus is that there are several places to park nearby. We came straight from the airport in search of new coffee places with great quality, and we were in luck here. Apparently there’s also a Press Coffee location in Scottsdale, but if you’re a visitor like me, you didn’t know that, and we weren’t headed in that direction. I loved everything indoors! They have a lovely blue wall in the back with their logo painted in bold letters. There are metal, square tables with an assortment of black bucket chairs and these absolutely adorable quilted chairs! They have different swatches of fabric all over them. I’d totally want one of those in my house. To top it all off, the AC is spot on. They also have a large wooden table that would be perfect for group activities. I’m getting carried away by their shop that has been so well put together! Let me not forget the good coffee. I got an iced latte, which they only serve in a 16 oz size. They offered a blend of whole and nonfat milk, so I could get«2%» milk. I loved the taste of the espresso but it got kind of lost in all that milk. Next time I’ll ask for a double shot. Cav got their cold brew, which wasn’t that impressive. There weren’t any special flavor notes, but it also didn’t have any nasty bitterness. Also they serve it on tap, which is cool. I’d pass on the iced coffee next time though. We tried a sample of the apple cinnamon coffee cake. It was moist, delicious, and flavorful. I’d be down to purchase a pastry next time. They also offer heartier breakfast items like burritos! I appreciate that, especially because it’s not necessarily standard coffee shop fare. Then of course they also sell some Chemex and pour over products, as well as their own beans! That way you can have lots of Press Coffee-loving all day, every day!

This is def a kool relaxing place to come to if you want a cup of coffee and breakfast but my review is based solely on there baked goods, there delivered daily from a local masterpiece in the kitchen these muffins are to die for me and my wife love there zucchini muffin so much we eat them almost every other day there simply amazing and the walnut nut ratio inside these bad boys are killer there simply addicting. Im picky about my coffee so I brew my own daily however they do have a wide variety of coffee options to choose from including cold pressed options, frapps, juices, gluten free treats and other baked goods and sandwiches def must try!

I really enjoy the feel of this place. The atmosphere is just cozy but bright. The food is good, I love the pastries. The breakfast burrito is 4⁄5. It’s good but not to die for. As a tea person I really enjoy that they have some less common teas, sometimes you get bored of the usual flavors. My favorite has to be the jasmine blueberry-ish one(unsure of actual name of tea). The prices are really the biggest catch. This is a great place to swing through or even just to work on stuff via laptop. It’s never too crowded so the wifi is super speedy.

Okay, I have to admit, I think I’ve gone five stars early as i am so excited to see this place finally open. It is right along my morning walk to Tempe Town Lake and back and they open at 6:30 am, which is about the time I finish my walk so convenience and and opening early in the morning win the Press Coffee folks an extra star. The shop is clean and a well designed and pleasant interior with strong AC as the shop draws upon the general AC of the larger complex in which it is situated. I liked my almond late though they may want to ask if the drink is for here and then provided it in a cup(to show off those fancy barista skills with a cool design in the foam). I also ordered a muffin and it would be a good idea if they provided a plate with the muffin(if they have them). I figure they are in the early stages of getting their routine down and those are only some general suggestions for improvement. Other than that, pleasant staff, great location, and if you live in the building you can order a coffee and/or a pastry and they deliver it to your door so nice benefit to living in the Sky Harbor apartments. I plan to be a regular early morning customer of this establishment so looking forward to their continued success. Oh, if they could also do some savory pastries, along with the sweet ones, that would be great! :-)

FINALLY. I have been awaiting the opening of Press Coffee for MONTHS and it’s finally here. The baristas are friendly, the coffee is on point, and the store is ultra-modisch PLUS it’s incredibly close to Tempe Town Lake. I can already tell it’s going to be my latest addiction… possibly my downfall in getting to work on time throughout the week!
