I haven't visited FP since before COVID and decided to take my grandson. I reviewed Yelp before returning there for breakfast and checked out prices from pics (2-4 months prior). I didn't look at menus & price when visiting based on online checking. Since the menu pics (2-4 months prior) the prices have gone up again anywhere from $1.30 to .25. I would have noticed this but wasn't given a receipt & called to asked for an email receipt. Talked to Nick and he was very helpful, pleasant & accommodating. At time I visited it wasn't busy but business customers came fast after our meal. I probably would select another place due to price increase and my spending budget. read more

I can only comment on the coffee. We stopped in for a John Law and a Let it Bee. The drinks came out quick and they were pretty good. We really loved the almond in the John Law and now I have been on a total almond syrup/milk fix ever since . The Let it Bee drink was good but maybe some cinnamon or nutmeg would make it even better. The crepes looked great but we didn't have time to grab food. The place is sleek and feels more like a bistro than a coffee shop. In a good way. The line moves quick and people are nice. Solid. read more

We were looking for dessert and coffee and found this gem in the evening. Great atmosphere and well worth going out of your way to experience their Crepes. Love the feel of sitting at this location and enjoying our snack. The service was outstanding and friendly. They put the Coffee in a "real" cup and decorate it. Loved it. NOTE - almost took off because if I hadn't specified Almond Syrup - they might have made my Almond Mocha out of Almond Milk. A new trend that I hate - if you want almond milk - you should order an Almond Milk Mocha - why I have to order it with syrup I am not sure since that is the way it was made forever. Coffee was delicious. My wife had a Hot Chocolate and said it was excellent. We had a Strawberry crepe and loved it. Tasted sweet and amazing. Will definitely come back if we are in the area. Note #2 - I do not give out very many 5 stars for coffee places. read more

Stumbled upon this place while I was in Salem for a day. Cute little town, may I add. I needed coffee stat when I was in town. Went to yelp for help! This place was open, close to where I was and looked promising. Not too bad, Salem, not too bad. I got my mocha with a tad of hazelnut, and it was tasty. Thumbs up. My friends and I enjoyed our drinks with some crepes. Two of us got the strawberry crepe (one with nutella) and the other got the veggie crepe. The custard in the strawberry crepe was a surprise to me. Tasted pretty good! I've had a good amount of crepes in my lifetime and that was the first time I had that much custard in it. It's usually ice cream. Super good! The veggie crepe was also scrumptious. Made perfectly. Nothing raw nor burnt. Just right! The ambiance of the place was comfortable too. I honestly like the feel I got when I went inside. Comfortable, and gave you a city feeling. (since its a small town and all from what im used to). Obviously France everything inside. Eiffel tower everywhere. It's also a decent size for a coffee shop. Lots of seating. Not a bad experience at all. So if you need coffee and maybe some yummy crepes, stop by this place! read more

I was having a bit of a slight hunger and I asked my friend if there was any place that he would suggest to have a light meal. He asked if I liked crepes and I said, "Yes I am human, I like crepes!" So off we went for crepes. When we got here the aura of trying to hard to be classy was heavy. Also the prices were a bit on the high side as if it was a 3 star Michelin joint. It wasn't! I opted for something savory, so I had the chicken pesto and my friend had the sour cherry. Mine was meh. It was savory and pesto was really good, I should have opted not to have the spinach. What I should have ordered was the sour cherry. I tried some of my friend's and it was amazing. What was wrong with me to pick savory over sweet? The service is self serve, so don't expect that. Overall, if I hadn't tasted the sour cherry, this would have been a two star review. read more

French Press - Turkey pesto - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Oregon

My brother, sister-in-law and niece (the most beautiful, athletic and smart 7 month old in the world) just moved to Salem from North Carolina (as in last week). He (my brother) finally no longer owes his soul to the United States Army (after seven years (hooray!)). Like Sherrie C., I am also glad I didn't read the Yelp reviews, because I likely wouldn't have gone here, which would have been too bad, because we all really enjoyed it. We got a wide variety of crepes (two veggie, one make-your-own, and two sweet (bananas foster and some berry one)), a blueberry scone, a bagel with scallion and garlic cream cheese, a "French Press Hot Cocoa," a decaf three-cup french press, a mocha and a cappucino. All were delicious. The crepes were not on a level with Le Happy (in Portland), but all around the food and drinks were very good. read more

Since moving to town I've swung by here basically every other day. While I'm not much of a coffee drinker, I can say that they're mochas, lattes, and smoothies have all been good. Crepes are solid, too (the peach ones are my favorite). There is definitely a stronger Starbucks-y vibe than I would prefer but the free wifi, kind employees, and extremely inviting patio more than makeup for that. read more

Really good crepes! My favorite one was the maple bacon crepe. The bacon was nice and crispy. They added a lot of maple syrup which is nice but I thought it was kinda sweet so next time I would ask for it on the side. read more

Stopped in for lunch while out running errands. Great service, good menu to choose from. Had the strawberry crepe, turkey panini with raspberry and strawberry Italian sodas. Definitely hit the spot, and excited to return for brunch! read more

Great spot. Wide menu selection, many options. Coffees, teas, hot cocoa, etc. Ive had breakfast, lunch & dessert crepes here. Chorizo breakfast crepe had super flavors. However it was sooo spicy hot, i could only eat 5 bites. My mouth, lips on fire; burning so badly, i couldnt even finish my coffee - wow. Crepes are large, soft, generously filled. Good list of Sandwiches too. Yum. read more

I had the Berry Crepe and it wasn't bad! The presentation was lovely, but for being about $10 it was not worth it in my opinion. My overall dish was not warm enough. The compote was lukewarm and the whip cream tasted like ReddiWip from Safeway:/ the fruit was sweet and added a nice twang, but that was about it. The compote wasn't overly sweet which was nice, but it would've been 10x better if it was warmer. The cream that filled the crepe was subtle, which was the right idea to add another component, but it didn't hit the nail on the head. It was just subtle enough that it was a bit bland in my mouth. One thing that was quite different was the strange flavor with the crepe itself. I tasted a savory flavor almost like a potato or an onion! But it definitely did not belong in my sweet crepe! It led me to believe that the person making the crepes didn't properly clean the "hot plate" and it hindered the flavors of the dish. My other complaint was the seating because it was quite tight. The seating area to the left of the door was not arranged in the best manner. It was impractical and required me to squeeze around chairs to avoid bumping people. Overall I gave The French Press 3 stars because it was just okay! But again, I did only have one thing on their menu. For it being my first experience here, I would have hoped for something more. read more

First time there. I went through the drive thru and the interaction with employees was terrible. Not sure if they all just got yelled at but I've never had a less personable interaction anywhere. McDonald's employees are friendlier. The mocha I got was also just o.k. Won't be back read more

Split a breakfast crepe with the wife, filled with sausage, egg, cheese, red peppers and onions, and came with a side of gravy-like sauce. Pretty decent, good size, enough for two people. She had a hot chocolate, very good, and I had a cafe latte. Good coffee, but definitely not the best in town. Probably the best thing about the place is that it has outside seating which in Salem is hard to find. This is especially nice sense it is fairly cramped inside the restaurant. I would say this is not a place for foodies or coffee connoisseurs, but is a popular option for the common folk. read more

Great coffee and food. My order took a little while, but it was worth it. Highly recommend.

I love French press! They have the best coffee and food! And their service is great! The atmosphere and decor is very nice. They have a great out door seating area that I love to sit on in the summer. My favorite thing to get there is the Rico the explorer coffee and the chocolate banana crepes or the loaded breakfast( which is like a breakfast burrito but in a crepe). Every one here is very friendly, and they have very quick service. Even if it busy we always get our food and drinks in a timely manner. I will keep coming back again and again! read more

I go in there and I ask what's the soup of the day and they don't even know so they ask the cook and the cook says sorry no soup. So then I try ordering the croissant Benedict and they tell me they're out of croissants. Wow. I should've just left right then. I ended up ordering the Black Forest panini but after wanting the other two food items the sandwich really just didn't cut it. The cook was nice enough to bring me the food. But I had also ordered a coffee and they couldn't even be bothered to tell me it was ready it was just sitting there. If you're not gonna bring me my drink then why not tell me at the counter when I ordered where the coffee will be when it's finished? When I went in it wasn't even busy. I could get why I got crappy service if it was busy but on a slow day instead of talking and standing around how about giving better service. Also the salmon Alfredo is so fishy it's inedible. Stay away from it. read more

Great food and the shop is cute. Customer service is a hit or a miss. Usually the person taking orders is rude, and when you go up to ask for a straw they look at you like you cussed them out read more

Ok we normally love this place, and I don't like writing bad reviews. But today they gave us a smoothie with broken glass pieces in it, that we got for our 4 year old. She had a drink first, then my husband drank some, and he got 2 pieces of glass. He went in to complain, and they said the blender broke while they were making the smoothie, so they dumped it, and made another smoothie in the same broken blender. They said they rinsed it but the pieces may have been stuck under the blade. Why were they still using a broken blender??? We bought this for our 4 year old, so I'm not sure if she had already drank any shards of glass. Had my husband not taken a drink, she would have kept drinking it and wouldn't have known any different. They tried giving us a gift card, but I just wanted a refund. I'm not sure we'd go back after that kind of carelessness. This was just inexcusable. read more

My 15 year old son and I breezed into this place on a nice sunny morning, so we sat outside after ordering the french press medium roast, crepes and a frittata.

I will definitely come back on my next trip to Salem. read more

French Press - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Every time I come here I am thoroughly satisfied with the food. The crepes or the sandwiches. I usually sit at the bar top and read/write and can't help but see how the staff work. They are attentive and friendly and are indicative of something right in the company's culture. The food is tasty. The coffee is just right. They don't try to be cool or hip, they just put out an exceptional product with great service. Hard to beat that. If I had to come up with one negative, and it is a minor one, is that a large coffee drink gets cold very fast in the ceramic containers they are served in. Wide top and heat transferring container. I'm I the habit of placing a small plate atop the mug to gain a few minutes of warmth. Can't go wrong here. Consistently wonderful. read more

I've been here about 7 or 8 times now, half inside, half drive thru. I tried my first crepe here a couple of days ago, the smoked salmon and asparagus and oh dear was it good. I can't believe I've denied trying one for so long. I have lost time to make up. It also happened to be a perfect visit overall. A close friend and I went for a late mid afternoon lunch. We sat in front of the gas fireplace with big white mugs of hot chocolate. The whole place smelled wonderful and it was only lightly busy. Our crepes were delivered by a smiling young man after we watched him make them. The food was great, the hot chocolate perfectly made, the fireplace and a long, in depth conversation. Aw... I just want to repeat then repeat again. I've heard it gets crowded and loud on weekends, so don't go then if you don't like that, I never will. The drive thru is not the quickest one you'll ever go through but if you're going to spend upwards of 5-6 bucks on a beverage, why not get a really good one? It's not something I do regularly, so I want it be good. My plan now is to slowly work my way through the entire crepe menu. read more

When you ask them to remake the 6$ coffee because it tastes horrible, almost like it was burnt and their response is "that is impossible because we never heat it above 180." And the other worker says "that's weird. Hmmm it's not possible because we don't heat it above 160." Listen 'chemist la barista', I'm just asking you to remake an extraordinarily expensive drink so it doesn't taste like crap. I'm not saying you suck at your job or some obviously outrageous claim, just fix the flipping coffee. It's not you, it's me, really. "You're probably not used to our light brew so it tastes different." Well, you're right it's a light roast and I prefer the dark, but that's not going to be the difference between drinking liquid poo and a cup of sweet relief from life's demands. So please, if someone asks to remake a coffee know it's not about you it is definitely about the coffee. They fixed it, but not before I copped an internal attitude. read more

If you want to know why Starbucks does so well then visit the French press. You will not find more lackadaisical, less interested staff anywhere. I was absolutely flabbergasted by the painstakingly slow speed they moved at and their complete lack of any kind of friendliness or welcome. Waited 20 minutes for a croissantSandwich that never appeared while drinking a three dollar +16 ounce coffee that was no better than McDonald's quality. I finally left finishing only an eighth of a cup and never seen my sandwich. Pretentious disinterested and less than mediocre. read more

The food is pretty good here but the service is lousy. There's a reason they don't get a tip from me. The barista moves like a slug, doesn't know how to say thank you, and is just an eye sore. They certainly are in no hurry to accommodate their customers. Sad. Could be a really great place. read more

I was very excited to try this place and was sorely disappointed. I called to order pickup and the lady who answered was not necessarily rude, but she was not friendly either and it did not leave a good impression. While this is not that big of a deal, it set the tone for my experience, which did not get better. My boyfriend picked up the order. He was waiting by the counter while the only female employee (probably the same one who answered me) helped someone else. When they were done, she just walked away. A different employee saw my bf waiting and helped him - this man was very friendly. He got the food home and we were given the wrong drinks! The lady on the phone read my order back to me and I am very disappointed we received tea instead of the espresso drinks we ordered. We also got crepes, which were very subpar. The vanilla filling in the strawberry crepe was bland and the strawberries were hard and flavorless. Bf got the apple caramel crepe which was also bland, and the apples were too sour to eat. Bf says the experience and food was McDonald's level, which is not what you expect from a nice coffee and crepe place. Should have just gone to McDonald's. read more

Spicy cowboy scramble didn't come up with Crepe but upon my request they wrapped in it. Parking is plenty. It also has a drive through.Seats are comfortable. Only con is that is crowded and people talk loud. There is outdoor seating facing commercial but not my style sitting outside with traffic noise. read more

I've been a home roaster for more than 10 years. I like the coffee here. The roasts are usually in the medium to medium-light range. It's a sweet deal for me.

They respect the bean. read more
