What we got from this place is "Tahoe VIBE w/out the crowds." Nice local spot for a mother's day brunch on the go. Was visiting a nearby tribal establishment for the weekend and this place was recommended on YELP so we had to check out. Food: -Pastrami sandwich - was ok. Could have use more pastrami. Bread wasn't my favorite - kind of dry. Season fries were delicious. -Caprese Breakfast Sandwich - wasn't bad. wifey said egg was too runny. The bread was good. -look at pix, last sandwich got a perfect rating from the kid. Said sausage, eggs and bread were wonderful. -Verdict: cool place and vibe. Staff were cool. Definitely worth checking out Will be back for sure..... read more

Cute little cafe! Friendly staff. So many good , unique food options. We had the blueberry fried chicken sandwich and it was so good. We also had the turkey, Swiss avocado and the cookie butter cinnamon roll. Their vanilla lattes were also delicious! Wait time was a little long, but food and drinks too good to bring it to 4 stars . Highly recommend! read more

This is a clean and friendly place. Sure wish we would've gotten breakfast here instead of where we ate. But we'll definitely try them for breakfast next visit. We like the variety in their menu. We got a mocha to go since we were hitting the road and it is delicious! We'll be back! read more

Cute and quick breakfast spot with a cozy open vibe inside. Stopped here for a quick breakfast with my family and we really enjoyed the simple but delicious menu. I ordered the breakfast burrito, with no meat, and my husband tried the Strawberry Fields Sandwich. He said the bacon was thick and not overcooked. To drink we got a latte and one of their sodas, a cream cola. The soda was really different and we enjoyed it. There is seating outside, which is great if you have a dog. Parking is limited, only about 4 spots in front. Overall a good experience with kind staff. Only thing I would have loved to see is more vegetarian or other meat options for the breakfast sandwiches. read more

Located in the cute town of Twain Harte is Local Press. I got a lavender latte here with my cousin. So good. Lavender is one of my favorite flavors of coffee and so I get excited whenever I see it on the menu! Very clean inside. I love the decor. Our coffee came out pretty quick, the lady working the register was friendly. read more

Our last visit to Local Press was over 3 years ago, we were just coming out of Covid and the food was not good. So we thought we would give them another try, maybe it was a fluke or bad timing last time. We follow their instagram account and everything always looks hand crafted and delicious! We tried the breakfast sandwich on a croissant roll, a chai tea latte, and an iced caramel macchiato. The drinks were okay, not the worst but definitely not the best. The sandwich was such a disappointment, especially after seeing what we thought it would look like on instagram. Since they didn't have the specific "Farr Out" breakfast sandwich, I think we just ordered the breakfast sandwich on the regular menu which sounded similar (different bread obviously). The picture online boast large sandwiches with generous portions of meat. The sandwich we received however was so small. It was $10, and I could have made something better and bigger at home for free. I was really hoping it would be better than last time, however it was not. I really feel like there is a disconnect between what we're seeing on instagram vs what you get in real life. I know it's not going to be perfect, but this sandwich wasn't even close to the quality that is being advertised. Two stars because the girls working were so sweet, and I know it's not their fault because they're just following instructions. read more

I was really excited to visit Twain Harte for my birthday, and one of the spots that caught our eye was The Local Press--a charming little restaurant, smoothie, and juice bar with great reviews. When we arrived, it wasn't too busy, and there was plenty of seating both inside and outside. The setup was super cute and welcoming. One of the highlights was their menu of homemade sodas, which I thought was such a fun and unique touch. They also had a nice variety of sandwiches, burgers, and more. My girlfriends and I were starving, so we ordered burgers with fries and decided to try their house-made energy drinks--I went with the Pink Flamingo. We sat outside to enjoy the mountain air, though we did have to deal with some pesky flies (expected when you're in the woods, really). The food came out hot and fresh, and it was absolutely delicious. The Pink Flamingo was tasty too, and we were so impressed that we decided to come back on our last day in the area. The second visit was still enjoyable, but the energy drink I ordered that day unfortunately tasted like cough syrup, so that one ended up being a bit of a miss. Just a heads-up to be selective when trying different drinks. That said, I definitely recommend the cherry soda--it was amazing--and the food remains top-notch. The Local Press is a cute and cozy spot that I'll absolutely return to, despite the one off-drink. Thank you for helping make my birthday trip memorable! read more

We went the wrong way and I'm glad we did! I was so hungry, pulled up Google Maps for a local breakfast spot and told my boyfriend to turn left! Amazing coffee and even better tasting food. It's a small spot but the service was awesome and the food superb! We are all about supporting local small businesses since we come from a small town ourselves so this was perfect for us. We can't wait to come back! read more

Yum. Everything I've had here has been delicious. I've had the chorizo breakfast burrito, the bacon breakfast burrito, and a breakfast bowl as well as an iced coconut latte & a n iced vanilla latte. I highly recommend adding avocado if you like it, and getting the salsa as well. I usually get the salsa on the side and use as I please but it is so good to add onto the breakfast burrito or bowl. What I love about their burritos is that it seems like they mix all the ingredients before putting it onto the tortilla, making every bite really well balanced. It's not like those burritos where you get one bite that's all meat and another bite that's all egg. No; it's very evenly dispersed and you get a good mix of all ingredients in every bite. My whole family went and we all ordered burritos and everyone had that same comment. Rare find! Don't hesitate to come here! You won't regret it. read more

Reasonable prices & good food /coffee. I live nearby and really enjoy Local Press. Not much ambiance but there's outdoor seating in beautiful Twain Harte. Servicebis very good. Friendly accommodating staff. I had the Far-out breakfast sandwich and its plenty. $13 with coffee. read more

The family always loves the breakfast burritos and we regularly order them when in town! This time I ordered the caprese breakfast sandwich. It was tasty however the description was a bit off- it seemed to be more of a pesto rather than pesto aioli and it was not served on a toasted butter croissant- more like a bun. Still yummy but I would recommend a change in the description of this menu item! read more

This place is very cute and clean. Sitting inside and outside. Service was great. We ordered BLT, Cubano, vanilla ice latte with almond milk, drip coffee & and Arnold Palmer The Blt was delicious. Lots of bacon the sourdough was toasted perfectly. I added some pickled red onions to my sandwich. The Cubano was also tasty. The sliced pork was so flavorful and soft. Has a bit of sweetness to the mustard sauce. Bread is soft. The drinks were all very good. read more

Headed to Local Press for lunch on Sunday. It was not crowded. The counter staff was friendly and allowed us to bring the dog inside while we ordered. We ate at a picnic table outside. I had the grilled chicken with avocado salad. The chicken was tender and moist. The lettuce was crisp. The dressing was evenly distributed over the salad. Everyone else had a chicken sandwich. My husband had the chimichurri grilled chicken. He said it was spicy and flavorful. The fries were crispy. read more

Friendly staff. Cute and clean. Good mocha! The menu looks like they have a lot of tasty items at reasonable prices.

They were busy, but the girl who took my order was sweet and I didn't mind waiting for my food to be ready. Lots of seats both inside and out to hang around in the meantime. I ordered a drink and the blueberry fried chicken sandwich to go. The drink was fine, and the sandwich had a great piece of chicken with a HEAPING side of tots, but those are sadly the only positives to note. I was a bit disappointed with my meal overall. I ordered the sandwich because it had blueberry COMPOTE. (I am wary of ALL berries and fresh produce at this time due to the cyclospora outbreak, but I am perfectly fine to eat compotes and sauces that are cooked). I heard the salesperson ask the cooking staff if they still had compote and they replied in the affirmative. At no point between placing my order and waiting was I told otherwise, or notified that they had run out, but when I got home and opened my sandwich it was genuinely just blueberries on the piece of chicken. It did have melted cheese and (some) aioli, and I asked for no jalapenos/they listened, but the other toppings didn't have much of a taste over the chicken. I was expecting a unique sandwich featuring a cooked through blueberry sauce and received a fraction of what I paid for, especially because, even after dumping the blueberries out of my sandwich, I was too nervous to eat anything they might have touched, and I wasn't able to finish. (While it may be irrational behavior, which I know and am trying to curtail, it still shouldn't have been a thing at all. As someone with food issues, if I had known they were out of the compote I would have changed my order to something I felt comfortable eating--instead I paid $30 for a chicken sandwich I couldn't finish because they essentially contaminated it. Also, cooked blueberry compote tastes different from fresh blueberries, on top of having a completely different texture, so I didn't even get what I paid for in that regard). I would eat here again, but would likely not order to go in case there was another issue. *EDITED REVIEW because I genuinely appreciate the owner's sincerity and congeniality upon receiving my review. I understand that sometimes, things can go awry, and I look forward to trying out the rest of their menu as I continue to visit TH. read more

Have been to the Local Press multiple times, but usually just for a coffee run, which is always good. Tried it specifically for the burgers and I legitimately have to say it beats The Rock and the Twain Harte Golf Club Bar & Grill hands down! I had the Shack Burger and it was bomb AF! I smashed it and the fries I ordered on the side! You could definitely taste it was a fresh patty opposed to frozen. This was confirmed by staff. Wife had a BLT and said it was pretty tasty as well. Staff is always friendly and had no problem answering any questions I had. Reasonable wait based on it being prepared to order. Always a great place to chill inside by the cozy fireplace or outside when the weather permits! Keep this place going by visiting as much as you can! read more

I loved this coffee spot! Came here last weekend for my birthday getaway and I loved the peace and nature. Ok our last day we tried Local Press and could not have loved it more. I ordered the breakfast burrito with chorizo and an iced mocha. The coffee was delicious and the breakfast burrito was very good. One thing I would add is salsa or more salsa to the burrito. I wish I would have came here sooner so I could try their craft beer selection and their beers on tap. They looked so fun and good but my then I was heading home. Just an excuse for me to come back. read more

Such a lovely spot to enjoy some outdoor Saturday evening live music. I have been to Local Press twice now for Saturday live music - and it's been a fantastic time on both occasions. They have readily available seating, quality sound, beautiful vibes, and they also serve up drinks and food - up until they close. The Twain Harte Swimming pool is right behind Local Press - and I've even seen families enjoying evening refreshing dips - while a local musician croons over a swaying crowd. Local Press' Saturday evening menu consists of burgers, sandwiches, fries, onion rings and salads. Some of their evening menu standouts include a Blueberry Fried Chicken Sandwich, as well as their Yolky Bear burger. They also continue to serve up their coffee drinks in addition to tea and soda well into the evening. Though their Saturday live music is a popular draw for Local Press - they're best known for their breakfast early afternoon options and quality coffee drinks. I've heard their breakfast burrito is definitely worth trying. Trust. read more

Great breakfast and coffee spot in Twain Hart. Super hip little building with good parking and lots of outdoor seating. My breakfast bowl was delicious and my husbands burrito was top notch. He mentioned it multiple times throughout the day! My iced latte was good, my husbands chai tasted mostly like milk but still good. Definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

The Local Press has great food and great Latte's. The service is good and they are all friendly.

Food - amazing. Ambience - fun and mod. Staff - friendly. Coffee - winning! No but really. Someone told these folks they can do whatever they want with a tater tot, and it would taste good. And they did it!! Breakfast bowl, breakfast burritos -- both did not disappoint. Staff was hella busy but managed all the snobs waiting for coffee with smiles and professionalism. The vibe is fun and casual. Lots of people here, but not too loud. Buy the t-shirt! read more

Me and my husband were taking a little vacay up in Twain Hart and decided to go to this cute little coffee shop/cafe. Boy was it good. I'm usually pretty picky with my coffee but it was great! I got a vanilla latte and the girl at the front made it perfectly. Not sure what her name was but whoever was working in the morning on 2/26/25 you are awesome! That girl deserves a raise lol. The food was also great of course. I got the press bowl and it was 10/10. My husband also enjoyed his coffee and snuck a few bites of my food. The owner seemed especially nice as well. This cute cafe deserves a visit! We will be back soon for sure read more

Best sandwich menu in Twain Harte. Very original and clever items. It's both historic and cozy. Good place to meet for coffee

We tried the Local Press for the first time today, stopping for breakfast. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon, and I decided to try the Press bowl with chorizo (though it is also offered with bacon). My other half really enjoyed the breakfast burrito, which included nice, crisp tater tots, which were also featured in my breakfast. The Press Bowl was comprised of scrambled egg, crumbled chorizo, a light amount of melted cheese, a dollop of sour cream and abundant, sliced avocado. The avocado was perfectly ripe and delicious. I liked that the dish was not overwhelmed by overdoing the cheese...just enough for good flavor. The service was friendly, with you placing an order, pre-paying at a counter and then being called up to an exterior window to retrieve the order. The food did take a while to come, but there was a large group ahead of us that likely accounted for that. There is some indoor seating available, but the space is a bit tight there. Far more seating is found outside, just in front of the entry to the community pool. There appear to be some varied and delicious sounding options for lunch, so will likely come back to check it out. read more

Breakfast choices were ok. Nothing that special. Took a long time to be prepared. Latte was ok.

Highly disappointed in what used to be a flavorful sandwich that was overwhelmingly good. The fixing from the sandwich (blueberry and candied jalapeños would fall all over your fries and make the meal that much better. Today I went in and was so disappointed to find a small glob of blueberry and 3 candied jalapeños and overcooked cold fries. I hope Cameron fixes this! read more

Food is good. Service is slow as they make it right there for you. Takes about 10-15 minutes to make a breakfast burrito. If you use the online app and want ASAP option the program defaults to a later time rounding to the next 15 minute block. So if you order at 846 ASAP the program will make a ticket for 9am for the staff and you don't know this change. If you are walking thinking you can get your food by maybe 9am you might get it at 915/920. Don't criticize Cameron on FB about how he could change or make improvements. He will block you. Trying to help him and Local Press but seems to be the big bully in town. He wants to do dinners while we have The Villa, Rock and Epperson House. Stick to coffee. Already Bean Around the Block Closed so now we're down to 1 coffee house. Talk to other restaurants and get their 411. His music times and dates competes with the Rock. Both places can do music on the same night. 20 minute sets and the folks acn bounce back and forth between both Local Press and Rock. Just don't do 2 hours of straight music. read more

*Amazing* food - the burgers are cooked perfectly! Juicy and pink in the middle and full of flavor. The brisket sandwich transported us back to Texas. I'm so glad there's somewhere on the hill that has good brisket! And the kicker - great, local beers on tap and a Michelada made with Tajin and Chamoy that is produced by a family in Stockton.

We've had a vacation cabin in Twain Harte for the last 13 years. Local Press is by far the best eatery that's been at this location. I always get the breakfast burrito(amazing)but this time we were too late for breakfast so I was forced to get the fried chicken sandwich!! We've been back home for 2 days and I'm still thinking about that sandwich! The piece of chicken was huge and cooked perfectly. The sandwich arrived hot and with a side of shoestring fries cooked to perfection. Great Americano also! The owner was also there and was super friendly and made us feel very welcome! Great job guys! read more
