Exploring Concord and it's coffee time. After ordering my cortado, I found a comfortable seat towards the back. By the time I had set up my laptop and gotten connected to the wifi, my cortado was called out and I picked it up. Hot and fresh, a great dose of caffeine to keep me going this morning. The coffee shop is clean and tidy, the noise level is low and it was a cute spot to stop in downtown. [Review 667 of 2026 - 4754 in North Carolina - 25848 overall] read more

Love this place! Friendly staff, excellent customer service, and great vibe! My friends and I love to visit after our workouts each week read more

Every time I come to Concord to visit family, Press & Porter is one of our must-do stops. I've been here many times now, and I always look forward to coming back. There's just something about the cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. The staff is always so friendly and genuinely makes you feel welcome. The owners are the BEST. It has become part of our visits to Concord, and I can't imagine coming to town without stopping in! read more

I was looking for a coffee shop on my way back to Greensboro from Charlotte. This coffee shop was the perfect stop because it got me out of the Charlotte congestion and also helped me cut my drive almost in half. It is also located in a super cute southern downtown area with quite a few boutiques and local restaurants and bars (also an open container social district). Being downtown I did find the parking a bit challenging at first since this was apparently the place to be mid day Saturday, but I ended I finding parking on the street behind the Main Street. I also noticed a garage that appeared not to be charging as an additional option. The coffee shop itself had a cute patio, and I was pleasantly surprised at how big the place was with ample seating options (tables, couches, coffee bar seating). Since it is fall and I'm a sucker for fall drinks I tried the Maple and Cinnamon Latte with oat milk and added the pumpkin cold foam!!! This drink was full of fall flavor and perfectly balanced! I usually get a small coffee but this was so good I was regretting not getting a larger size! I'll definitely be back on my next pot stop between Greensboro and Charlotte and maybe take some time to explore the nearby shops! read more

Worst customer service and unclean. Disrespectful staff and owners. Cannot handle any feedback from their customers without causing issues. I do not recommend this coffee shop. read more

Loyal Customers Falsely Accused and Disrespected: We have been loyal, regular customers here for years, and this is an honest, straightforward review of our most recent experience. The coffee quality has slipped: Over the last several visits, the cappuccinos have not been made to the standard we used to get here. They have come out too runny, not hot enough, and lacking the thick, foamy consistency that used to set this place apart. We said nothing about it for weeks, assuming it was a one-off with a newer staff member still learning the ropes. A normal comment turned into a confrontation: Today, my mother finally mentioned it at the register, simply and without singling anyone out: the cappuccino had not been coming out as good as usual lately, it was not hot enough, and it was not thick or foamy enough. That was the entirety of the comment. The employee pushed back, insisting he made it the standard way, but agreed to make it. Punished for not tipping: My mother pays in full for every drink, every time, and simply chooses not to add a tip today, which is entirely her right as a customer. It appears the employee took this personally, and it colored everything that happened next. Dirty tables, again: Outside, our table was filthy, coffee spilled across it, the same issue we had encountered on a previous visit. I asked the employee to wipe it down when he had a moment. Twenty minutes later it still had not been done, so l cleaned it myself with tissue and water rather than let our coffee go cold waiting. The owner made false claims and refused to provide proof: About twenty minutes later, the owner came outside, crouched down next to my mother, and confronted her, claiming she had reviewed camera footage and heard my mother say she was not tipping the employee because his drinks were bad. This was never said. My mother never mentioned tipping in that conversation at all, and never named who was making the drinks. When my mother firmly denied this and asked to see the footage herself, the owner flatly refused to let her into the back room. We then offered a simple alternative: film the phone screen showing the footage right there. The owner refused that too. If the footage truly showed what she claimed, there was no reason not to prove it on the spot. The refusal spoke for itself. We know she was lying, both because my mother knows, word for word, what she actually said, and it did not include anything about tipping, and because if the owner genuinely believed something rude had been said, showing us the footage would have settled it immediately. Instead she refused, which only confirms that the footage would not have backed up her claim. Old, unrelated incidents dragged in: The owner and employee also brought up a completely unrelated visit from days earlier, where my family had simply been told the shop was closing soon and my father replied, acknowledging it, before we left. This ordinary exchange was twisted into evidence that we had a pattern of being difficult customers. Told we were not welcome: When my mother pointed out that the staff were now disrespecting a loyal, paying customer, the owner told her that if she did not like the coffee or the staff, she did not have to come back. As we were leaving, still within earshot, the owner said that the way my mother was speaking proved she must have been rude to the employee earlier, an assumption that directly contradicts her own earlier claim of having it all on camera. If she genuinely had proof, she would not need to infer rudeness after the fact. Unable to take any criticism: Looking through other reviews on this shop's Google page, we are clearly not the only ones who have had this exact experience. Other customers have also commented on inconsistent coffee, and the owner's response is always the same: defend the recipe, defend the staff, and treat any criticism as an attack rather than useful feedback. She seems very good at defending her place and her staff, but not at hearing that something needs to improve. Customer feedback is how a coffee shop gets better, and at the end of the day, our opinion as paying customers matters. Instead of dismissing every comment as rudeness, it would serve her business far better to actually take the feedback into consideration. Bottom line: A simple comment about a drink not being made to standard was met with staff taking it personally, an owner fabricating claims about what was said, a flat refusal to back up those claims with the very evidence she cited, and ultimately being told we were not welcome back. Years of loyalty counted for nothing. We will not be returning, and we cannot in good faith recommend this place to others. In the end, they have lost very loyal, good customers who came in consistently for years, and that is entirely their loss. read more

the service was really bad when we ask for change our order because the coffe taste bad they call the "owner" and the owner tell us if we dont like the coffe we can leave she was super rude and have a disgusting attitude read more

This cute little coffee shop is located near the square in downtown Concord. The place has a pleasant atmosphere and friendly employees. The service is great and their products are really good. The strawberry Frosted Flakes matcha is really good. Today I got a 12 ounce decaf. They also sell a few pastries. Everything is good here. read more

I tried out Press & Porter in downtown Concord and absolutely loved the space and the vibes! It's a nice place to work, hang out with a friend, or just go on a coffee date. The staff was very friendly and kind. I ordered from their cereal milk menu which consisted of a fruit loops latte or matcha, Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte, captain crunch latte, and what I ordered, the strawberry Frosted Flakes matcha with oat milk, which was SO good. Somehow they were able to perfectly execute the taste in my opinion. It tasted just like you would think it would lol. I look forward to returning to try another latte! read more

Press & Porter is a quaint little coffee shop off the beaten path, for now as major construction continues outside. But nevertheless, patrons are flocking to this comfy little establishment to get a caffeine fix! The ambience is set the moment you enter, with the sweet barista's who greet you so warmly, to the smoking hot or ice cold beverage of your choice. The seating is optimal with plenty of natural sunlight. The pastries are delicious and locally sourced. There's a few other options from drinks to sandwiches and snacks for you to choose from. This establishment is clean and well-maintained, and even has an area for the little ones to make all their own. All in all Press & Porter is a welcome fixture in Cabarrus county.. I'll be back! read more

Ordered a white chocolate mocha hot. I like my coffee sweet and it was really good. Inside is a cute area for some downtime. Great little place to sit and catch up with a friend or do some work online. Lots of seating available. I also saw that they sold breakfast sandwiches to go, matcha, hot tea, Italian soda, mimosas, wine, and draft ipa!. You can add any of their extra flavors to your drink if you'd like to customize. Milk alternatives are available listed as Oat, Almond, Soy, and coconut. I can't wait to come back and add in some lavender. Service was QUICK and delightful! The little mini press and porter creation displayed by the register is adorable. How creative!. read more

I have visited this shop twice and have loved the vibes! The coffee is great & kid friendly.

I have been here numerous times and I absolutely love this coffee shop! The baristas are super friendly and craft the best coffee drinks. One time we asked the barista (wish I could remember her name!) to make us her own creation and she made one of the most delicious iced coffee drinks I've ever had. They have a great atmosphere and good chill music (think Noah Kahan, Hozier, Mt Joy, and The 502s). Many comfortable seating options, and some board games or puzzles to keep you entertained. They have fun seasonal drink menus that they change periodically. Great place to study, get some work done, or catch up with friends. This is definitely one of my favorite coffee shops and have recommended it to many friends and family. Extra info: It is also connected to the bookstore next door through the back hallway as an added bonus! There are two private gender neutral bathrooms available in the back hallway. read more

There are MANY coffee shops in Concord. As I'm making my way through them, I'm finding my favorites and this is nearing the top of the list. A few quick and dirty reasons, the coffee is always amazing (although I'm a flavored oat milk latte girl), they serve food (some egg sandwiches and grab and go), and their prices are reasonable. My husband and I walked there on a weekend morning to get coffee and an egg sandwich, we learned you have to get there early because they only had one of the two selections left by the time we got there. Still worth it. Why are there not more breakfast options in Concord?!! I don't know about you, but I'm tired of paying almost $9 for a flavored latte with a milk alternative. I almost fell over when I ordered one at 'another' place and the price was $8.something. Here they have 'staff picks' which have oat milk as part of the drink, so it's not 'extra'. It's refreshing. They also have beer and wine and it's a nice place to do some work (although some people take advantage of this too much - I don't want to hear your meeting). I'm not sure of another place where you can get all of that. And it's right in downtown Concord. Yes, the current construction is annoying, but there is a free parking garage literally a two minute walk away. Don't be lazy. So to sum it up, it's a beautiful place, with nice staff, great coffee, you can get a bite to eat, then a glass of wine, and even if you spill something on yourself they sell T-shirts and sweatshirts. I'm not sure if we could ask for anything more. Oh, pastries, they also have some pastries! And maybe even ice cream, I don't remember, better you go look. read more

I enjoyed my first visit to Press & Porter. Location: The downtown location is very convenient. We were able to walk to the coffee shop after a visit to the local library. There is street parking and a parking garage nearby. Atmosphere: The patio offers several tables and it is perfect for a cool day. There is plenty of seating and tables inside including a couple "conversational" areas and a kid friendly area. Good place to get some work done or chat with friends. Everything was very clean (even the bathroom). Food/Drinks: I tried a classic Chai Latte. It was made pretty quickly and tasted great. I also tried some of the Kombucha. Not my jam, yet hubby enjoyed it. They had a few baked goods available, but I would like to see more options. read more

Delicious coffee. The spiced toffee latte (seasonal menu) was not too sweet with plenty of bold spices. Would absolutely come here again!

I've been coming to this place for a year now and I'm so sad to have just moved away. The special monthly drinks were my favorite. I tried a London fog for the first time off their January orange menu and my god was it fantastic. My tried and true is the 'I love you so matcha' which was from the seasonal menu of Feb '24 which is basically a vanilla matcha latte with strawberry cold foam on top - my everyday drink. You will be missed guys! read more

Cute, quaint little coffee shop in downtown Concord. Walkable from a few stores. There's construction on the street, so parking isn't overly ideal; however there is a parking deck within walking distance that's free. They have a great selection of seasonal coffees, and a delicious chai latte. My absolute favorite was the dirty chai with pumpkin cold foam. I never order anything pumpkin flavored, so that should definitely be telling. All of the baristas I've encountered were very nice and there's decent seating, but best to takeaway. read more

We love press and porter! They always have seasonal drinks on top of great regular choices. The atmosphere is really chill, they have grab and go type food, plenty of parking behind, private bathrooms and are connected to goldberry books next door. This is one of our favorite spots in concord. read more

Happened to stop by Press & Porter while in Concord and had the most delicious foamy & spicy chai with almond milk. Just perfection and such a good price: 16oz for $6! Can't get that in Huntersville! Very nice staff & quick! The shop itself has lots of different seating and couches and is fairly quiet. I parked behind in the 3hr public parking instead of on the street and there were lots of empty spots. Now that I had this perfect chai, I'll be back! read more

I stopped in today after visiting Goldberry Books and I'm SO glad I did. I ordered the Maggie which is made with oat-milk. I had the right amount of coffee, oat-milk, honey, and cinnamon and went down so smooth. This place is better than Starbucks hands down. Try it and you will not be disappointed! read more

Overall a good experience. I will come back again to check it out because I really love the owner and her philosophy on things... They were pretty busy when I got there and seemed like struggling maybe just a bit- walked inside to order no greeting. Impersonal and apathetic vibe. But. Cute place, lots of comfortable seating and very convenient in downtown concord. Possible the only local coffee shop. Also, there's a dog in here. Not a service dog just a dog hanging out- not all dogs are safe. But thats so common at Coffee Shop's now - not a deal breaker... Oat milk latte was pretty good, a tad foamy but yummy enough. I got a second one! Also they have breakfast sandwiches and pastries as well. Nothing appears to be organic or clean food, but I didn't get a chance to ask this time. read more

We were so pleased with our experience at this lovely coffee shop. The atmosphere was chefs kiss. The barista was so friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our drinks.

I wanted to love this place. It's super cute and moving back to the area I was so excited about having a choice besides Starbucks. The first time I loved it, loved the atmosphere and my drink was perfect. The second time my drink tasted totally different, although I ordered the same thing, and I was a little disappointed. I did ask them to adjust it to which they did and it was better. The third time it was different again, way too bitter, not enough oat milk. Not sure I'll give it another try. Consistency is so important!! read more

stopped in for work except there's nothing to work on... so, well, maybe get coffee and a cookie? turned out to be a much better option than actually accomplishing anything :-) choco-mint cookie was a bit spendy but very good. merchant's choice fresh and soft out of the delivery bucket and into a parchment sackette for my snacking pleasure. didn't know what I'd got until we were down the road on our way to Mt Pleasant and other business but bits of peppery mint layed up against the chunky chocolate in a tasty-full way. straight black drip is a bit rougher than I prefer but ought to appeal to everyone else on the planet because that seems to be the way it goes lately... the coffee is espressive on a level better suited to a 6 oz flat white than a 20 oz traveler (loud and proud rather than politely assertive) perhaps I'll have a go at something else next time through. read more

Super cute coffee shop with fun options. I took my kids here a couple days ago and we had a nice experience. There are organic snacks and treat options which I really appreciate. My kids got one of their fruit popsicles and I tried one of their drinks. I got a "Goldenberry" tea which is kinda like Starbucks' shaken ice teas. It had iced tea, mint, and lemonade with a peach syrup. It was a little too sweet for my liking but I think that's personal preference. Nice staff and cute and cozy atmosphere. read more

Coffee is something that as of late has been a major part of my routine. In my case I almost always end up at Starbucks or Dunkin. 99% of the time my drink is made flawlessly and I feel as if the price I paid for satisfaction was worth it. Because we only live once I decided to venture out of my comfort zone (my first mistake) and try some new coffee. I was immediately reminded why I don't do this. I got "the maggie" which sounded pretty amazing from the description. I eagerly opened my straw and took a sip just to be met with pure bitterness and cinnamon. The coffee did not mix whatsoever and the honey sat at the bottom awaiting to be a part of the drink. I was forced to throw it out. The only thing that saved this establishment from a one star review was how cute this place was. Side note: the employee was very friendly, the coffee was just bad. read more

First time visiting this place, but it's a great new spot and addition to the downtown scene. The space itself is beautiful and very open, but can also be a little noisy when every table is full. The woman working was super friendly and quickly took/fulfilled my order. They have a few baked goods, today it was two kinds of scones and some cookies. I decided to try the Banana Nut Scone and the house blend hot coffee. Both are very good. The icing on the scone is a little sweet, but it offsets the dry texture of the scone itself. It'd probably be delicious warmed, but I didn't even think to ask! I think my favorite part is all the different seating options in the shop. They have small tables, tall tables, counter spots, and some arm chairs. In the back room they have a longer table that would probably fit 9-10 people. They also have some games and books in the back room area. I'll definitely come back and visit in the evening (they have wine and live music) and other times of day. I'd love to see them add a few more breakfast/snack options and then they'd be my standalone favorite in downtown, especially considering the donut shop has limited hours/days of being open and this place opens bright and early. read more

Nice coffee shop located in downtown Concord. There is a public parking garage right around the corner. However, I was lucky to find street parking right in front of the shop. The inside of the shop is very open with several seating options - stools, tables, and couches. The barista was very friendly and quickly brought my drink out. I ordered a vanilla latte which was a really good cup of coffee. Price-wise it is similar to what you would pay at Starbucks or Dunkin. They have limited options for food with a few pre-packaged snacks, a scone, and donut from a local shop. Worth a visit if you are in the area. read more

Walking thru The cute town of Concord, we seen this coffee shop was open. Decided to give it a go and was not disappointed! The girl working the counter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the shops offerings. We decided to go with a Cortado ( Cuban drink of an espresso shot with sweetener) and one of their seasonal drinks, the pumpkin pie latte. The girl explained this drink was less sweet than the pumpkin spice latte they also offer but that it was made with pumpkin purée -SOLD! We ordered that and man was it good!!! It was as she described, not too sweet but enough to give you a yummy taste as if you were eating a slice of pie. Thoroughly enjoyed that drink!!! makes me want to go back there before the season is over. The cortado was also delicious!!! So smooth!!! We are from Southern California where we have Porto's to go to for some good cortado but I would have to say the first thing that came out of my mouth after taking the first sip of Press & Porter's cortado was that it was better than Porto's!!! ( if you don't know about Porto's, Their locations are always crazy busy and for good reason!) I will definitely be a frequent visitor here ( to try out some more of their offerings) even though I'm a good 30 min north from here, this place is worth a visit and has good vibes in it to hang out! Highly recommend! read more
