    The Kitchen Sink
    Shelby P.

    We love press! It's such a cute little cafe with really delicious food. When you enter you order at the counter then find a place to sit if you are dining in. The drinks come quickly and they will bring your food to the table if you are dining in. The sausage biscuit sandwich is the perfect little breakfast sandwich. Everything is always so good, highly recommend!

    Chicken & Waffle Stack
    Lucy B.

    Finally tried Press! I can see why this place always has a line out the door. We did have an incredibly long wait time to order, but the food came out great. Tried the chicken and waffles which was really good. My only suggestion would be to have two cashiers during peak hours

    Biscuits and gravy with egg
    Tyler L.

    Stopped in randomly for the first time on a Saturday. We came around brunch time so it was pretty busy, but we still got our food very quickly! We ordered a few different things to try from their menu as well as a couple coffees. Everything turned out excellent, and we were super happy and full when we left our table. We would definitely come back! Highly recommend their iced coffees, they are waffles, and biscuits and gravy! You order at the counter and get a number. Food will be brought to your table! Very easy and plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.

    Needed a quick bite and found this place. Multiple menu options and decent prices. Hot honey was good, but kind of took away from the great biscuit. Fries were abundant when ordering the side order of them. Casual atmosphere with a neighborhood vibe. Saw families and couples of all ages. Service was good and fairly quick. Would definitely come back if visiting again.

    Cinnamon Waffle with a side of bacon
    Terry

    We stopped in early for breakfast. The food was excellent, the staff was very accommodating, and the service was exceptionally fast. Coffee was perfect. A little pricey for what I would call "self serve ". We did not realize that it did not have a full waitstaff. You order at the counter and they deliver the food. The atmosphere was a little stark, but all in all a nice experience.

    Hash Bowl with Tots
    Richard B.

    We ordered the hash bowl with tots. It was very good. Lots of potatoes. Great flavor. Fast and friendly service. You order what you want and have a seat. They bring it to you with a smile. Very clean place. Lots of people for a early Sunday morning. That should speak for itself. Next I want to try thier breakfast sandwiches. They look awesome and I hear they are one of the favorites also. Enjoy.

    I love being able to order at the front and sit and wait for food!! Our food was ready very quickly and service was good. The tables were very spacious and lots of seats available indoor and outdoor. The food was literally AMAZING! We were all shocked and silently eating in enjoyment. All three of us tried each others food and couldn't pick a favorite. Absolutely coming back. They also have a wide variety of bottled beverages including seltzers, beers, juices, milks, etc.

    Burger with greens
    Kang Z.

    A good spot for quick lunch. I got the Press burger with tossed greens. The burger was delicious and juicy. A slight ding on the "tossed" greens being served with dressing on the side (a minor inconsistency). Service was sparse since you order at the front and seated yourself but everyone was friendly and polite. The food came out quick! The atmosphere was airy but there was a few crumbs on our table. Otherwise, the space was clean.

    Rye toast, Goetta, Brussel Sprouts
    Teagan H.

    1st time here. I ordered 3 items off A la Cart menu: goetta, rye toast, and brussel sprouts. Brussel sprouts were a little too oily for me, though good flavor. Rye is always good and it tasted like good homemade jelly. Never had goetta before anywhere, and definitely liked it! The place was pretty busy, but they cleaned a table for me pretty fast. The food came out in good time. Had coffee with my food and got back out on the road.

    Harvest bowl with tater tot base and vegetarian sausage
    Meera K.

    The long wait was worth it! The menu is very vegetarian friendly and customizable. We ordered the fresh start breakfast and harvest bowl with tater tot pancake and veggie sausage. We also enjoyed Christmas ale on draft! The blueberry and fig jam was soo good. Also really enjoyed the tater tot pancake base for the harvest bowl. The sweet potato was crispy and well seasoned. The place is also kid friendly although pretty busy for weekend brunch. They had high chairs for both heights of tables. Our 10 month old enjoyed smashed avocado and scrambled eggs.

    Breakfast bowl
    Zohabe B.

    After having a pretty poor experience at Press, I went back to give it one more chance and was much happier! The Thai bowl was fresh and flavorful and the waffles were solid. From what I can tell, the lunch options are better than the savory breakfast items. I'm looking forward to going back and exploring more of the menu. The last visit was a 2/5 and this was a 4/5, so I would say overall press gets a 3/5 from me.

    Hot honey chicken waffle
    Charles T.

    We waited in line for about 20 minutes before ordering at the counter and finding our seats. I enjoyed the casual ambiance of the restaurant. The food left a little more to be desired. We got the hot honey chicken and waffle, apple waffle and hot honey Nashville crunchy chicken with hot honey and mammoth row breakfast. The breakfast row platter had tough bacon strips and the eggs were not properly scrambled. The chicken sandwich wasn't as crunchy as I've had at other restaurants and the brussel sprouts were a tad bland. The apple on waffles were not aromatic but decent. Overall, I'd come back to try another item on the menu, but it'll be a while since there are so many options in Cincinnati for brunch. I'd recommend toast and berry, Maplewood, louvinoOTR or honey uninhibited over this place.

The Cuban sandwich is everything I've expected it to be! Super delish! You don't need hot sauce in my opinion, it's packed with great flavor. Btw, they have mass hot sauces to choose from. We tried 3 different kinds for our tots. My Mr really enjoyed his tacos. The seasoned tots were so good! Not greasy and tasted great with their signature sauce (tasted like a yum yum sauce). All hit the spot!!!! What a great experience and I can't wait to come back again and try other items on the menu, but my fave is hands down their Cuban sandwich!

Yet pride is a poor guide, and so I ate. The moment the meat touched my lips, all doubt was struck down. What I feared would betray me instead reshaped my understanding of what this feast could be. I speak without embellishment--this sandwich changed me. I took it crowned with pickles and drenched in extra pizza sauce, and the harmony was undeniable. The bread is magnificent--soft, yielding, and resolute all at once. The sauce commands the bite. This house stands constantly filled, and for just cause. Still, I will not deceive the realm: this feast is not for all. I brought my wife, and she found no favor in the steak hoagie. Taste divides even the closest of bonds. I have since sought its equal across many lands. I have failed each time. None compare. The wings are serviceable, yet they are but attendants to the throne. The steak hoagie is the crown itself. They name this place Legendary. In this, they speak truth. I grant this feast 5 out of 5 Tankards. By my palate. -The Food Lord, House of Golden Tongue

What's striking about the restaurant itself is how quiet and calm it feels. With limited nightly seatings and every dinner table doing the tasting menu there's a sort of orchestrated flow that permeates the space. Not to say energy is low or it's so quiet you feel self-conscious talking; it's just that nothing about the experience feels rushed or accidental. As expected, the bread course was phenomenal as was all the food we enjoyed! We opted for the wine pairing along with dinner, which results in about 1.5 or 2 full glasses over the course of the meal. The sommelier did an excellent job introducing and explaining each wine, as well as why it was selected to pair with each course. All told, a lovely experience and one worth repeating--and not just because the menu changes every season.
