All the staff are super friendly including the main proprietor named Mateo. He'll make you feel like part of the family as soon as you walk through the door.

Just like his Chocolate, Norman Love serves exquisite Gelati (Gelato in plural). The Gelati were smooth, and superb texture is much better than ice cream! What flavor of Gelato? Well, how about Chocolate, Lemon sorbetto, Egg Nog, Vanilla Fudge Brownie, Mango, Pistachio, Cookies and Cream, Mocha Almond Fudge, Smores, Caramel Pecan Turtle, Peanut Butter crunch, Rocky Road, Cherry Vanilla, Mint chip, and a few that I can't remember! With so many selections to choose from, you can easily look confused at the counter. Well you can spoon off a sample from your friends. Or better yet, come back next time or buy a pint to take home. It is that good! They even serve Crepes and Sundaes! It is simply amazing. A wonderful place to stop by after your visit to the Fenway Park South!

* Update- for some reason I can not respond or react to Donna's reply…read more Donna, thank you for the response and input. I was not aware requests could be made. Each time I have mentioned being disappointed no Bday cake was available, no one has mentioned this as an option, and actually tonight, I was told by one of the young ladies that in the 6months she has worked here, she has not seen Birthday cake as an option . PS- there are always lots of options/flavors (sadly nothing that compares to bday cake IMO) and the service is always great, so even though I choose not to get anything on these occasions when birthday cake is not available, my family still proceeds to get their favorites. So disappointing! We are from Indianapolis and our daughter lives in Bonita- we make it a point to come here everytime we visit (which is often)- twice now in April (the first week and this week) we have came here and no birthday cake ice cream! Parrots nest is NOT the same! Birthday cake has literally has been my absolute favorite since coming here in 2020!

The place is so cute and has so many yummy items to choose from. Here's what we ordered: ~Freshly-squeezed orange juice (seriously so, so fresh!!) ~Coffee ~Fruit tart ~Chocolate Croissant-So flaky, delicious, and STUFFED! You have to try their croissants! ~Egg Sandwich with scrambled egg, Swiss cheese, bacon, tomatoes, avocado and served with potatoes. This was the perfect breakfast sandwich! It was nice and filling and I loved the fresh avocado on it. This is a must order! ~French Toast made with Challah bread, mixed berries, maple syrup. The French Toast was nice and thick and the berries were so fresh! What a great breakfast! ~Steak and eggs. Prime strip steak, 2 sunny side up eggs, roasted potatoes. This dish was so nicely seasoned! ~Veggie Omelette with mushrooms, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and spinach. Such a nice, light option! I went back another time as well for more pastries and gelato! So good!!

With very limited seating inside the store, we were lucky to find a table in the hallway of the building. I like the sandwich a lot. The bread was fresh and filled with good balance of Prosciutto and Mozzarella. We have a sweet tooth and can't go without trying the desserts. We shared Cannoli, Sfogliatelle, Meringue, Maritozzo and Bombolone. Everything was yummy. The three of us enjoyed an Italian brunch in Naples, FL.

My wife and I really enjoy going to French Press, it's become our Sunday coffee spot. The vibe is…read moregreat, the atmosphere is cozy, and when it's running smoothly it's a really nice place to relax. However, during winter season when the snowbirds arrive, things get very hectic. The wait times become extremely long. You can easily wait quite a while just for coffee, and if you order food, expect an additional 20-30 minutes. By the time the sandwich comes out, your coffee is already finished, which kind of defeats the experience of enjoying both together. There is also a young girl frequently working the register who seems overwhelmed and inattentive. Orders often have to be repeated multiple times, even when clearly stated, which slows things down even more. It gives the impression that the front counter could use better training or stronger management during peak hours. We truly enjoy the vibe and want to keep supporting the place, but today's $12 panini was unfortunately not worth the price. Between the long wait and the quality not matching the cost, it made the experience disappointing. We hope they can improve organization and staffing during busy season, because it really is a nice spot with potential.
