Located at Amoskeag Locomotive Works Business Park, The Fresh Chef Press is a healthy cafe offering a selection of smoothies, toasts, sandwiches, salads, acai bowls,overnight oats, color pops, small baked goods, coffee, tea, wellness juices, and puppy treats. The prices here are on the higher end for the area. The place is order at the counter or online and there is limited seating inside.
I've stopped in here a few times for lunch when I was in the area. I had a Burrata Caprese sandwich which was pretty good. Most recently, I ordered takeout and chose some specials including the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap ($16 plus tax) and a Cup of Lemon Chicken Herb Soup ($8 plus tax), paying cash to avoid the nominal upcharge for cards.
The wrap had fresh romaine lettuce, croutons, grilled chicken, parmesan cheese, & Caesar dressing in a flour wrap. The soup had pulled chicken, carrots, yellow pepper, soft ditalini in a tasty lemon chicken broth. Overall, the food here has been pretty good, but on the pricier side, hence the limited stops here for lunch over the past year. read more
