Innovative blend of two very different restaurants. This will be to Yumas benefit! A Bistro meets Baja Cuisine! Now open at 6 am for breakfast. A place for good food. It's been ages since I dined at The Press... the decor has changed. I remember well the mint infused cold pea soup I had last time! Today... Breakfast. avocado toast. ($8.00) the smashed avocado Feta cherry tomato's on toasted focaccia triangles. It was filling. Everyone else 4 customers were ordering iced Mexican Hot Cocoa. It must be yummy!! For me I was craving just a cup of coffee. The only way to achieve this was by opting for the Americano. Gulp ($6.00) Wait wait... hold the press... (haha) they do have a refillable Mug of coffee for ($4.00) that's a bit better considering it's likely to be made with the same roast as their espresso beverages. My Americano was good. However with no Whole Cream available Half and half had to suffice! I guess this explains why they do not serve a Cafe Breve. :( If you serve it we will order it). At the least you have whip it up as a topping for that delicious Mexican hot cocoa and other delicious sweet beverages and desserts! The avocado toast was tangy. A vinegary flavor permeated every bite. It was not in the herbed olive oil drizzle on the plate, and it was not the feta which I love. Hmmmm. The gentleman (perhaps Andrew whose name appeared on the receipt) who took my order took a few precious moments to secure my return by sharing which menu item Best represents his vision of Baja Cuisine! For this reason I look forward to coming back! The menus of the Baja Viches and The Press will fuse! I see many Tortas being served on the traditional Focaccia of The Press. The Hispanic influence on the Bistro cuisine is inevitable! It's liable to become a Fusion no one could have invisioned!

hot Pistachio latte

It's like hole in the wall type of coffee place in Yuma. I want to try locals and checked on this one. Going back to San Diego from Scottsdale, AZ, the best place for a rest. The place is clean, charming and the staff is very nice. He made the coffee with passion not like the Keurig-type coffee. I ordered the hot Pistachio latte and my husband hot Chai Tea. Not sweet... We both like what we ordered.... and the waffle... awesome!!! Highly recommended if in case you'll be around this town.

Vegan blueberry muffin

I've visited Yuma a handful of times and just heard of this place on my last visit, upset I didn't visit sooner! The have vegan options! The freeze isn't vegan but the owner made it vegan friendly for me, didn't know until he asked me about it. And the blueberry was delicious! (Visited last year and I'm trying to remember everything). And the sandwich is one of the best I've had! I remember trying to find another sandwich like this for a few months. The inside was quiet and clean, plenty of tables and chairs. Loved the decor and the bathrooms were clean. Don't know when is the next time I'll visit Yuma but this this place would be the first restaurant I will visit!

The Press Cafe did not disappoint, I was in the Yuma area and was craving Bisciuts and Gravy for breafast and obvioulsy I searched on my Yelp app and this place showed up. You order at the counter and they will bring your food to the table, I came at a very slow hour, 11:00 AM, only 3 othe rtables in the whole restaurant and since I was on a work trip it was perfect for me. The do have WiFi and I was able to get some work done while having some great coffee and food. I ordered the Biscuits and gravy with a side of sausage, and it was very yummy. The coffee was excellent, they have a self serve station for coffee, Iced Tea and water, so unlilited refills. The ambiance is Cafe Quiet, nothing too loud. Decore is great! The girl behind the register was super nice and helpful. they seem to have alot thingd on their menu and some great specials, the sandwiches looked mazing, I will definately be coming back next time am in town. Cheers!

You order first at the counter. Then sit down. It's super quiet in here and can hear other peoples conversations. Self serve area to get your own water, napkins, condiments. I ordered The Breakfast Burrito and half an order of biscuit and gravy. The burrito has three eggs, shredded meat, avocado and cheese. They press the burrito so it has these grill marks. Gives a bit of crunchiness. The sauce is a house made spicy sauce but it wasn't spicy to me. Good sauce though, so ask for extra. The gravy with sausage was really good but the biscuits could have been better. It wasn't soft or moist. I got the Mayan freeze tea. When you get the blended ice version, it's sweeter and they add whip cream. It has a chocolate earthy taste and 1.5mg caffeine.

Biscuits and gravy side pork belly
Stephanie B.

Always amazing!! There food is memorable and beyond amazing. The breakfast options are all very different than the usual traditional breakfast. I love their rising sun breakfast, brisket and shrimp breakfast burrito, waffles and gravy with side of pork belly. My favorite coffee is the Mexican Mocha. The ambience of the place is wonderful very relaxing they have a wonderful playlist.

Order here.
Donna V.

So much potential! Most reviews I had seen were for breakfast items. The Salad was awesome. The soup should have been. This Chilled Mint Soup excited me on the special board. I should have gone with my first choice, the Roasted Tomato. Sadly the beautiful green soup overtly peppery and had a strange grainy texture. Fresh home made bread is a good thing of preparation doesn't toughen it as the top to my sandwich was. The sandwich was missing two ingredients listed in its description. It is possible that the onions were in fact present just cooked down in the caramelization process to a vague memory. I'll not lose hope, afterall, I do believe The Press has merit! I'll be happy to find reasons to Love and recommend it abundantly!

Great lunchtime
Geralyn Q.

Absolutely a wonderful delight! The press sandwiches are very well orchestrated for taste The coffee and ice drink's satisfying The atmosphere is pleasant and the music refreshing for the tone of the room IS organic The Soups have home touch and creative Groups or gatherings of church social s are missing out IF they have not discovered this place!! Good family place too

Sundar K.

Simply an amazing sandwich place... had some wonderful food in Yuma AZ !! We had their Imperial and sandwiches. The prices were nominal and the quality and quantity were ..... aaaaa lot !!! I would definitely comeback here again and would recommend it to anyone.

Melt with sun dried tomatoes instead of fresh and added mushrooms. 10/10
Tianna S.

I don't know how I've gone so long without reviewing this place. I seriously can't say enough good things. Food is always delicious, restaurant is always clean, service is always amazing no matter who is working. It's nearly impossible not to strike up a conversation with the owner if he's there when you come in. He's so personable and we always have good conversation. At this point we've had almost every sandwich here and you really can't go wrong. As someone who is currently pregnant and has a hard time eating out I love that they let me customize it to my liking and also let me try the soups or gravy before ordering so I can make sure I can eat it.

the press cafe and bistro

What I liked most about The Press Cafe is the menu, created by Chef Michael, the owner, who penned a most excellent and yummy description of homemade pressed sandwiches, salads, soups, and breakfast fare. What I liked least is that I didn't get to sample everything on the menu. No single meal exceeds $12. I had a half-serving of my favorite breakfast, scratch biscuits and sausage gravy for $6. It was heavy in calories but oh so delicious. Anytime I'm in Yuma, I will be sure to enjoy a meal at The Press.

The atmosphere is so inviting that my cousin and I made ourselves comfortable in one of the seating areas and enjoyed a long conversation. It's the kind of place where you can truly relax and unwind. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm visiting Yuma! I recommend!

My girlfriend was supposed to have her car serviced at the dealership today. A wrench was thrown in the works, so the three of us met for breakfast. My boyfriend and I had already had breakfast, so we ordered off the lunch menu. I had a fried chicken sandwich, he had the chicken Caesar wrap. GF got the churro French toast breakfast plate with poached eggs and bacon. The waitress (Caitlin?) didn't pay much attention to our table. When we got our food, the fried chicken breast in the sandwich was lukewarm and she didn't ask about any sauce (ranch, etc) for the onion rings. The lady had to ask for the poached eggs and bacon. Also, she ordered an iced mocha with oat milk and caramel. Correct me if I'm wrong, but nowhere on the menu did it say that oat milk is an additional cost. Caramel was an additional cost. For a puny little iced coffee it ended up being $10. No refills. And we had to ask for ranch. She filled up my boyfriend's water glass and not mine. If it's empty, fill it. It's a hundred and something outside, please make sure all your guests are hydrated. The bill was $70. The lunches were extremely overpriced for what we got, to be honest. I know that prices have gone up and that inflation is a thing. I get that, I really do. The chicken sandwich was definitely not worth $15 and although the onion rings were good (and I'm thankful we weren't charged extra for them), it was still a letdown. This was akin to a $12 combo meal at a fast food joint. The first time I was here was a couple months ago. I had ordered the Denver omelette and when the waitress came out, she brought the wrong omelette ,(the three meat) out and didn't even try to correct her mistake even AFTER I had said it was wrong. That waitress was also inattentive and ignored us for the majority of our meal. We don't eat out a whole lot so it's a treat when we do. Less of a treat to receive subpar, overpriced food and subpar service. Sorry.

Perhaps the best kept culinary secret for those seeking breakfast or lunch La Cocina should be on every Yumans radar! There is a refinement to La Cocina and yet it's a relaxed environment with lovely contemporary Hispanic instrumental music. An outdoor patio offers Second floor views of what keeps Agriculture epic. Today newly planted fields were being watered with sprinklers and others beyond were fresh with new green! Look to the west and the view is of a proud Arizona community with lush tree tops rising above. Care has been taken in the decor of this comfortable establishment quite suitable for a casual ladies brunch or a business lunch. Chips and salsa are served in an elevated manner from what we have come to expect. Place settings are clean and glassware l The menu offers lighter versions of Rellenos, tacos and tortilla and lettuce wraps even Burgers! Slices of cake are ample, cheesecake and tiramisu are also available! Tuna tacos were the special but as I am a big fan of Rellenos the Au Gratin Tuna Chili Rellenos appealed to me. Never in a million years would I have combined my mothers tuna salad recipe minus pickles with Ortega style green chilies. A salad of lettuce and two thick slices of tomatoes were dressed with a delicate oil and vinegar combo. I might not order this dish again but it was light and yummy. The Sowthwestern Chicken Salad with a double baked potato sounded yummy too! Starbucks beverages are featured and the prices for coffee beverages are excellent! (And I'm not a fan of Starbucks) Meet Candy when you dine! The story of La Cocina will touch your heart as it did mine! Oh... be sure to order an espresso with your Dessert!

Yep it's back by popular demand but it's now called egg in a nest. What the heck? Anyway every one ordered something different and we ate to our hearts content and had no complaints whatsoever about the food, the ambiance or the cleanliness. Chicken fried chicken dinner evaporated from his plate. The burger and onion petals seemed to have delighted the nephew. One of the ladies in our party seemed happy with her chicken strips, which were more than abundant! Another ordered a diet plate of some sort with cottage cheese and sliced tomatoes and was especially happy. A new item on the menu appealed to another. Louisiana shrimp skillet. Was flavorful, and those who tasted the nice portion of shrimp agreed that it was surprisingly delicious. The side, dishes of okra, and greens are always favorites. All of us commented on the new menu. Although we missed the old format, this one is easier to hold, and the print is bold enough that you're not needing to use your flashlight if you're older like we are. We are thankful that the menu has the old favorites, something new and that Cracker Barrel values its customers. It's such a nice thing to be able to travel and dine at any location and feel like your unfamiliar surroundings. But I wonder why is that there are so many locals who freely admit that they have never yet dined here? One maintenance issue... the latch on the ladies handicap stall door is STILL needing to be fixed! One issue with our visit. Not once were we offered refills on beverages.
