    Ordered breakfast and coffee online and it was so easy! This place gets busy so give them between 15-25 minutes just in case they are swamped. The restaurant is always clean and parking in the mornings (around 8am) is not a problem, as other adjacent businesses are not open yet. Staff were busy working but took the time to greet me and asked about my order. Avo toast is delicious and had a perfect blend of seasonings and ingredients. Their oatmilk chai is flavorful and their oatmilk lemon bar latte is a nice twist and offered a change from my usual (matcha or chai).

    BLTE with tomato soup
    Kari C.

    Went here for a weekday lunch. My goodness, they're busy! We haven't been here in a while. The "new" location is modern and very cute! Love it! We sat at a communal table until a small table opened up. Our coffee arrived very quickly. I got an oat latte with a beautiful design on it. It was great, lots of flavor, pretty smooth. DH's cappuccino was also great, but he has been spoiled by an incredible coffee place when we were on vacation, so he thought it was kind of bitter. I got the turkey pesto sandwich again, which was delicious. It's very thick, so I ate one layer at a time. Their bread is so yummy! The side salad was fresh and I loved the tangy vinaigrette. DH got a BLTE with tomato soup. How do they get the soup so creamy, lol! We ate everything, no leftovers, and were totally full. It was almost $50 before tax and tip. Seems pricey, but it's probably fine given the quality and quantity of food and inflation! Service was almost too good...they were super fast at clearing plates and cleaning tables. Overall, worth a visit if you're in the area. We hope to return to try some of their seasonal menu!

    Golden Latte
    Jessica M.

    I really enjoyed my time at The Press. I ordered the golden latte and the fry up breakfast, and both were delicious and satisfying. The service was amazing. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. The overall vibe was cozy and comfy, making it a great place to relax and get some work done. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

    Avocado + Citrus Toastini, $12
    Marvin M.

    This is one of our favorite brunch spots. Even if you study the menu ahead of time, they always have seasonal specials that you must check out. You order at the counter and then find a table. When the weather is nice, they have outdoor seating in the front and the back. We like the secluded area in the back, away from the traffic. They bring your food out to you. Water and coffee refills are self serve at a station by the door. The seating area inside gets kind of loud. That's expected since it's so popular. But you can still have a conversation at your table. We've tried quite a few things here (some photos attached). My favorite is The Nordic Toastini, Acme whole wheat sourdough toast with goat cheese, arugula, tomato, salmon, and a perfectly soft boiled egg. They also make wonderful baked goods. If you come late, the selection may be limited. Go before 10 for the best selection. The really good stuff goes fast!

    Iced Graham Cracker Latte
    Cynthia S.

    This place is wonderful. A couple things which could make things less wonderful are parking situation and table availability. But that's good because that means they're popular and won't go anywhere. I had their iced Graham crackers latte, which is very very yummy. 4.5/5 And their grits and eggs with bacon 4/5. Definitely get it with bacon... thank me later. They are a very popular spot, the place was busy from the time we walked in at 11:40 to 1:45. Constant customers.

    Summer Peach Panini w/ Turkey
    Katherine M.

    Always a favorite to eat breakfast/brunch. This time we tried the seasonal Biscuit sandwich with bacon and Maple Griddle cake sammie. The biscuit was made with added spinach, nice flavor and tender crisp outside. Maple sammie was made with delicious mochi pancakes, fennel sausage and egg...yummmmo! A must add side of cheesy grits! Always friendly staff from start to taking your order to taking your completed dishes away. First time sitting in the back, very nice quiet area to sit.

    Smoked Salmon Benedict ($21)
    Melanie H.

    Cute and casual spot for brunch with a farm-to-table focus! They have their seasonal offerings and weekend specials like benedicts and more. You order and grab a number first then find a table, as opposed to being seated first then ordering. Busy plaza on the weekends so plan to go in circles for parking. From the outside, I would've never guessed The Press was this spacious. Food is on the pricier end for a very simple brunch menu, but the ingredients and quality definitely shine. I would come back for the weekend brunch specials and try a toastini but pass on the paninis. RECS: + Smoked salmon benedict ($21) was a lovely pairing of buttery soft salmon and flavorful hollandaise on toasted levain. I'd come back for this! PASS: + Turkey pesto panini ($17) was very anticipated but a bit of a letdown, as there was no pizazz to the sandwich. I love turkey and pesto, and I especially love Acme bread, but this just didn't hit for me. Not the biggest fan of the overpowering balsamic vinaigrette on the side salad either

    Poblano Panini
    Ciara B.

    I really enjoy the Poblano Panini they have here. It's so melty and has some really great cheese! I love that it uses four pieces of bread, which really helps the structural integrity of the sandwich. Plus the salad on the side has a great dressing! Service is great too, you won't be disappointed by their welcoming attitudes!

    Graham Cracker Latte (top with oat, bottom with whole milk)
    Faith C.

    Love coming here for brunch for a cute and cozy space to catch up with friends. They have an extensive brunch menu with a ton of delicious options, as well as an amazing drink menu! This time around, I got the seasonal pear oatmeal and graham cracker latte. Both were wonderful! The oatmeal was hearty and lightly sweetened from the pear and toasted coconut shreds. The graham cracker latte was creamy and tasted of honey and a bit of cinnamon. We ended up having to sit outside for our party of three in the afternoon because it was packed inside ): Really pleasant experience, regardless--I defo need to come more often!

    Selcen Y.

    Rare to find a place with such incredible and INTERESTING brunch food with such good service and cozy vibes too. Would be coming here every weekend if I lived in the area. The chocolate mochi pancakes blew my mind a little bit. The biscuit sandwich was so good too!

    Tomato caprese
    Monica M.

    Super cute brunch spot. Place does get busy and seating could be hard to find. There is a back patio which I wasn't aware of. Inside is bright, open and welcoming. Menu had a good selection of brunch meals and I got the tomato caprese which was yummy and my friend got the tacos which she said was delicious! I knew it was good cuz her eyes got big and she said 'OMG!' Parking is a bit hard to find. Recommend to try!

    GLUTEN FREE Beets - Laura Chenel Goat Cheese - citrus toastini
    Ruth O.

    The breakfast sandwich was fantastic! So packed full of nutrients and flavor and a generous amount of avocado. I did not enjoy the gingerbread latte, it was very bitter because of the molasses! Not for me I guess! Still had a strong distinct flavor. On a Monday at 10am it was busy but not overly so. We found a seat. Service was as always friendly and quick.

    Fall in a bowl.
    Denise R.

    The Press is amazing with their seasonal menu. I came in for my go to latte and was seduced by the Pear-Fect Steal Cut Oatmeal. This beautiful bowl of poached pear and cranberries with toasted coconut,pecans and other seeds was so tasty and filling. It is so nice to be greeted everytime with a happy hello and very courteous floor staff ready to help with whatever your dinning needs are. It's nice to be able to eat inside or outside on the patio with lovely heaters if it's chilly

    i dont believe they do- it's more a first come first serve basis!

    Does your sandwiches come at with ciabatta bread anymore? We've ordered the breakfast sandwich twice in the last month and it always comes with sourdough bread, but we never requested for it.

    Hi Anne, the breakfast sammies usually come with ciabatta rolls unless we run out of ciabatta. This could possibly happen especially early in the morning when delivery is running late or later in the day if we run out of ciabatta. I’m sorry you… Read more

    They have many vegan options and could modify just about anything (for example, their smoked turkey Reuben sandwich they also make with beets, instead of meat- and it's fabulous!) And you've got lost of other vegan sandwiches.

    Do they have mimosas?

    Alas, no mimosas.

    Are they going to be open on MLK DAY this coming Monday January 15th?

    I think you'd have to call- but I would think they might be closed. They've been closed on other holidays.

    A Fantastic Family Brunch Spot in Downtown Pleasanton!…read more Tucked away on a charming side street just off Main Street, Le Palais Sucré is an absolute gem. We stopped by around noon on a Saturday and were thrilled to be seated immediately--which is a massive win for a weekend! Despite getting a table right away, the place had a great energy and was filled with people enjoying their brunch. They have plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating to choose from. The food and drinks completely delivered: * The Chocolate Bonus: My son ordered this, and it was a showstopper. A chocolate crêpe packed with strawberries, bananas, and Nutella, then topped with chocolate syrup and powdered sugar. This was hands-down one of the best crêpes we have ever tasted--absolutely heavenly! * Chorizo Omelette: My wife and I shared this, and it was divine. It was served perfectly warm, cheesy, and loaded with spicy pork chorizo, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and pepper jack cheese. * Mushroom Galette: Our second shared item was a savory buckwheat crêpe filled with mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms, and red onions, all topped with a gorgeous sunny-side-up egg. Another really good, flavorful dish. * Ham & Eggs: Ordered by my daughter, this came with a side of home potatoes and garlic toast. It was a solid, decent option that rounded out the table well. The Drinks & Service We ordered a Vanilla Latte and a Caramel Latte. Both arrived extra hot and featured some beautiful art on the foam. The vanilla latte in particular was exceptional--honestly one of the best we've ever had. To top off a wonderful meal, our waitress, Jocelyn, was incredibly nice and attentive throughout our visit. I definitely recommend Le Palais Sucré if you're looking for a fantastic spot for a family brunch or lunch. We will absolutely be back!
