The food is what really stands out. They have such unique flavor combinations that you don't find at your average coffee shop. I ordered the jalapeño popper sausage biscuit, and it was incredible.

The coffee is solid, and the café is in a great downtown location that's perfect for starting your morning or taking a break while exploring the area. If you're looking for a one-stop shop for both breakfast and coffee, look no further. We absolutely love this place and will keep coming back whenever we're in town.

The coffee isn't the best I've ever had, but it's still a solid option. I come here less for the coffee itself and more for the experience of slowing down, reading a book, or simply enjoying the atmosphere. If you're looking for a peaceful, cozy bookstore café with tons of charm, Pressed Books is well worth a visit.

We spent our first half hour in the kitty lounge petting many a friendly cat and were thrilled that a few were comfy enough to crawl into our laps. Our hearts melted! Cats are all healthy and well cared for, and the space is clean with LOTS of seating, cat towers, cat beds and play toys around. Of course, we fell head over heels in love with many of them. Afterwards we each enjoyed amazing desserts and beverages, served on an ultra-clean dining room with nice and comfortable chairs. The desserts were off-the-chart amazing! So were the coffee and other beverages. The kind gentleman who guided us and served our snacks during our visit was very gracious and friendly. We plan to return often, and encourage anyone who loves cats, delicious food, or a welcoming friendly environment in which to relax, to visit this delightful Kitty Cat Lounge.

I never saw her being anything but gracious and friendly with everyone who walked through her door. If you've never been, I highly recommend you visit. You'll love it!
