The Press An Artisan Cafe - Livermore

The indoor seating is somewhat limited, but that's to be expected in a café compared to a traditional restaurant. They have a self-serve water pitcher available, which is a nice touch. Our food arrived quickly, and it was all delicious. As for kid-friendliness, there are plenty of tasty and healthy options for children. In terms of parking, there is street parking available, but if it’s full, there’s additional parking a bit further down the street.

The food is consistently fantastic, and the presentation is equally impressive. My favorite is the Breakfast Sammie, and I enjoy changing up the bread options, which is great. The Elvis steel-cut oatmeal is absolutely delicious if you appreciate both sweet and savory flavors. The toast was good, but I’m not sure it’s worth the $5. Overall, a solid experience.

The paninis here are fantastic! I really enjoy mixing and matching different varieties. I highly recommend trying their seasonal specials and coffee too. I prefer sitting outside, as it can get quite noisy inside when it’s busy. Food: 5/5.

My friend picked this restaurant, and there was already a line before it even opened! I tried the Turkey Cranberry Panini, and while the edges of the bread were a bit tough, the panini itself was delicious. I also ordered a hot cocoa, and I think it’s the first time I’ve ever had one with a design made from the milk—such a neat touch! The menu had a great variety of options, and all the staff were friendly. There’s seating both indoors and outdoors, plus plenty of street parking available.

The best breakfast in Livermore, hands down! The food is honest and wholesome, the service is excellent, and the owner is both passionate and creative.
