Press Coffee, Crepes & Cocktails

About

Press is a cafe on Hillsborough Street in downtown Raleigh, on the ground floor of the 400H tower. It opened in 2024 and describes itself as a European cafe with a Carolina twist, with a large outdoor patio out front.

Breakfast, brunch and lunch are served seven days a week. Crepes are the house specialty, made from scratch and available sweet or savory, and the coffee and cocktail menus give the room two very different uses. You can work through a morning here or settle in for a glass of wine later.

What to know

  • Breakfast crepes are on the menu all day.
  • Weekend specials include a hash brown waffle the cafe is known for.
  • Avocado toasts, signature sandwiches and salads fill out the menu.
  • Counter Culture was the cafe’s first coffee partner and set the standard for later vendors.
  • Brunch drinks lean rum-forward, beside older classics given modern twists.
