What customers say

We were heading out of town on a road trip, and passed by Press Coffee. I'd seen their tempting social media posts, but had never visited. We decided to turn the car around check it out. It was definitely worth it. I love visiting locally owned coffee shops.

This was the first coffee shop I tried since moving to Iowa City and since trying other places it has remained a front runner. I’ve gotten their iced mocha in the past and it is probably my favorite mocha from any coffee shop I’ve tried.

Wandered away from the highway to find this place during my commute. I'm so glad I stopped in! The coffee was absolutely what I needed for my 2 hour drive and it tasted so good. The baristas suggested a seasonal latté and an espresso tonic that was not overly sweet.
