French Press Espresso Bar

THIS IS A HIDDEN GEM ! Best place ever ! Everyone is super nice and the food is amazing, so much thought and love was put into all the details of this coffee shop and I love that it feels so homey. Food is fresh and amazing ! Truly better than Starbucks !! Supporting the small businesses that deserve it the most 🫶🏼

Wonderful seasonal food and drink options!! No shortage of options and the employees were courteous and friendly!!

This is a cute little coffee shop. It has a small outdoor seating area as well as a small indoor seating area. I had a tomato basil soup that was delicious. And the friend I was with had a honey cappuccino which they said was delicious but a little heavy on the honey. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Great little place. Definitely give it a try.

What a cute coffee shop! They have a very nice and welcoming decor, which is very unique! With lots of nice paintings on the walls and tables and fresh flowers on every table, it makes for a very welcoming environment. The drinks they have are also excellent!! The iced vanilla latte tasted great and the Arnold Palmer hit the spot perfectly. I will definitely be back to get more drinks!! Try them and give them a shot!!

This Sunday morning we found out about French Press espresso bar so the Queen and I decided to give it a try. It’s 3 weeks old to La Verne and always want to try not only new coffee spots but local mom and pops at that. It’s got a very friendly atmosphere as does La Verne in general which was very nice. We sat outside because we had our pup with us. The inside atmosphere is pretty amazing and well decorated and seemed to busy which is very nice to see as well. I had the Honey Bee latte which was very smooth and sweetened perfectly. My wife had the peppermint latte and we both had the breakfast burrito which was tasty yet light. Perfect morning breakfast to start the day. We will definitely be back! If you love coffee like we do then come on by and give your support to this new business in La Verne. Great owners and great coffee! ☕️ happy eating fam!

This coffee shop is absolutely delightful with its super cute Paris France vibes. The decor is beautifully Parisian-inspired, making it a charming place to relax. The baristas are super friendly and attentive, always providing top-notch service. The lattes and espresso drinks are phenomenal! I will definitely continue to come here!

If you need a place to work, study, hang with your pals, or read a good book... along with a great cup of coffee THIS IS THE SPOT! The coffee shop welcomes all, including your furry friends. I love their seasonal drinks. My favorite is the rose parade. A delicious dirty chai with some extras. Yum yum. The food menu has a good variety for all, but I am a lover of a good ole fashion BLT. They have the tastiest bacon I've ever had. They have a wide selection of pastries, too. There hasn't been one I didn't like. Always fresh! They have the convenience of door dash but I do enjoy going in and saying hello to the friendly folks.

We came across this beautiful cafe that opened its doors 9 months ago. Staff are extremely friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Their variety of food and drinks are very unique and delicious. Sandwiches are not oily or heavy. Haven’t tried their baked goods yet. Went twice already within a week. Will be going again for sure.

After reading this review go follow my foodie instagram @jwardhooper22 (Now for the review) This is a nice place in Laverne. They have a nice little section. You can go and sit down and it has a super cool theme to it. Its a Paris theme. It looks nice. I wasnt expecting the nice theme before i walked in. The service is good and everyone was nice. I recommend this place. Support small businesses. The food was good. Home cooked taste to it. Got a parfait also. Yummy in my tummy.

I found this cafe to be a delightful experience for my Sunday morning. All staff were attentive. The decor felt well balanced and fun. The food and coffee tasted wonderful. Can't wait to explore the menu in the future as well.

🍞☕️ Do yourself a favor and get the Mamma Mia! 🤌🏼🔥😳🫨 it was delicious! I also appreciate that they have several sugar free syrup options. Many other coffee shops only have sugar free vanilla, but FP has 4-5 different options, I love it! I’ve been in a few times. The service is always prompt and friendly. Keep up the great work FP!!!

I came in right before they closed only to see a rude customer ahead of me giving the barista a hard time. After she left, the barista still treated me and my daughter with kindness. I’ve been here before and it’s even better the second time around. I asked for their version of a vanilla sweet cream cold brew and honestly, it was pretty good! My daughter loved the muffin (I snuck in a bite myself and it was really good). I love that they have little games and books for kids. My daughter loved the decor, especially the yellow and pink chairs. The staff let us hang around even after they closed until we finished.

An excellent experience and food selection. Fancy schmanzy Grilled cheese, it was recommended by barista, it was delicious! I will go back for more. The young man was attentive and helpful. I was waiting outside in my car and they were bringing me my food. I loved everything about the atmosphere and environment, the simple yet gorgeous deco! Instantly a favorite!

First time here. Ordered after the 11:00am breakfastcut off. They misspelled my name: Duglous. Second, I got a cinnamon rolls and they did not offer to warm it. It was okay cold. May came back.

This place instantly became my new favorite place the moment I stepped food inside. I almost dont want to share this review because if more people find out about it I wont have the luxury of enjoying this peaceful, tasteful and eclectic cafe. But they deserve the praise. The team and the owner are super kind. Food and drinks are delicious. So far my favorite latte by far is the one with vanilla, honey and lavender. The breakfast sandwich on sourdough I added ham was super yummy!

I got an iced pumpkin spice latte with white chocolate. The flavors were alright, nothing special. I love my coffee man, but this place did not have the best coffee I've had. I'd probably pass on the coffee. The syrups they use and other flavorings sink to the bottom and are extremely hard to stir into an iced drink. So when I would take a sip, I’d have a glob of syrup and it was extremely off putting. They don't have the cream foam and that’s ok, it helps sometimes tho. The atmosphere is amazing. I love the French theme. The breakfast burrito was amazing. It was extremely fresh and clean tasting. I’d come back for the burrito if I were in the area. I also got the red velvet cupcake. It was a little on the dry side but the flavor was great. I also liked the amount of cream cheese frosting on it. It was the perfect amount!

I found this coffee shop as a halfway point to meet with my manager since we both work remotely. When we arrived, the place was a bit busy, but a kind couple made space for us at the front table with stool seating. The interior decor was nice and inviting. I tried one of the January special drinks, which was delicious, along with a chocolate croissant. My manager opted for tea and a bagel. Unfortunately, when her drink was delivered, the server accidentally spilled a good portion on my arm, pants, and scarf. They quickly grabbed a cloth to clean the table but then used the same cloth to dab the tea off me, which felt a bit careless. Despite staying for several hours and ordering a second round of drinks and dessert, there was no acknowledgment or apology beyond that moment—no offer of a replacement drink or any gesture of goodwill. Unfortunately, my scarf ended up stained. While the coffee and ambiance were great, the lack of customer service in handling the spill left a disappointing impression.

A very cute atmosphere, the food is ok but homemade, the coffee is a little weak. Cute place for the vibes and to sit down but I wouldn't recommend making it your go to spot.

I usually enjoy working at French Press while my dog is groomed at the Pet Depot, but my visit today was so disappointing. I arrived a little after 3 pm (about an hour before closing), bought an iced coffee (which was obviously in a to-go cup), and confirmed with the male barista that it was fine to stay and work on my laptop nearing closing at 4 pm as others who were there before me began to leave. While the male barista was very polite and friendly, the female staff in the kitchen came up to the front and began loudly complaining about customers coming in before closing and how inconsiderate it was while I, a customer, was sitting right there. She very clearly saw me and I was the only one there. I had already ordered, I made no mess for them to clean up after me, and was just working in silence. I was so uncomfortable with the loud and long ranting, that I closed my laptop, picked up my cup and left at 3:36 pm. Very unprofessional, and unfortunately I don’t feel comfortable returning. I really like this cafe and the owners are so welcoming so I'm sad that I now need to find a new place to work at while my dog gets groomed.

First time trying this place, probably the last as well. It's very loud and busy, so doing any kind of work is pretty impossible. I had the Matcha Bella iced with oat milk. I'm pretty sure I was charged about $1 for the oat milk, which wasn't advertised on the menu. I also ordered a 16 oz but the glass was 12 oz so I'm not sure what happened there. The actual matcha itself was really sweet, not for me personally.
