Press and Grind is a nice coffee house. It has very limited parking in front of the shop but lots of seating inside. It has an large menu of different coffee and non-coffee drinks. I got my regular oat milk latte which was meh. And a gluten-free cinnamon roll which was yuk! The cinnamon roll was pretty flat and pilled high with icing. The texture was more cake-like. The bathroom was very clean.This my second time visiting the shop. The first time I got a turmeric latte which was good but not real spicy considering it has ginger in it. I probably won't be back anytime soon.

A Wonderful Cafe Experience with Room for Improvement This cafe truly captivated us with its engaging atmosphere, friendly staff, and interesting food menu. The range of options was impressive and the quality of the dishes was equally commendable. Our orders were executed with expertise and the balance of flavors showcased the culinary prowess of the kitchen team. One of the standout experiences was trying their juice selections, which were nothing short of remarkable. Expertly crafted and bursting with natural flavors, they were a joy to sip on. Each mouthful was a refreshing experience that made us appreciate the careful thought and precision put into creating these concoctions. A big, well-deserved BRAVO to the team responsible! Despite the food and service being top-notch, cleanliness in certain areas left much to be desired. While the cafe interior, including the kitchen area, was spotless, the state of the restroom was a letdown. We found it to be quite unclean, which was surprising considering the otherwise immaculate state of the establishment. This is a crucial area where the cafe needs immediate attention, as it is a fundamental aspect of any dining experience and can significantly influence a customer's perception of the business. The staff was a definite highlight of our visit. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by warm smiles and friendly chatter. Their professionalism and genuine friendliness added a personal touch to our experience. Their dedication to maintaining a clean environment was evident in the dining and kitchen areas, and we hope that the same level of attention is extended to the restroom in the future. For those interested, I captured a snapshot of the extensive food menu and posted it . You'll find that their offerings cater to a variety of tastes and dietary preferences. To conclude, we truly enjoyed our time at this cafe and the overall experience was delightful. The food, drinks, and staff more than compensated for the one area of concern. However, I trust that the management will address the restroom issue promptly. Once this is taken care of, the cafe will undeniably be a five-star experience.

Press and Grind has a very nice atmosphere and is kept very clean and stays fairly quiet inside with ample seating, there is patio seating out front. The coffee was pretty good, definitely better then any chain brand but not the best in Atlanta either. The mini donuts were delicious; they have a cinnamon apple flavor to them and are worth getting if you're there. They also have many other pastries and a few sandwiches if you want an actual meal. The barista's at Press and Grind were all very nice and friendly and even caught on to me and a friend discussing the keto coffee they have on the menu. This made up for the lack of latte art on our drinks; they were to-go with lids on so it's forgivable.

Great coffee & pastries... service is nice & friendly. Very clean inside and larger than you would think. They have a small patio out front so you can watch all the passerby folks on Highland. The coffee is very good and the pastries are awesome/large portions. Bonus... the use Batdorf & Bronson coffee.

Great food, good coffee, wonderful atmosphere. This is the best coffee shop in the area if you want a proper place to sit down and spend some time enjoying a good sandwich, smoothie, or coffee. Don’t get me wrong, the other coffee shops in the area are great, but you just don’t get much space to yourself. Press and grind is a true “third space”. Enjoy!

Great atmosphere in heart of VaHi. Nice selection of tasty sandwiches and baked goods. Friendly staff. I tried the turmeric tamer and that got my whole circulatory system singing in a good way!

First of all, the space is beautiful and unique- dramatic vaulted ceiling with plenty of natural light and modern yet tasteful furniture. The coffee is good and the food options are extensive - I had a cheese and egg biscuit that was all made from scratch. You’re definitely going to get more than your standard pastry. That said, they do have an impressive pastry/desert display. The location is delightful - tucked away just off the main drag of “downtown” Virginia Highlands and between their lot and street parking, I’ve never had a problem driving there. As a personal anecdotal side, one morning I was there I was dressed nicely and was trying not to get my egg and cheese biscuit on my clothes. I was using small cocktail napkins from the prep station on my lap to catch crumbs, and one of the ladies working there noticed and brought me a full sized dinner napkin. I was very impressed by this gesture and attention I felt I was receiving as a customer.
