I came on the weekend, and our waiter said the crepes are made on the same surface as the regular crepes - but that they could wipe it down.

I didn’t want to risk it so I did the hash brown waffle, she said this was what most celiacs got and it’s there “closest option to gluten free” they offer. No gluten goes into the machine that makes them, only risk of CC being in a high flour environment.

I got the hash brown waffle with the kimchi crepe filling on top (you can get any crepe on a hash brown waffle for $5 more) - it was really flavorful and the hash brown was crispy around the edges.

Cute atmosphere and fun flavor combinations, tons of options.

We just finished eating at Press. We were seated right by the kitchen so we could watch the expeditor (person that garnishes the meals). Unfortunately she touched all food with the same coming out of the kitchen before adding the final touches. We pointed this out to the person that brought our food to our table so they could remake our food with clean gloves. With my daughter’s crepe the expeditor pressed the crepe down with her unclean gloves the first time. The second time the kitchen called out change gloves and we saw her change her gloves before handling our food. If you don’t have a reaction or are sensitive then you will have no issue. If you are celiac or very sensitive stress they change gloves before handling. The food was delicious.

99% certain that they served me a fully gluten item, even though they claimed there would be no cc and it was made in its own space in the kitchen. Super disappointed.

The buckwheat crepes and hash brown waffles are delicious!! We got the traditional hash brown waffle and the portobello mushroom waffle. For the crepe we chose the turkey Brie and it was so good!

WOW. Between 4 of us we each had a different GF crepe and loved them all. My 3 friends (all not GF) loved the buckwheat crepes in both sweet and savory forms. Will definitely be back!! Gluten free things not marked directly on menu, but they list that most things (Crepes and bread) can be subbed for GF. The gal who took our order was very knowledgeable and reassured me of processes to keep everything GF and reduce cross contact.

GF crepe is like a flattened sponge. They said they would “wipe out the pan” for me. I ended up eating just the inside of the crepe and did not get sick. However they though gluten free meant dairy free and left out the cheese, so it was basically chicken, ham, and bacon … that’s it. Underwhelming. This is great for those who are GF by choice and who like spongy crepes

The GF crepes were a very ugly color and did not look appetizing at all. They were very thick and the Southern Crepe was lacking in flavor. The coffee was pretty good at least

Great service and staff is very knowledgeable about Gluten - specifically for celiacs. During the week I can only have the strawberry spinach salad with grilled chicken. The GF crepes are not safe due to cross contamination and the staff will tell you that. The hash brown waffles for brunch ARE celiac safe and if you ask can get crepe toppings on the hash brown waffles.

So so so good. And cute! Hash brown waffles are GF crepes have optional GF batter. They don't have a dedicated crepe surface on weekends but will clean a surface and use clean tools for spinning crepe. Also have GF bread for sandwiches.

Food and service was amazing. Not sure about cross contamination, but they can make any crepe as gluten free and had menu items listed as gluten free.

Honestly one of the best meals I've had in a while. Coffee was tasty too!

Our experience at PRESS was phenomenal. Our niece has celiacs, and was so happy that she could enjoy many items on the menu. She said it was the best meal she’s had in awhile!!
