Press Coffee - Skywater

Still one of my favorite indie coffee ☕️ houses in the Valley. Quality is still rock solid. However maybe Covid has impacted staffing or foot traffic.
For now at Skywater no hot food prep. You can get pastry and limited cold prep nibbles.
This location shuttered for a while during the height of the Omicron surge. Rumors afoot that staff was impacted and Press couldn't hire additional staff.
Hope that biz will rebound. Please Buy Locally! We need quality versus quantity!

Second to Press Nexa in popularity perhaps but certainly not lacking in atmosphere. Sitting next to Tempe town lake this Press will have all the Press standards with, dare I suggest, a more peaceful atmosphere. Great for studying, lots of natural light and often baristas on rotation between Press locations if you really want to get to know your local coffee crew.

It was so great to see a barista take the time to put a bit of latee art into the pour. Most places just slap a lid on your drink, and focus on getting you out the door and on to the next person. It's what a coffee house should be. And the drink was very good 👍

Pretty good vibes and atmosphere and the customer service was great! I ordered a mocha and an everything bagel with spread and they were good too. I like that they're generous with the spread (2 cups per bagel). The cafe is pretty small but makes for a decent study spot if you don't mind the occasional barking from the customers bringing in their dogs here and there. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back here again!

I love their ice coffee. Their beans are awesome. Staff are super friendly.
