The French Press

We had such a great experience at The French Press! The ambience is warm, cozy, and welcoming — the perfect spot for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. The food was fantastic: we loved the chicken omelette, huevos rancheros, and the chilaquiles — all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. On the drinks side, the ... macchiato was excellent, and the maple caramel latte was a real standout — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. This place is a gem with both great food and a great vibe. Definitely coming back the next time I am in Colorado. Read More

Huge menu variety, reasonable prices. I got the Veggie Bennie and my sister got the Shrimp Chorizo Bennie. Both were delicious but the flavors in mine were especially unique and went together so well. The employee at the counter was helpful and patient as we decided. I wish I lived nearby!

small restaurant but the food did not disappoint. eggs benedict are my go to and here they are filling and so good. they were generous with the ham. i prefer my potatoes a little more crispy but they had great flavor. almond french toast was delicious and even came with an egg and bacon. the service was exceptional ... even though it seemed like there were only a few workers. employees here work so hard. food came out very fast but we did come on a weekday. i will be coming back for sure Read More

This is my FAVORITE place in Aurora, CO. The food is reasonably priced, fast service, and the people who work here are nice and kind. If you’re in your uniform, they’ll automatically give you a military discount which is sweet. The savory foods, desserts and drinks are all highly recommended by me and my peers who had ... lunch here multiple times in ONE WEEK. Read More

French Press is one of our favorite places to eat! It has been a staples for us the past 10 years, we bring friends who live near & family who visit from out of town because we love this place so much! We love being our pets both fur & reptile alike! No matter what we eat here we are never disappointed because ... everything is amazing, from the shrimp & grits to the French Toast! Though my husband would say the Chipotle biscuits & gravy is the best option on the menu! The service is incredible & the outside seating is wonderful for animal lovers! Read More

1st time here. The food was amazing + the cost for what you get is great. The old school burrito with chorizo was on point. So was the biscuit and gravy.

This is a small restaurant with a big reputation- obvious by the number of people eating in the small space - having no issue packing in like sardines to enjoy a freshly made, delicious breakfast. They have indoor seating in every possible square foot of space and a little patio in front of the entrance. It’s a ... good sign when you see a small restaurant packed like that. I ordered the gluten free raspberry oatmeal pancakes with scrambled eggs and maple brown bacon- which had pepper on it (never had before and so yummy). My husband got the French toast, sausage and eggs, and our friend got the regular pancakes with sausage and eggs. A unique touch was the butter spread. It was made in house with the flavoring. So the raspberry topping was in the butter. It was super yummy! I also ordered the Winter Drink Special- the Peppermint White Chocolate Latte. I took a picture after I took my first sip, ruining the beautiful leaf that was in the mug, but you can still appreciate the quality of the drink in this picture. I definitely recommend you stop by and give The French Press a taste! You won’t be disappointed! 😋 Read More

The French Press on Iliff has quickly become one of my favorite breakfast and coffee spots. The atmosphere is cozy and laid-back, and it feels like the kind of place where you can start your day off right or meet a friend to catch up. The staff is always welcoming and patient even when the line gets long, and they ... move things along pretty quickly without making you feel rushed. The food is awesome. Their breakfast plates and sandwiches are super fresh and filling, and the flavors always hit the spot. The portions are generous so you definitely get your money’s worth. I’ve tried a few different things from the menu and everything has been solid — you can’t really go wrong here. On top of that, the coffee is excellent. Whether you’re into a simple cup of drip coffee or something fancier, they’ve got you covered. What I appreciate most is the consistency. Every visit feels the same in the best way: good food, great coffee, friendly people, and a relaxed vibe. It’s one of those places that makes you want to keep coming back. If you’re anywhere near Iliff and craving a good breakfast or coffee, this is the spot. Read More
