Open before (5am) and after (10pm) any other cafe I know, and with so many fresh and healthy choices (the menu is HUGE, and you can customize anything).
I was excited to try Israeli hot sauce and cream cheese with chive. There are tons of fun foods to try!!!!
Parking wraps around the place, and there is lots of it.
The bathroom and cafe are fully accessible (toilets are automatic).
Everyone was so friendly (especially for 5am). Service was quick and accurate and food was tasty!

I’ve been a fan of Pressed for several years. I love it (and wish they had a location closer to where I lived). The food is fresh & tasty, the portions are huge, and the menu is ridiculously extensive. We’ve started using Pressed for our work lunches because they have a group ordering system and there is something that everyone on our team loves. To Pressed: Keep up the good work- it’s clear you value service and quality. Also, open a location closer to Natick 😊.

Ordered the strawberry salad and the iced strawberry shortcake matcha beverage and everything was good!

There's a lot of options here and we got the banh mi sandwich which was stellar and a tiny bit hot. The potato salad is good, but pasta salad is a bit too sour for me. The iced coffee is fairly strong. Would definitely try out more options in the future.
You do have the option to either order at the front or go to a kiosk if you want to browse through the different options.

What Stands Out:
What stood out the most, was that every team member I encountered was so friendly, helpful and professional. The lovely young, great energy woman who took my order named Izzy (sp?) was very helpful when I was deciding what to order.
The Food:
There are many items to choose from Pressed's expansive and interesting menu. Our food and everything else I saw looked fresh and delicious. It really can suit most anyone's taste and dietary needs. I pretty much eat anything, but my friend is dairy and gluten free. There were so many options for her.
The portions are LARGE! I definitely could have turned my brunch into two meals.
Pricing:
The pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the large portions, freshness and quality of their food.
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere at Pressed is lively, upbeat, clean, comfortable and modern. There is a lot of seating (counters and tables) inside and a lovely outdoor area for the good weather.
Location:
The location is great because it's on a main street with everything from clothing, to sporting goods, home design, food markets and more. You could spend a whole day in this neighborhood.
Pro-tip: It's a great menu, so I recommend taking your time to see all they have to offer - including their ready-made food and beverages. I also recommend ordering a few different plates, baked goods, etc., so you can get a real feel for it.
Overall Impression:
I've been to almost every restaurant around Newton, and I believe Pressed Cafe is the best all-around casual dining in Newton for food, atmosphere and service.

This is a good pace to eat fresh, healthy and tasty Mediterranean food. Conveniently located in a shopping area with free parking lots. Comfort seating, clean restrooms, pleasant interiors (somewhat casual, not fancy). The restaurant gets busy and crowded around lunch time, but still the lines are not too long, and it only takes a few minutes to find an open table.
The prices are a bit high, but fair for the quality of food and the generous portions.
Very good overall !

What an absolutely lovely café. I started one of my days in the area off at this café at about 5 AM, because it’s open then! I had the rainbow açai bowl, and could not agree more with the raving reviews. It is beautiful to look at and absolutely delicious. As I was leaving, I was watching fresh muffins be packed away into boxes, and I could not resist getting one. I picked up a blueberry muffin, intending to eat it later in the day. But sadly, it got smeared all over my face as I shame-ate it in the dark in my car. So much for the best laid plans…
I actually ended up going back in the afternoon, thinking I would pick up a couple of their wonderful-looking juices. I did end up purchasing several bottles of the delicious citrus something-or-other juice, to take home with me. But while I was at the register, I noticed the wonderful bags of warm soft pita, and I thought it would be rude of me to leave them sitting there all alone, unloved. So a bit later – while they were still warm, I dug in to try them with some wonderful soup. And…Wow! What fantastic bread this is. So fresh and fragrant and hearty and wholesome. And the citrus juice? Absolutely perfect. Refreshing and delightful. And I absolutely love that it comes in reusable glass jars.
And also WOW to the beautiful pistachio croissant, which I assume was meant to coincide with St. Patrick’s Day!
Sadly, I was only in town for a couple of days, so I didn’t get to try all the things I wanted to try. I think I would happily dive into about 80% of the menu. So it certainly will take me quite a few visits to get to try everything I want to, but so far – for me – they’ve hit it out of the park.

Israeli food is just the best food in the world, and Pressed Cafe serves the best Israeli food around here.
The shakshuka was spicy and tasty, and the spinach burrito was very interesting.

I've been coming here the past couple of months and I've tried something new from the menu every time and EVERY single thing has been a 10/10. The food is always served piping hot and the service is incredible - the servers are prompt and friendly. Great place to get some work done and enjoy some delicious vegan food.
