Presse Cafe

There was a fly in my sandwich, though workers are really nice and the food is good. I love the soup.

Not that there are a lot options if you’re already in the community centre, but this isn’t the worst thing that could of made its way into a community centre.
First, when you walk in, you’ll definitely smell it. Always seem to smell croissants when I enter the building, which I’m honestly not complaining about.
The coffee here isn’t bad, but not the best either. A good option for those of us that work in the community centre and are in desperate need of caffeine. They also have different sandwiches and soups, and the Prosciutto Sandwich I had was quite delicious.
The service is a bit on and off. The sandwich I got was heated on a panini press, but the bread was the only thing that ended up warming. The insides were all cold still. Ended up putting it in the microwave afterwards. My friend once got a soup, and the girl there forgot to turn on the heater (I guess), and tried to give him semi-​heated soup. Another friend gets a mixed coffee everyday, and they still cant get the order right.
They are super friendly though, and do try to their best to accommodate. Unfortunately it costs almost an arm and leg to get things there, with the sandwiches at $ 8+ and coffees at $ 4+. Not really worth it in my opinion, but you don’t really have any other options. They do provide free wifi, but it seems a bit redundant when the community centre already does that…
If you’re planning a day at the community centre, I’d recommend bringing your own food/​beverages… Just hurts my wallet too much!

It’s conveniently located inside the Cornell community center. Coffees and lattes are great.
Pastries are good but they are overpriced.
Sandwiches and soup are decent.
It’s a great place to grab a bite or drinks when you’re at the community center or library. Given the limited option, this is a great choice.

Just want to share a wonderful experience of Presse Café right in the Cornell Community Centre.
Great food. Very authentic. I ordered a catering for my husband’s birthday party at the Community Centre. Great smoke salmon, prosciutto sandwiches, roast beef sandwiches, fresh juice, fruit cups… Everybody are impressed with the quality, presentation, and services. Everything are wrapped around with lovely ribbons. Kids love all the food too. A great way to bring healthy food to a party. Nobody ask for junk food at all!
My 5 years old and 8 years old love the food and make it a family tradition to have Sunday Brunch there. A great start for a great week :)

Located in the Cornell Community Centre & Library, the brand has a nice, modern, and fresh look. It’s also part of a company that originates from Quebec!
I ordered a large chai latte that cost $ 4.00 exact ($ 3.80 excl. tax). The latte itself was yummy — I wish it were a bit hotter though so that the heat would last longer throughout my study time at the library.
I like that Cornell Community Centre & Library has decided to partner with this café company — it’s a nice change from other community centre food stands that offer the typical junk food fare and a great change from other big-​brand cafes.
I can’t wait to come back and make the Cornell library my study place — knowing there’s a nearby place for sandwiches, pastries, and coffee will make my study time here at Cornell worthwhile.
