“ Great spot in Twain Harte. We have a place locally and I think they filled a void. The coffee and beer/wine selections are great. Perfect for a morning coffee and breakfast run or an afternoon bite with a beer. Beer selection is top notch. Love this spot!! Check them out! ”
“ We stumbled in here with local friends over Thanksgiving week and ended up staying a whole afternoon. Wonderful food (and great value), best coffee in town, and super friendly staff. Twain Harte is a great town to visit but Local Press makes it a great place to stay and dine--best in town! ”
“ Wished we stayed for food but we had a quick coffee and muffin stop over. It’s a cute coffee place. Love the ambiance. ”
“ I've had a pretty dang good chicken sando here in the past, so I was excited to finally find time to swing by for a burger. 16 for a Shack burger and fries, not including tax. The pros: super friendly and fairly fast service, a clean dining room, and cold beer on tap. The cons: transparency. If you are out of brioche buns just say something! I would have ordered something else if I had known... -UPDATE- I went back in to try again, sorry I didn't call first, I wanted the most unbiased experience possible! And I'm pleased to say it was indeed a good experience. I made the exact same order, and dined in so I would be able to enjoy a quiet meal by their wonderful little fireplace. After a short wait the gal from the front brought out a great looking burger (on potato buns as advertised, not brioche, I'm dumb when I'm hungry) and a decently large handful of fries. There was nothing skimpy about this set up! Even the pickles and tomato were sliced thick, but not in a way that made the burger too sloppy. I mean, it was a little messy but nothing I would consider a deal breaker. Fries were absolutely piping hot and seasoned perfectly. The beef was cooked thoroughly but not overdone, and gave me the impression this was a hand pressed patty that hasn't seen a freezer. Bacon jam? Uh yes. Overall I'm glad I gave the Local Press another shot. It's a great little restaurant with solid integrity, and the attention to their customers and little details make this spot a must. I will be back to try their breakfast, and the handcrafted Lotus drinks. ”
“ Food & drinks are absolutely delicious! The fried chicken sandwiches are just absolutely the crispiest and full of flavor. The live music is always fun and makes for a great experience! Service is great and the staff are always smiling and welcoming. ”
“ I recently visited Local Press, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, with the standout being the Blueberry BBQ Chicken Sandwich – a unique and flavorful combination that I can't wait to have again. The outdoor dining area was perfect for enjoying the fresh air, providing a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. The beer selection was impressive, with a wide variety of options to suit any taste. Overall, great food, great ambiance, and a great selection of drinks. I will definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend it! ”
“ My friends and I were in Twain Harte for a wedding, and we ended up going to Local Press four times during our stay. The coffee was delicious, and our crew generally enjoyed the offerings for breakfast. Our favorite discovery, however, was the speciality sodas! We LOVED the root beer, vanilla syrup, and cream one—absolutely delicious. ”
“ It's ALL GOOD!! But this day, I only ordered the hubs and I some lattes and took in some sunshine. The blueberry jalapeno chicken sandwich is my FAVE! Sadly it doesn't last long enough to get get a photo opp. ”
