Reviews Summary

Press & Porter is highly praised for its welcoming atmosphere and exceptional coffee, often described as a 'second home' by regulars. The friendly staff and unique drink creations are highlights, though some note that food items may have a slight wait. It's a beloved local spot that successfully blends a cozy cafe with a community hub.

"Nice downtown coffee shop! Indoor and outdoor seating. Varied menu. Classy live violin music coming from the book store next door."

Richard Berry

"We had a short visit to NC (Concord/Charlotte area). My daughter in law had found a bookstore and said there is a hidden door to the coffee shop on the other side. So, we had to get a coffee drink at Press & Porter, after visiting the bookstore. A lot bigger than I thought it would be.

☕️ Iced Maggie
☕️ Iced Dulce de Leche"

TC Yarman

"Best coffee shop in dtc! Love how friendly the staff is, and they’re always crafting drinks to perfection. Emily and Anna (owners) are a powerhouse sister duo and it’s a joy to stop in or come hang out and get some work done. They are welcoming of my whole (rowdy!) family, and their playlists are always spot on. My kids love to go to the library and then to “their coffee shop”!"

Your Complete Day Trip Guide to Concord, North Carolina

It’s easy to see why so many locals choose to start their day in Concord at Press & Porter: it’s incredibly cute and cozy with a menu of your favorite coffee drinks (just look at how sweetly they decorated the space for the holidays!). And while I didn’t personally have the chance to experience this, I suspect it’s also a great place to wind down the afternoon over a glass of wine or local beer. With a large bookshelf of available books and board games, I’d say you should feel comfortable lingering awhile.
