Pressed Cafe — Restaurant in Lawrence

First time at this location. Went through drive thru. A little annoyed the menu on the screen doesnt describe the foods like how the menu is when you go inside the Salem location...took a chance and ordered the grilled salmon power bowl, they had me park behind another car at the line and they hand carry your order to your window.. first guy that came up to me gave me salmon toast...i yelled out the window when i realized it was the wrong order "hey!!! I ordered salmon bowl!!"...guy walks away mumbling something under his breath, he clearly looks annoyed...now I'm starting to think I should have asked for a receipt, I have nothing to show if someone comes up to me with something else... few minutes pass and another guy hands me "sauteed salmon"....I said "I ordered the grilled salmon", he looks at the ticket on the bag, I look at the ticket on the bag, and I'm like "sure. Okay" I took the bag reluctantly realizing more than likely this was my order and the person who took it over the drive through just made a mistake...i opened up the bowl and you can tell it was just clearly thrown together in a rush, it was very messy....looked like mush....I took a bite of a little peice of salmon and it was sooo dry, very overcooked and oily...I took a forkful of what was underneath the spinach and it was bland pasta, was not expecting pasta at all, more like quinoa or rice or some kind of grain like their other bowls....dipped the pasta in the warm tahini that was piled in the middle of the bowl and I was even more disappointed...tasted like cooked Hummus, Yuck!!....I don't know if it's because there were so many cars parked behind each other waiting in line for their orders to be taken to them but now I'm starting to wonder if maybe the guy entered sauteed instead of grilled because it was just faster to make and it wasnt a mistake at all since this location doesn't look prepared or organized enough to do fast food service...

I'll come back one last time since this is the closest location to where I live but if it still sucks I'll just take the drive to Salem from now on... that place...

so ive been on the hunt for a new breakfast place-not a typical breakfast place-because they open very early and by the time I get there the line is fourteen miles long -also they close very early-just doesn't fit my lifestyle-God I miss Denny's-well if you read any of my reviews you would know the best Chinese food on this planet and seven others is lee chen -winthrop ave ( 114 ) lawrence ma- don't change the channel-ill eventually get to the point-im about a once a week customer-a couple months ago a new building pops up -right next door- called pressed cafe -i say to myself- self - haha gezzz another coffee house- i figured someday ill try it out -ok stay with me-gonna flash back - my never ending hunt for breakfast has become a mission-couple days ago- bout 8 ish -i type in breakfast open near me - low and behold - ahhh u know what pops up - well well well - call me silly- the stars alined -the gods clash - i say no way - cant be real - read on - open till 10 pm 7 days a week- now im dizzy -cuz - google map shows pics of ( what im saying no way ) the most amazing selection of food i didnt know existed-,so i get the app -i know long story to say how frigin amazing it is -i give it a test run - peach and energy drink with real ( no bs ) real peaches in it -u know me food is food - staff is number one - if i could give the genuinely friendly attentive staff a six - i would - but a double 5 star is unusual- i seriously never came across anything like this - fresh healthy - or greasy - your choice - but combinations only a guru could create- ok - no more babbling- breakfast served all day- lunch and dinner- just do one thing - go on line and look at the french toast- mike drop- na na na na - na na na na - good bye panera bread peace love and...

Pros: Drive through is quick and they are very nice. Cons: The people working inside do not seem as nice. They don’t have their drink menu listed anywhere inside like the others - it’s a bit confusing/disorienting ordering coffee/lattes, and they seem inpatient and bothered, even though these items aren’t listed. Also, I know they’re just trying to work with the space provided to them - but not having a walkway around to the back outdoor area doesn’t really make sense and could have easily been built in. I live in the area, but honestly, I’ll drive 20 minutes to the Chelmsford or Salem one to sit in a comfortable atmosphere with friendlier staff, less confusion, and a better space.

Edit** changed from 3 to 4 stars because of how great the drive through is, and there seems to be some...
