Our Favorites
Chicken Caesar Club Wrap
This is a Caesar salad that decided it wanted to be more and pulled it off. Grilled chicken, applewood smoked bacon, romaine, tomato, parmesan, and caesar dressing all wrapped up in a wheat wrap that somehow makes the whole thing feel like a proper meal rather than a sad desk lunch.
The bacon is the move here. It adds a smoky, salty crunch that lifts the whole wrap out of the ordinary and gives it that club sandwich energy the name promises. The chicken is well-seasoned, the parmesan sharp, and the caesar dressing coats everything without drowning it. This is the kind of wrap you order when you want something reliable and leave pleasantly surprised that it was actually this good.
The Wellington
Braised beef short rib, roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, demi-glace, gorgonzola crumbles, swiss cheese, and boursin spread all pressed on ciabatta. It reads like a steakhouse entrée decided to become a sandwich, and honestly, that’s exactly what it tastes like.
The short rib is the star — tender and deeply savory from the braising — but the supporting cast is what makes it special. The gorgonzola and boursin together create this layered, creamy funkiness that plays beautifully against the sweet caramelized onions. The demi-glace ties it all together with a richness that makes every single bite feel like it was planned. If you’re coming to Pressed Cafe hungry and you want to leave impressed, this is the one to order.
Banh Mi Bowl
Fluffy white rice topped with a sunny side egg, cucumber, pickled onions, pickled carrots, pickled daikon radish, spicy fresno chili, sesame seeds, scallions, and cilantro finished with house-made Korean BBQ sauce and sriracha mayo. It’s bright, punchy, a little spicy, and completely satisfying.
The trifecta of pickled vegetables is what makes this bowl sing. The tang cuts right through the richness of the egg and the sweetness of the Korean BBQ sauce, and the fresno chili brings just enough heat to keep things interesting without overwhelming. You can add grilled chicken, short rib, or marinated tofu to bulk it up, but even on its own it holds up as a full, flavorful meal. It’s the kind of bowl that tastes healthy and indulgent at the same time — a hard balance to strike, and Pressed Cafe nails it.
