It has been far too long sense I posted on this page, but I have found the next gem! 

Yesterday, I went to have lunch with my mother at a little cafe called French Press Coffee and Crepes (2725 Commercial Street SE Salem, Oregon) and holy moly, I have never been to France, but I'm pretty sure these crepes are just as authentic.

I am never disappointed with the food and coffee I device from French Press because of how good the quality is as well. The employees are also the sweetest thing to exist. Another great quality about French Press is that they are an open kitchen, so they have nothing to hide, you can actually watch the chef make your crepe right in front of you!

I recently just gave up coffee and tea, which has been hard, but I would highly recommend purchasing their french press (duh) or their mochas! In the summer time they have this peach tea that tastes like an actual peach and it is literally heaven in your mouth.

Yesterday was the first time I went there and didn't get coffee or tea, but I got something just as good, a salted carmel hot chocolate, and was so beautiful.

Salted Carmel hot coco! So delicious.

My mother got a sugar free iced latte, which was obviously pretty tasty because she sucked it down before I was able to take a picture of it! 

French Press doesn't just sell coffee, they sell crepes, but not just say crepes, they serve an endless possibilities of crepes. Build your own crepe, a pure Nutella crepe, a chicken crepe, a BLTA crepe (my personal favorite, I get it every time I go there!), a sweet crepe or a savory crepe, seriously, any crepe your little hungry heart desires. Not only do they have crepes but they have other options if crepes really aren't your thing! They serve sandwiches, which I have heard nothing but great things about, and they have breakfast options such as omelets. French Press really caters to everyones hardy appetite!

My mother and I both got our savory crepes and then ordered a dessert crepe because the food was just so good that we had to get more! 

Marionberry Crepe! 

One of the best things about French Press is that if you're in a hurry, no need to fret! They have a drive thru! Also, if you just need to pick something up really fast, you can call ahead and they will have your food ready right then and there by the time for pick up! Trust me, I call them all the time when I am craving a BLTA crepe for lunch. I just drive on over during lunch time, pick it up and devour it in my APLIT class. 

I hope you guys enjoyed! If you have any suggestions for the next gem, let me know! 

Until the next gem is dug up!
