they tend not to wear gloves while handling cash, however, they are put back on for food preparation.

I decided to give them a SECOND chance. Single employee was NOT wearing gloves..handled cash and did NOT wash hands. They still use generic bread similar to Subway. NOTHING like the pictures on line or pictured at the front window. OVER-PRICED & POOR service. I agree with Mr.Chan. SAD…good concept executed POORLY.

I decided to give PRESS a second chance. It took over 10 minutes which was fine, however my order was wrong and the guy at the window spoke broke English and encouraged me to hold on an apologized..$9 a sandwich I expect better service. In addition, everything is priced the SAME NO matter the ingredients. Also there is NO nutritional information available for any of there food unless you purchase a bag of overpriced chips. I agree with other patrons who have posted comments, the person who owns PRESS just put $ into cosmetics and offers a overpriced-boring menu. The bread used is NOTHING like the pictures they have posted.
I have been a Studio City resident for over 20 years and am DISAPPOINTED..
Aroma, even though often there is a line, is a better to place to eat with better service and prices.

Sushi’s too cold. Could we make a spinach and cheese crepe?

Forgive me for assuming your brain’s capacity matched that of your tastebud’s. I stand corrected in the irony department. My grammatical competence tends to deteriorate as insomnia sets in. Maybe I should cut Press Panini some slack, being only a few months of age. It could have been an off night. As with any new venture there is a period of trial and error. I’ll take your advice and give them another try after the tweaks set in.

p.s. Thank you for your kind invitation to eat off your ass.

Only if it is sushi.

Ha! I don’t have to look it up — I studied Ancient Greek & Latin at school.

Perhaps you might want to acquaint yourself with the distinction between ‘irony’ and ‘a play on words’?

That crack about Macdonalds was uncalled for and thus I apologize. I wouldn’t wish that kind of culinary heart attack on anyone.

I also have to agree that if a business is going to specialize in something, they ought to excell.

I urge you to sample at least one other panini - of their 30 or so choices - and perhaps you might have a better experience.

And why not phone your order in? No waiting! That’s what I do as I live less than ten minutes away, so it works out well for me.

No I don’t complain much, just when it’s warranted. I used the name “Izzit SOhard” to pose the question “IS IT SO HARD to make a decent panini sandwich?” The word “irony” should be removed from the dictionary since it’s meaning is lost on the modern Neanderthal.
I don’t work for Aroma or have an agenda, I just like panini’s. I was eager to add a new place to my stable of standbys. Now I’m willing to wait 15 minutes for a good panini but to be ignored for 5 minutes just to take my order when I’m the only person standing in front of 2 guys “working” behind the counter is downright unacceptable. Yes the Teriyaki was awful and the stand in disrepair, but I’m old school and a card carrying member of the Los Angeles Conservancy so it’s all about restoration with me. I would like to have seen the shack re-sided with wood and painted as originally designed. But that’s just a matter of aesthetics. Thank God Google Maps captured the stand in it’s former rustic glory for posterity. The glass brick tile is pretty but the money would have been better spent on a quality sandwich product. I guess I’m a bit of an architecture snob but I’m also an unapologetic 5th generation Californian that hates to see his hometown landmarks systematically obliterated. I bet you like McMansions and fake marble columns in front of your house. White wrought iron fences anyone?
As for the sandwiches, anyone can get a good panini at any restaurant, cafe, or grocery store deli. But if you are going to specialize in paninis and name your business after them, then your shit better be THE SHIT.
There’s a panini stand every 50 feet in Italy and even the crappiest one is 10 times better than this place. I just don’t buy their “specially made local bakery French roll” bullshit. It’s purely an economic decision. Quizno’s sandwiches crunch too but I wouldn’t feed them to my dog. McDonald’s? haven’t set foot in one since I was a kid. Dirty liar? I speak the truth and I’m clean, man. I’m so clean you could eat off my ass which is far more palatable than this joint. You are either in denial or have lousy taste in food. Or maybe that’s is good as food gets in Missouri or wherever the hell you’re from, tourist.

P.S.
How come you neglected to use the hexameter verse structure in your comment, Homer?
Look it up.
