Press'd Cafe and Lounge

Press’d Cafe and Lounge (styled Press’d) is a tropical-themed cafe and lounge opened June 12, 2026 at 509 Delaware St in Kansas City’s River Market, by husband-and-wife team Cristina Marzolf and Matthew Marzolf — who also operate Burrito Bros. inside the City Market pavilion. Their first standalone brick-and-mortar: juicery and cafe by day, cocktail lounge by night, in the former Freestyle Poke space.

Description

Press’d Cafe and Lounge opened June 12, 2026 at 509 Delaware St in the River Market — the first standalone brick-and-mortar from husband-and-wife team Cristina and Matthew Marzolf, who were both 25 years old at opening. The couple already operate Burrito Bros. inside the City Market pavilion, giving them an established presence in the River Market / City Market ecosystem before expanding to their own standalone space, which they took over after the former Freestyle Poke property became available earlier in 2026.¹

The concept is a day-to-night tropical escape: by day a juicery and cafe serving cold-pressed juices, smoothies and smoothie bowls, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, bagels, toasts and sandwiches; by night a lounge adding cocktails and mocktails. Some beverages are inspired by the Marzolfs’ trips to Hawaii. The space leans on a relaxed tropical-inspired setting and an oversized outdoor patio in the heart of the River Market district.¹²

Ownership & history

Cristina and Matthew Marzolf had been developing the Press’d concept for years while running Burrito Bros. (burritos, tamales, bowls, tacos) inside the City Market pavilion. When 509 Delaware St became available in early 2026, they opened Press’d there on June 12, 2026.¹ The shared jobs page across burritobroskc.com confirms the two businesses operate under the same family.²

Tier classification

Tier 1. Per the 2026-07-15 tier doctrine: owners live in the KC metro and are actively involved in their own businesses — the Marzolfs operate both Burrito Bros. (City Market) and Press’d (River Market) day-to-day, with the official contact routed directly to Cristina (cristina@pressdkc.com). Birthplace is a preference only, not a gate; KC-native birthplace remains (watchlist note). Independent, self-built, no corporate affiliation — stall business to first standalone brick-and-mortar at 25. (Changed from Tier 2 on 2026-07-24 under the updated doctrine; prior classification hinged on unproven birthplace.)
