The Local Press is a sandwich shop in the Rosemont neighborhood of Portland, Maine, built around panini, cold sandwiches, and soups made fresh in house daily. Bread comes from Bottos Bakery, baked daily, and sandwiches lean on freshly sliced meats, an ever-changing lineup of local cheeses, and seasonal produce.
The panini menu runs from a Reuben on marble rye to house creations like the Goodfella, Backshore, and Islander, while cold sandwiches are served on fresh-baked wheat bread. A kids' menu covers grilled cheese and PB&J variations, and a rotating selection of local craft beer and wine rounds things out.
Locals point to consistent execution and a welcoming, homey feel, with staff and service that regulars describe as genuinely kind.
