The Cupcake & Espresso Bar

Here’s my suggestion: sign up for the rewards program. You'll get access to various deals and discounts. This charming coffee shop is conveniently located in the same shopping center as Aldi, right next to Costco, making it an ideal stop for a quick coffee before or after shopping. The baristas are extremely helpful, so there's no need to worry if you're unsure about what to order.

Keep in mind that it's a smaller shop, so while there is seating, it's limited. It's more of a grab-and-go spot rather than a place to sit for extended periods like at Starbucks. In addition to their famous coffee and cupcakes, they offer around 12 breakfast and lunch items if you're looking for a more substantial meal. I've tried 7 of their cupcakes so far, and they have been incredible. Despite their large size, they aren’t overly sugary—just the right amount of sweetness. Plus, parking is easy. I absolutely love this place.

I've been here a few times and a couple of times that I've been here customer service has always been good. I have a few drinks that I like and seem to be the same as the original store that started it all on Moreno Beach. I still like going to the original store on Moreno Beach in cactus only because I met the owners and feel like the environment is more family-friendly in the sense that they kind of get to know your name.

The Moreno Valley cafe is spacious and offers a wide variety of delicious sandwiches and coffee. The plain vegan sausage breakfast sandwich was tasty and my usual order of an iced caramel latte with oat milk was very good. Working on a couple of things at this cafe was a pleasant experience and the overall vibe on a Sunday morning was great.

Just had an incident where someone took our drinks and the lady was very very nice and apologetic. It also happens that someone took our food items as well. She was very sorry and remade everything, and it all turned out amazing. I rave about this places French toast sandwich all the time. I unfortunately didn’t get her name but she was a very wonderful person. My coffee and food came out amazing as always. Thank you!!

The MV / Sunnymead location is a clean and a spacious spot. The majority of times the service is friendlyI think the wait time can improve. Waiting 15 minutes for 2nd drink after the first was ready fairly pronto and seeing 3 customer after you get their drinks /food is frustrating.In our last 3 visits they the pastries have not tasted good.Breakfast sandwiches and Chicken Pesto always taste good.

I will just say the Moreno Beach location has it down, the sunnymead location all, but the older barista I apologize for not remembering her name need a lesson in customer service and listening skills.

My iced coffee was a lot of ice, but girlfriends cold brew with the sweet cream was the best I’ve ever had. About a dozen high school kids outside on skateboards and such but were no
