The Press Espresso

From Temecula & have been to The Press since their first tiny location,hidden behind Old Town Temecula’s Main Street. I also live near their location that took over Augie’s at Vail Ranch. I decided to head over to this one since it’s closest to where I dropped off a sibling for a couple hours & to be completely honest, this is the best location out of all of them. It’s big. There’s alot of seating including comfy chairs that are honestly missing from most coffee shops nowadays that give its home-y feel. I did come at a busy time but again, seating wasn’t a problem. Parking could be hard depending on when you come. Baristas were very nice compared to their Rancho Cal & Vail Ranch locations. Music was ON POINT, but I give credit to the baristas working that day because I’m assuming it can vary on taste (Came on 9/25 @ 9:30am - 12pm, hand them the aux more often 🙂‍↕️). I got a iced BSC steamer to drop caffeine for the day & it tasted AMAZING compared to its watered down counterparts at Rancho Cal & Vail Ranch. It was a free drink with my points & they had accidentally made it hot, but made me a new one the way I wanted it with ice! Anyways, it’s unfortunately out of way for me but when I’m in Murrieta, this will be my go-to when I want to sit in. Rival Coffee is good too but that place can be overstimulating with how loud & chaotic it can get. If you want to have a smooth morning, good coffee, good vibes, & get work done with ease. I highly recommend coming here!

Roomy coffee shop with plenty of seating to relax and enjoy your coffee. Love the ambiance as it gives a cozy atmosphere.

The staff is nice and the barista is fast at serving, especially with long lines. Love the foam artwork.

I ordered the Coffee Cake Latte was rich and smooth with a bit of sweetness.

The Press is the coolest spot around town. They changed the game out in the ie for coffee and really bring a piece of the big cities to this small town.. They just remodeled the Murrieta location to add a whole other room and it has so much vibe and plenty of seating options. The menu has a lot of options available as well and the drinks are delicious and crafted with care. Currently sipping on an herbal blueberry Dream tea ✨

The first time I came here was to meet up with an entrepreneurship group, and I ordered the Rose Vanilla Hot Latte. I really liked this flavor. A lot of people kept coming in, and this place has a lot of seating options. The music volume is in a good setting because people can still conversate and / or study. The cashier was patient and nice when I let her know it was my first time there, and she was the one that recommended the latte. I liked that they had a variety of pastries. Today, 7/26, on my second visit, I ordered the Honey Lavender Latte and a Blueberry Slice of Loaf. This latte did not disappoint either. I plan on my next visit to order a hot or iced tea.

My mom just shared a traumatic experience that halted my suggestion to go there and led to a heated exchange about immediately informing a business rather than passively aggressively not going anymore in silence.

I am disappointed that she had the experience of, upon completing her water, seeing a booger with hair attached to it floating at the base of her cup. She told me she realized in horror that it was inside, not outside.

I'm uncertain of the intentions of any of your team members. What I will say is we will absolutely NEVER RETURN and hope this serves to WARN other customers of what they might experience from you.

I sit here so heartbroken because I really did think that your business was a SAFE and TRUSTWORTHY space. I am really saddened by the realization that this could happen to your paying customers. If I could, I would give ZERO stars.

I suggest everyone consider going to the Starbucks across from Vista Murrieta High School instead.

The large vanilla latte needs more espresso. The large cup was mainly milk. The workers do not appreciate customers who choose small business.

Zero customer skills. The baristas fail to acknowledge any customers like a normal human being would.

I think any place would be lucky to have this cafe, and it remains a bit of a mystery to me why Murrieta should be so lucky. They nailed everything:

* the music was soft, pleasant, and fitting - when K was there, old-school reggae played quielty.

* the decor rules - I love the lcozy nooks and all of the dark, warm tones.

* and the coffee and pastries are great.

The staff was also friendly and not overbearing.

This place has you covered if you want a flavored milk drink with some coffee in it, but make no mistake, this place does coffee and coffee alone (specialty coffee) really well, too! I felt amazed that they not only offer cofermented roasts, but that their coferments taste great!

I can't wait to come back and spend another few hours here.

gem for coffee and dessert lovers. Their cakes are delicious, with rich flavors and perfect textures that pair wonderfully with their expertly brewed coffee. I ordered a mocha and a latte to go, and both were not only tasty but also beautifully presented with artistic latte art that made them almost too pretty to drink. The service was quick and friendly. A great spot for quality treats and stunning drinks!

Terrible customer service by the cashier taking my order (red head). Very defensive and would not help to answer my questions on an old drink they had on the menu.

Great vibe and atmosphere of the cafe, I tried matcha, which was bland because barista put less powder. Barista was unapproachable and rude. Otherwise great place to hangout.

I have been coming here for over 2 years several days a week. They are my favorite coffee house and have the best and most friendly staff. My favorite is the Nutella latte.
