17 Best Cafes in Temecula

“Swing Inn, Temecula, CA is located right in the heart of Old Town Temecula. My family and I had been wanting to try their food for a while, and we finally made it there for lunch.

Before you're seated, a staff member outside will ask whether you prefer indoor or outdoor seating. We ordered the Family Platter for $159, which is meant to serve 2–4 people. It was huge! All the meats were flavorful and so tender, they were easy to cut and even easier to enjoy. We couldn’t finish everything, so we asked for a to-go box and saved the rest for dinner.

There’s free parking behind the Swing Inn, which is super convenient.

By the way—did you know that actor Dean Norris from the Netflix series Breaking Bad took over the Swing Inn? My kids were hoping to meet him, but unfortunately, he wasn’t there when we visited. Some people said he does occasionally stop by as a surprise, though, so you might get lucky!

If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend sitting outdoors. Yes, it can be hot during the summer, but they have misters to help cool you down, and you’ll get a nice view of Old Town. Just keep in mind that it can be a bit noisy due to music from the pub across the street and passing cars. If you prefer a quieter and more private dining experience, indoor seating might be a better choice.“

“The new owner did a really great job revamping this place, it's really well done! The addition of the sandwiches is wonderful, one stop for your favorite drink and a bite to eat! Must try!“

“This place is amazing! Great food, fun events! A wonderful Antique Store to benefit the Temecula Valley Historical Society, a train for the kiddos! And full of local history! All in the middle of a shopping center!“

“We love Annie’s and eat there often. My 6 year old son just said his grandma is the best cook he knows… then he quickly changed it to “Well, second best, compared to Annie’s. Their gluten free pancakes are like biting into heaven” We appreciate all the gluten free options and love the atmosphere.“

“This place is a real treasure they always rotate new things I’ve never heard of before so every visit has something new to try the food is exceptionally good you feel like your visiting someone’s home while you’re there so grateful this family opened this restaurant in our town ❤️“

“Awesome! Exquisite. Culinary perfection. Unsolicited Celebrity Chef endorsement -- we were amazed by everything! An absolute 'must experience' when in Temecula. I cherish the rare moments when Amy and I discover gems -- exciting, classic, shops and restaurants that take our breath away. Le Coffee Shop is such a place as this. We learned of Le Coffee on Wednesday night -- we were so excited, we barely slept. We read their reviews, looked at their menu, and simply could not wait for morning to arrive so we could meet the French Chefs / owners and dive in on authentic French made croissants, omelets, and time together as a family all while enjoying coffee and great food. Next morning ... we arrived at Le Coffee Shop shortly after opening. Aromas of pastries and breads baking hung heavy in the air. It helped tilt the experience forward with the sights and smells of fresh roasted coffee awaiting us at the coffee bar. I ordered a classic croissant with a coffee, Ames ordered an almond croissant, coffee and we agreed to share a cheddar, bacon and caramelized onion omelet. HF! Absolute and total perfection -- service, quality of food ingredients, aromas, and the flavor profiles -- total French perfection.“

“The owner is amazing, the staff is great, the coffee is excellent!“

“Coffee is good, and they do have sweet treats, bagel breakfast sandwiches, croissants, etc for snacking. Staff were quick and friendly, I am only giving this 4 stars because of the prices - $14 USD for a medium coffee and a bagel with cream cheese seems steep.“

“This was my first time frequenting a Better Buzz establishment.

I have to say it was a really great experience. The coffee (Moroccan spiced) was unique and delicious - better than my last 'bucks trip. The baked items were really yummy as well.

The young lady who helped us was really friendly and helpful. The atmosphere/vibe of the place is quite nice as well.

Plenty of parking as well as a drive through.“

“Much better than Starbucks! If you don't want to wait in a long line for 50+ minutes, but also want coffee, this is a great place to get it (I came in at around 6:30pm on a Saturday.) They don't have as many options, but the ones they do have aren't too sweet nor too bitter. I tried the Mocha today and I personally loved it. I could still taste the coffee, and the chocolate didn't overpower it.“

“great response time and amazing customer service“

“Great event location. Wonderful staff and beautiful decor.“

“great food n ambiance. The servers are great over all great place“

“Great food and great service“

“We went here for lunch on a super hot day and I am so glad I thought to book it!

The Cave Restaurant is a really cool place. It's tucked away in a tunnel so it's nice and cool. All of the barrels make it feel unique, as though your party is the only one in the room. I liked that privacy! Care was taken in how things were presented (I loved the tasting trees) and the staff were really lovely. Our waiter was super friendly and made our experience special with his conversation and his recommendations.

The wines were great (obviously). I loved the sparkling pineapple. It was just a shame that they were out of several wines on the menu!

When it came to food, we only tried two dishes (the ahi salad and the club sandwich). The ahi salad was delicious, though quite small for the price. I like small so that didn't bother me. My husband's sandwich was also nice- not too toasted and fresh with a side salad. The desserts looked incredible but we didn't have space for one! I'd return for one...

Just one note: I'd have preferred not to see plastic carts being pushed around with all the plates on (esp dirty ones) because that wasn't as classy as everything else.“

“If you want breakfast at Pechanga this is where I recommend for overall dining experience. Bottomless Japanese green tea with lemon glass jar honey. Potatoes fresh and crispy, fluffy omelettes, and strawberry waffle that could have used some strawberry syrup with it. Consistent 5 star Pechanga hospitality service overlooking beautiful golf course.“
