Thursday morning in Temecula. I spot a café with over 1,100 reviews and a solid 4.5 rating. At that point, you don’t overthink it—you walk in.
First impression? Parking is rough. Really rough. I ended up paying $10.35 for two hours, which honestly feels like daylight robbery. I know it’s not directly the café’s fault, but when there are only a few tables occupied, it would be nice to see some kind of validation or reserved spots for guests. Paying that much just to grab breakfast hurts a little.
Then the food arrived. And I immediately stopped complaining.
I ordered the salmon omelet, and it was absolutely spot on. I’m not into salty food, I prefer clean, balanced flavors—and this was exactly that. Nothing overpowering, nothing heavy. Just done right. One of those plates where you slow down without realizing it because every bite makes sense.
The coffee? Strong enough to wake you up, but not aggressive. Not overly sweet either. Basically, exactly how I like it.
Service deserves its own mention. The girl at the register was genuinely helpful—answered all my questions, gave recommendations, even shared what she personally likes (she’s into sweeter options). That kind of interaction matters. It felt human, not scripted.
Would I love cheaper parking? Absolutely. Would I come back anyway? Without hesitation. I’d pay for parking again if it means starting my morning like this.
If you’re in Temecula and thinking about breakfast—this place earns its reputation.

My family and I were visiting Temecula for the weekend and wanted to get a coffee and pastry for the road. I enjoy trying coffee shops and this was the only one in the area open early. I wish I had taken a picture of what I ate, one bite and I couldn’t stop eating! I had the gotten the horchata latte 10/10 and my family got a croissant, danish with fruit, and a cinnamon roll. All the pastries were 1000/10! The best I’ve had in a while. I wish I would’ve bought more to take home. Will definitely come here again when I’m in the area.

This is an awesome coffee and breakfast spot. Prices are fair, portions are good as well. The service is good and quick. One of my favorite places in town to meet friends in the morning or have meetings! My favorite thing to get on the menu is the BCO w/no cheese and a side salad and a London Fog, the pastries are amazing as well!

Excellent French Pastries. Best in So Cal. Real French Baker, old world recepies and real European ingredients. Better than Paris....

We are regulars here, so we usually don’t double-check the payment screen. Unfortunately, the team member entered the wrong items. When we went back to let them know, they pointed to the policy below—which we completely understand. However, because the employee rang in the wrong order, we were still made to pay again for the correct item.
I had to throw away the incorrect item because I’m allergic and couldn’t eat it. As we were leaving, the owner came outside and began yelling at me, saying, “If you know karma, it’s going to come at you.” I was honestly shocked. She didn’t take a moment to understand the situation or why we brought it up. Even though we did take the food out of the trash (still in bag clean) and drove around to give to a homeless person.
I felt so sick to my stomach from her yelling I couldn’t eat all day. Even the second meal, which we also ended up giving away because above comments from her were so harsh.
Personally felt very offended the way the owner came at me. They lost a regular and plus our family & friends.
Before judging someone and giving them “bad karma” it’s best to take a moment to reflect what’s happening to the person. Have a good day.
Tiny coffee shop and way too over priced. We got two iced coffees and three croissants sandwiches with tip included paid almost $100. The sandwiches fall apart as you’re eating them. Bacon is cooked with the egg so no crispy bacon. It’s chopped up and mixed with the egg. Potatoes that came with the sandwich had no flavor. Everything lacked flavor and desperately needed seasoning.

I ordered a berry crepe, horchata latte, Mexican mocha latte, and the mozzarella quiche. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the berry crepe. It was very bland, hardly any berry filling and mostly just flour. I ate most of it (as usual), but I would not buy crepes here even for 5$. The coffees were another thing. I got the Mexican mocha and the horchata (iced) and tasted like syrup. Neither tasted like their name stated - I’m very disappointed. Guys there are many great coffee places, but this place needs to step it up and give better quality coffee. On the other hand, the mozzarella pesto quiche was amazing. Note this quiche size is small and a bit pricey, but If I would ever go here again I’d probably only order this quiche and a cup of water.

I really hate to post this because I do typically like what I order here. Unfortunately, my last experience was TERRIBLE. I placed a to-go order for something and got home to find something completely different. To make matters worse the order I received was not tasty (omelette was overcooked). I was willing to accept that mistakes happen so I called and asked for a manager with the hope that my order would be made corrected. Unfortunately, I was told the restaurant does not have a manager and the customer is responsible for checking their order before leaving so no consideration would be given. Wrong answer! The food here is not inexpensive. For the price point the customer service is horrible.
