    For goodness Bakes!!!! This bakery bakes a world a butter place YUMMY!! I had the wonderful over sized chocolate chip cookie it was soft as cotton, melts in your mouth, and perfectly balanced sweetness. I also tried the chocolate bundt cake. The chocolate is the icing on the cake. So decadent, creamy, slippery and scrumptious. Go ahead bake my day anytime. The service was amazing. I was greeted right away, I had a few laughs, and was invited back. The ambiance is bakery but feels a little bit like a cafe. Besides baked goods there are other selections to choose from. Soup, salad, and sandwiches. This is how we roll. Don't be a sourdough, crumb and get it

    Our receipt of well earned money flushed down the drain.

    We entered to an empty restaurant on Friday; June 5th at approximately 6:15pm. Not only were there no customers on a busy Friday night at 6:00pm, but there wasn't a single employee at the counter. We could t see anyone in the back either and after 5 minutes of waiting; I began to get concerned and yelled hello. No one answered back after at least another 5 minute wait and multiple times of calling out. At this point we were very concerned there was a seemingly empty restaurant and like I said it was a very busy Friday night. All the surrounding restaurants had long lines of people. We had noticed a police officer sitting outside and just as I was about to go advise him; a male voice yelled out but not to us. He did not even address us. He yelled for a few minutes himself and no one was answering him. Finally after being in the restaurant for an EXTREMELY long time; a lady enters. She does not greet us or apologize; nothing. She was not wearing a name tag, but the receipt said Sarah W. and she looked very disheveled with her hair all stringy and hanging down. I asked what was going on back there because we were about to go ask the police officer out front to come in to see if all was ok. She was super nasty and rude to us; snappy that her co-worker was working on something in the back. My question was why wasn't any of the three employees we did eventually see come to the counter when they heard us yelling. It was just extremely awkward and as a former Mystery Shopper this was as bad as I've ever seen. Now as a business owner I have to say she's an awful representation of this company and I've never once said I thought someone should be laid off or fired, but she should be. Now we understand why this place is deserted. It USED to be my husband's favorite place, but we will never set foot in here again. Seeing how nasty she was to me and listening to how she was whispering to a female co-worker as I stood off getting my drink; I didn't feel comfortable eating the food. We flushed $33.67 down the drain.

    Shrimp Scampi Linguine and Cavatappi Marinara
    Marcel T.

    My wife wanted to go try a place we'ved never eaten at in Temecula for lunch and so we drove past by Corner Bakery Cafe. We got the pick 2 for $16 deal. Wife got marinara cavatappi and I got Shrimp Scampi pasta - 5/5 really good for the price! Salad was fresh and everything looked clean. Ambiance was like a cafeteria for adults and on the old fashion side. Service 4/5 friendly and fast. Plenty of parking.

    Shrimp Scampi Linguine so delicious! You should try it!
    Liv L.

    I ordered my food through DoorDash, and picked it up in the store. The food was ready in less than 10 minutes so I was able to pick it up and go! No waiting necessary. I love the shrimp scampi, it was delicious and there were plenty of shrimps. First time I went to the Temecula store and noticed they have a lot of empty seats but it felt cozy and looks comfortable. Maybe next time I'll try for a dining experience.

    Worst, over priced sandwich ever made! Sprouts makes a much better and bigger sandwich for half the price. We went in at 2:30 pm to get chicken carbonara...but they said it was unavailable because they ran out of sauce. Instead we ordered a Mac n cheese and a BLT and a turkey sandwich. The Mac had barely any cheese sauce. We had to go back and purchase a real Mac n cheese from Karl Straus next door. The BLT was a total embarrassment. It was on a tiny sliced, over toasted, piece of bread not even the size of my hand (I'm a woman). The bacon was so over cooked it was brittle to the touch. One slice of lettuce and one slice of tomato. .. they charged $13 for this worthless sandwich. The Turkey wasn't much better. We will never go there again.

    Loaded Baked Potato Soup
    Rexie S.

    I haven't been to a corner bakery in a while and since it's getting colder I was craving their loaded baked potato soup. I tried their bacon and cheddar panini as well. Both paired well together. Friendly service, huge indoor seating area.

    This is supposed to have spinach and cavatappi pasta in it

    This place went from our favorite place, to our least favorite place. We hadn't feel there for about 6 months and after we ordered and walked into the dining section, we were shocked. It was disgusting. Over 1/2 the tables still had dirty plates in them and the table we chose by the window had not been wiped down. The floors were disgusting with crumbs all over and tiny pieces of food smashed into the floor. It looked like they hadn't washed the floor in weeks. There were only about 5 tables occupied. There was no one in line when we came in, nor after we ordered, so they were not busy and could have easily had the tables cleaned and wiped. My husband took a napkin to wipe off the crumps and wet spots and the napkin ripped and stuck to table where there was sticky stuff. Oh! I forgot to tell you, that on the way to our table, my husband saw a cockroach on the floor. When he went back and told the counter girl, she just said, "ok, thank you", and didn't even ask him where it was. He came back to me and said she didn't even seem interested, so I told him to go take a photo of it and we need to report this. As he was taking a photo of the cockroach, the girl walked up and swept it into the dustpan. He told her about all the dirty tables and she said they were understaffed and left with the cockroach. A little while later, she came back and cleaned 1 table near us. That was the only time, while we were there, that we saw anyone clean anything. My husband ordered the chicken pomodori panini and when it came, it looked like 2 pieces of toast with nothing in it. It was a joke, as it looked like the cook took leftover remnants, of each ingredient, from eaten food and put it in his sandwich, and my Chicken Rosa pasta was not at all like the description. The top was covered with toasted breadcrumbs, so you couldn't see the ingredients and when I mixed it up, I saw that I did not get cavatappi pasta. It was thick spaghetti or linguini (which I do not like) and no spinach, nor Parmesan on top. It didn't look appetizing at all. We decided to give everything back and ask for a refund. When we went for our refund, we walked around a drink spill that was about 4 feet long with a yellow Wet Floor sign in the middle of it. It was still there after we got our refund and were leaving. Honestly, it wouldn't take much more time to mop it up, instead of placing a sign in the middle of it. There were 2 girls standing at the counter, so we went to one and asked for a refund. We showed her the sandwich and the pasta and nicely asked her why we were served these. The other girl came over, and the girl we were talking to, showed her the items and told her to ask the cook why he did this. We could see the cook just standing in the kitchen looking at us. They agreed on the refund and one girl gave us our refund, and her only response about everything, even the cook messing up, was that they were short handed. We told her that if the cook was behind, we would understand waiting longer, but serving us food like my husband's panini or my dish having wrong AND missing ingredients is confusing. (I wondered if we were served this because we complained about the cockroach and the dirty condition of the restaurant, but didn't say so.) We went to give her our drinks back, and she said we could keep them. We thanked her for that, and went next door with the drinks to Chipotle. We had a great meal there and they did not mind us bringing in our drinks from the Corner Bakery.

    Over-ripe avocado on Anaheim omelet.
    Glo B.

    First time here in along while. Disappointing today. Here's why: 1) prices several dollars more for breakfast items, which are not on the menu but available, so you don't know what it's going to cost up front. 2) coffee which is usually good was very bitter, undrinkable without cream and sugar, we drink it black. 3) service was slooow.. 4) my omelet plate was not warm enough. The potatoes were dry, cold and tasted like they'd been sitting out since morning (probably were since this was noon) 5) toast lacked butter 6) the Anaheim avocado omelet had way over ripe avocado and I didn't taste any Anaheim chilies. See picture. The redeeming meal was the pancakes. That's what we like best here. Always light and fluffy. They are offered all day. Next time we'll try sandwiches.

    There's something special about the Corner Bakery, which the others cannot duplicate. Their food is always fresh, tasty and interestingly prepared. This location is no different than any of their other locations we've been to IL, WA, AZ and FL. It takes us back to our first experiences in the Midwest. Chicago restauranteur Rich Melman and his "Lettuce Entertain You" group created it. Our favorite is still his mother's old place in the Sears Tower Mrs Levy's, long since gone. But the food hasn't changed. It's still so much better than St Louis Bread Company, aka Panera. On our most recent visit, we tried their grilled Chicken Rosa pasta dish. It came with spinach, oven-roasted tomato, cavatappi pasta, and a pesto tomato cream sauce. We also tried their Italian Panini, which has smoked ham, pepperoni, provolone, pesto and served on grilled sourdough. Both were excellent, tasty and generous in size, see photos. Btw, their Hibiscus iced tea is the best. Enjoy!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Batter Up Bakery…read more I'm a wedding planner with over a decade of experience, and I have truly seen it all... but this was a first. Due to a major mistake on the venue's end, our couple's wedding cake was served to a different event the day before the wedding. Yes... the entire cake was gone. We were left without a cake for the bride and groom to cut on their wedding day, and with very little time to fix it. Enter Batter Up Bakery... and they absolutely saved the day. From the very first interaction, Samantha at the front counter was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful. Selena, the decorator, did an unbelievable job recreating the cake exactly as originally designed. And Jim, the owner who handled delivery, was professional, communicative, and ensured everything arrived perfectly. They stepped in quickly and created a replacement cake that looked identical to what the couple originally ordered. Not only was it visually perfect, but it was also delicious. The entire process was seamless and handled with such care. The most incredible part? The bride had no idea anything had gone wrong until after the wedding. Everything felt flawless, and that is exactly what you hope for as a planner. In all my years in the industry, I have never experienced customer service like this. Batter Up turned what could have been a disaster into a perfect moment. I will be recommending them to every single one of my future couples. Truly phenomenal service, talent, and professionalism.

I went with the Vanilla Bean Sea Salt Scone, and it was delicious. They warmed it up for me, and for being gluten-free, it was surprisingly soft, moist, and full of flavor. If you have celiac disease like I do, I would consider this more gluten-friendly than celiac-safe. The gluten-free scones were displayed next to the vegan scones. They weren't touching and were spaced apart, but there is still a possibility of cross-contamination. The staff wore gloves when handling the pastries and seemed to take the proper precautions. They were very upfront about their food handling practices, answered all of my questions, and provided excellent customer service. The café itself was very clean, beautifully designed, and had a welcoming atmosphere. I originally wanted to order the Fruity Pebbles Matcha, which was a limited-time spring drink. Unfortunately, they couldn't make it with oat milk because the Fruity Pebbles mixture was already premade with whole milk. Instead, I ordered the Brown Butter Toffee Latte with oat milk. I got the 12 oz because I wasn't sure I'd finish it, but honestly, I should have ordered the larger size. It was that good. The flavor was rich without being overly sweet, which I really appreciated since I don't usually enjoy overly sugary drinks. My brother ordered the Peach Bellini and added a splash of lemonade. He let me try it, and it was incredibly refreshing. The peach flavor came through nicely without being overpowering, and the balance between the peach puree, black tea, and lemonade was just right. He also ordered a brioche tart topped with raspberries, blackberries, and vanilla custard, which he said was fluffy, flavorful, and delicious. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area for another Brown Butter Toffee Latte and gluten-free scone. Just a little disclaimer from someone who's still pretty new to navigating celiac disease: I'm still learning what works best for me and what risks I'm personally comfortable taking. While I understand there is always a possibility of cross-contamination in a shared facility, I also know that living with celiac and multiple food allergies can feel very limiting at times. For me, seeing a business be transparent, answer questions honestly, and take reasonable precautions helps me make an informed decision. Everyone's comfort level and sensitivity is different, so if you have celiac disease, please use your own judgment and do what feels safest for you.
