Wednesday, 3-25-3026: After my ultrasound and running errands, I stopped here craving some good coffee, pardon the pun! It is a quaint coffee shop that my friend Joel recommend I visit. It is very tidy, tastefully furnished and decorated. I was warmly greeted by Emily, who helped me decide by explaining the different types of coffee. It wasn't hot out yet so I chose the Americano with a shot of Toffee Nut and ordered a GF Ube cookie. I found a table by the window and sat in one of the armchairs where I sank into it & made myself comfortable. It took no time for my order to be ready. I sat back in the chair luxuriating and savoring my very tasty coffee. The cookie was meh but I was in love with my coffee. I sat, relaxed, sipped, chewed, and looked over my phone while people watching. By the reading nook, was a young lady whom I assumed to be the mom and her son relaxing while perusing her phone. When I was done I took a few more photos of the interior and asked permission to take photos of the staff. The only one who indulged me was Troy. So, thank you Troy! I look forward to returning as I enjoyed my first visit here. It has a very calming ambiance, friendly staff, and great coffee! read more

Got the lavender latte. It tasted kinda like hotdog water. Was considering getting a cake or pastry but they said they only get their baked goods in ONCE A WEEK. What?? Ya, I'm not about to pay like $4+ for a piece of cake three days old. Yikes, people, buy your pastries more often! Also disappointed they didn't offer dine-in cups. Very wasteful. I had to ask the barista to clean the table before I sat down. I get that they prioritize drinks over wiping down tables but it's still icky (and they weren't that busy). read more

First time here. It's cute, small, nice music. Staff was nice. Some of the tables need some maintenance though as it kept tipping/moving as they were unbalanced. I was studying for about 4 or 5 hours there. I had to clean off my tables and noticed some others were also dirty. Coffee was alright ...I always like having the stuff recommend their best but I didnt get much from the ladies. It was still good though...but not very creative on flavors. I'll go back I am sure! Yall know I live off coffee. So we shall see the next time Happy yelping mis amigos y amigas read more

We ordered some treats after painting some pottery next-door at the painted Earth. We all got something different and we all absolutely loved our treats. The two employees here today are absolutely amazing and we're very patient with us taking our time on ordering. They're very kind and I highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back. read more

Conveniently located right off the 15 Fwy at Rancho California and Ynez Roads with lots of parking (no drive-thru). We dropped in for a caffeine fix before a movie at the AMC and were really impressed. The 'Matcha Green Tea Latte' was perfectly balanced (not too sweet) and the 'Eye Opener' definitely lived up to its name! There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, the place is clean and organized. The service was top-notch; shoutout to 'Tayler' who was super friendly and helped us with the menu. We had a great experience and will definitely be back to try more of their treats. read more

This coffee spot is very cute and a nice spot for gathering with friends or just doing work on your own. There is free wifi and some tables outdoors as well. Service was very friendly and quick. I ordered an iced matcha latte and it was unfortunately a little too sweet for me. I might come back to try their coffee drinks another time though. read more

We love finding small coffee shops to try on weekends, and while in Temecula (from Escondido) we found this was the only one in the area open at 4PM on a Saturday. We were cheerfully greeted upon opening the door, and the barista answered all our questions, and offered up a few of her favorite menu items. We had the hazlenut latte and honey cinnamon latte (her recommendation) and they were delicious. The lattes were smooth and not overly sweet. You could taste the intended flavors (hazlenut, honey, cinnamon) without the beverages tasting like sugar bombs. The space was cozy, full of dark wood beams and comfy couches. I would absolutely hang out or work at this cafe if I was a local. We will definitely drop back in when in the Temecula area. read more

I stepped into a bit of nostalgia and fell in love. Flopping down in an overstuffed chair, chill music playing, working on my laptop, and sipping on my drink. A bit of a change up, I ordered a lemonade since I was already well caffeinated lol. It was so REFRESHING and DELICIOUS. I was sad I couldn't just keep working there all day. Next time I'm in the area, I'm stopping by for a coffee. I gotta know is the coffee as good as the lemonade. read more

This place is so cutie! The staff are friendly and helpful, the food and pastries were delicious, and so far I've only tried the PSL, which was tasty! Perfect amount of warm autumn spices. I love that their plants have names, and they have cool classic rock art on the walls. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

The good: I tried a banana steamer and white chocolate peppermint latte in 12 ounces. Service was prompt and drinks were made quickly. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. There's plenty of parking. The outdoor space is pleasant with some open areas for kids to run around. The bad: It was super cold inside. The drinks were too hot. I waited a long time for them to cool down enough to drink. The coffee could've used more peppermint flavor. The pastry compartment didn't look appetizing because everything was wrapped in Saran Wrap as though it was either from the day before or it was transferred there from elsewhere. The interesting: They have a few other locations. They sell gift cards online. They offer catering. read more

Always stop by there through Temecula to get a strawberry smoothie. Absolutely the best! The service is exceptional, always very quick and pleasant! It's very quaint cute books to read. You can purchase some cute stickers if you can choose to from local sellers. Great job guys! read more

I love discovering unique coffee shops when I travel, and this one definitely had potential. It was very clean and cute, and the Chai Tea Latte was absolutely amazing--one of the best I've had. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the customer service. I stood in the lobby waiting to be acknowledged by one of the two staff members, but neither greeted me, asked if I'd been helped, or even offered a "we'll be right with you." Nothing. Two other customers were already waiting for their orders, and even after they were served, I still received no acknowledgment. I was just about to walk out when I was finally noticed. Mind you, the shop wasn't busy, so there was no clear reason for the delay. What really bothered me was watching the next customer--who happened to be of a different ethnicity than me--walk in and be greeted immediately. I don't want to assume intentions, but the difference in treatment was clear. I felt unseen. And for that reason, I won't be returning. 5 stars for the Chai Tea...1 star for the service! read more

This is a lovely coffee shop with a nice selection of beverages. I do not drink coffee, but there were a few teas to choose from. My husband and my grandpa enjoyed their lattes. Ambiance is quaint and eclectic. It was decorated for Christmas when we stopped in a few weeks ago. Service was also good. I'd come back again. read more

Pretty good coffee/espresso! They use Monin syrups to sweeten their drinks so they have a ton of flavors. I love getting their lattes with the irish creme flavor. Really quaint shop with ample parking. Would be a great place to do some light reading or doing some work. Not a ton of seating, but it doesn't seem to get too busy. Service is friendly and fast. Their bagels look delish but haven't had the chance to try! Will def come back :) read more

Everything you want in a coffee shop. You can customize your flavor and the seating is great. Can't beat the relaxed welcoming vibes and the customer service is top notch. They don't hesitate to give you the inside scoop. This is a must try.. Just make sure they warm your pastry a little longer so the middle isn't cold. Overall really a 4.6 But they got the round up. Happy eating!!! read more

Love the feeling of walking into independent coffee shops! The staff was all so kind and knowledgeable! I was pretty basic this visit and ordered a vanilla latte but it was made perfectly. I was there on a Sunday morning and it was not very busy. They were able to take my order and get me out of there within 5 minutes. I did not try any food but I liked the idea of building a bagel. I'll be back. read more

Service was phenomenal, super friendly, helpful and welcoming albeit a little cold for an already blustery morning. The ambiance was relaxed and they have a free little library which I thought was fun. Honestly, the coffee and sandwich I had were both good, but it definitely wasn't my favorite. Maybe I just need to come back in and try something else if ever in the area again. read more

Finally a perfect latte in Temecula! I've spent a ton of money and time trying out so many popular places around town and am always disappointed. Such a cute little cafe with seating and nice quiet ambiance. There were a couple of people here reading and working which is always nice to see for future if I need it. I ordered an iced pumpkin spice chai latte with almond milk and it was DIVINE. So much flavor, creaminess and perfect sweetness. By the time I finished paying and went to sit down, my drink was already done so bonus for the quick service. Granted there was no one before me in line but even then that's probably the fastest service I've ever seen. 10/10! Will be my spot going forward! read more

Really good coffee, great relaxing atmosphere. Definitely will be back again, this is my new spot. read more

Fast service, good amount of seating, matcha drink was just okay. Coffee is probably better.

Best coffee ever!!! All the employees are super sweet and knowledgeable. Their bagel sandwiches are unbelievably good too!

Discovered CRAVE Coffee while visiting old town Temecula. It's a small coffee shop in a plaza (off 15FWY), so it was nice and needed before we hit the road. I was surprised to find inside quite spacious -- countertop with stools along the perimeter and small tables widespread from each other. The decor is simple and along wall art and trinkets lined on the shelves. By the order-counter, there's limited pastries and some prepackaged juices and snacks are in the refrigerated sections. The barista was nice and patient as I looked at the dozen flavored to add into the coffee/latte. ODD, but highly recommended is to try banana flavored to the dark roast. It's amazing! We ordered: (1) Lavender Matcha Latte w/oat-milk (3 of 5) - It was a special but very disappointed. I could barely taste the lavender note or any matcha flavored. The oat milk had overwhelmed the latte. (2) Hot Coffee w/ Banana flavored (4 of 5 stars) - A neat combo and surprisingly so good together. My only complaint was I ordered a medium but seems more like a small. Overall, it's nice and the only coffee shop near our hotel that opened early on a Sunday morning (on a 3-day holiday weekend) read more

First time visiting today, got a dirty chai tea latte. Flavor was great, and the environment was quiet which is a huge plus. They gave table tops with 2 large chairs each. REALLY comfortable. Price was $7 even, which is comparable to Starbucks at 6.25 for the same drink. I would love to see larger sizes for the hot drinks, sometimes a 16oz just isn't enough. Otherwise was pleasantly surprised with their coffee, environment and kind staff. read more

I went in for the first time, the girl at the cash register was incredibly welcoming. I explained I had never been there before and I saw they have a raspberry white chocolate mocha and I thought there is no way it will taste like the candy. So I ordered it, she said she would leave a little room for cream. When I tasted it, it did not taste like coffee. It tasted even better and it tasted like I was having a sweet treat!!! I will definitely be back, it was such a cute coffee shop that you can hang out in and enjoy doing homework or computer work. So inviting and cozy!!! Loved my first experience here!!!! read more

Cool and clean coffee shop. I tried their 16 oz Dirty Chai Latte with Almond Milk, extra hot of course. It had 2 espresso shots and the level of sweetness was perfectly light. I really missed the spice of the chai in this drink. The hubs had a 16 oz Mocha blended drink with non-fat milk. He said it lacked flavor and I'm thinking maybe the non-fat milk didn't help. read more

Fantastic now i am craving crave now. I been meaning to try this place for a while and im glad I finally came in today. We were greeted and helped as soon as we walked in. I ordered a large vanilla latte with oatmilk and a build your own bagel. I like this concept because they charge per topping and you can add or put on as many as you like. Delcious! I almost got up and ordered another one but I stopped myself. The coffee was perfect. This establishment is probably the cleanest I have ever seen. There's a nice amount of seating inside and a little bit outside. The customer service is amazing. Overall, I'd say this coffee shop is definitely worth it! I cannot wait to come back. read more

This should be a great place to hang out and work, but it isn't. The staff is often very chatty and loud. One time my iced tea fell off my table before I'd even had any. Most coffee shops would have offered to get me a new cup at no charge, but the barista rang me up for a whole new tea. She definitely didn't offer any for free but I argued that it should at least only be a refill. The tea and food are just ok, but are more expensive than other places. It's always freezing cold. When it's quiet I can get a lot of work done, but with the noisy employees and the poor customer service, it's just not worth it. I used to come here a lot, but I won't be back. read more

Cute little small coffee shop in a strip mall type of location. Clean, nice staff. It seemed like maybe they just opened the business? I am not from the area so I am not 100% sure. I got my chai tea and it was great! Would recommend to support local businesses for sure! Not the typical coffee house vibe where you hang out. More of a grab and go kind of place. read more
