Country Fried Steak
Ruby O.

Haven Haus Cafe has a fantastic location right in Old Town and the staff was so kind and welcoming. I had high hopes for the Benny Avo Benedict with country potatoes, but it turned out to be really bland and needed a lot of salt and hot sauce to get some flavor going. My partner's country fried steak was nice and tender, but also tasted like it was missing seasoning. With a little more attention to the seasoning in the kitchen, this place would be a total 5-star winner because the vibe and service are wonderful. 3 stars for now!

Breakfast menu
Henry T.

Great breakfast spot in the heart of Old Town Temecula. It can get crowded during prime time for weekend brunch, though if you hop on the waitlist before you arrive, it lessens the overall wait. Large patio and bar seating area with indoor dining as well. Modern decor inside with a bright natural light. Employees were friendly and good ratio of service staff to patrons. Food came out in a decent amount of time after being ordered with a fairly busy restaurant. Portion sizes are generous for many items so don't order too much unless you're hungry. The coffee did take quite a while to arrive after the food, so that was a bit disappointing. Onto the food: French Toast- 4 large pieces of Texas Toast which had good egg flavor and soaked up the syrup well. Chicken & Waffles- Waffle was cooked exactly as I like with a bit of crisp to it. Held up great even after syrup. The chicken portion was good with 2 good sized pieces with light breading. The problem was it was so dry, it was barely edible with sauce. Took quite a bit to chew through. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area as overall the food, service, and ambience makes it worth the weight. If you're fine with walking, easy parking available about a block up in the large parking garage as street parking otherwise if you want to be super close.

When we arrived, we were greeted and seated less than a minute. Our waiter was very quick and friendly. Food was great! My friend enjoyed the skillet and I enjoyed my smoked salmon Benny! Nice layout and love the decor.

Came here during Saturday breakfast with the family. Chicken and waffles was good as well as the breakfast burrito. The drinks were also pretty good. I had the Beetlejuice drink which was ube and matcha. Pretty good spot to try in the area. I'll be back to try other things on the menu.

Breakfast tacos. DELICIOUS!

Would come back to Temecula just to eat at this place. Wait was long but so worth it. Explored the streets while we waited. Had an amazing waitress named Illana who was extremely attentive and seemed like one of the girls whenever we stopped by our table. The place was a vibe. So much to look at, beautiful plants everywhere. Even the bathroom was clean and fun to look at. Food was a vibe as well. Delicious & beautiful to look at. Already missing my pumpkin pancake shaken espresso haha!

Big country skillet with over easy egg

Cute breakfast/brunch spot with pretty pink and green decor! Love the mix of modern and vintage pieces throughout the restaurant. We always make a stop here for breakfast whenever we're in the Temecula area. Hands down, their churro-style French toast is the best, and their skillets are yummy too! They also offer lattes, teas, and mimosas. The waitresses are attentive as well. Great spot to enjoy breakfast or brunch with friends and family!

Cappuccino by Iliana at Haven Haus
Moana L.

Food was amazing and ambience is so cool! Best part was our server Iliana. Phineas, who made our delicious cappuccinos. We would come back for the cappuccinos alone. The am a business owner and what catches my attention is when service is amazing. Thank you Haven Haus Cafe and thank Iliana.

Chilaquiles platter & coffee flight
Alaina Z.

Visited Haven Haus for the coffee flight yet I left with the flight, a seasonal sample and a yummy chilaquiles platter. I went alone and sat at the nicely decorated bar, the service was quick and staff was friendly. Will return!

Cocktail menu
Kelly S.

Cute place, but not worth the wait. If it's busy, try to see if there are seats at the bar since those are first come, first serve. Food and drinks were ok. For breakfast, we got the Spanish latte, tequila sunrise, and honey chicken biscuit sliders. Service was slow. My coffee arrived last out of all the items.

Iced chai tea latte
Hannah C.

First time to this brunch restaurant today with friends and we were so excited because the pictures online looked amazing! We like that we could join the waitlist especially on a weekend to guarantee our place in line. When we arrived we were seated right away outside on the patio. The umbrella at our table fell on us twice which was really inconvenient but the manager was able to take care of us. We loved our drinks! The chai latte was pretty good, the pb & slay was super sweet if you're into that. The ube matcha had great flavor too. The crunchy french toast was so delicious! Great flavor & great texture. The breakfast sandwich was so good, but I just didn't care for the jam on it very much. Huge portions here great menu overall, can't wait to be back again.

Madison was so great! So kind! Would come here again if she's our server! 10/10 Can't wait to come again

Came on a weekday by 10 am to meet a bunch of girl friends, we were 6 . Table are not large so can feel a little tight on the seating. We were charged the large party group so automatically added 20% gratuities. Staff was friendly and attentive, came over several times to ask if we needed anything. The food presentation and taste were both good. Started to get busy around 11:30 pm. They did split our checks which was nice. Would definitely come back again

Tried Haven Haus for brunch after seeing it recommended on Yelp, and overall it was a pretty good experience. The food was an 8/10, but the drinks were closer to a 4/10. We ordered the crepes since we're big crepe fans. They were a little different than what we expected since they weren't stuffed, but we made it work and they still came out really sweet and enjoyable. I ordered a caramel latte and my husband got a Coke Zero. Even though the drinks didn't hit, the food definitely made up for it. Service was quick, but it felt a bit impersonal since we had three different servers and didn't really get the chance to connect with one. The ambience was really nice -- super chill, and the interior is honestly really pretty if you're into taking pictures. I'd definitely come back and give it another try. I didn't even get to order what I originally had my eye on because the crepes distracted me real quick, so I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu next time.

Not bad. Quick in and out. It's Temecula so it's good for where it is at. Not much competition around them. Food was ok. Nice decor.

0 (ZERO) stars for this TOAST location in Temecula. Took a friend for her birthday breakfast around…read more10am., today 11/3/2026. The male hostess was kind and professional. He sat us down. We waited and waited for a waiter or waitress to help us. There were literally 5 waitresses standing about 5-6 feet away from our booth. Time went by, more time went by. 3 of them were looking at me looking at them. Still no service! I said to my friend, "this is bullshit to have no one help us, 5 waitresses standing there talking amongst themselves and none of them helping us." A female employee standing behind our booth asked them who is servicing station 101. All of them shook their head no. Time went by again. I kept looking at them, but to no avail. Finally a chubby oriental walked by then made a U-turn and came to our table. My friend was at that point didn't want to eat here due to beyond lousy service. I told the waitress we have been waiting for awhile and not one of you could help us, instead all of you continued to bullshit amongst yourselves instead of doing your job. We walked out ( now 2 of the waitresses walked out behind us) my friend got in the car. I went back to the male hostess snd asked him who is the manager. He went and got her. Meanwhile the 2 waitresses are looking at one another. I explained to the female manager what occurred. She was apologetic and said she would speak to her waitresses. She did offer for us to come back in to make things right. I declined and informed her I know what happens to the food when a customer has a valid complaint.She said they don't do that here. I responded: You don't do service here either. She offered to give a gift card for the next visit. I told her it's not for me it's my friend's birthday so it would go to her. She came to the car to talk to my friend. My friend declined to go back in and declined the gift card. SERVICE should be priority the FIRST time, not after a valid complaint. None of the waitresses came to ask if we needed water NOR even came to say someone will be over to help you. Well needless to say, this was beyond lousy service and substandard professionalism for them to know we were there without any of them helping us. They cannot say they were busy, because they were not. Plenty of tables that were open. I apologized to my friend snd took her to BRUNCH HOUSE further down Temecula Parkway, by La Cocina restaurant. The moment we were sat down, a waitress was at our table. I tip accordingly to how service is: Good 20% Outstanding 40% -50% So needless to say the waitress at BRUNCH HOUSE was ecstatic with her tip. Would I recommend TOAST: Hell no!

Inedible, mushy, horrible flavored corn beef hash. (3.) our food was served to the wrong table and then after a discussion with the waitress, the plates were picked up, walked back through the kitchen then delivered to our table. I asked if this was the food that was delivered to the wrong table and the waitress said yes but they didn't touch it. My husband explained that he saw the patron touch the plate. The waitress then asked if we wanted the food remade. I said no because we had already waited 40 minutes. She then said she had no control over that. She was not friendly. Then I'm assuming a manager came to our table and explained that she was told what happened and that she would be happy to take 20% off our bill. I laughed inside my head. I told her that the corned beef was not edible and so she offered to take them off our bill. Very disappointed. On a good note. My husbands food was very good. My eggs and hashbrowns and toast were fine. The restaurant is cute. I hope they do better in the future.
