Lots of options for flavored drinks and classic coffee I got the iced tiramisu latte which was sweet and delicious, topped with a lady finger. My partner got the honey lavendar latte hot and also enjoyed his drink. We got a medley of different pastries for our group including the cinnamon roll, carrot cake, coconut guava pastry, blueberry scones, almond croissant, chocolate croissant, monkey bread. All tasty, favorites were the carrot cake and monkey bread. Cinnamon roll was on the dryer side. Service was quick and friendly, would definitely recommend if you want a quick tasty coffee or pastry.

Wandered inside, the aroma of coffee luring me in. The baked goods in the case look delicious and well crafted. They offer a few vegan options- exciting find: chocolate Oreo frosted donut or chocolate with rainbow sprinkles, a vegan mini frosted carrot cake loaf made with almonds (not walnuts, yah!) and two kinds of sliced quick bread loaves: blueberry and cinnamon biscoffee. I order a choc donut and a carrot cake to go...a little treat and calorie splurge for Mother's Day! As for drinks...they offer the standard menu. One was irresistible to me today: Vegan Tiramisu "Almond milk" Latte, what a treat. Nice presentation, good balanced flavors, served at perfect ready to drink won't burn your tongue temperature, served in a thick amber glass with soft creamy foam topped with a land finger dusted with cocoa. Delicious, all I hoped it would be for a tiramisu lover's palate to be satisfied. Fast friendly people, including the locals who were welcoming. Comfortable soft black leather chairs to sink into next to tiny round cafe tables with Mable tops on black base...so cafe chic. I like the black and white contemporary decor, B&W large framed photography on the walls, good up tempo music. They have bar stool seating if you like watching barista's in action. There is two sides on seating in the cafe, the non-bar side has brick covered walls and a big brown leather couch to lounge in. A nice place to stop on a Saturday in spring, consistently busy but not crowded.

Rival Coffee has been one of my go-to coffee spots for a while now. It's honestly the first place…read morethat comes to mind whenever I'm craving coffee to go. Their breakfast sandwich is always a solid choice. Their fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. But what really keeps me coming back is their coffee.

We parked our car right in front, and walked into the coffee shop without seeing a line of customers. We saw the menu and there wasn't a top list of drinks. It was lattes with a list of syrups and dark coffee. They truly have a list of syrups for you to add to your latte. I was a bit caught off guard by that. They also had food, but we didn't look at that menu at all. We ordered a Hannah banana latte and a vanilla hazelnut latte. Both drinks were very milky. There was definitely coffee, because I was very caffeinated half way through my small size. The syrup you choose is definitely an after thought in every sip. Yes. There is spacious seating for anyone who wants to hangout or study. Beware to those coming here to work or study; it's so loud in here, I can't hear the person next to me. They are blasting country and soul music. It caused the groups hanging out to speak very loudly, and I just couldn't do work at all. On a positive note, they have free, strong WiFi. I don't think I'll be back. The coffee wasn't memorable and the space isn't suited for studying. I'd rather go to a quieter space with good brews.

I ordered a rose milk tea boba and was happily surprised to see a cute heart stopper on top of it. So l can sip the drink without the boba if l wanted--super smart! I've never had a boba top that allowed that. I am so accustomed to the heat sealed cups but this is such a wonderful thought so l don't go through all my boba and still have all this milk tea left to drink without any accompanying boba. I loved my drink and the girl helping me said it was similar to a sea salt series. Which l love a good jasmine sea salt tea! Not many places around have rose flavored anything. So l was thrilled to get it. And it was delicious! I added the cheese cream and that. Was. Divine! I cannot wait to go back next week and try the jasmine version. I showed my friends the boba pics as well and they're planning to come check it out as well. The biggest surprise was these cute little blind boxes (bags, rather!) that hold these adorable little resin toys. They're 3 for $5! My kids and l were hooked. Even better, if you don't think your toy is your cup of (boba) tea, you can trade it with the ones around the register or around the store! Super fun concept. We ended up getting 6...because who can have just 3?! We will definitely be back. Probably within the week because l already want to go back! We'll be regulars. :)

My wife and I love discovering and supporting new small coffee businesses, so we were excited to…read moretry this place. The establishment itself is clean, spacious, and has a great atmosphere, which made the experience even more disappointing. We ordered lattes around 2:30 PM, and it was not busy at all, so the nearly 20-minute wait made no sense for drinks that were clearly listed on the menu board. The first issue was that our order was handed out to the wrong customer because of a common name mix-up. A simple solution would be using last initials, nicknames, or order numbers for customers with common names. Unfortunately, it didn't get better from there. After remaking the drinks, the order was still wrong two more times. What made the situation even more frustrating was the lack of urgency to correct it. While we waited, staff continued pushing out other customers' orders while ours kept getting delayed and moved to the back. Mistakes happen, but three failed attempts for basic latte drinks and a 20-minute wait during a slow afternoon is unacceptable. The lack of organization, attention to detail, and customer service left a poor impression. Unfortunately, despite the nice environment, we will not be returning. I highly recommended that if you have a common name to add your last name initial.

The vibe here is awesome -- super welcoming, creative, and community-oriented. They have a café area, a retail section with goods from local artists, and even private tables and rooms people can rent out. When we were there, a few groups were playing board games (which are free to play, by the way, and they have a really extensive selection), and we even noticed a kids' class happening in the back. It felt like such a lively and inclusive space where everyone could just hang out and be themselves. We tried their espresso -- it's really good. Highly recommend "The One Up" and the "Lady Lavender" -- both strong, not too sweet, and super smooth. The menu had plenty of great food options too, and everything we tried was solid. We ended up chatting with some folks from a local writing group and just felt totally at home. Overall, it's such a gem for Temecula -- a perfect mix of café, creative hub, and community space. We're definitely planning to become regulars and keep supporting local third-space spots like this!

The Philly sliders were delicious, threw me off they didnt have actual peppers and did have a little bit of a kick, but they were delicious and filling. The pork belly fries were my personal favorite. The pork belly was tender and the sauces blended well with the potatoes, cheese and pork belly. The poison apple was not overly sweet, it was well balanced and the apple flavor really was the star, The game shop had adequate spacing for tables and merchandise.
