    Apple maple cinnamon roll

    we walked in and were immediately greeted. So many good options decided on the loaded burrito, blueberry muffin, and maple apple cinnamon roll! my boyfriend and I both agreed it was the best burrito we've ever had. We'll be back!

    Chocolate roll
    John H.

    Proper bakery is a nice addition to the Murrieta/Temecula desserts/sweets/pastries scene. The staff at Proper are warm, engaging, and kind. The gentleman who served me was calm, gentle, kind - and earnestly enthusiastic about the treats that Proper offers. I got the cinnamon roll and the chocolate roll. Cinnamon roll goodness is subjective; the following statements reflect reference my personal preferences. I found the cinnamon rolls to be very bread-like. I also found them to lack cinnamon. To be fair, i am eccentric- and zealous about cinnamon quantity, but i prefer a LOT more cinnamon. These roles had more of a 'snickerdoodle' quality to them- and i prefer a ton more cinnamon. I also felt there was not enough 'cinnamonny goo' () in the rolls. Like i said - I'm a cinnamon zealot - but i want more of that cinnaminny goooooeyness that makes that roll more chewy. This is not that kind of roll. This roll is a bit more on the 'dry' side. Maybe if I'd come earlier in the morning I'd have gotten one a bit more moist and fresh from the oven. I DID ENJOY the roll. It was fresh, it had a 'nice' flavor to it, and i am glad i got it. The frosting was very good! The chocolate roll was actually the same Kind of roll as the cinnamon roll- and I'd say it actually had MORE chocolate than the cinnamon roll had cinnamon- and that made it quite enjoyable, heated up at home. Somehow the chocolatty gooeyness factor was double that of the cinnamon roll- and i enjoyed that. I prefer rolls that are either MORE CHEWY or More flaky- or even better - have that exquisite combination of both chewy doughiness and light flakiness combined with rich excessively cinamonny cinnamon gooeyness. Perhaps Proper could experiment a bit with that??? I'll be back at Proper! They make really good treats. The staff is really earnestly nice.

    Coconut dream
    Mary X.

    You walk in and smell the food cooking. The chorizo burrito was huge and delicious. Had their Coconut dream latte. I was expecting it to taste like an almond joy latte, but it didn't. It tasted like a refreshing coconut drink with coconut flakes. Still think about it to this day because it was that good. Service was fast and welcoming. Definitely coming back to try the other goodies and another coconut dream.

    Wow. So glad that we were visiting a ranch nearby and the timing worked out well to stop in for lunch before they closed. Located in an industrial type complex, decent parking, easy to find. When you walk in you see a fun, nice, clean place, loaded with fun decor, and it is decorated for Halloween right now too. The staff is a nice family, very friendly, service with a smile. Efficient, fast, and so nice and polite. Checking on us after the food was brought out. They said they have been open a little over 3 months ago. They play good music, there is nice seating inside, one small table outside, and inside there are some usb plugs under the table. Plenty of breakfast, lunch, and bakery items. Plenty of pics posted for you to check out. We tried several fantastic items. The Greek salad, it was reasonably priced, large portion, and yummy. A little too much dressing for me but still great. I also tried the Caprese sandwich. Wow. Definitely delicious. High quality ingredients. The Ciabatta bread, the balsamic drizzle. Outstanding. My portion was gone in minutes. The Chicken Ciabatta sandwich was so good too. More high quality ingredients, and delicious flavor. I also devoured my portion as well. Our friend tried the Cuban and he liked it as well. Then we ordered a variety of desserts. My wife liked the Mocha cookie, I did not try it. We all tried the white chocolate macadamia cookie, it was moist, soft, flavorful, so we ordered another one to go. I tried the Halloween cinnamon roll, it was large, soft, fluffy, and flavorful. The cheesecake brownie wad divine. Best of both worlds, part brownie and part cheesecake. Our friend got a burrito, and a jalapeno cheese bread roll to go, they looked good, but I did not get to try those. The prices were very reasonable, and the quality of the food and service were outstanding. I wish they had a location closer to Vista.

    Beautiful decor

    What a charming and tastefully decorated café! It's warmly run by a friendly and welcoming family who make you feel right at home. We tried the breakfast burritos, and they were delicious, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. The fresh salsa served alongside was bright and full of flavor. Located in a peaceful setting with beautiful views of the rolling green hills, it's the perfect spot to unwind. The service was exceptional every visit starts with a genuine smile. Highly recommended!

    You have passed by this little coffee shop bakery many times driving on Jefferson. Look for the Sherwin Williams Paint store and turn in to the industrial complex for a sweet treat and a delicious coffee. The baked goods are freshly made and include muffins, cinnamon rolls and croissants. The menu also includes specialty coffee and several hearty breakfast selections of breakfast burritos and sandwiches. The service is kind and friendly and the ambiance is eclectic with plenty of comfortable seating inside and outside.

    Traditional breakfast burrito
    Laura A.

    Proper Bakery and Cafe is a hidden gem. It is located in a business center. The place is very clean and cozy. Loved the decor and the bright tables. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I ordered the veggie sandwich (which is vegan). :) It was fresh and flavorful. My husband ordered the traditional breakfast burrito and said it was delicious. My daughter loved the cinnamon roll and devoured it. Definitely give this place a try.

    Raspberry muffin served warm
    Melissa M.

    Service is friendly and the burrito was tasty. We were so happy how delicious the warm muffin was served. They offer an hour complimentary free WiFi. Their booth seats are comfy and our two items with tip was $20

    This is my go to place! Great food, warm and welcoming environment and great service.

    Chocolate Sweet Roll
    Jasmine G.

    Quaint little spot with lots of yummy treats and sandwiches. I had the Iced Snickerdoodle Latte and it was yummy. I also had the Traditional Burrito which has egg, potato and cheese with a side of salsa and it hit the spot. Everyone who works here is very pleasant. I would definitely recommend!

    Ham & cheese croissant with egg
    Nicole F.

    Our first time visiting and we enjoyed our visit. Looking forward to returning to try the bakery items. I really enjoyed the flavors of the avocado toast. My only recommendation would be a higher quality bakery bread. My husband preferred the sandwich. Overall we both left happy and wishing success for this small business.

    Proper is a new restaurant that opened 3 weeks ago! It's tucked away in a business area so there's plenty of parking. The owners are so sweet and accommodating. Everything is made in- house and they have everything including cookies, croissants, cinnamon rolls. I like savory goods for breakfast and got the jalapeno cheddar bun. It was nice and fluffy and something that wasn't too heavy. My partner got the loaded breakfast burrito and it was delicious! The eggs are fluffy and they really load it w flavor since they add the salsa in the mix as well. He was satisfied and food coma-ed in the car. We will definitely be back. Not a lot of traffic since they're still new but hopefully we can check out their sweet items.

    Cinnamon roll
    Alisha P.

    It was all very ehh. I got a cookie and a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was only half frosted, not to sound like a fatty, but come on... and the service was a little slow because the worker was busy talking to his friends that stopped in.

    Banana caramel roll, brownie cheesecake, iced londog fog latte and caramel cloud latte

    The coffee is roasted to perfection every time! A go to bite…read moreis the avocado toast which is a meal and a must each and every time. The coffee bean selection is always wonderfully crafted and the options seam endlessly. While it can be busy at peak times there is plenty of space and a relaxing place to meet up with friends and enjoy some fresh coffee or a quick bite. Pleasantly surprised by everything we have ever tried.

    Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. It was busy but parking was easy for us and people seem to…read moretrickle in and out. I was impressed by how large and spacious the café is. The interior has a really nice modern aesthetic, with plenty of tables and an open layout that makes the space feel comfortable rather than cramped. One thing I noticed was that there was quite a bit of smoke or haze inside, to the point where it was irritating my company's eyes. Hopefully that was just something specific to the day, but we did have to move from the second floor to the bottom floor. I tried the Cinnamon Toast Latte and the Watermelon Refresher. Both were decent, but neither really stood out to me. The latte had a nice cinnamon flavor, while the refresher was light and refreshing with a bit of a kick. There are plenty of tables, so finding somewhere to sit wasn't an issue. Most of the outlets were already occupied, though, so I'd keep that in mind if you're specifically coming here to work or study. Despite the size of the space and number of people, it was surprisingly quiet during my visit, which made it a comfortable place to get some work done. Overall, I liked the atmosphere and amount of space, but the drinks were more average for me. I'd come back to try something else, especially if the smoke issue isn't typical.
