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

    SO DELICIOUS! I'm not a huge sweets person but with the variety of options they had these 2 really stood out. Both the roll and cheesecake were sooo good and not too sweet but still sweet enough. I will most definitely be back for another iced london fog latte as they are typically hard to find done right but Proper got it down :)

    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.

    Ham & cheese croissant with egg

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Snickerdoodle Latte! Yummy!
    Katherine R.

    Cute clean friendly staff, even asked if my puppy wanted water and we were able to stay inside.

    Cinnamon roll
    Tyir H.

    Randomly stumbled upon proper bakery cafe and they didn't disappoint! Friendly workers and the food was a 10/10. I got the breakfast bowl and they made it exactly how I asked for it and it was very flavorful. Their cinnamon roll is one of the best I've had in a long time. The cafe feels very modern and peaceful. Will definitely comeback if im in the area.

I don't expect an over the top greeting when I walk in, but the unfriendly looks and apparent annoyance from staff make customers feel unwelcome. On more than one occasion, I've experienced baristas audibly huffing or acting inconvenienced when placing a simple order, such as a plain latte. Unfortunately, this hasn't just happened at one location, I've noticed the same attitude at multiple stores. I genuinely enjoy the products and want to continue supporting this business, but the customer service experience needs improvement. Customers shouldn't feel like they're bothering staff simply by placing an order.
