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.

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!

Snickerdoodle Latte! Yummy!

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

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.

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.

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

Ube banana pudding latte and Ube banana pudding Matcha

Absolutely obsessed with this place. From the drinks, food, to the pastries, it's always delicious. The family that owns this place is also always very sweet. Give this place a try, you won't regret it!!

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!

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.

Grilled Veggie
Cherry J.

This little shop is perfect for a girls get together or a quiet spot to study. I was lucky enough to speak with the owner as he was very kind and welcoming. You can tell her cares about customer satisfaction. The ingredients for the veggie sandwich I had were fresh. The snickerdoodle latte was pretty okay- nothing that struck me here. 5 stars because I will definitely be coming again to try more food and beverages. Side note- the restrooms are very clean and cutesy.

Loaded burrito
Kenny T.

Popped in here for a late breakfast and I was jonesing for some coffee. I am all about supporting small locally owned and operated businesses. All food is made to order, the bakery items looked amazing, the cappuccino was delightful and my loaded burrito was delicious. Decor was inviting and the owner was very hospitable.

S'mores Cookie. Customized Iced Latte's.
Josh B.

Found this new spot tucked away off Jefferson amongst the auto mechanics/Brewery spot part of Murrieta. Went in around 8am with a friend after work. The service and food was impeccable. The person that served us treated us well and had our iced drinks and cookie ready served to us very nice. Then ordered loaded burrito (forgot to take a picture) because we loved how homemade it was and the salsa paired was amazing. Overall, love the atmosphere of this place and everything they make in house! Will be coming back frequently as new fav cafe spot in Murrieta! Thanks again to our person that serviced my friend and I!

This trip was not the Benny's I've always been accustomed to. The bread was almost stale, which is one of Benny's biggest item that sets them apart. The issue was the drink for our combos. They were completely out of all fountain drinks. When I told the girl at the counter, her response was, "I know, we got a machine?" Instead of holding everyone else up in the line, we just left and took the crappy drinks. I truly hope this is not the beginning of the end.

The other sandwiches were dry and bland. With service and food like this, it's getting harder and harder to support the high minimum wage and the tipping. I like to support food industry, but this type of service is makes not want to tip. What a disappointment

Just as good as I remember!…read more We used to go to the Temecula location until they closed up the shop. Today I went to Murrieta to look in the meat a frozen cases and order two sandwiches. Before I get to reviewing the sandwiches I want to mention the great stuff I saw at the meat counter that I will definitely come back for! They had chorizo, pork breakfast sausage, Hungarian pork sausage, two kinds of brats and more. Nice organic chickens, bone in skin on chicken thighs, and herb marinated half chickens. Their chickens are smaller than what they sell at supermarkets which tell me they are younger and more tender. The steaks....ohhhh the steaks! Wagu, Prime grade, rib-eyes, New York Strips, big shrimps, fish, etc. In the other cold case there was Duck, and other Duck related products, plus so much more I can't remember them all! They are a busy place at lunchtime and I didn't mind waiting. We had a turkey and bacon hot sandwich and a BLT. Outstanding on both! My wife's only suggestion that the turkey needed more chipotle aioli, it was a bit dry.

I was the top guy and worked at the outhouse and the penthouse, meaning I worked in financially stable and unstable departments. With all that said, I saw plenty of problems at this location. Starting off, they are way overpriced. Unless the owners gross profit percentage is 50% or more, should definitely be embarrassed pushing low marbled over priced products. Also, questioning the rotation and shelf life on the product. Quality; putting a first cut, wedge cut that was barely scraped in your counter is embarrassing. Anyone that knows anything about cutting or displaying would walk out, which I did. Displays are amateur at best, no quality or finesse. I would recommend avoiding this place until they learn the business.

Stopped in for lunch, ordered the potato salad and pulled pork sandwich…read more Pulled pork is easy to do wrong, but when done right, it's so dang good! And let me tell you, the pit did it right. This was easily one of, if not, the best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had! The pork itself was juicy and tender, with that delicious bark on some bites! The sandi was sauced perfectly, and the coleslaw gave it that extra crunch!!!! Now, the bun was next level and brought everything together.

The ground brisket patty was insanely flavorful on its own, but then they added this maple bourbon bacon jam that honestly should be illegal. Sweet, smoky, savory--somehow perfectly balanced without overpowering the burger. Every bite just worked. I also grabbed a side of mac & cheese and baked beans, and they absolutely held their own. The mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and exactly what you want it to be--no dry noodles, no bland sauce. Just the perfect ratio of pasta to cheese, topped with bacon because of course it is. As it should be. The baked beans were classic but done right--sweet, hearty, and loaded with little pieces of pork that made each bite better than the last. And whatever you do... don't skip the cornbread cookie. I almost did, and that would've been a huge mistake. It's the kind of thing you order "just to try" and then immediately wish you had two. Overall: ridiculously good food, great balance of flavors, and everything tasted like it was made with actual care. I'll definitely be back--and probably thinking about that burger until I do.
