White chocolate raspberry cookie
Tina N.

I was running errands on a Thursday and needed a quick lunch. I came across this cute little café and decided to give it a try. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the delicious aroma of cookies and freshly baked goods. The gentleman at the register told me that breakfast and lunch are served all day, which was a pleasant surprise! I ordered the protein bowl, an iced matcha latte, and a white chocolate raspberry cookie. Everything was absolutely delicious. The cookie arrived first. It had a chewy texture with bits of raspberry and small morsels of white chocolate throughout. The protein bowl was packed with all the best breakfast staples--eggs, potatoes, bacon, and tons of melted cheese on top. The iced matcha latte was refreshing and flavorful; however, it wasn't sweetened, so keep that in mind if you prefer sweeter drinks. Overall, I had a great experience. Everyone working there was kind and friendly, and the food was both filling and delicious. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

Protein bowl

I popped in to order my grandson's birthday cake, it's this lovely brownie bottom cheesecake that is to die for. Whenever I buy a slice I'm lucky if I actually get a bite. I ordered some breakfast, chai latte and the protein bowl. The chai latte is perfect, just the right amount of spice and sweet. And the protein bowl was filled with steak, bacon, red bell peppers, onions eggs and melted cheese with a bit of salsa on the side. I couldn't hardly finish it! This is a warm relaxing place with good vibes and friendly atmosphere and the people are pretty awesome too. The pastries are made fresh in house and I tell you ( I've had a few) they are so so yummy. Thank you for always making it a wonderful and delicious experience!

Chocolate roll

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.

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.

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.

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.

Crystal R.

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

Beautiful decor
Khawla A.

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!

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!

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

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.

I was in the shopping center running errands, it was dinner time, hubby and I love big sandwiches…read moreso we decided to try this place. We ordered the 18" Italian sub. The lady who made the sandwich did a great job. She asked if I was eating it right away, which we weren't, so she suggested putting the oil and vinegar on the side so the bread didn't get soggy. Showed she cared . She suggested some sandwiches to try next time while she was bagging up my order, and the vibe I got from her interest in the customer was that she may have been an owner. When I got home and hubby and I unwrapped the sandwich, it looked perfect. She did this thing with one of the meats where it was folded and a little bit on top, just on one side which made it look nice and kept the lettuce from just falling out. We added liberal amounts of (our own) olive oil and their red wine vinegar. The sandwiches were great - packed full, fresh ingredients, made with care. We will definitely be back. She said they roast their turkey fresh which is a plus! Thank you for a great meal! And although I did take out, I had a chance to check out the restaurant - there are windows (looked nice and sparkly clean) along two walls which made the place nice and open. It was clean and felt comfortable!

I only give 1 star for the cashier Arielle, who was very nice when taking order. Everything else…read morewas not good. I ordered a medium club and a small Italian. They got our order wrong and mixed up with another customer's order. When my husband went up to inform them, the other lady, not Arielle, took the sandwich and threw it away in a huff and told my husband dryly, his sandwich would be re-made. 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

The sandwiches are such a good size, that my mom and I have decided to make it a mission to try ever single sandwich on the menu. Every. Single. One. But seriously, if you want tasty filling sandwiches, come buy one (or more). Service has been good every time. I order on the app, and it's been 3 for 3 of the order being ready right on time and special instructions have always been followed. Every interaction with the team has been a pleasant one. The ambiance, gives the sandwich shop vibes (that's a good thing!). Clean, organized, bright, cool, and the team vibes just add to the goodness of it all. Also, sorry I don't have photos. The sandwiches smell too good to wait! Now I just need to figure out which sandwich I'm gonna try next

Such a bummer to write this review because I loved how kind their staff was Friday morning…read more.. Tried Ike's twice, came recommended by a friend so we tried it. First time eating it and felt sick by the end of the night with food poison symptoms until the next two days. I gave it a rest and went back to give it a try again. Within a few hours and it being the only thing I ate I start feeling the same symptoms as before. For both my friend and I to start feeling symptoms from the same place was a red flag. But then going back and it happening again, also letting my husband try it and it happens to him too was no coincidence. I called and honestly it didn't feel taken seriously. Spoke to the manager Brian said he would be talking to the GM and they would be talking to the regional manager. Still no update though? And to continually get told "well we've been eating the sandwiches and nothing happened" Okay that's nice and good for you guys but both times now and we get food poison symptoms? Come to find out a friend tried it last year too and got sick. It seems like a constant pattern with this place. I think they need a heavy audit of ingredient distributors, expiration dates etc.

We stopped here on the way home from Pechanga while charging our Tesla and since it was in the same plaza, we figured we'd check it out. I assumed it was more of a franchise bakery than a standalone artisan spot, so I came in with pretty low expectations. I was just planning to grab a cinnamon roll, a loaf of their Cinnamon Burst Bread and a quick sandwich for the drive home. To my surprise, their house-made sandwiches are served on freshly baked bread, made with fresh ingredients, and cost under $10 (Panera could never!!!). Their baked goods were also reasonably priced with generous portions. We picked up the Cinnamon Burst Bread, a cinnamon roll, a honey bran muffin (which completely stole the show for me; it was incredibly moist and I'd come back just for that) and an almond poppy seed scone. The service here was just as impressive. Everyone was so friendly and personable and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed being there. I also loved their "Giving Rack," where anyone in need can take free baked goods. It's such a thoughtful idea and says a lot about the kind of business they are. This is easily one of my favorite bakery finds and it'll definitely be a regular stop whenever I'm back in the area.
