On a walk through downtown Temecula early in the morning, we decided to pop in for a hot drink. We warmly greeted by the staff upon entrance. Plus the warm environment of the shop made us feel at home. The menu offers some unique drinks and some common drinks you find at other coffee shops. A drink that stood out to me was a coffee and orange juice plus other items: served cold. Apparently a drink designed by a staff member to wake you up in the morning. The shop also offers beautiful looks pastries and cakes that I unfortunately did not get a chance to try. I did try a matcha chai that was so yummy that I wanted more but resisted. This coffee shop was a great find. Especially enjoyable during off season and early in the morning. During this time you find the locals stopping in for a quick drink and snack. Cheers!

My pretty girlfriend.  Def not on the menu, but she's 6/5 stars hands down.

Stopped in with 5 min till close and the staff couldn't be friendlier or more welcoming. Asked about the difference between the two mocha varieties they offer and the lady kindly explained and helped me decide. The place inside looks very chill for a sit down study spot or to mindlessly people watch. The Mayan mocha with oat milk was delicious. Not too sweet and wonderful foamy texture with hints of the cinnamon and spice they put on it. The price was appropriate for a shop like this. Recommend.

Cute spot. I had the Aztec mocha and coffee cake lattes both with 2% milk. I liked the powdered finish on the froth. The Aztec mocha was good but not as rich as I would have liked and it was missing some spiced flavor as it tasted like a normal mocha. The coffee cake latte was good but really sweet toward the end. Cute and trendy spot with lots of people ! A good quick grab for anyone in town. I appreciate the decent sizing. Parking is tough because it's in downtown. Overall a god local spot.

Tiramisu lattes, BSC latte (far right) and coffee cake
Elisa L.

Came here when visiting a friend in Temecula since she talks highly about this place. They were pretty busy when we came on a later Saturday afternoon. It took around 10 mins to order and another 10 mins for the drinks to come out. We ordered the tiramisu latte and BSC (brown sugar caramel) latte. Both drinks were decent and not overly sweet. I enjoyed the BSC more as it was sweeter and had more flavor. The espresso was strong and good quality but had a slight nutty aftertaste which I wasn't a super big fan of. We also tried the coffee cake which was tasty, not dry and nicely sweet. Indoor and outdoor seating were full when we arrived but we were able to get a table shortly after. Since it was packed, it was pretty loud and hard to hear my friends.

Tiramisu lattes ($7.30 with oat milk) and BSC ($7.10 with oat milk)

Came here with some friends since one raves about the tiramisu latte! It was pretty bustling considering it was a Saturday afternoon. Waited around 10 mins to order and another 10 mins for our drinks. We all got the tiramisu latte and one BSC (brown sugar caramel) latte. I'm not a huge coffee person so they were pretty strong for me but I could taste the quality of the espresso. I would've liked the tiramisu latte to be a little sweeter, but the BSC was sweeter and flavorful. Seating was full but we luckily snagged a table. Drinks were around $7 each with oat milk, which is decent for the size. We found free street parking a few blocks away

The Press Espresso is a very chic and charming coffee shop. They have lots of food options as well as a lengthy drink menu. I ordered a pink flamingo tea latte and it was AMAZING! Not too sweet, not too bland, it was perfect and the color was stunning. My friend ordered the matcha tea latte and it didn't quite meet her expectations. Not enough matcha, way too much milk. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be back for that flamingo tea.

Really lovely coffee shop with lots to choose from. The decor is bright and cooling after a hot day in the sun. Service was excellent and they were able to tweak an order for me.

Love the atmosphere of this cafe! Cozy and quaint which makes it perfect to grab a coffee and read a book. They have an assortment of pastries and food to choose from. The service is super friendly and kind too. I got a Lemon Poppyseed cupcake that was decorated with cute guava star on top. Overall, a gem of a coffee shop in Old Town Temecula and would visit again!

Popped in here for a quick hot latte with 2% and was very satisfied. The ambiance is very relaxed and the staff were friendly & quick. Another go-to coffee shop I can add to my list.

Banana Foster Iced Latte (made with oat milk)
Miguel G.

I stopped by The Press Espresso in Temecula yesterday and tried the Banana Foster Iced Latte, and wow--it was so good. The banana and caramel flavors really shined without being overpowering, which I loved. It still had a strong, smooth coffee flavor, and you can definitely tell they use high-quality beans. I'll probably be dreaming about this latte for a while and will definitely be back to try more drinks.

Latte, vanilla iced latte, & matcha with brown sugar honey
Sabrina A.

So good! Service was friendly & despite the crowd the wait was not too long. Indoor and outdoor seating is available & they do offer parking in the front if you're lucky to snag a space. Ambiance was such a vibe, & the drinks were so so good!

Trimisu latte and mocha latte
Amy H.

This cute cafe is in Old Town Temecula. It's a nice and cozy spot that is quite. I could see why people work or study at this cafe. I came here and ordered a Tiramisu latte and it was delicious. It came with a lady figure to enjoy while dipping it into your coffee; which I loved. Customer service was great and parking was accessible. Parking is 1 hr. free, but as long as you are hanging out at the cafe or another shop next store.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Batter Up Bakery…read more I'm a wedding planner with over a decade of experience, and I have truly seen it all... but this was a first. Due to a major mistake on the venue's end, our couple's wedding cake was served to a different event the day before the wedding. Yes... the entire cake was gone. We were left without a cake for the bride and groom to cut on their wedding day, and with very little time to fix it. Enter Batter Up Bakery... and they absolutely saved the day. From the very first interaction, Samantha at the front counter was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful. Selena, the decorator, did an unbelievable job recreating the cake exactly as originally designed. And Jim, the owner who handled delivery, was professional, communicative, and ensured everything arrived perfectly. They stepped in quickly and created a replacement cake that looked identical to what the couple originally ordered. Not only was it visually perfect, but it was also delicious. The entire process was seamless and handled with such care. The most incredible part? The bride had no idea anything had gone wrong until after the wedding. Everything felt flawless, and that is exactly what you hope for as a planner. In all my years in the industry, I have never experienced customer service like this. Batter Up turned what could have been a disaster into a perfect moment. I will be recommending them to every single one of my future couples. Truly phenomenal service, talent, and professionalism.

Goat & Vine (Satellite Café) - Morning Bun Review…read more Goat & Vine continues to expand its footprint beyond its flagship The Goat and Vine location, and this newer café concept clearly aims to deliver a more elevated, bespoke pastry experience. From a presentation standpoint, it succeeds. The space is large, visually polished, and immediately inviting--everything you'd expect from a brand building on a strong local reputation. The morning bun itself is visually stunning. Well-shaped, evenly baked, and glossy with promise--it looks like a 5 before the first bite. But execution tells a different story. A proper morning bun should channel the DNA of a croissant: light, airy, delicately layered, with just enough exterior resistance to give way under minimal pressure. This one missed that mark. The outer ring was noticeably tough--requiring more force than expected, even with a knife. In truth, a well-executed morning bun should yield easily with the edge of a fork, not demand effort to cut through. Flavor delivery was equally uneven. The cinnamon--presumably a core element--was very mild, almost hesitant. A morning bun doesn't need to be a cinnamon roll, but it should introduce that warmth immediately, within the first bite. Here, it lagged. More notably, the orange essence appeared only at the very center, creating a disconnect in the experience. Flavor should be intentional and consistent. If orange is part of the profile, it should be present throughout--not hidden as a surprise note at the core. The same applies to any premium pastry: flavors should announce themselves clearly and early, drawing you into the experience, not making you search for them. To their credit, the internal structure showed glimpses of what could be--a buttery, layered crumb that hinted at proper technique. But the balance between texture and flavor never fully came together. This is a case where strong presentation and solid fundamentals elevate expectations, but the final execution doesn't quite deliver on them. Final Rating: 3.5 / 5 A beautiful pastry with promising structure, but held back by toughness and inconsistent flavor distribution. With refinement--particularly in texture and flavor clarity--this could easily become a standout offering.

We will definitely be back again and again.

Also, not so sweet which is a plus for our family. My partner was quite happy with it. Price was $6.85, size was 12oz. - Brown Butter Toffee Latte: 5/5 Great pick-me-up for a rainy day. The drink had toffee bits which was a lovely surprise! Sweetness was pretty mellow despite the toffee bits, which I appreciated. Price was $6.85, size was 12oz. - Ham & Cheese Croissant: 5/5 this came out straight from the oven. It was soft, buttery, delicious, and the ham was tender! My toddler devoured it! Price was $9.00. - Salted Brown Butter Vanilla Scone: 3/5 a bit too sweet for my liking but when I scraped away the layer of the glaze, the scone itself was quite delicious, soft, and had a good chew to it! Price was $6.95. This was a very cute spot with ample seating. You can definitely come here and bring a book or do some work. Service was fast and the ladies helping me had cute handwritten messages on the lids of our lattes :). Overall I will give this spot a 4.5/5!

The cake was both beautiful and delicious - moist, pillowy, and perfectly balanced. The frosting complimented the cake instead of overpowering it, and our guests loved it so much that there was hardly any left by the end of the night. If we hadn't requested to save the top, we wouldn't have had any to bring home. The extra desserts were just as incredible. The chocolate-covered strawberries were a huge hit for both their flavor and adorable design, and the cheesecake bites disappeared almost instantly. Everything was presented beautifully and it all went fast, which is always a good sign. The tasting process was also a highlight. They were kind and welcoming, and since we went in with a good idea of what we wanted (after reading their info ahead of time), it made the experience easy and enjoyable instead of overwhelming. One tip: book your tasting appointment as early as possible, because those slots fill up quickly. A couple of helpful notes for future couples: a cake stand isn't included, so be sure to add that to your list. And if you're working with them through an all-inclusive venue, you'll need to pay a little extra for the premium flavors - but trust us, they're worth every penny. We couldn't recommend Gruttadauria's more. Their cakes and desserts were an unforgettable part of our wedding, and our guests are still talking about them.
