Whole bean coffee
Leilani M.

Awesome welcome! Staff were all very friendly, helpful, service woth a smile. Really cute coffee shop with inside or covered patio seating. Inside was refreshing to cool down from the 100° heat. Real coffee and classic menu for the coffee lover. Teas lattes or non caffeinated options. Baked goods were displayed and hard to resist. Whole bean Coffee bags available for purchase. Self serve water station next to the pick up counter. Restroom for customers. Parking in the large lot with shared stores a few short steps away.

Coffee bean selection

5+ stars! I love this place -- such an amazing vibe. Charming both inside and out, with an incredible selection of baked goods and beans to take home. Most importantly, the espresso is delicious and the service couldn't be better. Easily one of my all-time favorite spots for espresso. Highly recommend!

Matcha latte and tiramisu latte
Cryetti C.

Drink: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 Such a nice, quaint coffee shop nestled in the Vail Ranch area! I ordered the Matcha Latte and the Tiramisu Latte -- both beautifully presented with latte art and perfectly balanced in flavor. Tasty but not overly sweet -- just right. The service was excellent; the young gentleman behind the counter was incredibly friendly and kind. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and cozy -- the kind of spot where you could easily relax or catch up with a friend. I'm so glad to have a delicious local coffee shop close by, and I'll definitely be returning!

Tiramisu Latte and Raspberry heart tart.
Renee G.

Clearly I am the press espresso's best customer. I love this location in the historic Vail Ranch. It's cute and has great seating inside and out. I had my usual Tiramisu Latte with Oatmilk and today got a special heart shaped treat. Service was swift and it was busy inside. Quality is always on point.

A friend and I stopped in this coffee roaster before heading to a soccer tournament nearby. I ordered the iced shorty with whole milk and my friend had the hot mocha latte. I also ordered a blue berry scone The iced shorty was a first for me, and I liked the concept. It's an iced espresso with less water to give it a stronger and more robust coffee bean flavor. It was perfect for what I was looking for. My friend said his mocha was excellent. The scone was okay. The burned when they warmed it up. I was surprised they did not offer me a new one. It tasted okay, but the texture of the scone was off given they over heated it. The service was good, but they needed to keep one person at the register and the other two focused making beverages and serving baked goods. Here, one takes an order, prepares the item, then when the other person is done making their item, they go to the register and take an order, and the cycle continues. The problem was there's a lag when ordering, especially when all three employees are working on an order. The place had seating inside and outside.

Vanilla Matcha Latte

Bye Starbucks, Hello Press Espresso! I've been on the hunt for a good coffee shop in Temecula and The Press Espresso totally won me over. It's easily my favorite spot now, and I keep coming back. They have a few locations and they're all super chill with a cool rustic vibe. I love all the plants and succulents because it just feels cozy. Service is always quick and friendly. They have some fun specialty drinks too. The tiramisu latte is popular but my go-to is the iced vanilla matcha. So good!

I have been several times at various The Press and this one is my favorite. It has seats inside and at the patio, pretty spacious cozy at the same time. Located in a very pretty historical plaza, it is a great place to stop when I am in Temecula.

This place is my go to coffee a spot when I'm at Vail Headquarters. It has a calm vibe. I came on a busy Saturday while there's a Harvest Festival going on outside. People were popping in and out. Gentleman who rung me up was super calm. He was helpful in his suggestion for a sugar free option. On my way out, he even said goodbye Meghan! Such great customer care!

Blueberry Palmer Lemonade
Talar P.

Adorable coffee shop at the Vail Headquarters. We were visiting Temecula and looking for a new coffee shop and picked Press. Seems like they have a lot of locations, but so happy we randomly picked this one at Vail HQ. After grabbing our drinks, we walked around and took in a bit of old Temecula cowboy history. Unexpected and quite enjoyable! AND the coffee was great, too. We noticed their new espresso machines were down, but they were still able to make their Bananas Foster Latte using cold brew. We also tried the Blueberry Palmer. Both were delicious and were not overly sweet. You could taste the home made syrups. We'll definitely seek them out next time we're in Temecula.

Dear Yelp Community, This location is wonderful and unique...positioned inside the historic Vail Headquarters (some of the oldest buildings in Temecula). Ordered my hot cortado to enjoy at the shop, so I must give credit to the presentation quality. This place gets busy, so please be patient; otherwise, the staff really try. Enjoy, and well wishes. Sincerely, Anna

Outside entry

Received a gift card and was in the area so I stopped in for a nice morning pick me up. This coffee house is located in the Vail Hq plaza. Lots of different options for coffee and drinks as well as some food items. Inside was clean and there were open tables both inside and outside. Staff was friendly and my order was made fairly quick. The passion fruit tart was bursting with flavor and my vanilla latte was perfection, I wasn't crazy about the glass cup with no handle but it didn't stop me from enjoying my hot bean juice. Nice spot, would come back again.

Norman R.

Local favorite for espresso coffee and locally baked goods. Purchased a slice of cheesecake to enjoy with a whisky while watching "My Cousin Vinny" Establishment has a great vibe and the customer service is amazing.

Ask the Community - The Press Espresso

Does the press sell their own bagged whole bean or grinded coffee?

Yes, both options are available :)

Are your pour overs done with a machine (technically a drip at that point) or by hand?

Hi! For pour overs at the temecula pkwy location we use Seraphim and for the other 3 locations we make pour overs by hand.

Tastea is the best boba location located in the Temecula/Murrieta/Menifee area!! I always look for…read moretaste, quality, consistency, and service. I go to the area to visit my in laws on a weekly basis, and every other boba place disappoints me, but not Tastea. Parking is very tight and can be difficult at times. There's only one way into this section that's connected from the other plaza. Since Tastea is located near a taco restaurant, many patrons aren't leaving their spots yet. It's hard to do a quick pickup for boba on the weekends. Since I'm an avid Tastea customer from the OC area, I already had a loyalty account. By always ordering online ahead of time, it makes it easier to get food and drinks. My usual drinks are the Bootea Shaker, Peach Me Sweetea, the great white, or their lychee peachee. In fact, all of their fruity drinks are fantastic. If you're looking for a delicious, creamy milk tea, you can't go wrong with their Golden Milk tea. My fiancé and I always get a 32oz. since we share and it's enough for two people! We usually also order their popcorn chicken and their fries with weak sauce (aka sweet and sour) and have BBQ seasoning added. Their boba is always consistently sweet and chewy. Hardly different sizes, it ensures you know what to expect in your drink. Their popcorn chicken is always mouth watering along with their fries; it's whatever is in their tastea seasoning that has us hooked. On this trip, we ordered their pizza rolls... hard pass. It's eggroll exterior with the pizza filling that has me uncomfortable. We tried it and wasn't a fan. We also tried their peach oolong for the first time, which was also okay. I should stick to my usuals, but I felt adventurous. Overall, great consistency and pricing. We are big fans of Tastea, so don't stop the love! Thank you for being a great pitstop in the area!

Apparently there is only one worker at the store when there is a long line of customers. Finally, there is another worker show up to help out, but instead of making orders for customers, they start to talk. I come up to ask if my order will be making, if not, I would like to cancel my order for being wait for more then 30 minutes. The girl refused to answer my question, instead she said my order is made. I didn't get my order for another 10 minutes after. I hope Tastea company share business strategies of customer service for those who want to franchise with them to avoid bad reputation of the company. The order missing topping that I requested and paid for. This is the only Tastea in the area, and will be my last time to come to this location.

I have been to their two other locations and experienced it with *one* of the four scones I tried at the other Temecula location. The third other location in Murrieta was a perfect 4/4 on the texture. At $7/ea this is hard to come to terms with because I spent over $30 with tax for food that tastes dry and somewhat stale due to that. No one wants to eat a dry scone! I was telling the girl at the register I had an issue with the gingerbread scone at another location (remember the 1 out of 4 scones I said was dry at the other Temecu location?) and asked if the egg nog flavor was also dry. She said the scones with the icing were less dry due to the fact they were iced. But their blueberry, which is my favorite, is not iced and isn't dry at their other locations. But it sure was here. I also ordered a cranberry orange, peach, and a brown sugar and butter. I wouldn't order them there again. At the Murrieta location I also ordered the orange cranberry and it was perfection. The peach had an overwhelming amount of cinnamon, making it taste more like spice cake and hiding the peach flavor. Sad face. I think the baker here is a bit off on their ratios or bakes them a little too long. Possibly the oven runs hotter. I couldn't tell you. That's not my area of expertise. What I do know is that I won't be returning to this location and will continue to frequent the Murrieta location. I have nothing bad to say about the service. Or the cute and clean shop, definitely stop in for maybe a drink instead. But get your scones at their other location.
