Best coffee spot in Temecula. End of story. I don't even want to try anything else nearby . One main reason: ALL locations are consistent. More consistent than Starbucks (ha!). But seriously though, this place gets busy and it never disappoints. Vanilla and honey lattes are safe. Coffee cake latte is my favorite! I still need to try the others but can't stay away from coffee cake. I can see how the drinks like the BSC can be sweet to some but definitely tell the barista your likes and dislikes and they will cater to you. They have nice kids drinks, like the milk steamer which is fun. Any time I'm in the area I try to stop by, so if you're thinking about it don't hesitate! read more

The Salmon Tartine is amazing!! The Tiramisu Latte is delicious when it is made correctly!

Oh. My. The Rose Vanilla Latte. Not super sweet and perfect proportions of coffee, milk, and flavoring. Okay - the AVOCADO TOAST was unworldly! And the Quiche was so rich with flavor (we might have drooled a little!!). Cashier, and Barista were friendly and helpful - and know how to pull a shot! Super cool atmosphere - but I do have to say that the chairs were a bit challenging for the 77, 67, and 58 year olds!! Other than that - bathroom was clean and quaint. We have family in the area so we will definitely be back! Thanks for a great experience!! read more

This is a 3.5, because this shop has huge potential for higher ratings, if they listen to the lower ratings on this site I stopped into today, while waiting for my Earth Bistro pick up order. LOCATION: The interior is amazing. Large colorful mural on the wall, delicious treats in the display case, and lots of seating along the wall or at the coffee bar. I strike up a conversation with the cashier/server/barista, who smiles genuinely throughout our conversation about their multiple locations. I saw all of the coffee house favorites running the gamut of Paleo, Vegan, and everyone else, in flavors you recognize. NOW THE BAD NEWS STRAWBERRY CHAMOMILE CUPCAKE - You can't get more Springtime than that. I mean, it had tiny, chamomile flowers accompanied by a swirl of buttercream, and what appeared to be strawberry seeds. Looking at it made you think of heaven in paper wrapper. Unfortunately, that's where the magic sort of fades. - Beyond the visible, the chamomile served no real purpose. - The tiny, tiny chunks of strawberry were slightly visible, flavorless - The cake bordered on being a moist muffin, did not contain much flavor - The buttercream was a little too sweet and did nothing to unify flavors HONEY LAVENDER LATTE - Again, you can't get more Springtime than Honey and Lavender. I had images of lightly roasted coffee playing a rhapsody composed of honey and lavender notes floating upwards into a stratosphere of flavors unparalleled. Okay, here's what I got instead: - Unsweetened, dark roast/expresso that over powered everything. - 2% milk was beaten to a pulp, so no creamy, dreamy coffee swirl here. - You could not smell or taste lavender or honey. @ $5/per item - you should have rocked my taste buds and left me standing outside until morning waiting for you to open. Execution, Execution, Execution is the key! I can't eat ambiance, but I can eat gourmet pastries and drinks that are your best work. I did not get that today, but I'll be back to give you a shot at delivering on your vision - I know you can. read more

Wow. Honestly I'm SO impressed.. where do I even start... Okay we'll start with the vibe and decor. First of all, this coffee shop was so detailed. Every single thing that could have been customized or decorated, was. The tile against the back wall, the crown molded side panels that encompassed the bar, the colorful paintings, the way the actual coffee bar was set up. Bro I even went to the bathroom and it was the same lol. I love design so I was thoroughly impressed as you can tell. The vibe was soft and elegant. The girls working were very kind and asked a few questions before making my drink to ensure it was correct. So 11/10 stars for vibe and atmosphere. I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk and rose extract with no sweetener. How effing beautiful. The taste was exquisite. I can tell the matcha was quality. It had a bold earthy taste. And the rose extract paired wonderfully. Even the cup was beautiful with their gold stamped logo on the side. I didn't order any food, but I would have gotten the avo toast and did see one come out and it looked bomb! Honestly I'm just so impressed with it all I could go on longer but you've probably already stopped reading at this point. Beautiful execution, will definitely be back. read more

Perfect ending to a quick wine tasting trip! We walked in and it was steady, but not busy. The young lady at the register was super friendly and helpful with recommendations. This was our first time in so it took us a little to decide what i wanted, but so glad that I got to try the bananas foster latte and the butterscotch cold brew. Both drinks tasted like their names. Neither was overly sweet, which can really make or break a drink. The bananas foster even had little pieces of dessert dropped in so with every sip, there was a little dessert bite. The cookie butter bar only added to the experience. We requested it warm and it was perfect! Wish we lived closer. read more

The Press Espresso's 4th location is finally open!! Best part about it: it's near my gym, haha!! Find it next to Nékter in the Trader Joe's shopping center. Just like the other 3 locations, this one has all the same goodies and cute merch. The decor is vibrant, colorful and playful at the same time. I love the huge concrete benches INSIDE the store. Very unique and it sets them apart from the other stores. Alex took my order with a big smile and friendly personality. She was patient with me as I decided on what I wanted. Our drinks were delish and perfect for a hot day in the Inland Empire. They have a great selection of lattes, teas, and pastries. In addition to the same menu items at the other 3 stores, they have a select few items that you can only get here. My Iced Nutella Latte was great and the perfect amount of sweetness. They charge a small fee for milk if you want oat, soy, etc. I love this coffee shop! Definitely come out if you wanna give that other coffee shop a break. They have yummy baked goods and even macarOns! I'll have to try those soon! They do have vegan desserts as well. Show them some love and stop on by!! I might see ya there! =) read more

Im so happy I gave this place another shot. Now we're regulars. Service is nice, takes a bit but when u get ur order u understand why, DELISH!! My go to order their avocado toast and iced honey lavender latte three-quarter sweet. They put so much detail into everything. From the fresh lavender pieces in the latte to the tiramisu with the lady finger cookie. The pickle onion is the chefs kiss. All the desert is fresh the cakes are beautiful, tried the honey lavender cheesecake... Im getting my own slice and not sharing with myHusband next time. Take it from this picky girl and try it all. Peaceful place to sit in as well. read more

This is the second location I have been to and every time we swing by to get a pick me up the staff has always been friendly and accommodating. The staff mentioned it was the first day the peppermint was available so we automatically wanted to try a seasonal drink. The Press Espresso is definitely a place to stop by for a hot or cold espresso drink! Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. read more

I had The Press Espresso twice while visiting Temecula for the long weekend. I'd first gone to the branch in Old Town and I returned to the one on Winchester Road on my last day in town. Besides ordering one of its specialty lattes (the rose-vanilla latte), I also ordered some food items, including a brisket wrap and banana-coconut doughnut. The rose-vanilla latte was delicious: I could taste the rose flavor, and the drink itself wasn't overly-sweet, which I appreciated. The brisket wrap was warm and hefty, although it could have used a bit of a presentation facelift. I would say the banana-coconut doughnut was my least-favorite item, though, as it was cloyingly sweet and there wasn't a ton of banana nor coconut flavor to it. Compared to Old Town branch, Winchester's location isn't as picturesque, especially as the outdoor seating offers a view of a generic strip mall. The interior is kind of cute with modern seating and a bright, pink-themed wall. It does take some time for the baristas to serve your order, as they take the time to prepare each and every one with care, so definitely be patient! It's worth a go over here, especially if the Old Town branch gets too busy in the day. read more

When I say I love coffee I mean the press espressos.. I have been going to press espresso since they had their first shop in old town. Never stopped going to the Temecula location or Marietta which I absolutely loved. I even had gone to the 79 location and it was wonderful. This time I came here and I realize they had a new location so I figured give it a try, it wasn't as great as usual and my drink was so expensive for some reason and it was a regular size probably like really small size I don't understand how. It also isn't as great as usual. Hopefully they'll improve in the near future read more

This shop serves great (read Strong) coffees with a hand crafted touch. They were quick and had a lot of options, while still feeling specialized and intimate. It was a nice modern multi-color aesthetic was threaded well throughout the space. It felt happy and cheerful. Ample seating and lots of customers there at 10am on. Friday. There are also a number of cute local gift items you can purchase. I grabbed a few of the artisan lollipops for my friends! I ordered an Iced 1/2 Caf Americano with a slash of cream. It was smooth and creamy, cold and refreshing. When it first came out I watched the bright white cream sink into the chocolate colored coffee, like a dance, as the heat and cold slowly met their match. It was relaxing and beautiful. Pro Tip: this coffee is very caffeinated, so order decaf if you don't want a rush! I drink a lot of coffee, ordered 1/2 decaf and still felt it was a little too much! But the flavor was fab! read more

First impression walking in, the cash register was way too close to the front door. Customers were lining up at the door because of the tight space. Secondly, the staff were extremely rude. I understand they were busy, it was a Saturday morning. I waited about 20 minutes on those horrible, uncomfortable seats for 2 drinks. When they finally called my name the drinks didn't have a lid. So I was trying to put them on so I can take it to go, but every time I would press down the cheap plastic cup would bend and spill my drink out. I asked a worker to help me and her response was "well it's because you grabbed two lids!" Not my fault they're so cheaply made and couldn't tell two of them are stuck together. She then separated the lids and handed it back to me. As far as the drinks themselves, we ordered a cherry espresso and a Nutella iced coffee. They were okay. I don't think I will be going back. read more

I had a terrible first experience at The Press. When I asked a simple question about how milky my coffee was and if anything could be done, the employee with a septum piercing and a spider web tattoo on her elbow, was absurdly rude. Instead of handling the situation professionally, she started slamming things around, which was completely uncalled for. As a first-time customer, this left a terrible impression, and I won't be returning. Customer service should be a priority, and I hope she's learned some self-control in a service job. read more

This place is aesthetically pleasing to not only order from - but to simply sit, relax and unwind. Their coffee is pretty strong and they have unique takes on certain drinks. Heck, even their kids options are a delight. Their hot Belgian chocolate is a MUST during the colder seasons. Four stars for great coffee and a modern take on decor! Service could use a lot more help -- and unfortunately, sometimes it does seem as if their AC doesn't work. Not sure if this is for storage purposes regarding temperature or whatnot, but it is unfortunately a bit of a turn off.

Love this coffee shop so much, I've been to every location, the lattes are amazing, employees are lovely, and the coffee shop is decorated so cute. I go here at least once a week, however the reason for the 3 stars is the lack of acknowledgment about an issue. My mother got me an e-gift card from here for Christmas, I never received it, I mentioned it to the girl working at the ynez location 3 times I came in for a coffee, she said she texted the owner. I've been back 3 times and I still haven't received my e-gift card. It's really frustrating that the issue still hasn't been resolved, I got a free drink chip the first time I mentioned never receiving the e-gift card, but one free drink doesn't equate to a $50 dollar gift card that was a special gift from my mom because she knows I love this place. Please do better about the giftcard system. read more

The Press Espresso - Coffees for all my coworkers - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Temecula, California

Another location of my favorite coffee shop popped up in Temecula in the last 6 months. Whenever I'm in town visiting my family, The Press Espresso is my go-to for caffeine. I believe that this is now the third location in town; there is also one in neighboring Murietta. This Press is near the Trader Joe's off of Winchester Road. I don't know what was here before, but it was obviously a different business. There's plenty of seating inside and a couple of tables outside. You'll find the same great menu for drinks as well as pastries. You can also buy coffee beans to take home and brew in your own abode. Be sure to check out their drink specials for seasonal items. read more

This plaza is pretty crowded as there is a Trader Joe's. For whatever reason, a Friday morning around 11 is already pretty busy in the parking lot! I have been a fan of Press Espresso for a while now but am sad that they don't have any in OC. We stopped by and I think this location is actually just a few months old! There are two comfortable tables to get some work done and then a few just to sit and chat. I don't know if they discontinued it or what but there's no more turkey sandwich! We did get their avocado toast which was also slightly changed. We got the coffee cake latte and the brown sugar latte. It tasted even better than I remember! I don't know what they do (I'm sure it's gotta be something special) but the taste of cinnamon was delicious, and it wasn't overly sweet for me. I was ready to order one again before I left. I liked the brown sugar as well but it did have this texture and we weren't sure what it was made of. I still enjoyed it. The avocado toast is a single (large) piece of taste with smashed avocado and pickled red onions. It used to have cherry tomatoes and a balsamic glaze but this was tasty too. Overall, I had a great time at Press Espresso and I'm glad that they are able to expand and open more locations. (move closer please) read more

This spot is quickly becoming my favorite in the area. One of the first things I noticed about this establishment was how fair the prices were. I tried the $7.50 turkey pesto panini at my last visit, and it was a very large serving and a great blend of flavors. I'd also like to give some recognition to Malachi, one of the baristas. This young gentleman gives me hope that the new generation isn't absolutely screwed! Keep it up, Press! read more

The following is my opinion based on the service I received at this coffee shop. Stopped by while my vehicle was being worked on at a nearby shop. The coffee was normal. That's it, it wasn't good but wasn't bad. The pastry was good. I wonder who they order them from. But the customer service was trash at best. Staff was very careless and rude. No eye contact, no greeting with smiles, no one thanked me for coming in, nothing from the staff. Here's what those ladies need to know. In this competitive market everyone serves the same drinks and charges about the same. That goes for any business. So what can keep your customers coming back for more? Good customer service. People wanna go where they' feel welcomed and are treated like family. Otherwise, like myself, I'll take my money somewhere else that serves the same thing. And, their coffee wasn't enough to keep me as a returning customer. I suggest the owner makes them take a course in customer service. read more

The girl working the morning shift on 1/28/25 over the counter was rude and I did not have an enjoyable experience.

Edit: I received the best professional customer service from the owners of The Press after having left a review about service I was unhappy with. The way it was handled by Yasmine was everything I would hope for from a business. Thank you Yasmine. The atmosphere and seating here is nice, the pastries are really good and beautiful to look at and the butterscotch shaken cold brew is light and a good way to start the day. read more

I really can't believe they opened a 4th location pretty soon they'll be like Starbucks with a location on every corner. I'm very happy that they have this location because it's close to where I do most of my shopping. It's just like the other locations very cool with that hipster vibe but very simple. Yes this location is pretty small but they have a few tables outside also keep in mind that this location is in the Trader Joe's parking lot which is small and always busy. They have the same great drinks, great customer service, and close to my Macy's. You got to check this spot out! read more

We found this humble coffee shop by Trader Joe's on Winchester. The place was kept clean and it had adorable aesthetic interior designs and nature murals on the walls. We ordered the cappuccino honey lavender and latte honey lavender coffee. We love the steamed milk art leaf on their coffees. The drinks were rich and flavorful. Although feel free to let the staff know to lower the lavender herbs on the lattes as it can get in the way while enjoying a sip of hot coffee in the morning. For sure this place serves quality coffee and expect to pay a little more for their small cup. We'll certainly visit again. read more

I love the press espresso, it's my favorite coffee shop in the Temecula/murrieta area. But this location is not up to the standard that I'm used to when I visit. I came in on a Sunday morning and it was packed but I stayed and ordered. I got a brown sugar latte with an add shot and oatmilk. My latte was absolutely disgusting. It was greasy and lacked flavor, and they didn't add the extra shot it literally tasted like straight oat milk. I'm never coming back to this location. read more

Decent interior and service, but their cold brew is just about the worst cold brew I've ever had. And I paid over $5 before tip.
