Got a plain iced coffee. Tasted fine, nothing special. Cost over 5 dollars!!!! For plain iced coffee with a splash of nonfat milk. Over $5!!! And they don't put a lid on it so I got to spill it on my pants while carrying it out. 3 stars for decent coffee and old town ambiance, but it's seriously overpriced and inconvenient to transport due to no lids. I ordered an iced coffee not a cold brew. If they gave me a cole brew then they gave me the wrong thing. And no that costs around $2.50-3 anyway at other establishments. And there were no lids on for iced drinks on the bar and I wasn't expecting offered one. So the response from the business is both condescending and inaccurate. Taking another star off for that. read more

The girls making our drinks were super sweet. The dark brown haired male cashier with the nose ring not so much- he seemed like he didn't want to be there. No greeting and very robotic in his interactions, however, the female baristas were so kind that it made up for his lack of personality. We ordered two hot lattes- one rose and one lavender. Both came out with beautiful latte art and so picturesque with dried rose and lavender garnishes on top. The lattes themselves were expertly curated and smooth tasting. They offer other items like scones, muffins, oatmeal and other continental breakfast items, mainly pastries. The coffee shop itself has ample seating. When I'm back in the area again, I would return here. read more

Cute little coffee shop. They have tables, a couch, and some benches to sit inside, also some outdoor seating. The ambience of the inside is great. Its well lit, music playing, but not too loud. Its relaxing and also a good spot to get some work or reading done. Had a honey lavender latte and it was delicious. Perfectly sweetened and very natural tasting- not like the artifical syrups other coffee shops usually use. Also had a cinnamon muffin, it was really soft and not too sweet. The customer service was great and though there was a line, we got our drinks pretty quickly. read more

Exceptional coffee! They offer drip, espresso, and pour over. I tried the nutella, hazelnut specialty, coffee. Was medium roast and served w/heavy cream so tasted like a Latte. I really appreciate the true barista style making. My latte was meticulously prepared. Can not say enough about this place. read more

We are coffee snobs and always seek out the best coffee in Anytown USA. This was our 2nd visit to this coffee house because we enjoy the vibe and the quality of their coffee. It was my 400pm coffee break and I always order an iced coffee with a bit of sugar and a splash of oat or almond milk. My coffee came out just right with the perfect flavor and sweetness. read more

Delicious! We stopped here for two lattes. I got a BSC latte recommended by other reviews and it was just as I expected. I also got a yummy breakfast pastry it was a honey almond bar that was flaky and delicious. Highly recommend this place. Will be back for more! read more

Brought a friend visiting me here on a Saturday and it was packed. The announced wait time was 40mins for a cup of joe. Got my usual Tiramisu latte within 20mins so that was great. But the management/ planned capacity of this location can definitely use some improvement. read more

***300th Review*** goes to... The Press Espresso in Old Town Temecula! I will say right off the bat, I LOVE THIS PLACE!! It's in the brown building shared with the Old Town Antique Faire found on the corner of 4th Street and Old Town Front Street. I'd never been here before, but was pleasantly surprised to see that there is a small parking lot right in front of the building. Wheelchair/handicap parking is available as well as a ramp for accessibility to the premises. I was going through some pics on Yelp and came across Vincent C.'s pic of their blueberry dream herbal tea. If there is blueberry anything, I will try it, and that's exactly what I did on MLK Jr. day of 2021. It was an unusually warm day for the season, so that drink was the perfect antidote to quench my thirst. After walking in and checking out the sweets they have to offer, I went with one of their sea salt chocolate chip cookies, and a "lazy daisy coconut maple" donut, which happens to be vegan AND gluten-free! I don't have any food restrictions, and I certainly am not vegan, so I was a wee bit skeptical on how it would taste. It looked really good, so I HAD to have it. The blueberry dream was yummy! I asked if it was possible to sample it. I don't like flavorless teas when they're supposed to have a fruity hint to it. Thankfully, Josh, the friendly cashier was able to give me a taste. It was good on its own, but I chose to add honey to sweeten mine up just a little bit ($.35 upcharge). Once I hit that first sip, it was on my level! The DONUT... it was pure bliss! This somewhat "healthy" donut was super moist and, to my surprise, not excessively sweet. Okay, maybe the glaze on top was kinda sweet, but it was soooooo damn good!! I tried to only eat half of it, but who was I kidding?! Lol I ended up eating the entire thing and only chipped a piece off the cookie. The cookie itself tasted great! It was super chewy on the inside. I like how they sprinkle enough sea salt over the top so you get a bit of it in every bite. You're gonna wanna try this cookie, believe me. It's a really good size, too, barely fit in my hand! This place is so cute and charming! It feels so warm and inviting when you walk in. If the door is closed, you'll get a nice whiff of the baked goodies once you open it and walk through. In addition to their drinks and baked goods, they sell a few shirts and hoodies, and a few gadgets for the coffee connoisseur. The employees here are all very friendly and polite. They are masked and require patrons to wear them too. There are social distancing markers on the floor. You will definitely want to come here if you are a coffee lover or an herbal tea fan. They have great lattes, too! I went back the very next day and got the same donut, another cookie (which btw they can warm up for you if you want), the Black Sugar Caramel latte and the Honey Lavender latte. Gifted the honey lavender, and he liked it. =) I tasted both, and I love them!! You can choose what kind of milk you want in them, too. I chose whole and 2%. Can't wait to try out their other location at Vail Ranch Headquarters. I'll be hitting that one up, soon! THANK YOU Vincent C.!! ETA: in all my excitement for this place, I totes forgot to say that I also ordered a slice of their CHEESECAKE with fresh lavender on top. The lady asked if I wanted a drizzle of honey on it, and whipped cream and of course I said "YES, please!!" Oh my heavens, I make a damn good cheesecake, but I have to admit, this one probably blows mine to pieces, lol!! It's so damn creamy, silky, and oh so smooooooth!!! Just looking at it made my tongue happy! You need to get this, too. Just sayin'!! lol read more

Very cute coffee house. We had the Lavender Honey Cheesecake and it was very nice. The coffee itself was not the best in our personal opinion. The cold brew had a tartness to it, and so did the espresso. Probably fine in a latte or something though. read more

Located in a rustic plaza on the main street of Old Town, this Press Espresso offers a cozy atmosphere indoors, as well as picturesque outdoor seating overlooking the busy, touristy streets. As I was visiting Temecula for the weekend, my friend recommended the Bananas foster latte at The Press Espresso, and it surely did not disappoint! The baristas fill the cup BEYOND the brim, to the point that you'll definitely spill a bit as you take it to the table: you can also really taste the banana flavor in the drink, very creamy as well. Definitely made for a relaxed, post-lunch affair while sitting outdoors and looking out to the bustling atmosphere of Old Town. Very much approve! read more

I enjoyed my visit. I like the menu selection. I got the honey lavender. Next time I'm planning on getting the butterscotch. The cashier was friendly and was helpful with my choices. I appreciated the service. They have outdoor seating and followed Covid rules. The price is set high but which coffee shop doesn't. It's in Old Town Temecula- you can find parking on the street or one of the lots. read more

The Press Espresso is located right in the heart of Old Town Temecula on Old Town Front St. It's in a small plaza that looks older, but the inside of The Press Espresso is very modern and hipster looking. They have interesting lattes that I haven't really seen before including: Belgian mocha, tiramisu latte, coffee cake latter, Thai coconut espresso, rose vanilla latter, and a BSC latte which is what I got. // DRINKS // Iced BSC Latte: BSC latte stands for "brown sugar caramel latte". I was debating on this or the tiramisu latter, but I decided to go for the BSC latte. I was expecting it to be too sweet, but it actually wasn't that bad. My only complaint was that the sugar bits at the bottom did not dissolve. So I had to stir it a bit in order for it to dissolve in the latte. The Press Espresso was delicious and I would definitely go back to try out some of the other interesting espresso drinks that they offer. It seems like they have a featured/limited time menu list at the entrance which changes once in a while. read more

Don't look up while you are in the shop or you'll see the most dust you've probably ever seen in a restaurant. The coffee and pastries are great but this place looks like not a single part of it has been cleaned in years so that's why I have to give it a lower review. I really don't want to sit down in this place. Their product is great and would love for them to just put some more of that love into taking care of their shop! read more

The thai espresso was great. Service, not so much. I know this place gets busy and I'm not asking to get pampered in any way with service but to the employee who took my order, be polite. I even tipped because you guys are busy even though you were not friendly whatsoever. read more

Honestly, I would have given it a 5 star review. However, the barista taking my order was very rude and gave some attitude. Personally, If I was a barista I would be very welcoming and kind, especially since I stated I was a first time customer; I would've done everything I could to make that person feel welcomed and want to return. Other than the service, I loved the coffee, but I'm not sure if I would come back due to the service i received. Maybe I would send my kid to pick up the order just to have the coffee again. But I wouldn't get off. good place not good vibes. read more

Wait: None. It was a little busy on this particular day but nothing crazy! Server: Barista was sweet, I expected nothing less in Temecula. Food Quality& Order: My coffee was good. They didn't have any Gluten Free goodies for me to try. Typically when that happens I take some cute photos of the location instead. Atmosphere& Decor: Very California. I love the lighting in here. Temecula can get pretty warm so I appreciated the light & airy vibe they have going in here. read more

This was such a cute and trendy coffee shop and was so unexpected for the buildings exterior, which gave me Wild West vibes. I loved that their menu changes seasonally! They keep things fresh. The baristas were all so friendly, even though it was a busy place.

Hands down the best coffee I've ever had. Be it their unique lattes, cortados or tasting plate, a-m-a-z-I-n-g!

I seem to stop by here every time I come to Temecula. Definitely a great place to stop in and get a cappuccino on a cool day, or an iced latte on a hot one. And it's right at the end of the main street, so it's a great place to start and end your day. The style inside is amazing, which we can finally dine in and take advantage of. I love the plants on gold color scheme, though I'm hoping the books hung on the wall weren't well-liked. read more

Very relaxing environment, and the coffee displays a good variety and tastes great. I would recommend a stop by

The whole place is so cute and the drinks are really good. Also, such nice and lovely staff, great customer service!

This place is truly a dream for any fancy coffee lover. There are wide variety of drink choices and the staff is always nice and helpful. I have tried the Vanilla Rose, Honey Lavender and Honey Cinnamon. All were delightful. I don't think you can possibly make a wrong drink choice at this place. My goal is to eventually try everything. Also the feeling after drinking each one is a clean energy. No weird sweat or heart beating fast like when you drink low quality coffee (like Starbucks). This place is pretty much the same price as Starbucks so I don't get why you would even go there lol.. Do you taste buds a favor and try this place! read more

First time trying today and will definitely be back! The staff was friendly and even re-did my dirty chai since it was supposed to be iced and didn't make it a big deal at all. The drinks taste amazing. Usually chai lattes are super milky or watered down but this actually taste nice and spicy (seasoned). Super chill spot in Temecula too if you wanna sit and chat. read more

Best coffee shop in Temecula! Been coming here for years (all locations) and love taking friends and family here too!

We decided to take a short trip to Temecula to enjoy the scenery and get away from. We were in serious need of caffeine and this little coffee shop was just blocks away, ready to fill that need. It's nestled into Temecula's Old Town, its a great spot to grab coffee before dinner. Press isn't a huge shop, especially since Covid has required social distancing, but trust me when I say that it's truly a not-so-hidden gem. Everything is meticulously crafted and you can taste the quality from the first sip. We ordered the Banana Foster Latte and an iced Nitro. We also ordered food, we got a blueberry muffin for our daughter and two avocado toasts for ourselves. The banana foster latte... WOW.. I can't even begin describe just how perfect the drink was from the first to the last sip. It's sweet but not overwhelmingly so. It's not super banana tasting, either, like a smoothie. It's honestly one of the best lattes I've ever had. Get it! My husband loves strong coffee, I'm the sweet person, but I had a sip of his nitro and didn't want to stop. So fresh and rich! Now, let's get to the food. The blueberry muffin, was the softest, freshest muffin I've had in a long time. I honestly should've ordered more to take back home, it was that good. The toast was super well priced, on amazing sourdough bread with yummy avocado topped with tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. A great combo! If the owner is reading this, PLEASE come to OC or LA! We were so sad to head home, knowing one of the best coffee shops isn't nearby us. Their staff was also super friendly and kind. They made conversation with us and treated us so well. We are forever imPRESSed by this sweet little shop. It will now be a stop every time we head down south. read more
