Always my coffee stop in Temecula. I've taken so many friends here. They have wonderful and unique coffees, chai is great, they have delicious pastries, small merchandise to browse and a great ambience and seating areas. I love the Old town location because you can take your coffee and walk down the street and into the little shops but I also tried their Ynez road location and the patio is perfect for catching up with friends.
It's constantly busy with a line! They have cute little random knick knacks and snacks near the register that seemed very rare and interesting. I asked for a water and they said they would have to charge me :( even though I was a customer. There is seating inside and a little bit of seating outside. The lighting is a bit dim. Thai coconut espresso: 8.0/10 Very good!!! super unique drink that I have never had before, but I loved it!!! Not sweet at all, smooth coconut flavor. A little on the sour side. Carrot cake: 7.9/10 Moist, decadent, and large! The cream cheese frosting with added caramel on top was so delicious! A hefty sweet treat.
Grew up going to Pressed Espresso in Murrieta. The Temecula location has less seating and parking isn't easy to find since you are in old town. But the interior was really nice and the staff is friendly. We got the BSC and Tiramisu latte!
The café is conveniently located right in the heart of the city. They offer one hour of free parking in a small lot shared with nearby businesses, not very large, but definitely better than nothing. There's a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating, making it easy to find a spot to sit and relax. I ordered a latte along with a butter croissant, and both were delicious. They also have a small shop inside where you can browse and buy mugs, shirts, and other fun items. Overall, it's a great spot and one I'd definitely recommend.
Small coffee shop, plenty of seats. Can get busy on a Saturday morning, but that shows you how good their drinks are. No lines on a week day morning. They have baked goods like brownies, vegan banana bread, and/or cookies. Just depends on the day and time you visit. I wish they had a location near LA. We only go here when we're visiting Pechanga. Service is great. They are quick in making drinks. My go-to is the iced tiramisu latte. Hands down, it's the best. Today, I decided to try their iced banana foster latte & wow, it did not disappoint. Their banana syrup is house-made. They have other locations throughout the Temecula area. Please open a location near Los Angeles or in Orange County!
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!
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.
The decor from the outside looks welcoming and friendly... when you walk inside the vibes is nowhere the same. It has cute gifting ideas.. the coffee was nothing specular even though it was the tiramisu latte. The only good was the pastry. Not a fan. Maybe it was just that coffee or the barista who made it. And it was super slow with a lot of customers waiting, even some coming in to check on their drink orders.
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.
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.

a very cozy and comfy feel! The bananas fosters latte was pretty good. The shop offered many sizes, great prices, a wide menu for adults and kids. I got my drinks pretty fast so that was a plus. I just didn't put 5 stars because a girl that was working closing shift Saturday 12/20, that had a striped shirt on, was a little on the ruder side. My family showed up about 20 min before closing time. One of my sisters went back in line to order one of my nieces (4 years old) a hot chocolate. She got in line 5 min before closing. The girl in the striped shirt asked if it was closing time already while looking over at my sister in line. When her coworker told her no, she looked at her phone to make sure and then took my sister's order without a positive attitude. I understand it was 5 min before closing, but it was still within hours of operation. I used to work at a coffee shop and it can get overwhelming when a lot of customers come in before closing but no need to be rude. Other than that, our experience went well read more

Got a yummy pour over here that was made to order. It came out piping hot and tasted perfect. After having a not so good cup of coffee down the street. This was exactly what my husband and I needed. Service was fast for a pour over. There was lots of seating indoors and outdoors. The outside seating was very peaceful and just what we were looking for. We will be coming back for another cup soon! read more

I believe these two Lattes, are some of the best specialty lattes I have ever had. The rose latte is something you have never tried. You feel so elevated as it truly tastes like you are drinking rose water! The coffee cake latte is amazing, the flavor is so full and delicious! The Press Espresso in old town is also great for enjoying your coffee inside or outside on the patio or taking it to go and walking around. The workers are extremely helpful and provide some good suggestions. Inside can get a little cramped if you have a larger party, the biggest table can seat 4 but they have good seating throughout and outside to sit and enjoy or just sit and wait for your drinks. read more

Press Espresso is one of my favorite spots--they never disappoint! Almost every time I visit Old Town Temecula, I make it a point to stop by for a drink or a sweet treat. Today, I tried the hot lavender chai with coconut milk for the first time, and it might just be my new go-to! The lavender adds such a unique twist to the chai--it's absolutely delicious. If you're in town and looking for a cozy spot to grab coffee or catch up with a friend, this is the place to be. They even have a patio where you can relax and enjoy your treat. Highly recommend! read more

This is a charming coffee shop hidden in Old Town Temecula with cozy seating and specialty lattes. Soft up beat music help relax you as you enjoy your cup of coffee and either work or study. The staff is nice and they have swift service. I ordered the Coffee Cake Latte, and it tasted just like that. So good and not overly sweet, I loved the foam artwork. read more

This coffee spot is located in the heart of old town. Perfect spot to start the day if you want to walk around and explore the shops or the farmers market on Saturday. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. I had one of the best coffees called the flower and bee. I've never had anything like it before. There was bee pollen sprinkled on top and it had a floral taste that reminds me of spring and it will wake you up as a good cup of coffee should! My husband got the tiramisu latte. He enjoyed it. I took a sip of it and it was delicious! Felt like I took a nibble off a piece of tiramisu cake. I've tried one other location off ynez but this spot surpasses in service and in taste of coffee. Ordered the same thing at the other location but wasn't the same like it was here. Will keep coming here :) read more

We visited before and after our camping trip up the mountain because this place was amazing. The interior had such a cozy mountain vibe and there was lots of seating inside and outside available. The line went very fast as we ordered our drinks. I ordered an Iced Flower and the Nib Latte the first time and an Iced Rose Vanilla Latte the second time. The Flower and the Nib Latte tasted refreshing with hints of jasmine and small hints of dark chocolate. The Rose Vanilla Latte was standard but I enjoyed the rose petals sprinkled on top. Overall, this place is a must visit if you're in the area. read more

From Chicago, stopped at PE for coffee after a day of shopping. Here are some thots: --to me, it is a full service coffee shop, like Starbucks, with a nice mom and pop feel. Very friendly. --I ordered the butterscotch cold brew and I was a little disappointed with the flavor. If you handed it to me, I would never guess that it had butterscotch in it. --inside seating is nice and comfortable. I could work here. Overall, highly recommended! read more

Been back a few times and love the coffee, pastry, and the vibe! The coffee and especially the hot chocolate taste better when we sit there and take our time to enjoy it. Staff is super nice and friendly. Incidentally also want to point out, their bathroom is really clean- bonus! read more

The coffee was really good. When I'm out of town I love to enjoy a vanilla latte from small coffee shops. 10/10 vanilla latte. It just tasted like it was made with so much love and quality ingredients. Service was kind and quick. Ambiance is very relaxing and chill. Blueberry scone was A-okay, it was a bit muffin like texture. Would definitely try other treats next time. read more

Stopped by today for a afternoon pick me up. Came across this spot while shopping . Tried the Myan Mocha iced and while a little heavy on the mocha and light on the abuelita chocolate it was good. The wait time was short and the staff was moderately friendly. read more

A lovely coffee spot with delicious food and truly exceptional coffee: smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. Their Pavlova is absolutely outstanding, the best I've ever had! Delicately crisp on the outside, soft and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside. A must-try! Stuff is always friendly and polite. read more

Stopped here to grab a quick coffee to go for my hubby and I. We were in a hurry to get to a party. We ordered two Mayan Mochas and it was delicious. It had a little kick of spice like cayenne to it and we loved it. It wasn't too sweet and it had a great bold flavor. This place was in downtown Temecula and it was busy. The staff members were very friendly. I would definitely come back here again. read more

This is the crappiest coffee i've ever had, took a few sips and threw it in the trash. I ordered the coffee cake latte and it tasted like milk with a splash of burnt coffee and no flavor. Not to mention the girl at the register had no personality and acted like it was an annoyance to be taking our order. Super cute atmosphere but definitely wont be back and wouldn't recommend. read more

Espresso is in the name- the espresso had a very weird taste to it. The nitro brew also had a funky undertone. The cortado was the best of the 3 in the flight. The milk may have masked the odd flavor in the coffee. Environment was fair- the biscoff cookie helped refresh the mouth after the weird taste of the coffee. Coffee is strong, so that also is a plus. The cookie brought the rating up to 2 stars. Employees friendly and helpful with selection. I think it may be something in the waterline??? read more

The coffee was so good! The baristas were very friendly and the coffee came out reasonably quick for how busy it was. It was a little loud when we went due to an event happening outside but couldn't ask for any better from the Press Espresso! read more

Came here for a quick caffeine boost! Once inside, it was soo busy and it was quite loud. Decently long line but it went fairly quick. While waiting, we browsed the merchandise tables they had. My aunt bought some of the candles they had on display. We ordered a vanilla latte and London fog. We were able to snag a table by the door, not many chairs but they also had some patio seating! My husband said his latte was good. My London fog tasted perfect! They did put a lot of herb as seen in the photo so I'd get bits of it in many sips which I didn't like. I'd say no to the bits of lavender I think next time. Overall, for how busy, the staff worked quickly and were nice! read more

Found a pretty unique coffee shop called The Press Espresso. Located in Old Towne Temecula. It's my first time setting foot in Temecula and I wanted to start my visit with coffee. This coffee shop has some of the very unique kind of latte which we don't see everyday like tiramisu latte or coffee cake latte. I ordered a ice tiramisu latte. I must say this is the most interesting latte I've had. It was so darn good. There's nothing like drinking coffee every single day. I was hooked on that latte. Service here is great too. Overall, so far so good. I will come back again to try other kind of latte that I can't get from other coffee shop near home. 5 stars!!! read more

Is this Old Town location open inside for business?
Yes, there are tables and chairs for you to sit inside.
How is parking?
It was a little rough tbh, but it's not a far walk and well worth it. It's better to walk around because they have a lot of nice decorations and buildings…
I had a Cuban Breve hot coffee in Colorado. Would u know how to make one? I know it had expresso, brown sugar & I believe cream or condensed milk. Not sure. Thank w
Sounds like it may have been a latte, cappuccino or cortado? With brown sugar, and sweetened condensed milk (Cuban espresso drinks are known to come with sweetened condensed milk) and with the breve that would add in the steamed half and half. We do…

It is a hibiscus , rose , vanilla and a splash of cream.
