Annies is a pretty unique looking place. With the European themed restaurant, dancing waiters, and cool menu, it's a fun experience. The first time we came in, we were greeted nicely. Me and my friend ordered milkshakes for breakfast which was great cause they were really good! Afterwards we ordered, but before we did, somehow the employees found out we were first timers and put hats on us which was pretty fun. Then our food came out quick, and fished it all because it was quite tasty! Will definitely come back! read more

This place gets five stars, not only did they treat us like we were family , it was our first time, they gave us silly hats to wear and gave us the shout out...niceee...they also danced to a song which I thought was pretty cool , customer service from our server was a 10 out of 10 she was spot on for everything , and the food was 10 out of 10 as well, I must say it was probably only 15 minutes wait from when we walked in to the time we got our food, plus we had drink orders taken as soon as we were seated,the food was plenty that's for sure , it was also very tasty and really hot when it came to our table,even though they had a packed house we were served fast yummy food and also treated like family. if there's ever a place that deserves recognition it's this one for sure , hands down the best breakfast joint I've been to in a LONG time..it's hard for a restaurant to catch my attention but I must say annie's you've really caught my eye... would I come back?heck yes I will.

Annie's Cafe - Temecula - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Temecula, California

Description: Annie's Café is a restaurant that I had heard about from some locals as a place that would surprise me. This could not have been more true! I love a place with a good breakfast, so I am always on the lookout for a restaurant that offers a good omelet. To celebrate my friend's birthday, I wanted to choose a diner that was different and yet offered great food. Annie's fit the bill perfectly! Location: The restaurant is located in between the town of Murrieta and Temecula on Jefferson. The nearest freeway (15) exit is Winchester - turn right on Jefferson and the restaurant is located on the left. You will see an old red phone booth that decorates the outside to create the nostalgic essence of this café. It is in a semi-business area, so don't be deterred by the odd location, it is worth it! Décor: The cafe definitely reflects a nostalgic feeling of the 50-60's. Decorated in warm tones it reminds me of a by gone era and you feel that you have traveled back in time, think "Back to the Future". There is a soda fountain with stool seating, comfortable booths as well as tables with chairs. The best word to describe it would be comforting. Menu: The menu has an extensive variety. My friend ordered the French toast combo with eggs and bacon. I ordered an egg white omelet w/bacon (please, no judgement, I know this is an oxymoron), avocado, spinach, and mushrooms. My breakfast also came with home style potatoes and thick sliced fresh wheat bread (love the thick bread). I would recommend these selections as it was all great, especially the bacon! The only suggestion here would be for them to create their own homemade jams and jellies. With such good bread it deserves a special topping instead of the pre-packaged small goofy jams and jellies. Service: This where you need a couple of paragraphs to really capture the level of service. This restaurant excels in service. Pam and Oscar waited on us and were a notch above! The surprise (and it was) is that if you are a first time customer, they make you wear a very silly hat. I was willing to put on the hat, even though flat head is so not my thing. My poor friend had to wear a special birthday hat, she reminded me that she was doing this for me (lol). However, let it go...and enjoy...this is just fun stuff. I was impressed with both of our servers, and Oscar especially was very gracious in answering all my questions about the restaurant and the owners. He is quite an asset to this restaurant. The other servers perform about every 30 minutes and do a little practiced dance to music near the soda fountain area. My friend and I did not know about this entertainment, and it was a special treat! If you are a grumpy person, you may not like it. However, be ready to smile and sit back and enjoy...this is really fun stuff. Final Thoughts: I was tickled and sincerely pleased by the owners designing and creating a fun place that has a quality breakfast fare. It is wonderful to see the owners (two sisters/son that own restaurants in Murrieta and Lake Elsinore) create such an innovative take on the small town café restaurant. Definitely try it if you are in the neighborhood...or even make a special trip to come, it is worth it! I didn't get to meet the owners, but would love to know their inspiration for creating such a fun place. read more

Cheery-O! We love the Lake Elsinore location so we were tickled to find out they opened a place here in Temecula! This place is awesome! The food is delicious and fresh. The service is on point and the decor is quirky cool British chic. I ordered the veggie burger with mushrooms and grilled onions with a side of fresh fruit.and unsweetened iced tea, my hubby ordered the Daily Special breakfast. The burger is divine! I adore the flavor of the grilled mushrooms and onion..yummy! The portions are ample so bring your appetite! This is one of those places that has a cute merchandise corner that actually looks appealing enough to buy! I want a shirt and water bottle! Muy husband's meal was fantastic. He's a big guy so the portion was just right for him. As usual the food was cooked to perfection. Our waiter, young guy with English accent was attentive and brought out the food hot and ready and made sure to check in on us regularly. There isn't anything to dislike at Annie's. The food is yummy, service is good and the ambiance is fun. DO NOT forget to tell them it's your first time, if it's your first time there. They like to appreciate new customers personally!! Enjoy! read more

My new favorite place for breakfast in Temecula. The ambiance is fun, the decor is detailed and very British oriented. If you haven't been there before, be sure to tell them it's your first time. My husband ordered one of their breakfast burrito. It was huge. I couldn't decide on their cinnamon French toast or an omelette so I ordered both. The French toast was yummy. Nice and thick yet perfectly cooked so out was slightly crispy on the outside and soft and moist inside. The omelette I had was the spinach, avocado, and Swiss and had them throw in some bacon. I definitely recommend it. read more

I've watched a couple of tv shows that talked about "the English Breakfast " which consisted of eggs ,baked beans,meats and potatoes. So when I went to Annie's Cafe I was excited to find out that they had a English breakfast but they call it The Winston Churchill. The service was great. The servers every so often would go in the middle of the restaurant and dance. The restaurant has England decor which is really nice. Had to wait to get seated which was not long of a wait and there's call ahead seating. Will definitely come back. read more

Annie's Cafe - Temecula - The Winston Churchill - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Temecula, California

First time there, with my friends who had been there before. My breakfast was ok. Had some skillet. Don't remember the name. My other friend had the open beef sandwich (can't remember the exact name either.). Her husband had the special. While it was edible, none of us were fond of what we had ordered. My friend had ordered the dinner meal which was supposed to come with mashed potatoes, but because our overly zealous waitress - while appreciated by some, but I found her annoying as heck because she kept referring to all of us as 'honey' a hundred times over - talked way too much instead of listening, had her order messed up. Coffee was bitter. My friend and her husband spoke with the manager. Her solution was 'just don't tip the waitress.' I find that poor management practice. Not a dime was taken off the bill, yet the waitress, while annoying, is supposed to sacrifice her tip for three mediocre meals?! My first time was my last time. The manager needs to take a course in people relations. read more

Great service, great food, great ambiance! I've never seen so many people celebrating their birthdays at breakfast. They all got celebrated by the staff :) read more

Yummy place for breakfast and entertainment. I went with a large group with 3 babies and the staff was very attentive.

First let me say the food is top notch, absolutely love it which is the reason for the 3 stars. Now for the not so good, I placed a to go order on door dash ( not delivery) to pick up at the restaurant because I was already in the area. They were packed with several people waiting so I approached a young blonde girl at the counter and gave her my name, she went right away to get my food. As I stood there another women asked what I was there for i informed her I was picking up an order to go through DoorDash, she asked "well where's your bag" I said I don't work for them just used the app to place an order I was then told I needed to show proof of my order on my phone like I was there to steal someone's food, by this time the very sweet girl came back with my food noticed i was being interrogated by her fellow employees, waited until they turned away, handed me my food and told me she believed I was who I said I was, apologized and told me have a nice day. Again the food is fantastic, just be cautious if you place a to go order they don't seem prepared to handle it as well as they should be. UPDATE: I just received a very kind message from the owner Carol explaining the situation while being extremely apologetic. This is why I'm changing my review from three stars to five stars because as I said the food is awesome and the owner truly cares about her customers, which is rare nowadays. read more

Annie's is a good spot to grab breakfast. The food is good, and the service is even better. Noelani was our server and did an excellent job. Paul and Carol (the owners/managers I believe?) were excellent as well, and between the three of them, we were well taken care of. Their menu is impressive, and seems to have a lot of potential. I love eggs benedict so had to give theirs a shot since it was my first time there. Sadly, for me, their version was a little below average. Feeling unsatisfied, I ordered "Kristy's Double Chocolate Chip Pancakes" to top off my meal. I am not sure who Kristy is, but she should be honored to have such deliciousness named after her. These were excellent, and a lot tastier than their eggs benedict. Overall, the chocolate chip pancakes were enough to keep me interested in the rest of their menu. Plus, the service was friendly and prices were more than fair. They even have the staff put on a little dance/show every half hour or so to help keep the customers entertained. I definitely plan on returning to try out some other menu options. For newcomers, I would suggest calling ahead for seating and/or coming in at an off hour, because the line was out the door by the time we left. read more

We've been here about 3 or 4 times now for breakfast and the service and food has always been good. The staff is super friendly and the owner is a lovely lady who seems to always be there on the weekends. They do fun things like make you wear funny hats and clap if it's your first visit and they also dance at random times during your visit to fun songs. But today was especially awesome as they honored 9/11 by observing a moment of silence and playing the National Anthem just at the time when the first tower was hit, about 8:45am. CLASS ACT Annie's, it was a touching and emotional moment for sure. Local businesses like this are priceless in our small town and I wish we had more. Thank you Annie's for our memorable breakfast on this important day. The Olson's read more

I really liked this location and the ambiance inside the restaurant. We remember when it was Ritchie's. They could've piggybacked on the whole 50's diner, but didn't. They rehabbed it to look more cozy. We liked it. Service was great! For me, the French Dip was lacking, although meat was good, I prefer cheese and carmelized onions on mine. Everything else we saw come out, looked great. You won't regret coming here. read more

If I had to rate this place on the food alone, I would do 4 stars. It is a good solid breakfast place, and I like the English theme. I had the breakfast burrito w/a side of gravy and DH had a skillet. Both were good. We came on a Sunday morning a few weeks back and it was crowded, so we sat at the counter. The service was good and quick, and the waitress was very friendly. So why the 3 stars? Let me preface by saying this is completely subjective and it may not bother anyone else. But, the singing! I was okay with they interrupted everyone to announce it is someone's birthday. Then, it was someone's "first time" visiting. It happened at least 6 times in the hour we were there, where they screamed out "attention everyone! it's so and so's first time here!" Add that to the specific songs that the waitresses all dropped everything and danced to (think Johnny Rockets), there were no less than 10 interruptions. It got really annoying, especially when we were just trying to eat. However, I am sure that plenty of people find it super entertaining, but I'm just not one of them. So we probably won't be back. read more

I had the full whammy and my husband the ribeye steak and biscuits and gravy. It was the best experience after receiving horrible news at the doctors office today. We watched them wish an 80 year old woman happy birthday and dance for her then they performed their dance to Mariah Carey's all I want for Christmas later on for the entire crowd. Very great food people and customer service. We will be back for sure! read more

How I haven't heard about this place and I don't know how that's possible. It's amazing. The atmosphere is outstandingly fun, the staff love what they do, the food is great. I'm very picky with my biscuits and gravy and finally a restaurant that actually delivers on their gravy. I've driven by and seen the lines out the door on the weekend so being a mellow Monday just had to come check it out. Prices are very reasonable, menu is extensive, and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. 5 stars all the way. read more

Thank you very much, Yelp!! We discovered this diamond in the rough known as Annie's Cafe!! An amazing culinary experience! Not only is the food some of the best in town, they even have dancing servers! The host herself, Annie, is a spitfire!! An English lady with a personality that doesn't quit. The flights of mimosas were absolutely dee-licious!! (Whisper), the lavender mimosa is to die for! By far, the best mimosa I've ever had. My hobo skillet was amazing and extremely filling!! When in Temecula, Annie's is a must!! read more

I'm sorry to report that I was disappointed, but I'll start with the good things first: We arrived late Saturday morning Thanksgiving weekend. About a dozen waiting outside, Family groups. We were advised 10 min wait for two, and they met that goal. Small 2 person booth. Promptly and properly greeted, Water order taken, silverware promised, coffee and water served promptly, silver ware promised, order taken promptly. Reasonable wait time for order to be delivered. Got the silverware. Server was not our order taker. She was gone before my wife could look ask "didn't I ask for Sausage, the serving wench (British Themed place) was gone. Moments later our order taker came buy to inquire if all was OK. "No not really Bacon not Sausage" I'll take it back. We declined. Granted the place was very busy crowded and all that. The food was good to mediocre. Service is what earned the low mark. I got the impression their operating goal is get them in, fed and out. Turn the tables over as fast as you can. BUT OUR LONGEST WAIT FOR ANYTHING WAS TO GET THE WAITRESS TO PICK UP THE CHECK AND GET BACK TO THE TABLE with my credit card bill and receipt. I May give them a second chance on a slow day read more

Great actual English bangers (which is rare to get quality large and juicy bangers in America. The meat content in these bangers is bangin'- not gonna get bigger or juicier bangers in town) Not only is it fun to giggle through your orders of bangers and other phallic foods (sadly, no spotted Dick) but the owners are incredibly nice. A nice English couple who embrace song and dance. Come here and they will sing you the song of their people. So much singing and dancing! I recommend! read more

We walked in with everyone smiling and happy. We said we were first timers and were handed fun hats. The crew sang and danced which was very entertaining for our meeting.

Everything here was great. I liked all the servers, even the weird one. Good place to eat and excellent service.

Annie's Cafe is great for breakfast or brunch! We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning and the place was packed. Even though it was very busy, their wait staff was excellent, and the food was outstanding. Make sure to bring your appetite, because their portions are HUGE. read more

The reason I'm such a fan of yelp is because of the possibility of finding places like Annie's, a place i would never have found otherwise. If you're craving diner food , please do yourself a favor and come here. From what I've gathered , the food is British influenced. We ordered the corn beef hash and an omelet. Both were good. However , it was really Yvette that made the experience. She was bubbly , funny , and just a great waitress all around. Other small touches like the manager asking how our experience was as we were walking out was nice. In the middle of our meal , they even did a cute little dance in the middle of a restaurant! For the food, value, and service , we were extremely happy with our meal and will make a stop here as often as we can (as we drive to and from Pachenga ). Keep up the great work Annie's! read more

Nice atmosphere. Great service and great food. They dance too. They work great together to make the customer happy and we'll fed!

Wow what an amazing turn around! It is absolutely wonderful when a business actually takes the time to not only read your comments but brings their customers back to make it better! My family and I went back this morning and was completely ecstatic to have the Annie's quality and service that we have come to love all the times we have eating there. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place and it's staff, you all are what hospitality and customer service is all about! And did I mention how great the food is!!! Way to go Annie's you guys are a step above the rest! read more

Fun place! Driving through Temecula to see friends on the way back from San Diego, and had to stop to get a bite to eat. Enter, yelp. Did a quick search of local places with 4 or more stars and decided to try Annie's Cafe... It was a good choice. Parking was no problem. Walked into a packed restaurant that had a 15 minute wait. So instead of waiting, we decided to grab a couple of available seats at the counter. We were promptly greeting, handed menus by a very friendly server. Order was placed and the food was prepared and served rather quickly. I ordered the Annie's Biscuit Special with the home fries. It was very good. However, the onions and peppers in the home fries were practically raw... Hence, the 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, a good meal served by an incredible staff. Worth the visit. read more

What a great dining experience. VERY friendly and entertaining staff not to mention amazing food. Definitely a must visit when in Temecula. Oh and be sure to ask the server about the first timer's special! We dined in for breakfast and had traditional breakfast food, everything was great. Large portions and we even opted for BOTH the hash browns AND home fries just for comparison and they were both great. read more

My wife and I fell upon Annie's totally unexpectedly. We were staying across the street at a local hotel when we decided to venture out and saw Annie's. The British theme intrigued us. Because of the holidays, the staff was dressed in a variety of Xmas apparel -- all very cute I might add. We were looking at the menu when all of sudden the entire wait staff and owner entertained the whole restaurant by performing one of Mariah Carey's holiday songs -- including synchronized dance moves. I took out my camera and captured all of it on video. Then, we were given a couple of Santa caps and were recognized as "first timers." This all preceded our order. We were told that the fish 'n chips platter was the preferred choice for most. We took their word and enjoyed a sizable order and tasty treat. All in all, it was a wonderfully delightful experience and enjoyable meal. Super friendly staff. read more

Do NOT trust these reviews. Came here for brunch after church on Easter Sunday. The staff, don't get me wrong, are very nice, but that does not give you excuses to serve poor quality food to paying customers!! The food, corned beef hash, an pinnacle of British eatery in a so called British themed restaurant, is something I would never eat again in my wildest dreams. This place is a poor excuse for a quality diner and not to mention its in the heart of Temecula wine county. Set the bar higher, Annie's! read more

I called to ask how long their wait was. I was told it was only 10 or 15 minutes. But they also asked me if I wanted to make a reservation. So I said yes. And I waited less than five minutes for a table when I got there. While I was waiting for my food, the owner & a few of her employees started dancing to loud music for a couple minutes to entertain their customers, about every 20 minutes. They have a large breakfast and brunch menu that is reasonably priced. And the breakfast scrambler that I ordered was large, tasted good and filled me up. And their service was very good. Since I was asked frequently if I needed anything, or if I wanted a refill for my hot tea. So I really like and recommend it. And I will go back there again to try something different next time. read more
