I was really excited to come back and try the cinnamon roll and even woke up a little extra early for it. I've met the owner before, and she was incredibly kind and welcoming. I love supporting local, Filipino-owned businesses, which makes it even more disappointing to leave this review. I was one of the first customer in line when the store opened at 7:30 AM, and there were quite a few customers behind me after that. My order was placed at 7:44 AM, and I received my coffee and croissant fairly quickly. However, I was still waiting on the 4 cinnamon rolls I had ordered. Around 20 minutes later, I went up to the counter to check on my order. I was reassured that my cinnamon rolls were being made and told that it usually takes about 30 minutes, so I continued waiting. As more time passed, I noticed customers who ordered both before and after me receiving their orders while I was still waiting. At that point, I started to feel like my order may have been missed. I checked a second time and explained that I felt like my order may have been missed. The gentleman who helped me was much kinder than the first person I spoke with and was apologetic, which I appreciated. Finally, another employee, who I believe was the owner's husband, asked to see my receipt and discovered that my order had been misplaced. I received my cinnamon rolls around 8:30 AM. While I understand that popular items can take time, it was frustrating to find out that my order had actually been misplaced after I had already asked about it twice. Mistakes happen, and I appreciate the owner's husband for being honest about what happened and the gentleman for taking the time to help. I love supporting local businesses and hope this doesn't happen to another customer. read more

I really enjoyed being here, it was my first time here. My friends and I saw a video of this place on instagram and wanted to try it. When we arrived the vibe there and aesthetic was very pleasing and welcoming. We wanted to get the matcha because we love matcha. Some places in this area don't have good matcha. I got the matcha cloud coconut water. It was so good! The people working there were sweet and accommodating they did have a mix up with my order, but when something was said they were able to fix right away. All in all I definitely recommend coming here if you are wanting good matcha and good vibes. Next time I come I want to try their coffee next time and food. read more

their cookie butter cinnamon roll was good! They've got other great options too like their pressed butter croissant. I honestly can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

I came here thinking it would be one of those over rated places that was only good in pictures and reels but I was wrong! We ordered a ham and Swiss croissant, a chicken pesto panini, and a matcha flight. I got the ham and Swiss croissant with pickled onions and it was quite good! The pickled onions added a tartiness to it that surprised me. The chicken pesto panini was really good as well. It came with a salad and vinaigrette that I really liked. The matcha flight came with coconut cloud, ube matcha, pistachio matcha and lavender matcha. I didn't really like the coconut cloud much, it just tasted like coconut water. My favorite was the lavender matcha. Send being the pistachio and then the ube. I didn't like that they cut the straws in half because they weren't tall enough to peak out of the cup and I had to dig it out with my fingers lol. That's easily fixed by just grabbing the regular sized straws. The service was good, the line was to the door but they got our orders quickly. The place play music at a nice level that's not too loud. They get packed though so be prepared to stand. I've tried 2 other matcha places and this one has had the best lavender matcha out of them all. read more

Came here on a sunday. Not too busy and not line was not that long. Ordered espresso latte and iced macha. Espresso latte was great. Just the right coffee + milk ratios. Can taste the coffee flavor vs the milk. Not too bland as well. For the iced matcha. My wife ordered the the unsweetened ceremonial match latte. We can really taste the bitterness of the matcha which tells us that they use authentic ingredients. This is our 4th time here before giving a review and i can say that this is one of our fav coffee spots. Price is a little high but you pay for the quality. We also met with the owners and had a little chat. Very hardworking and they are really commited to their craft. We'll definitely be back! read more

Got a large cookie butter latte: take a wild guess on the price... $15.75! Good, but totally not worth it. Also got a caramel ice blended: bad consistency that turned into a blob of ice after a few minutes and was bland from the get go. And got the blueberry lemon poppyseed muffin: sounded like it would have pops of flavor... it was the most bland muffin ever that I had to throw away after a few bites. Management, please read my review and do better for other customers. I won't be back :( read more

Liquid Leaf - $15.75 for a large cookie butter latte?! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Murrieta, California

just came here and The space was super clean, decent seating and it was really cute. The matcha itself was pretty good, I would def come back to try their other selections of matcha. If you don't like too strong of the matcha flavor I recommend getting it with the ube cold foam because the cold foam over powers a bit of the matcha taste when mixed. As for the actual matcha it's a decent quality matcha and very enjoyable. This place is definitely on the pricier side about $9-10 for a matcha and a latte but next time I'd try their banana or get their float they offer! read more

So excited that they added the coffee/matcha flights everyday! Got a taste of each one, and personally the banana bread was my favorite! They have oat milk and whole milk alternatives as needed. The server was very kind and even the customers were too! I was able to ask the person in front of me if they had any recommendations since they mentioned they've been here a few times and they definitely said to try the Dubai! read more

Liquid Leaf - Coffee Flight - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Murrieta, California

Love having a delicious tea/coffee shop just down the street. We loved everything about it. The drinks are on point and you can tell it's all made fresh. From the chai, to the matcha, latte a the tea, we couldn't decide which we liked best. The cash register girl was very nice and patient as we out in our long order. Great service. Staff is happy. We really enjoyed playing a little game of Uno. Found a nice wide table that allowed us to play plus the ambiance was perfect, not loud but not too quiet. It's perfect. We did order food but it was good that we forgot to take pictures. Their egg, bacon and cheese sandwich on their everything bagel with extra pesto was delicious. The avo w/an over hard egg bagel was so good too. So much flavor and so fresh. Looking forward to visiting again soon. Highly recommend visiting this shop. They have everything you need to satisfy your pallet and knowing it's all made fresh. read more

My review is for the Sandwiches only (to-go), since I did not order any drinks or have any desserts. I ordered to-go. The coffee shop is beautiful inside, and has great decor, but due to the social media exposure, they have a long line of people waiting. This is usually what happens when an influencer on Instagram or TikTok features a coffee shop. On weekends, expect to wait 40 minutes for two sandwiches. The Avocado Panini was okay. I expected a little more from the pressed croissant panini. It looks similar to a Costco croissant I can make at home. I was expecting a pesto spread as seen in the picture on the website. I was never asked for spread options. I just assumed it was included. I work for a brand agency and I know the importance of making the items on the menu look exactly like what you are going to get. It's a learning experience. I do not drink coffee or matcha, but the drink selection did look nice. I would encourage the business to provide menus or a QR code for people to make their decisions prior to heading to the cashier. A lot of people behind me were complaining about how long it takes people to order. Some people took at least 15 minutes to make a decision, which I know the coffee shop can't control. I'd be willing to try the place again for desserts. I loved the table decor. I also want to mention that online ordering was not a possibility as it mentioned it was turned off. Most likely due to the crowds on the weekend. read more

The cookie butter latte was amazing! So delicious and paired with the Ube Cinnamon roll was so good. The staff was so kind and organized. And the owner is so genuine! This is def a place you don't want to snooze on. If you want the cinnamon rolls, it's only on Sunday mornings. The line started at 7am but they don't start taking orders for the rolls until about 8am I believe (not 100% sure) BUT what I am sure about, GET THERE EARLY bc they sell out in less than an hour for the Ube! read more

I was waiting in line for 20 minutes then the owner made an announcement that all the staff is going to lunch and they are stopping orders for 30 mins.... I was at a loss of words I've never seen that before; unless there's lunch hours where businesses close for lunch which aren't posted for this location. The line was out the door and just telling us we can't order. Then after the announcement one of the employees started slamming items and looked really irritated. I mentioned it to the owners husband and he seemed to have several excuses for her behavior. I was really looking forward to trying this spot..poor customer service!!! read more

Holy moly this place is expensive! I think it knows it since it has a sign that says "it's not expensive, it's quality." Umm... I have never paid $15 for a drink (and don't say it was for a 32 oz because it was not!). Uncharged to make the drink iced and uncharged for oat milk, which most places around here aren't doing- I will not be back. If you're going to charge for it being iced- can it at least be cold? All my cookie butter was on my lid. Drink was mid. For $15 it should be "something to write home about." By the way- I almost only frequent 'ma and pa' coffee places to try to support small businesses- I don't like large chains. But I also don't like getting ripped off. I loved Proper in Murrieta, Brim, Hush and Crafted Scone is good too. read more

My drink was pretty tasty, but it seemed like they totally forgot to make my order for a while and then rushed it.. The person who took my order was super friendly though. Really disappointed by the abundant AI 'art' though. It's tough to support a business that couldn't see the value in supporting a local artist to make them some great murals and instead resorted to generated images. :/ read more

Liquid Leaf - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Murrieta, California

Such a cozy little spot--one of those places you end up staying longer than you planned. The coffee is really good -- my fave is the Cookie Butter Latte. Make sure you come on a Saturday that's when they have their cinnamon rolls, it goes so well with the coffee because it's not too sweet. We ended up taking half a dozen to go! Staff is really friendly, we came during their grand reopening and got to chat with the owners who are also super sweet and welcoming. Me and my husband plan to come back to try other things on the menu like the Matcha, Hojicha and Panini's! read more

I swung by The Liquid Leaf when my craving for a matcha latte hit. It's tucked on the southwest corner of Winchester & Murrieta Hot Springs, w plenty of parking... which is great, bc nothing ruins a matcha moment like playing musical chairs w parking spots. The staff was super friendly and had my 24 oz matcha latte ready faster than I could finish taking pics inside. The drink itself was good....smooth, pleasant, totally drinkable.... but it was missing that little "wow" factor that fancy ceremonial-grade sparkle that makes you feel like you've ascended into matcha heaven. Tasty, but just not life-changing. read more

Liquid Leaf has officially become our go-to spot. We've been on the hunt for the best matcha, and we finally found it here. The blueberry matcha was my original favorite. So good. But now they've introduced the ube matcha, and honestly... it's the best one yet. Smooth, flavorful, and just the right balance of sweetness. The vibe of the shop is beautiful and welcoming, and the staff are always so friendly. You can tell they really care about the experience they're creating. My family is obsessed with the food too! The everything bagel, bacon popper panini, and chicken panini are all solid favorites. And I have to mention the cookie butter latte... easily one of the best I've had. We always have a great experience every time we visit. Liquid Leaf is hands down our favorite spot for matcha and lattes. read more

What a wonderful addition to our neighborhood! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the friendliest staff. Natalie the owner & her husband make everyone feel so welcome. The coffee and matcha are absolutely delicious, the baked goods are incredible, and the UBE cinnamon rolls are out of this world! The sandwiches are fresh, flavorful, and made with care. It's rare to find a place that gets everything right--the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, and the customer service--but you have done just that. Wishing you continued success and many years of serving our community. We'll definitely be back again and again! read more

I finally got the chance to try this spot! It's in a busy Albertsons shopping center. We arrived around 9 in morning and there quite a bit of people inside already. The cafe has a greenery, rustic feel to it. There are murals of plants and a butterfly on the walls with potted fake/real plants around. There is merch for sale like hats and also plants. There already customers inside, at the tables chatting or eating/drinking. The menu is on a tablet displayed on the wall. They have so much to choose from! They have a breakfast menu from 7:30-10:30 am and lunch menu from 10:30am-1:30 pm. This mainly consists of bagels, toast, and sandwiches. They also have a pastry shelf with scones and other goodies. I decided to get the bacon bagel avocado toast and the iced blueberry matcha. They have different sizes for drinks and different types of bagels. The barista asked if it was to go and I said yes. My order came out to $21 with some change. People were always coming and going and the staff were always taking and making orders. Staff is friendly. My order did not take too long to be ready. The toast looked very aesthetically pleasing with the way everything was arrange in the to go box. My blueberry matcha was the right amount of green. The bagel was very delicious and my blueberry matcha was so good! This was my first time tasting a blueberry matcha and you can really taste the blueberry. This cafe may not be for everyone depending what you're looking for. This was such a good experience! read more

Just love this place, the best matcha ever Excellent customer service and beautiful place read more

There was a line out the door, so I thought this place must be great. Looks can be deceiving. The food/drink: Iced ube matcha cloud - this was good, but nothing special Bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant - this was not good at all and was also missing sausage and the egg. It seemed to be more of a croissant with ham and cheese, so I'm not sure if they gave me the wrong order or what, but regardless, it wasn't good. Ube scone - I liked this, good flavor overall. Overall, this place doesn't seem good as a breakfast spot, but it does seem to be an ok place to grab a latte and a scone. In my opinion, it is very expensive for the quality. It was also legitimately packed inside, which made the ambiance feel messy and chaotic. To management, I recommend focusing more on quality and less on getting as many people in the door as possible. read more

The owner and all the workers are so cute and sweet. The cashier and all of the baristas were so welcoming, and you can tell them work hard but love their job. The atmosphere in the shop has such good energy and vibes (side note it wasn't ice cold like a lot of cafes are which I can appreciate a lot). I got the cookie butter later and it was SOOOOOOO good, I'm a sucker for a cookie butter latte and it's so so good, it's sweet but not too sweet and it's not over powered where you can't taste the coffee it's just perfect 10/10. read more

Liquid Leaf - Ube and Cookie Butter Cinnamon Rolls - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Murrieta, California

I finally was able to make it over, I was excited to try a matcha and panini. After ordering and waiting a little they informed me they were out of the unsweetened matcha. While im glad a small business is popular they're running out of things i was really looking forward to trying a drink. They offered to make a sweetened flavored matcha which was kind. Im not a huge fan of flavored powders but overall its really smooth i can tell a regular one without the strawberry flavor would be my speed. I was also really excited for the sandwich but it was definitely pressed but clearly for just a second so the sandwich kinda fell flat with the soft bread. The service was great everyone was kind. I didn't get his name but the man who may of been the manager or owner was extremely kind and apologetic and made me the substitute drink! read more

Fell in love with Liquid Leaf the moment I walked in! The space is cozy, comfy, and spacious, and the beautiful wallpaper adds such a charming and relaxing touch.

As a matcha lover, I can say this place hits the bullseye The Matcha Raspberry Latte with vanilla cold cream and caramel drizzle is a total standout! The staff are also super friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions and make you feel welcome. Amazing vibe, amazing food, and amazing service.

Loved everything this place has to offer. From the very welcoming and cute vibe, to the awesome team and amazing coffee, matcha and food, we really had a great time! The lovely owner, Natalie, whom I met first via Instagram direct message (she accommodated a request which made all 20+ of us so very happy!), was even lovelier in person, so with her husband Justin, they took time to make sure everything is fine and that everyone is having a good time. We are already planning our next visit. read more

Super cute little cafe. The place is clean and inviting. The workers are super friendly and helpful. It was my first time in and I just stared at the menu for a while. Finally decided on a dirty chai, a vanilla latte, smoothie, and a turkey avocado panini. Price wasn't bad but this place just isn't for me. The chai was watery with an added bitterness of the espresso shot. It was disappointing. The vanilla latte was just mid. I'm not sure what type of oat milk they use but it didn't save the latte. My daughter liked her smoothie and was happy. The panini was not good. I was expecting turkey and avocado but it was turkey and like guacamole. Maybe that was in the description and I missed it. Warm, mush sandwich. I know this place is loved by a lot of people so MAYBE I'll stop by again and try their matcha ‍ read more

It was my first time at Liquid Leaf, and I'm so glad I stopped by! The service was fantastic--the staff was incredibly friendly and recommended the bacon popper panini, which is one of their most popular sandwiches. It was absolutely delicious, and they have a great variety of other options I can't wait to try. For my drink, I had the blueberry matcha with regular milk. It was the perfect blend of sweet and savory; if you like your drinks on the sweeter side, this is definitely the one to get. The prices are very reasonable, too. I also loved the ambiance and the artwork throughout the shop. It has such a welcoming atmosphere that I'd definitely come back here to get some homework done. Highly recommend! read more

Great place over. But if you order something else other than coffee, they tend to take a very long time to get order ready. So be prepared to wait if you order a sandwich, smoothie, or anything else. read more

If you're a real coffee or matcha, drinker. Stay away! Their drinks are overly sweet you can't even taste the matcha. Straight tasted like blueberry milk with a gallon of condensed milk. It's a great place for vibes and hanging out. But if you genuinely need a pick me up, their coffee and matchas are not it. read more
