    Mac n Farmhouse Mac & Cheese
    Tiffany T.

    Suchhh a good little family owned hole in the wall spot!! A little hard to find since it's in the back of a spa, but omg, I was blown away. Everything was so good. They make their spices and a bunch of other stuff in house, so the flavors are so unique and really stand out. Owners are so sweet and easy to talk to! Food came out pretty fast as well. They do drip coffee but if they ever decided to have an espresso machine I would be so happy!! Either way, I'll definitely be back!

    This is a unique spot as it is in the back of the "Alexander's salon and spa" but it it delicious and it was very reasonable. Maria and mark (I believe that was their names) were so sweet. Would eat here again.

    Turkey Pesto Panini
    Micaela T.

    This place is such an amazing hidden gem! They have great customer service and food! I ordered the Turkey Bacon Croissant Sandwich with many modifications. I changed it to a panini style, hot sandwich, with sourdough bread and removed the bacon. The woman who took my order was so kind and generously accommodated all of my requests. The panini was so yummy and warm with perfectly melty cheese. It also had a good amount of turkey and spinach which I loved. The cafe is in a little corner at the of the hall in Alexander's Salon and Spa. It's the perfect place to go if you ever have a long day at the salon and want a delicious quick bite or drink nearby! I so recommend!

    Loaded Farmhouse Mac & Cheese and Pesto Chicken Panini - served hot

    Second time leaving a review because it's that good. We haven't been here in a few months and we loved the new set up! Needless to say, quality and flavor is top notch!

    Honestly at first it's kind of questionable because the place is inside a salon but once you try the sandwiches they are amazing ! I definitely loved how most things are made from scratch. I also had their spicy tea drink & it was good as well. They did only have a bar like place to sit & eat but overall the price was good for the quality of food. they even serve you a side of roasted potatoes & with your sandwich order & the seasoning was great! I definitely will come back. The lady that attended me was awesome & she explained how they cook & prep their food so fresh.

    We had such a wonderful experience here! It was a little tricky to find at first but well worth the search! The restaurant is located within the salon building. The couple that owns it is so kind and the food is amazing to say the least. Even one the things that I didn't expect to like, I ended up loving (the tomato jam is to die for)! We will definitely be coming back, I can't wait to try more things from their menu.

    Service, food, everything was amazing. Literally a HIDDEN GEM in the back of Alexander's Spa. The owners/chefs are truly hospitable people that enjoy what they do. Ask them what they recommend and you are gonna have the best experience. Never thought a salon/spa place could have a great brunch spot. And btw the salon was full which I assume must be a great place too.

    OHP burrito, so flavorful!
    Varinia R.

    Wow, love this little cafe that's tucked inside of a hair salon! I've had this place bookmarked for so long and when my oldest daughter told me she stopped by and loved it, I knew I had to go. I had the OHP burrito with bacon and it was packed with flavor and love the cilantro lime sauce that comes on the side. I want like 2 of those since the burrito is pretty big! When you walk in, you just let the receptionist know you're going to the cafe and you walk towards the back and it's on the right hand side. I believe if you're already there for a salon appointment and you order from the cafe, you get a discount because the lady taking my order asked me if I was there for an appointment. There's so many other items I want to come back and try. Everything is made fresh to order, so it can take a little while to get your order. But it's so worth it because it comes out hot and delicious. Our Happy Place Cafe truly lives up to its name.

    Strawberry Lemonade
    Maggie M.

    Great place to sit with your significant other and enjoy a chicken pesto panini. Marea was great and provided great service. Mark made the paninis with love and we could taste it. The Mac n Cheese was good as well with a little bit of their home made chili powder on top. Come and support this business. You won't regret it. We will be back again. The strawberry lemonade was tarty and delicious.

    I don't think I've ever used the words "HIDDEN GEM" in my life but if I've ever been to a "hidden gem", this is it! I was meeting a friend for lunch and I left the location up to her. She chose a cute little café, with really good reviews that also happened to be located inside of a hair salon... I am not going to lie, I thought that was kind of odd... not odd in the sense that there was a café inside of a hair salon (because well that would be amazing if I was a customer there and could get this delicious food anytime I was getting my hair done) but I thought it was odd that we were going to this cafe from the outside in, if that makes sense? (which by the way we found out later was NOT odd. The lady sitting next to us found the café the same way we did (yelp of course) and just comes in (as a non-customer to the salon) for lunch. She actually comes so often, they consider her a regular. I also spoke with another lady who, although she DOES get her hair done at the salon, she had just come in that day to pick up lunch! But don't get me wrong, the people in the salon are ordering as well. I'm not kidding when I say for the hour or so we were sitting there l, the owner never stopped. Orders were coming in continuously and she so graciously would deliver them to the clients chair!!! That's AMAZING, especially because sometimes these hair services can take hours (IYKYK) Can't wait to go back and try something new. (I tend to be somewhat of a conservative eater as far as spice and texture and the mingling of flavors) so I went pretty standard with the turkey, bacon, provolone on a croissant (which was absolutely delicious). My friend got the spiced beet bowl and there was not a single crumb left in that bowl! This place was a 10/10 for great food & drinks, GREAT customer service and a super cool vibe!

    Chicken Cranberry Salad-DELISH!
    Kristin G.

    Impeccable service, delicious food and clean cafe. Couldn't ask for anything better on a solo lunch out. I enjoyed the chicken cranberry salad which was delicious and hit the spot. Everything on the menu looked so good. I'll definitely be back again!

    Iced coffee from our happy place
    John G.

    We almost missed Our Happy Place because we didn't realize it was inside Alexander's Salon & Spa, but I'm so glad we took the time to investigate further--what a hidden gem! I've had my fair share of breakfast burritos over the years, but nothing comes close to the one I had here. The flavors were bold, the ingredients fresh, and the sauce? Absolutely next-level. Just the right amount of spice to wake up your taste buds without overpowering the dish. Mark and Marea are absolutely killing it! If you're looking for an incredible breakfast in a cozy, welcoming spot, this is the place to be. Don't sleep on this one--you'll regret it!

    Great stuff here!

    I couldn't resist stopping for a soy chorizo burrito at my favorite spot. I can't believe that it is better than authentic chorizo-but it is! These guys are the best and the service is awesome even if the ambiance isn't as it is a counter at my favorite beard groomer.

    Definitely a happy place!

    We were on our way to visit my MIL for Mother's Day. We accidentally missed the 71 on-ramp since…read morethey changed it recently and we don't drive to the area very often. I decided I needed to take a detour to a coffee shop since we already kinda got lost. Deep Barrel Roasters & Creamery, is located in a small and old strip mall in old town Norco. Or at least I think it is. I'm not familiar with the area. I can tell you though, that navigation had us driving through newer developments and then the old part of Norco before we finally arrived. I thought we got even more lost at first. The place was actually pretty packed inside and after having our drinks and pastries, I can totally see why. The first half of the building is the cafe where you'll be greeted with some cute and funny coffee signs. There's two large shelves full of their own coffee beans of different roasts. They have a few small tables to sit and enjoy your orders, but note it is a bit of a tight fit in there. They also have a coffee bar where some people sat in front of the baristas. Past the cafe side is the creamery. I was in a rush and didn't have a chance to take a look. What we ordered; 1) Hot Mocha Rocha with soy milk - 5/5 stars. I forgot to ask for this as half sweet, but either way, it was absolutely delicious. Rich and very flavorful. 2) Iced Mocha Rocha - 5/5 stars. Just as delicious as the hot version. 3) pistachio muffin - 3/5 stars. This muffin had a generous amount of actual pistachio baked into the muffin itself which I liked, however, the muffin had more of an artificial pistachio flavor for me. I still ate it but I wasn't in love with that one. 4) chocolate croissant - 5/5 stars. This was such a hit, we ran out right away. Everyone in our group attacked these so fast. I have to say, I am SAD that I live so far from Deep Barrel Roasters & Creamery. They have a lot of pastries, ice cream including deep fried ice cream, and beverages. I absolutely loved this place and look forward to visiting them again. Next time, I for sure will grab a dozen or more to share with the family and bring some home, and we will definitely grab some frozen treats too. Deep Barrel, is a gem. Norco, sure is lucky to have them. They are a must if you are ever in the area.

I originally wanted to try just the orange blossom syrup, but the baristas suggested that vanilla bean syrup be added to tone down the potency of the orange blossom syrup while complementing it at the same time. This was a great rec since it was an enjoyable combo that didn't lose flavor after all the ice was diluted. Chocolate Chip Cookie: 5/5. A satisfying cookie that tasted better than it looks. I say this cuz I didn't see chocolate chips or chunks breaking through the dough, and the dough color was pretty pale, but looks can be deceiving, as this was a yummy treat. S'mores Brownie: 4/5. Super sweet and chocolatey and fudgy. Kinda sticky and messy due to the marshmallow topping and high sugar content, but they provide utensils for easy eating.

Their coffee, tea, and baked goods are fantastic, but the main reason I love this place is because it's very cozy and the perfect place to read, study, catch up with a friend, or go on a date.

They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.

Had a girls weekend with my bestie and wanted to grab a coffee before heading out our last day and we almost missed getting into the parking lot because it doesn't have the typical coffee shop store front. Actually, it's literally a hidden treasure. When I tell you that I did NOT expect that much space inside, I mean I was SHOCKED. The first room within the shop is quaint, cute and neutral in style. About 10 seconds after walking in, we were greeted in a very friendly manner by the young man up front. He was helpful too because I like to get something off the menu but nothing too far from what I usually go for and he recommended the Lucky Charms latte while my bestie got the Marzipan latte. I asked for it not to be too sweet so he made that special request and those coffees did NOT disappoint on flavor or representation. We loved the story he shared with us on how the coffee shop got started and was inviting to show us the event space that was being used now in the back.

I have consistently found the coffee quality to be satisfactory, which initially prompted my regular visits and my desire to support a local business. Furthermore, I must commend the exceptional service provided by a young gentleman on your staff, whose consistently positive and engaging attitude significantly brightens the customer experience. However, I have unfortunately encountered a recurring pattern of less-than-satisfactory customer service, primarily from an individual I understand to be the owner. Despite numerous attempts to provide positive reinforcement and offer a compliment on the coffee, responses have often been abrupt and dismissive, conveying a distinct lack of engagement. There is a frequent absence of basic greetings or acknowledgements, leading to an overall atmosphere that feels unwelcoming and impersonal. While I genuinely appreciate the product, the cumulative effect of these interactions has regrettably transformed my routine coffee stop into an increasingly stressful experience. Despite my initial commitment to your business, the current standard of service makes it difficult to continue my patronage, and I am now contemplating taking my consistent daily expenditure elsewhere. I hope this feedback is received with the intention it is given, which is to highlight an area for potential improvement that could significantly enhance the overall customer experience and foster greater customer loyalty.
