Heading towards wine country, it was along the way off the 60. Made it easy as it was a couple minutes off the freeway. It's located in a pretty massive strip mall with loads of other businesses. Plenty of parking which is alway a good thing whenever you're somewhere. Simple storefront but once you walk inside the place was pretty big. On side of the bakery is where the pastries and baked goods are. If you haven't been to one of the chain stores, you grab a tray and help yourself to the package sweets. There's rows and rows of fresh baked daily goods. Every piece is individually wrapped. Not only sweets, there's also sandwiches which I didn't even know they had. Along the front where the cashier is, whole cakes and slices are available. Once you finished picking out what you want, take the tray to the counter and that's where they ring things up. Drinks can also be ordered there. I did pick up a couple of boxes of the individual pastries and sweets. Both savory and sweets. A while strawberry cake and two drinks. That came up to about 108.00. The staff were all pretty sweet and friendly. I overheard one of the other cashier asking another patron if they wanted something heated up. Which I asked the cashier that was ringing my order up but she couldn't heat my croissant up as it wasn't the pre wrapped sandwiches. Only sandwiches could be heated up. Oh well. As I ordered drinks, which the other half of the cafe is the dining area. First off, the place was pretty massive and majority of the space in the middle isn't utilized. Just an open space which the could have added more tables for seating. Even though there was good amount of people working the drinks counter, it took forever for our drinks to be ready. It seemed like only one person was making the drinks which I think took at least 10 minutes for my drinks to be ready. Overall, it a nice space and the shelves were fully stocked. Come first thing as you know everything should be fresh and available. Downfall, it took forever for drinks to be made and it wasn't that busy when we walked in.

The baguette was perfectly toasted, and the pesto sauce was rich, cheesy, and full of flavor. We also tried the cupcakes, which were incredibly tasty. They have a great selection of baked goods, including a variety of cupcakes and danishes, making it hard to choose just one. The service was excellent, even during a busy morning rush. The staff was friendly, efficient, and kept everything running smoothly. Although the café is on the smaller side, it's thoughtfully laid out with plenty of seating to relax and enjoy your coffee and food. Overall, it was a wonderful first experience, and we'll definitely be back!

While this location is smaller than the East Riverside location I usually visit, I love that they offer the same menu. I ordered a 'hot Vanilla Caffé Latte' and the 'Pastrami & Swiss' sandwich. The latte was perfectly crafted with an ideal espresso-to-milk ratio and just the right amount of foam. The sandwich, served on a rye swirl loaf, was delicious...the pastrami, spicy brown mustard, and Swiss cheese were perfectly balanced, though it was toasted a bit too long for my preference, resulting in a crunchy rather than soft texture. I skipped the cupcake this time to balance out the sweet latte. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient, and there is indoor seating available. Overall, a great experience; I'll definitely be back to try more treats.

Prices are still affordable too - college student friendly prices. Location is unbeatable - right in University Village (and parking is free now, don't need validation), walking distance from UCR, and right next to the University Ave freeway entrance/exit. We both each got a Cheesecake Slice, Matcha for me & Blueberry for him, and we cut them in half to share. Both were really good! Great value - I think they were only $3.75 each slice! Service was good. Ambiance - it's small and tight so there's nowhere to sit. My friend and I went over to Qamaria to find a table to sit down at instead. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back if/when I'm in the area again!

The decor was simple, nothing was a wow factor. Does take away from the it being cute. Customer service: the lady that helped us was nice, but didn't notify us there would be a surcharge. What's it for? Card? Cakes? Takeout? Just notify me. Food: I got two cupcakes $7 per. 1 brownie $6.50. 1 cake pop and one almond croissant. Total $35 and some change. For those prices I would expect my food to not be spoiled. It was the matcha cupcake. The bread and strawberry were soured. The only thing we ate and finished was the brownie. And it tasted weird. Everything else was split between 4 people and even then half of everything was thrown away. $35 and spoiled.

This is a small bakery that opens early, and was busy with a steady stream of customers, which I took as a sign that this place was good. Most were getting pastries and bread (which you help yourself to and place on a tray & pay at register), but some were also ordering tamales. They also serve smoothies! Ordered two and a half dozen tamales (18 cheese and a dozen pork) but when we got home realized that all the tamales looked alike; as none were marked or separated; and we were given chicken instead of pork. Once reheated, the tamales tasted amazing. We also got a dozen mini conchas at 70c each. Pretty affordable and tasty. The tamales were $35/dozen. Will be back again!
