This is my favorite place to eat breakfast. I've been a regular every morning at 5:30am. I love nancy and Tracy when i do see them. My favorite is the Denver omlette. They have a variety as well if you need to custom your breakfast they got you. They have amazing choices to choose from. Their super kid friendly and their desserts are too die for! Everything all homemade. I always bring new people in to show them the great customer service and experience the dining as well as the food. If you never had penfolds cafe you must try! Also don't be afraid to speak if you have a food allergy or gluten sensitivity they know how to accommodate you. Their family too me and very family oriented. So you tell them your needs they will be more than happy to take care of you!!! read more

Excellent service, large portions. Came on a Sunday and it was packed, we only had to wait 15 minutes. Country fried steak was huge but dry, everything else was excellent. read more

One of the best breakfast places I've been to in Temecula. The menu is big, the food is so good and fresh. The biscuits and gravy are my favorite. I definitely recommend this place if you want a good portion and a yummy breakfast. All of the staff is super sweet too. Just go, it's totally worth it! Also, don't let the lines intimidate you, we've been on Friday and Saturday mornings and the wait was about 20 to 30 minutes and it went by quick, worth the wait!! read more

Penfold's Café - Sausage and cheddar omelet, hash browns and a side of biscuits and gravy to share!! Sooooo delicious. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Temecula, California

This place is AMAZING. Their food is delightful - highly recommend the blueberry muffin. Our servers (Taylor and Rebecca) were quick, friendly & knowledgeable about the menu. 10/10 recommend! read more

This place has really gone downhill! Used to be our go-to spot when in the area. Service was good, but food was pretty bad. Eggs Benedict says sliced ham, but was more like deli-thin slice. Asked for medium poached eggs, but eggs over-cooked. Hollandaise was less than warm and pretty tasteless . Breakfast special ($9.99) of 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and 2 sausage was pretty bad. One of 2 pancakes was partially burnt & pancakes were tough. Over-easy eggs were over-cooked as well. So was $35+ for breakfast for 2 (1 coffee & 2 waters) plus tip .... absolutely an awful breakfast. Will definitely NOT be back. Yelp shows I am not alone in my assessment, so perhaps owner will make some changes, or will stop seeing lines out the door as he indicates in a response to another bad review. read more

First time in Penfold's! Friendly place with great breakfast options. I ordered chicken and waffle and it was delicious. My husband ordered eggs Benedict it was great. Service was top notch! Kids friendly. After breakfast you can do a little shopping @ old town Temecula. Will definitely come back for the Crunch French Toast! read more

15-20 min sitting outdoors with our dog. No service. No drinks. No food order. They seated us so they were aware we were there. 80 degrees outside. read more

Last time we came for breakfast so this time we came for lunch. Once again we are delighted with the amazing food and service. Portions are huge and service is quick even with a full house. My son got the chicken and waffles, a dish Penfold's is well know for. Huge fully waffle and the chicken is juicy, crispy and flavorful. The crust has the flavor of the juices from the chicken and is not greasy in the least. I had the chicken fried beef steak, mashed potatoes with gravy and a salad. The meat is tender and has a wonderful coating. The potatoes are delicious with bits of the red potato skins and small pieces of potato. Monique was a sweetheart. Very friendly and extremely polite. She checked on us often and made sure our drinks stayed full. A beautiful smile and a total delight. Overall this was another wonderful meal. You cant beat the outstanding kitchen staff and waitresses. The food is cooked to perfection and always fresh. The service is top notch. The decor is fun and filled with mentos of generations of childhood. It is easy to see why this is such a popular place to eat! read more

Of course I can make this at home but I don't wanna do the dishes lol! I'll be visiting again.... Soon! Maybe I'll try their Cinnamon Roll French Toast I hear it's Spectacular! read more

First time there, lucky enough to have Rebecca as our server. All 6 of us had something different & all of us enjoyed every bite. Will definitely go back when in the area. read more

good food and service was also good but the food in general, you can definitely make it at home

Review #2 - 6 years later. Nice motorcycle ride with some buddies from South Orange County. It was busy about a 25 minute wait for a table. But, the service was fast and friendly and the food was worth the wait. So sorry I don't remember our servers name (my bad) she had a mask on but my buddy commented on how pretty her eyes were, he always flirts with our waitress :) We will be back and this time it won't be 6 years! THANK YOU! read more

My mother and I were searching for a new restaurant to dine at when she comes to visit me, and we believe we've found our ideal spot! The food is absolutely delicious, and the customer service is truly outstanding. read more

Great service and huge portions. We had the corn beef with hash brown, chicken fried steak. They give you an option of hash brown, fruit or fries ANDDDDD a choice of biscuit and gravy, muffin or toast. It was a pretty large potion of food for 2 people. Delicious food at that. The service was amazing, they constantly checked up on us and provided a friendly smile. Total order was like 25 dollars with coffee. The first coffee was great, but I don't know what happened to the second cup. I'm not complaining though. It's hard to get to the bottom of it. Great deal and we couldn't finish the food. I'm sure we could have ordered less expensive items for those that are taking in the finance option. I would definitely come back and order less next time. Hahah thank you! read more

We were a party of three including our friend who had breakfast for the first time there. From the beginning, when my wife who is concerned about COVID could not immediately decide whether to eat on the patio or the cozy inside booths, the manager who greeted us was so patient in waiting. After handing us off to Christine who was also so friendly, attentive, and accommodating us to split the bill with our friend, answered all our questions regarding the extensive menu. I had their most popular omelette with gravy, fruit and biscuit( (ok tasting).. Not only was the omelette very tasty with the gravy, but portions were generous. My wife who loves sweet potato pancakes and orders them whenever she sees them on the menus when we travel, said they were the best so far. The sweet potato purée must be incorporated into the batter and not just placed on top of regular pancakes. The butter was soft and easily spreadable with maple syrup! Again portions so large she had to take some home. Our friend Bob had the pork chops breakfast and raved about them. Perhaps slightly overcooked, but he says they were very flavorful. He could not finish his biscuit and gravy being so full. Lastly, the pumpkin latte that my wife ordered did not meet her expectations, so our waitress Christine, without batting an eye took it away and replaced with another of my wife's choice (Carmel), which was good. Also, whether it was for salt & pepper to extra napkins or lemon for the water, she delivered in a timely fashion. With service like that, generous and tasty food along with a cozy atmosphere to eat at, you can't go wrong. We highly recommend this place! Enjoy. Mickey read more

I have been coming to Penfold's for over 20 years. It is consistent and hits the spot every time! The menu is big so whatever you are looking for, you can find it here. Breakfast, lunch or dinner there's a lot of options so anyone coming with you can find something. I love being able to get breakfast here it's my favorite in Temecula! It's good cooking and generous portions with tons of flavor. The staff is always friendly and you can tell they love where they work. Very kid friendly, you can feel the love the owners have put into this place when you walk in the door. The patio is shaded so you can eat outside if you like! read more

Food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. A huge menu made it easy for us all to order what we were craving. Food came so quickly and was amazing. Service was wonderful even on a busy Saturday morning, and we barely had to wait with 5 people. It was great, we will definitely be back! read more

Family owned and operated with high quality food and service. Our favorite breakfast place! See you on Sunday!

Was literally a 10/10 until I noticed my take out order was melted on the bottom and I ate a full meal of plastic styrofoam. half way finished with my food my stomach started burning and felt sick didn't think too much about it until I was finished and seen what I described above super disappointing and really unhealthy read more

First off the service was great! The hostess in the front was so sweet and helpful. The wait was long but it was worth it. The waitress was fast and got us drinks and our orders fast. We had the captain crunch French toast, it was sooo good. It was crunchy on the outside and the inside was moist. The egg breakfast was perfect. We also has the mess and it was really good! 10/10 recommend read more

Delicious cafe in Temecula that serves breakfast and lunch all day! This is such a cozy family owned business. There is a lot of space with a gift shop area, bar area to dine, many booths, and space to just order their baked good to go. Can't rate them on their lunch items, but had an enjoyable experience for brunch. The menu has multiple options for breakfast (omelettes, pancakes, waffles, and benedicts) and lunch (salads, Mexican food, soups and sandwiches/burgers). I like that they have a build your own burger and omelette! Food was delicious with large portions. Highly recommend the chipotle onion rings! $1 more as a side and worth it. Nova Scotia Benedict - 5/5 - The smoked salmon portion was generous and I loved that it was served cold. Most smoked salmon is served warm due to the heat of the egg. But this was the perfect ratio of hollandaise, poached egg, smoked salmon, and spinach! Wish I could eat this again! The Mess - 5/5 - Literally everything but the kitchen sink! Ground beef, eggs, hash browns, onions, spinach, and mushrooms all scrambled together. It's served with salsa but I wasn't a huge fan of the it...no flavor. The scramble was delicious and filled a whole plate. Service was attentive. You pay at the front once you're done with your meal. This is a wonderful place for brunch or a quick lunch. Definitely will be my go to place when I'm back in Temecula. read more

Didn't have the best first experience here. Waited so long for our food, the manager even came out to apologize to us. Once we got it, half our table either had cold food or things wrong. Granted, they were busy, but just had higher hopes for this cute spot. read more

Delicious food and prompt, friendly service. Generous portions for your money! The kids' breakfast meals include three items of their choice, so they won't be left wanting. The omelettes include two sides. The Mediterranean omelette was really unique and tasty. Try adding Bailey's to the cold brew if it's hot out! read more

This place was really good! I was really excited to try their breakfast and the menu had a lot of options, I literally couldn't decide. I ordered the stuffed French toast which was unusually put together with not so ordinary sweet stuffing, however they only served it with small watermelon pieces and a sliced orange. Personally I can eat and I think it would've been a little bit better if they put some more fresh fruit on there such as strawberries. It's not a huge place, the wait was not too long, and the staff are all friendly. Will go back again soon! read more
