Proper Bakery + Cafe, located on Jefferson Ave in Murrieta, is quite the find. What appears to be a family-owned and operated bakery offers a very appealing selection of savory and sweet items for breakfast, brunch, and even lunch. One notable matter is their Cookie Rotation schedule that provides a listing of which cookies are available each or every day. As an example: Monday and Friday, they offer Mocha, Snickerdoodle, Caramel Pretzel & Cookie Monster. From the bakery, you will find Cinnamon Rolls, Croissants, Muffins, Cheesecake, Pizza Buns, Cheddar Cheese Jalapeno Buns, and others. On the beverage menu, options include the usual coffees (Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte, Mocha, Cold Brew), tea, and juices, and craft sodas in various flavors. The atmosphere is on the chill side with upbeat music, brightly lit, comfortable, homely seating, and staff that is warm and welcoming. My coffee and bakery items were fresh and delicious, and I highly recommend them. read more

I was running errands on a Thursday and needed a quick lunch. I came across this cute little café and decided to give it a try. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the delicious aroma of cookies and freshly baked goods. The gentleman at the register told me that breakfast and lunch are served all day, which was a pleasant surprise! I ordered the protein bowl, an iced matcha latte, and a white chocolate raspberry cookie. Everything was absolutely delicious. The cookie arrived first. It had a chewy texture with bits of raspberry and small morsels of white chocolate throughout. The protein bowl was packed with all the best breakfast staples--eggs, potatoes, bacon, and tons of melted cheese on top. The iced matcha latte was refreshing and flavorful; however, it wasn't sweetened, so keep that in mind if you prefer sweeter drinks. Overall, I had a great experience. Everyone working there was kind and friendly, and the food was both filling and delicious. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

I popped in to order my grandson's birthday cake, it's this lovely brownie bottom cheesecake that is to die for. Whenever I buy a slice I'm lucky if I actually get a bite. I ordered some breakfast, chai latte and the protein bowl. The chai latte is perfect, just the right amount of spice and sweet. And the protein bowl was filled with steak, bacon, red bell peppers, onions eggs and melted cheese with a bit of salsa on the side. I couldn't hardly finish it! This is a warm relaxing place with good vibes and friendly atmosphere and the people are pretty awesome too. The pastries are made fresh in house and I tell you ( I've had a few) they are so so yummy. Thank you for always making it a wonderful and delicious experience! read more

Proper bakery is a nice addition to the Murrieta/Temecula desserts/sweets/pastries scene. The staff at Proper are warm, engaging, and kind. The gentleman who served me was calm, gentle, kind - and earnestly enthusiastic about the treats that Proper offers. I got the cinnamon roll and the chocolate roll. Cinnamon roll goodness is subjective; the following statements reflect reference my personal preferences. I found the cinnamon rolls to be very bread-like. I also found them to lack cinnamon. To be fair, i am eccentric- and zealous about cinnamon quantity, but i prefer a LOT more cinnamon. These roles had more of a 'snickerdoodle' quality to them- and i prefer a ton more cinnamon. I also felt there was not enough 'cinnamonny goo' () in the rolls. Like i said - I'm a cinnamon zealot - but i want more of that cinnaminny goooooeyness that makes that roll more chewy. This is not that kind of roll. This roll is a bit more on the 'dry' side. Maybe if I'd come earlier in the morning I'd have gotten one a bit more moist and fresh from the oven. I DID ENJOY the roll. It was fresh, it had a 'nice' flavor to it, and i am glad i got it. The frosting was very good! The chocolate roll was actually the same Kind of roll as the cinnamon roll- and I'd say it actually had MORE chocolate than the cinnamon roll had cinnamon- and that made it quite enjoyable, heated up at home. Somehow the chocolatty gooeyness factor was double that of the cinnamon roll- and i enjoyed that. I prefer rolls that are either MORE CHEWY or More flaky- or even better - have that exquisite combination of both chewy doughiness and light flakiness combined with rich excessively cinamonny cinnamon gooeyness. Perhaps Proper could experiment a bit with that??? I'll be back at Proper! They make really good treats. The staff is really earnestly nice. read more

You walk in and smell the food cooking. The chorizo burrito was huge and delicious. Had their Coconut dream latte. I was expecting it to taste like an almond joy latte, but it didn't. It tasted like a refreshing coconut drink with coconut flakes. Still think about it to this day because it was that good. Service was fast and welcoming. Definitely coming back to try the other goodies and another coconut dream. read more

Great find!! Amazing breakfast burritos, coffee, and baked goods. Go see Hamilton! He gives the best food suggestions

Came to check out a new breakfast/lunch spot and was impressed! The food and drink menu was full of options! Ordered the breakfast burrito and homemade salsa and it was delicious. My husband devoured his Cuban sandwich. We couldn't leave the bakery without cookies, and let me tell you, they are amazing!!! The crafted soda and coffee were equally delicious! Can't wait to come and try more items. The service was excellent and we felt really attended to. The whole team was friendly and greeted us with a smile. Our server Janie was full of recommendations and so friendly!! Really charming dining area with plenty of seating was a big plus! I'm regretting not ordering a cinnamon roll they look devine. read more

Wow. So glad that we were visiting a ranch nearby and the timing worked out well to stop in for lunch before they closed. Located in an industrial type complex, decent parking, easy to find. When you walk in you see a fun, nice, clean place, loaded with fun decor, and it is decorated for Halloween right now too. The staff is a nice family, very friendly, service with a smile. Efficient, fast, and so nice and polite. Checking on us after the food was brought out. They said they have been open a little over 3 months ago. They play good music, there is nice seating inside, one small table outside, and inside there are some usb plugs under the table. Plenty of breakfast, lunch, and bakery items. Plenty of pics posted for you to check out. We tried several fantastic items. The Greek salad, it was reasonably priced, large portion, and yummy. A little too much dressing for me but still great. I also tried the Caprese sandwich. Wow. Definitely delicious. High quality ingredients. The Ciabatta bread, the balsamic drizzle. Outstanding. My portion was gone in minutes. The Chicken Ciabatta sandwich was so good too. More high quality ingredients, and delicious flavor. I also devoured my portion as well. Our friend tried the Cuban and he liked it as well. Then we ordered a variety of desserts. My wife liked the Mocha cookie, I did not try it. We all tried the white chocolate macadamia cookie, it was moist, soft, flavorful, so we ordered another one to go. I tried the Halloween cinnamon roll, it was large, soft, fluffy, and flavorful. The cheesecake brownie wad divine. Best of both worlds, part brownie and part cheesecake. Our friend got a burrito, and a jalapeno cheese bread roll to go, they looked good, but I did not get to try those. The prices were very reasonable, and the quality of the food and service were outstanding. I wish they had a location closer to Vista. read more

SO DELICIOUS! I'm not a huge sweets person but with the variety of options they had these 2 really stood out. Both the roll and cheesecake were sooo good and not too sweet but still sweet enough.

Proper is a new restaurant that opened 3 weeks ago! It's tucked away in a business area so there's plenty of parking. The owners are so sweet and accommodating. Everything is made in- house and they have everything including cookies, croissants, cinnamon rolls. I like savory goods for breakfast and got the jalapeno cheddar bun. It was nice and fluffy and something that wasn't too heavy. My partner got the loaded breakfast burrito and it was delicious! The eggs are fluffy and they really load it w flavor since they add the salsa in the mix as well. He was satisfied and food coma-ed in the car. We will definitely be back. Not a lot of traffic since they're still new but hopefully we can check out their sweet items. read more

Stopped by this coffee shop and WOW -- everything hit the mark. The chorizo burrito was hands down the star of the show... perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and seriously satisfying.

I've lived in the area for a while and somehow never noticed Proper Bakery Café until yesterday. I stopped in for breakfast and ordered the breakfast chorizo burrito. The burrito packs a ton of flavor, and the salsa it comes with is just as good. I usually skip salsa on breakfast burritos because it's always generic, but this one was unique and actually added to the whole experience. The guy working the counter was very friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better. The cafe has a decent amount of space inside, and there's plenty of parking, so it's easy to get in and out. I'd post a picture, but I ate it so fast I completely forgot. read more
