The decor from the outside looks welcoming and friendly... when you walk inside the vibes is nowhere the same. It has cute gifting ideas.. the coffee was nothing specular even though it was the tiramisu latte. The only good was the pastry. Not a fan. Maybe it was just that coffee or the barista who made it. And it was super slow with a lot of customers waiting, even some coming in to check on their drink orders.

The café is conveniently located right in the heart of the city. They offer one hour of free parking in a small lot shared with nearby businesses, not very large, but definitely better than nothing. There's a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating, making it easy to find a spot to sit and relax. I ordered a latte along with a butter croissant, and both were delicious. They also have a small shop inside where you can browse and buy mugs, shirts, and other fun items. Overall, it's a great spot and one I'd definitely recommend.

On a walk through downtown Temecula early in the morning, we decided to pop in for a hot drink. We warmly greeted by the staff upon entrance. Plus the warm environment of the shop made us feel at home. The menu offers some unique drinks and some common drinks you find at other coffee shops. A drink that stood out to me was a coffee and orange juice plus other items: served cold. Apparently a drink designed by a staff member to wake you up in the morning. The shop also offers beautiful looks pastries and cakes that I unfortunately did not get a chance to try. I did try a matcha chai that was so yummy that I wanted more but resisted. This coffee shop was a great find. Especially enjoyable during off season and early in the morning. During this time you find the locals stopping in for a quick drink and snack. Cheers!

My pretty girlfriend.  Def not on the menu, but she's 6/5 stars hands down.

Stopped in with 5 min till close and the staff couldn't be friendlier or more welcoming. Asked about the difference between the two mocha varieties they offer and the lady kindly explained and helped me decide. The place inside looks very chill for a sit down study spot or to mindlessly people watch. The Mayan mocha with oat milk was delicious. Not too sweet and wonderful foamy texture with hints of the cinnamon and spice they put on it. The price was appropriate for a shop like this. Recommend.

Cute spot. I had the Aztec mocha and coffee cake lattes both with 2% milk. I liked the powdered finish on the froth. The Aztec mocha was good but not as rich as I would have liked and it was missing some spiced flavor as it tasted like a normal mocha. The coffee cake latte was good but really sweet toward the end. Cute and trendy spot with lots of people ! A good quick grab for anyone in town. I appreciate the decent sizing. Parking is tough because it's in downtown. Overall a god local spot.

Tiramisu lattes, BSC latte (far right) and coffee cake
Elisa L.

Came here when visiting a friend in Temecula since she talks highly about this place. They were pretty busy when we came on a later Saturday afternoon. It took around 10 mins to order and another 10 mins for the drinks to come out. We ordered the tiramisu latte and BSC (brown sugar caramel) latte. Both drinks were decent and not overly sweet. I enjoyed the BSC more as it was sweeter and had more flavor. The espresso was strong and good quality but had a slight nutty aftertaste which I wasn't a super big fan of. We also tried the coffee cake which was tasty, not dry and nicely sweet. Indoor and outdoor seating were full when we arrived but we were able to get a table shortly after. Since it was packed, it was pretty loud and hard to hear my friends.

I ordered the Belgian Mocha and it was delish! It was a well crafted, balanced drink and the espresso shot was pulled well. I appreciated that all the sauces and syrups were made in house. I also ordered a sea salt, chocolate chip cookie and it was great! You can tell everything is made with love in this cafe. I enjoyed the warm, cozy atmosphere and the staff provided great service.

Tiramisu lattes ($7.30 with oat milk) and BSC ($7.10 with oat milk)
Allison L.

Came here with some friends since one raves about the tiramisu latte! It was pretty bustling considering it was a Saturday afternoon. Waited around 10 mins to order and another 10 mins for our drinks. We all got the tiramisu latte and one BSC (brown sugar caramel) latte. I'm not a huge coffee person so they were pretty strong for me but I could taste the quality of the espresso. I would've liked the tiramisu latte to be a little sweeter, but the BSC was sweeter and flavorful. Seating was full but we luckily snagged a table. Drinks were around $7 each with oat milk, which is decent for the size. We found free street parking a few blocks away

The Press Espresso is a very chic and charming coffee shop. They have lots of food options as well as a lengthy drink menu. I ordered a pink flamingo tea latte and it was AMAZING! Not too sweet, not too bland, it was perfect and the color was stunning. My friend ordered the matcha tea latte and it didn't quite meet her expectations. Not enough matcha, way too much milk. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be back for that flamingo tea.

Really lovely coffee shop with lots to choose from. The decor is bright and cooling after a hot day in the sun. Service was excellent and they were able to tweak an order for me.

Love the atmosphere of this cafe! Cozy and quaint which makes it perfect to grab a coffee and read a book. They have an assortment of pastries and food to choose from. The service is super friendly and kind too. I got a Lemon Poppyseed cupcake that was decorated with cute guava star on top. Overall, a gem of a coffee shop in Old Town Temecula and would visit again!

Keith C.

Popped in here for a quick hot latte with 2% and was very satisfied. The ambiance is very relaxed and the staff were friendly & quick. Another go-to coffee shop I can add to my list.

Banana Foster Iced Latte (made with oat milk)
Miguel G.

I stopped by The Press Espresso in Temecula yesterday and tried the Banana Foster Iced Latte, and wow--it was so good. The banana and caramel flavors really shined without being overpowering, which I loved. It still had a strong, smooth coffee flavor, and you can definitely tell they use high-quality beans. I'll probably be dreaming about this latte for a while and will definitely be back to try more drinks.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Batter Up Bakery…read more I'm a wedding planner with over a decade of experience, and I have truly seen it all... but this was a first. Due to a major mistake on the venue's end, our couple's wedding cake was served to a different event the day before the wedding. Yes... the entire cake was gone. We were left without a cake for the bride and groom to cut on their wedding day, and with very little time to fix it. Enter Batter Up Bakery... and they absolutely saved the day. From the very first interaction, Samantha at the front counter was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful. Selena, the decorator, did an unbelievable job recreating the cake exactly as originally designed. And Jim, the owner who handled delivery, was professional, communicative, and ensured everything arrived perfectly. They stepped in quickly and created a replacement cake that looked identical to what the couple originally ordered. Not only was it visually perfect, but it was also delicious. The entire process was seamless and handled with such care. The most incredible part? The bride had no idea anything had gone wrong until after the wedding. Everything felt flawless, and that is exactly what you hope for as a planner. In all my years in the industry, I have never experienced customer service like this. Batter Up turned what could have been a disaster into a perfect moment. I will be recommending them to every single one of my future couples. Truly phenomenal service, talent, and professionalism.

Further in, there's bar seating and a couple tables. Most of the tables are outside in their patio. The space has a very modern feel with a wine and draft beer list along with coffee bar options. On a Friday lunch rush (11:30am), there were quite a bit of people already sitting and eating. I ordered the hatch chile honey chicken sandwich ($16.32 after tax). Holy smokes, it was delicious! The baked pretzel bun was unlike any I've had before. Buttery and pillowy on the inside and a crisp exterior. The chicken was perfectly cooked and paired well with the chili honey, which was perfectly balanced without being too sweet or too spicy. The grilled onions added extra sweetness and richness that contrasted nicely with the fresh tomato, avocado, and lettuce. Together, it made the perfect sandwich! Definitely a spot worth checking out. The food tasted high quality, and I'll absolutely stop by again when I'm back in town.

I went with the Vanilla Bean Sea Salt Scone, and it was delicious. They warmed it up for me, and for being gluten-free, it was surprisingly soft, moist, and full of flavor. If you have celiac disease like I do, I would consider this more gluten-friendly than celiac-safe. The gluten-free scones were displayed next to the vegan scones. They weren't touching and were spaced apart, but there is still a possibility of cross-contamination. The staff wore gloves when handling the pastries and seemed to take the proper precautions. They were very upfront about their food handling practices, answered all of my questions, and provided excellent customer service. The café itself was very clean, beautifully designed, and had a welcoming atmosphere. I originally wanted to order the Fruity Pebbles Matcha, which was a limited-time spring drink. Unfortunately, they couldn't make it with oat milk because the Fruity Pebbles mixture was already premade with whole milk. Instead, I ordered the Brown Butter Toffee Latte with oat milk. I got the 12 oz because I wasn't sure I'd finish it, but honestly, I should have ordered the larger size. It was that good. The flavor was rich without being overly sweet, which I really appreciated since I don't usually enjoy overly sugary drinks. My brother ordered the Peach Bellini and added a splash of lemonade. He let me try it, and it was incredibly refreshing. The peach flavor came through nicely without being overpowering, and the balance between the peach puree, black tea, and lemonade was just right. He also ordered a brioche tart topped with raspberries, blackberries, and vanilla custard, which he said was fluffy, flavorful, and delicious. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area for another Brown Butter Toffee Latte and gluten-free scone. Just a little disclaimer from someone who's still pretty new to navigating celiac disease: I'm still learning what works best for me and what risks I'm personally comfortable taking. While I understand there is always a possibility of cross-contamination in a shared facility, I also know that living with celiac and multiple food allergies can feel very limiting at times. For me, seeing a business be transparent, answer questions honestly, and take reasonable precautions helps me make an informed decision. Everyone's comfort level and sensitivity is different, so if you have celiac disease, please use your own judgment and do what feels safest for you.
