I discovered this place via Yelp and have returned ever since. This gelato is fresh and you can definitely taste it's amazing quality! The pricing is very reasonable for homemade gelato. I got a small (2 scoops) for around $5 - not bad at all! I recommend the mango, strawberry, and pineapple paired with refreshing rose. My friends and I always leave with a smile and pleased tastebuds :) read more

Had seen their sign on Jefferson for some time now and finally decided on stopping by. Very cute gelato place. Owner was sweet and helpful. Allowed us to choose as many flavors we liked. Everything was so delicious. So refreshing. Nothing too sweet or over powering. I paired the pineapple and avolemon. Perfect combination of sweet and sour. And my daughter ordered medium with three scoops, chocolate, cookies and chocolate chip. Not kidding u, it tastes like chocolate cake read more

It's almost impossible to find kurtoskalacs/chimney cakes, so I'm glad this isn't too far! Very friendly owners. They bake the chimney cakes upon order so it's nice & fresh. They also make their own gelato! read more

Found this place on my visit to Temecula. We went for the chimney cake that we tried in Hungary. The owner helped us and started explaining the cake and he was from Hungary. We waited for it to be baked and he had us sample his wonderful Gelato . We had a great experience. read more

Perfection :) oh my! His gelato is the best and the chimney cake is just so good. He is also such a sweet man! He let my kids try all the flavor he got before finally deciding which one... inside is very cute and clean... read more

Apparently the owner likes calling his customers an ahole in hungary. Like I said I've been here a few times and the product is great but that's kinda rude I guess lol read more

Unique Pastry Factory - We came later but the last of the gelato flavors! - Gelato Near Me - Temecula, California

My Husband, Son and I stopped by the Unique Pastry Factory today . The owner is one of the nicest people imaginable, and takes immense pride in his craft. He should! We were encouraged to sample many flavors. My son had the Pineapple Gelato on the Matcha cone. My Husband and I had the Mint Chip on the dark chocolate cones. The BEST mint chip ANYTHING I have ever had! The mint flavor just sparkles and all of the gelato is smooth and brilliantly flavored. We plan to go back in a few days to try the paninis and coffee as well. If you haven't been, GO! It is DELICIOUS. The only problem is all the flavors are so wonderful, it is hard to decide amongst them!! FIVE STARS! We'll update with photos next time. read more

The 5 stars on Yelp really reflects the quality gelatos this place makes! Everything is freshly made in house. I found out Unique Pastry through a Yelp suggestion when I was looking up new dessert places. The flavors are unique and you can sample as many as you like! The owner was so nice and encouraged us to try all of the gelato flavors they offer. Everything is made from scratch and you can taste the difference. They also offer chimney cake, which is a lightly sweetened bread you can get your gelatos in. I got a small double scoop ($5) with peach and pineapple flavor. My BF got the pineapple and pomegranate. I usually like both fruity and milky gelatos. The consistency here is so creamy and soft. It melts right in your mouth! It's a cozy and comfortable stop to stop by for some dessert. I like how they have a lot of flavors and they do switch up weekly. If you have a sweet tooth, check it out! read more

I came with my family to taste and we found all really good! The gelato is made there with organic ingredients. We tasted several flavors and all were delicious. We tried the kürtőskalács and we loved them too. The staff was very friendly. The owner showed me other gelato flavors that he had in queue for tomorrow. They also have great coffee and sandwiches. The place was very clean and organized. We will certainly be back to enjoy new flavors. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Owner was very friendly, told us that flavors changes every week and that they were made at the store every day. Inside the store is very clean and outdoor seating is available as well. Went there twice while we were in town! read more

Wow...just wow!! From the gelato to the Panini's, so glad we made a little to this shop before heading home. The owner was so nice and friendly and encouraged us to try many different flavors before we finally decided on which ones we wanted. My sister ended taking two scoops one of watermelon and one of orange basil, I know weird right. But it was actually very refreshing and it wasn't to overpowering with the taste of basil, you could taste it but then that orange flavor would kick in it was good. I got three scoops a coffee, exotic and a cherry flavor. The coffee one tasted like a straight up espresso shot my goodness that was heaven. (sorry we're kinda coffee freaks lol) I don't know how to explain the exotic one but it sure was delicious, and well cherry doesn't need and explanation even though usually that's a favorite but dude the coffee and exotic beat it this time. So we did try the Hungarian King and the Turkey Panini as well, pretty good sandwiches. Gotta give the man credit he's here by himself serving up the gelato and making the paninis on the side. Plus they make their own sausages nice. We would definitely come back prices aren't bad for the freshness and quality of the food. read more

This place was good. I can only speak for the gelato, because that's all I've tried! The pastry cones look delicious also. It was tasty and unique, and it's nice to have some more cultured desserts in town! It was good, but I honestly expected a little better, if I'm being truthful. Also, they put a limit on samples and don't tell you how many beforehand. I felt like the server was a little rough around the edges and not super friendly (though he was certainly informative), but that could be a cultural thing read more

I wish I would have taken pictures but we ate our treats faster than I could remember! My in laws are in town from out of state and we were looking for a dessert spot after dinner. This place did not disappoint! Little did we know that we would get to meet the owner AND the person who makes this delicious ice cream/gelato! The flavors are unlike anything we've ever tasted and we're travelers. The service was fast and there was a line. We were greeted warmly and as first timer the young woman explained the pastry and all the choices we had. The ambiance definitely captivated a little bistro feel and it was cozy. We sat outside on the patio area and enjoyed our treats. Definitely will be back! Fun fact! The owner changes out the flavors daily! Hard to say what you will get from one day to another! It's exciting! read more

How have I not heard of this place before?? It was the last day of our carpool and we wanted to celebrate with some dessert. This place came up in my Yelp search and we thought, "hey, gelato sounds good!" I never would have known about this place just from driving by. You have to know it's there. It's in a shopping center off of Overland and Jefferson so there is plenty of parking. I wasn't sure what to expect walking in there. The giant Hungarian guy behind the counter turned out to be the owner and he was just so nice! We were only going to ask for a few samples to taste, but he just kept giving us samples of everything! Wow, so generous! And the gelato flavors were so good and different. I ended up getting 2 scoops--one fig and one mecrock. The Fig tasted so much better than I was expecting and the mecrock--I honestly don't know what's in it...maybe some sort of hazelnut??? But it was so good!! The gelatos was not too sweet and you could taste the flavors so well! There was also orange basil, mojito, panna cotta, etc. The flavors also rotate! To top it off, he makes a Hungarian bread called Chimney Cake. We'd never heard of it, but were intrigued. I had to try one. It's basically a sweet bread that's spiraled into a tube and cooked over some sort of grill. It was also very good--not too sweet. You can get it coated with some different toppings like walnut, cinnamon, caramel, etc. We enjoyed this so much, we're telling the rest of our classmates about it!! I think this is going to be my go-to place for gelato...can't wait to go back and try more flavors!! read more

I discovered a new place in Temecula that makes fresh Gelato & Hungarian Chimney Cakes!! The owner was so accommodating and had me try all the flavors - made it hard to decide! The Chimney Cake is a delightful lightly sweetened bread unique made the Hungarian way. Gelato is fresh made everyday with 50 + flavors! He makes from fresh ingredients! The store also serves my favorite European coffee from @illy! Please go check out this place!! Close to the freeway into Temecula and makes a great stop on way to San Diego!! PS they have Vegan Ice Cream ! read more

The gelato was great and the cinnamon cone was delicious. Unfortunately the service was terrible. We were a group of 6. We were asking for samples because we didn't knew the flavors. The lady at the counter got upset and said "hurry up, I don't have all day!". She looked very irritated and upset because we were choosing the flavor we wanted. Because this was our first experience, I may come back just because of the product but the owner should have a talk to the employee who served us because the service was rude and not friendly. If you go, try to be patient with the lady because she will make comments that will make you want to leave as soon as you walk in. We deserve better service Second note: The owner was so rude. He definitely confuse me with other client as I never order chocolate flavor. But well, it's whatever. I was providing my experience to others, that is the purpose of yelping businesses. If the owner can't handle constructive criticism then it's on them. read more

They were affordable and tasty and the people that own the place were friendly. We tried the chimney pastry plain with coconut flakes on it. My husband, my son and I share it. It was yummy. I think I ordered a scoop of gelato but don't remember the flavor. It was pretty good. We really are not gelato fan so I can't be critical about it. Sorry, the review is short because I don't remember much of my experience. It was definitely a positive experience. read more

Cute place with wonderful and unique gelato flavors changing every day. Try the Hungarian tower cakes. They are roasted Hungarian pastries with different toppings like cinnamon sugar and coconut, among others. The cakes are not overly sweet, as a typical European dessert. Try it, it is very yummy! read more

Long story short.. Our line got cut off by a 4 people family after waiting for 15 minutes for the store to open. Above that, the owner kept talking excitingly above those ice cream batches, which no mask!! I can understand now that the mask is optional for fully vaccinated people (and there's nothing to prove who is fully vaccinated), it's very rude and unproper to serve people the ice creams that are covered with spit! **He was giving samples to the family, so the glass was totally OPEN! **Yes, it's GELATO not ICE CREAM, please mention that to YELPto make sure when people try to find an ice cream place store your GELATO store won't show up, because they are so different! **GELATO means ICE CREAM in Italian, educate yourself before open a GELATO store! We are glad that we got cut off, so we are lucky not buying those spit covered ice cream! read more

This is our favorite dessert place ever! The owners are so fun and outgoing, and also very passionate about what they do. The flavors are spot on and so refreshing; they pretty much have you try every flavor so you can taste everything. The experience is always super fun and the owner is always giving us a good laugh. The prices are incredible for the quality and amount that you get. Excited to try their coffee! read more

Such a fun and cool dessert. Never heard of chimney cakes or cones and they are super yummy. Gelato is handmade - fresh. Flavor variety is broad. Had mojito - refreshing! Whiskey cream - sweet and satisfying. Had a taste of Cucumber Gelato - like nothing else and can't wait to come back and have a scoop! The owner is passionate and friendly and quite talented. Brought this as a dessert to a dinner party and it was a huge hit. I learned this is a popular dessert in Hungary and there is a 2-month festival each year - I so want to go! Come check out this spot - you'll be so happy you did. Enjoy! read more

Had a sweet tooth and decided to try a new place. Their ice cream is so delicious and creamy! If you love Gelato ice cream you need to stop here. Their homemade flavors are unique alright. Tried their strawberry flavor ( taste the fresh strawberries), pineapple, dolce de Leche ( had some chocolate curls, very light and perfect sweetness. Had their chimney coconut cone with strawberry cream. Made to order and this is probably my new favorite pastry! Prices are reasonable! We will be back soon! read more

How the word "gelato" didn't make this café's name is as baffling, dazzlingly charming as it's rotating 70+ flavors of Italian ice cream, made daily with the perfect balance of inventive artistry and craft, which ought to be the pride of Hungry and Italy too. Kürtöskalács are a must. UPF is a gem in Temecula, an American success story. read more

Holy cow! We found our place for a sweet treat! The owner was extremely nice and super happy to show us all his flavors. The chimney cone is made from the traditional Hungarian Chimney Pastry. So delicious and soft and makes a perfect cone. The gelato was very creamy and all the unique flavors were really fun to taste! The lavender was my favorite, lemon rosemary packed a punch in the best way. My daughter loved the chocolate and there was a European flavor I can't pronounce or remember how to spell but was a very light, fruity creamy flavor. Out of the 10 flavors we tasted there wasn't one I wouldn't get again!! Definitely try this place out:) read more

This was actually a pretty good gelato and pastry place . They make everything from scratch here.
