Earvin F.

Whoa! Definitely glad we decided to swing/stop by this place on the way home from San Diego. Csaba was so friendly and you can tell he enjoys/takes pride of his business. Ambiance is warm and welcoming. Csaba mentioned he rotates his gelato flavors on a regular basis. The chimney cake was warm and flavor hit the spot. The chocolate gelato was rich. The cantaloupe and cucumber gelato was refreshing and not overwhelming sweet. Definitely would recommend supporting Csaba's local business. Don't want to miss this place when in the area.

Great hospitality from the owner and delicious gelato!! Would come back again! Great selection of flavors.

I sampled a few flavors, including mint chocolate chip, peanut butter, and cucumber. The cucumber was definitely interesting and not something I've seen before, but it wasn't for me. The mint chocolate chip tasted different from the traditional version and I didn't notice any chocolate chips, so I ended up ordering a scoop of the peanut butter in a cup, which tasted just like peanut butter. The gelato wasn't as creamy as I personally prefer, but it was still pretty good overall. Service was okay.

I love this place! The gelato is always so amazing and fresh tasting. The owner is always so sweet and welcoming when you enter. One of my favorite places to go since moving here!

What. A. Gem. NON gmo, no funky colors, organic caramelized sugar pastry cones. It's so hard to find real food and this place delivers. The gelato was so dense and creamy. Had the pear with salted caramel and I would eat it 104838294838838 more times.

Hibiscus, banana, sea salt caramel, lemon, chocolate and we also had a oreo chimney cake, all delicious!

Amazing Gelato and service! The flavors are rich and amazing. The owner is friendly, welcoming, and kind. The flavors change regularly, today some of my favorites were walnut, honey lavender, lemon, mango, sea salt caramel, and chocolate. The honey lavender won my heart! It's a quaint shop, cozy home feeling, and owner is very nice.

Wow! I am not an ice cream person but I am officially a gelato one! I never realized how much bold flavor gelato has but it is not overwhelming sweet. Also it is very velvety smooth.The cinnamon sugar cone was perfect. This little hidden gem was a great find. The owner is funny and great hospitality. He was very knowledgeable and took pride in his homemade gelato. He explained how he uses fresh and top quality ingredients and you can definitely taste it for sure! 10/10 recommend! definitely coming back to try more flavors.

Hidden among many businesses is this "unique" pastry place. There is a wide variety of gelato flavors all with the perfect texture. Their unique chimney cone, is what makes it special. The owner has a great sense of humor and is super friendly. I love the family feel of this shop. It's small, but very homey and pleasant. I will no doubt, return here.

Amazzzzzzzing gelato!! We tried almost all of the flavors. The lady at the counter was super nice and told us about the gelato and the chimney cones, she was so nice. The food was fabulous!! Each of us got a different flavor, and loved them all. The flavors change every other day, so, come by and try them. I didn't get a chance to try to try the coffee or hot cocoa, but I'm pretty confident they are good too. The others that were in the shop, seemed very happy with their selection. There are 10 seats inside at super cute tables and some tables and chairs outside. It's cute and comfortable. Stop here, enjoy the sweets and support this lovely local spot.

We ended our birthday celebration with a refreshing Gelato... coconut, scotch, watermelon and pineapple. The owner was engaging and funny making for an overall great visit. Beautiful little shop tucked away with tantalizing treats to share.

Joy J.

Pleasantly surprised stopping in here for the first time! I wanted to try their chimney cake and gelato, and it was quite the experience! The owner, Csaba, is super nice. He was friendly from the beginning and gave me and my friend a few flavors to sample. They were reeeeeeally good!! Definitely unique as the name of the establishment states! I love that the flavors are freshly made daily, and you won't find them anywhere else. I was surprised that I liked the Orange Basil and Cucumber, as those are pretty odd flavors for Gelato! I chose a scoop of each for my Golden Glaze Chimney Cake, and I handled the thing like a champ! Some people may say it's "too bready," but I thought the Gelato-Cake ratio was on point. Prices are higher than average, but you can't help inflation, and you are 100% paying for quality. The place is clean and inviting, although it is a bit warm when you step inside. There's a few tables and a couch inside, but they also have a small patio out front. Parking isn't a problem here at all, but it could get a little cramped during the week. I highly recommend this place for a UNIQUE sweet treat if you're in the area and you don't want what you usually get. ;) Next time I'll have to try a panini!

Ever since Gelato Italia closed in Temecula I've been looking for a new gelato place. Luckily enough I saw an ad for the Unique Pastry Factory on Instagram and was intrigued immediately. I stopped by on my lunch break (for my first time) and was greeted by a very passionate and friendly owner. He explained to me which options were vegan, and which ones were not. He has a wide variety of exquisite flavors of gelato for all preferences. Whether it's a rough day and you need a whiskey cream gelato, or you're looking for something subtle and you're in love with the avocado lemon, all flavors are outstanding. It has a rustic Italian feel, that feels very natural and homey, similar to the gelato shops I've visited Italy. read more

Served fresh and hot upon order in sweet and savory flavors. They are soooo good!! Also on their menu is Illy coffe, paninis, smoothies and other drinks.

Just discovered this new gelato spot. They make their gelatonin in house using organic ingredients. They change up their flavors every 3 days so you always get someone new. They also offer chimney pastries to stuff with gelato. The ice cream is creamy and light. I loved their Charcoal Vanilla! They also had interesting flavors like Hibiscus with basil and it was really good. The chimney cone was a bit too well done but it could be an off time. Overall very good! read more

This is the third time we visited from San Diego to this ice cream spot. We visited because we enjoyed the Gelato but to our surprise we were disappointed with the owner. We were a group of 5 people and we were tasting the ice cream flavors and barely had tasted 5 or 6 of them in total and he's was like no more tasting. We were shocked because he just let us taste 1 flavor per person. He was very rude. Also, he was running a scam where he had given us a reward card where you get a free ice cream after the 5th purchase and we had 2 stamps already and this time when we went to get out 3rd stamp he randomly made a rule that you need to buy at least 3 scoops per person. Even though me and my wife had bought 2 and 1 scoops per person he was like - "you need to buy 3 scoops per person". No where in the card this rule was written and never was this ever mentioned to us before. We had gotten our stamps earlier with just 2 scoops and now he changed the rule and is not honoring the system. When we asked him about it, he rudely responded that " I'm the owner and I printed the card". We were shocked and baffled by his response. Disappointing place and please don't go here. PS- we drove 60 mins from San Diego just to come here to feel disappointed. We will make sure none of our friends visit this place again. read more

I got pralines and cream and cookies and cream for my two scoops and had peanut butter sauce added. That was perfect serving, and I enjoyed it a lot. Inside is cool, and there is ample space to sit down and relax, so I took my time relishing the flavors of childhood. The workers get through the line pretty fast, but I wouldn't be in such a hurry to hang out anyway. Enjoy if you go!

After seating, I ordered a glass of their signature Cabernet Sauvignon and the Fromagé plate, which was presented shortly afterwards. The fromagé plate had a variety of cheeses, seedless red grapes, dried apricots, fig preserve spread and additionally a plate of bread... perfect for sharing or not. The saxophone player played contemporary music which was all entertaining as I noshed and sipped vino. Their signature Cabernet Sauvignon was quiet lovely; aroma and depth of flavors was perfect with the fromagé ...love!! After the lunch, a stroll around the grounds to see more vineyards, felt the breeze on a hot day was nice. Inside the gift shop there was so much to peruse through, but some of the stuff will definitely get a giggle out of you. There's an art gallery connected to the main building. I wouldn't call it an art gallery but many walls were dedicated to showcasing local artists work depicting the Temecula Valley lifestyle. In the same room is the wine tasting bar and most of the people inside the art gallery seemed to be more interested in wine tasting than the art lol This was my second time visiting, both times, I had a great first impression and last impression from the ambiance, food and service. Service from the staff members were all courteous, helpful and just wonderful, All was amazing, Cheers!!Recommend

The place has a selection of gelato flavors, which rotate regularly, making it difficult to know if your favorites will be available prior to going. A difficult thing to navigate with kids who have set preferences. The gelato itself is rather pleasing, with a few icy bites that, while slightly less than ideal, do not detract from the overall experience. Each spoonful delivers a satisfying taste, even if it doesn't quite reach the pinnacle of gelato perfection. If I may offer a gentle critique: the chimney cone left a lot to be desired. Although the concept itself is intriguing, the execution proved somewhat underwhelming. The cone seemed to lack that fresh made quality one might expect, with a texture and flavor reminiscent of a day old pastry. Considering the premium price point, this was somewhat disappointing. As for the ambiance, the place could benefit from a few enhancements. The dim lighting, quiet atmosphere, and absence of fellow customers created an experience that was somewhat awkward and not particularly inviting for a leisurely in store experience. The service was adequate, though not exceptionally memorable. Overall, this place offers a unique adventure with a few areas for improvement. read more

This place is amazing! The owner and creator of all the gelato uses all European ingredients in everything he makes. He rotates the unique homemade flavors each week, so you're bound to try something new each time you visit. The "chimneys" or Hungarian-style cones of baked bread are to DIE for, try one as an ice cream cone or eat it on the side while enjoying some gelato! They come just as they are or rolled in cinnamon sugar (definitely recommend). All gelato fruit flavors are DAIRY FREE, while the creamy flavors are made with 2% milk. This place also has some great looking espresso drinks made with Illy products (Italian espresso). Their are also a variety of other foods/dishes available, as well as smoothies. The owner is very inviting and will let you taste any flavor of gelato! I posted a photo of the "cookies" gelato with one of the bread cones rolled in sugar. read more

Best gelato ever! This was the perfect find for our first night in Temecula. It's a popular spot but the line moves quickly, and the cashier named Niki was the sweetest angel! Y'all need to give her a raise because she is so friendly. I got the small, which comes with 2 scoops, and my boyfriend got the 3 scoop medium. The small was plenty big for me because they're generous with servings. I got the mint chocolate chip and stracciatella, both of which were divine. The mint tasted like the actual herb, not like the processed kind you typically get at ice cream parlors. It was perfect. The stracciatella is also perfect and the best I've had. My boyfriend went with the fruit flavors, strawberry and lemon. I definitely recommend this spot and I'll absolutely be back! read more

We Love this little Mom& Pop Gelato shop, The Owners are so nice , customer service is always great ! They're so passionate about their business, the owner Csaba makes the Gelato every day fresh, they offer 16 different unique flavors of Gelato to choose from and they change the flavors ! The Orange basil, Avocado lemon and the Mojito is my favorite so far , we also tried the Hungarian golden glazed Chimney cake ,the texture of the outside is crunchy with a caramelized sugar, but the inside is a soft pastry ,so delicious ! Also I just want everyone to know ,they are following the Covid-19 safety guideline, they have hands sanitizer every tables, and every one has mask on! Every one needs to visit this amazing little Italy, and Hungary, so cute and cozy inside! read more

We have been to this place several times and always loved it. Covid-19 has kept us away and we miss d it. We were in the area and were afraid they would be another casualty to Covid. They are kind of away from things to draw you into their little storefront but they are worth it. We were surprised to arrive and see such a crowd but happy to see them doing well. Again their product is amazing and hand made daily. Their story is great to hear and know so ask. They are exactly what the name is, Unique, and we love it. We only go for the gelato but the paninis do look good and we should try them soon. Check out the chimney cones that are hand made right in front of you and again Unique. read more

I had an absolutely delightful experience at this gelato and sandwich spot! The sandwiches are crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and just the right amount of creativity to make every bite exciting. The bread is toasted to perfection, and the fillings are generous without being overwhelming. As for the gelato--wow! Creamy, rich, and bursting with authentic flavors, it's clear they use top-notch ingredients. I tried the pistachio and dark chocolate, and both were divine. The staff was friendly, the vibe was cozy, and the service was quick. This place is a gem for anyone craving a delicious sandwich or a sweet treat. Can't wait to come back! read more

Unique Pastry is an incredible place to have the best gelato ever, there's all different flavors. The Chimney cakes are a bonus! It takes me back to being in Budapest. When my daughter saw that they have Kutos Kalaczs/Chimney Cakes she was sooooo excited and only wants to eat there! Also, the husband and wife team are such sweet people, they are always happy to see us when we come in for gelato. The establishment is very nice and if you are ever in the Temecula/Murrieta area, I recommend you stop by and taste their delicious gelatos, you will not be disappointed, I can promise you that! read more
