Crave Coffee & Tea — Restaurant in Temecula

I came here one time about a month ago and the lady working here helped me to pick out a coffee. She recommended a banana brown sugar latte. I kid you not I get it every week now. The girls that work here are silly, fun, and so so kind. They always have a bright smile on their face and are willing to do whatever it takes to get you what you want and make you smile at the same time. The atmosphere here is like a fun family gathering at thanksgiving filled with pure love and giggles. I love sitting here seeing the girls here laugh together and create the BEST coffee I’ve ever tasted. This place is the definition of home, happiness, peace, and laughter. I come here a lot when I’m having a bad day and every time I leave feeling better. I hope the owner of this store knows how good they did. If you are thinking about trying this place I highly recommend it’s the best coffee...

I'm making this review to remind myself not to come here for coffee. I've been here three times, and they only had one barista during busy morning times (7am-8am). Sometimes, they will have two baristas, but the sense of urgency is so low that they could probably output the same capacity with one person.

I took it anyway because the line was getting long, and I knew she was stressed by herself, I would be too.

Probably a total of 8 table tops.

The refreshment and food display was lacking and little pastry options...

When trying a coffee shop for the first time, my expectations are low. The first drink I always order is a black drip coffee. Usually, if drip is even available, it's warm, if lucky, 'cause it's been sitting for hours--yuck!! If no drip at all, why? No customers? Bean not good? So, getting a hot cup in hand was a great start. Service was quick, that's good too. But, the first sip, shocked me! ...so much so that it put a smile on my heart and face. Excellent! The house coffee, is excellent! The house coffee is on the darker side, but not overwhelming. Is rich, has good body, robust but smooth to the last drop. If you are a light roast lover, like me, not to worry, the house coffee is worth the venture to the...
