Deep Dive

A deep dive into E.A.T Marketplace

Before I rant, I should say how good the food was, but I was a bit upset. Steak was large for a $20 breakfast ribeye, and tasted like one... The other stuff was organic and fresh. Hot chocolate was delicious. I wish I got a picture of the pancake stack before my hungry kids dug into it. Waitress and cook staff was quick and helpful. Unfortunately... We caught this place on a very busy Small-Business-Saturday (as you can see in one of the photos). There were two hostesses, one was walking around talking about raffle tickets (and that's about all she was doing), and the other was busy taking names, cleaning tables, and trying to please waiting parties--by herself. We were told that it would be a half hour wait, went back in to check where we were on the list after 45 mins to find we would be called as soon as the next 4person table was free, but waited another twenty mins with two young kids because the people (people that arrived AFTER us with the same size party and all adults) who complained about the wait got seated first, which I don't understand... They should have told them to wait their turn and, if they didn't like it, they could go somewhere else to eat. It's not like they were losing any business that day and at least the patient people would have been served sooner. Instead, they have at least one family who won't likely be back when a restaurant like Penfolds is in walking distance and has management who at least appears to care. If a manager was present at EAT, I couldn't tell who it was because we never saw anyone take charge or help the poor lone hostess who somehow maintained a smile while serving angry customers. All in all, the food was great. The wait staff was great. Even one of the hostesses was great. Management should have stepped up the game a little, especially because they knew it would be busy (they decorated with Small Business Saturdat balloons&banners). Sucks that we won't be back due to their need to assist inconsiderate customers first because it was actually good food.

Wow, this was so fresh and delicious! I work out in the field doing Environmental Sustainability Audits and I was going to pick up lunch from the other common places, but on February 9th, I decided to take a risk to try this place. I let the cashier know it was my first time and I was feeling like a sandwich like a BLT, she recommended one and I asked for the light sauce since it was going to be my first time trying the sandwich. I also asked about the cheese because the name didn't seem like I have tried it before. She said it was really good so I took her word. I paid extra for the Sicily Salad, and I believe the owner or manager gave me the house salad and the dressing to try as extra. When they handed my order she let me know they wanted me to have the other salad too so I can try it. Wow, again this place went above for me. While I waited for my food, I went to the other side to order a refresher. I noticed the cashier was preparing more teas or refreshers. This made me feel that everything is organic and properly done. I ordered a Berry and Strawberry Refresher. It was not sweet and they put huge Strawberries and enough Blueberries inside. Let me go back to the food, the sandwich was BOMB, the bread soft and it had Avocado, bacon, and just everything else that made me appreciate the freshness and quality. I plan to go back to take my sister-in-law after one of our hikes. I have to add that they had a ding dong and a few other pastries that caught my eye. The atmosphere inside is welcoming and very unique. Thank you to those who helped me and gave me an awesome first-time experience! Plus for taking pride in sustainability and local foods.

I love what Eat Marketplace has to offer; they strongly believe in the farm to table concept. They serve quality meats such as; grass-fed beef from Eel River from northern California, Smart Chicken which is 100% GMO free, Pork from Beeler’s in Iowa and many more. I can sit here and go on and on about how amazing they are and how thankful I was to be able to speak to Carissa during my visit but I really want to share who they are, (found this on their website) “The roots of the EAT story are entrenched in childhood memories of gathering around the table, connecting & sharing good food. Scratch cooking with ingredients that are not doused in chemicals, utilizing animal proteins that are clean, hormone & antibiotic free- as well as being raised in a CARING and ETHICAL environment. Food is not cheap- nor do we believe it should be valued as such. From those that grow, pick, deliver, prep, cook to the valuable humans who wash up after all of us. A fair & livable wage is worth the price of what we assess on a plate of food. We value you – our guests, our team, vendors, regenerative farmers and the right to VOTE with our fork. Having the opportunity to make powerful buying decisions- by supporting the families we do, is at the heart of our mission.” Ordered MUCHAS GRACIAS gf - local ‘pastured bird’ roasted chicken, organic brown rice, cuban blk beans, crispy yams, cucumber, seasonal tomato, fontina cheese, salad mix up, cilantro lime sauce Monday special which was not on the menu but on a black board. Tomato Bisque with toasted sourdough – We were told this is dairy free and that they use coconut milk

Ended up here for brunch on a Sunday... the service was rather slow and felt ignored overall by our server. The food was good tasting but was VERY expensive for portion size and spent nearly $50 on breakfast for two people. Overall I was not very impressed and will not be going back. The price point for everything was just a bit too high and was annoyed by the $3 charge to add a few strips of bacon to a dish. edits in I can't figure out how to reply to the owner's response below so I'm clarifying some things in an edit - I stick by my 3/5 rating still. Yes, the food was good - it was a solid 4/5 for percieved freshness and flavor BUT the wait staff experience was a 2/5. I averaged the experiences to give the original 3/5 rating. The comment about the price of adding bacon was because comments like that are valuable to me as a reviewer and think it could be useful to others. This isn't about a side of bacon however. While I greatly respect the owners comments about living wages and wholeheartedly support this mission, I wish it had been communicated better to myself as I was a first time visitor of the restaurant. I might have had different expectations of the whole dining experience if I had been able to fully conceptualize why the prices are listed as they are currently. I do acknowledge that some of the partnering farms were listed on part of the menu but would have liked a more active explanation in case I skimmed passed something important.

TLDR EAT Marketplace in Old Town Temecula is a charming spot with delicious pastries and a solid menu. Tip: There are two lines--one for pastries and to-go items, and another for food from the menu. My wife and I enjoyed a Sunday breakfast at EAT Marketplace, a cute and vibrant eatery located at the start of Old Town Temecula. This spot offers a tempting selection of pastries along with a fantastic food menu. We started by getting a bacon and cheese egg biscuit and a maple and pecan doughnut from the to-go line. Both were great, but the standout was the ABC bagel sandwich that we ordered from the food line. The toasty bread and high-quality ingredients made it our favorite, though we wished we had some hot sauce to pair with it. The maple and pecan doughnut was just the right amount of sweet, with the pecans adding a delightful crunch. We also appreciated the ample indoor and outdoor seating. Even though it was busy on a Sunday morning, we were lucky enough to grab a table outside and enjoy the views of Old Town Temecula. Overall, a great breakfast experience with good food, a lively atmosphere, and plenty of seating options.
