Oak Grove Culinary Creations is awesome. This is such a great little spot that is tucked away. You are really surprised how nice it is when you walk in. It has a very upscale and refined feel, and the ambiance is wonderful. There was a lot of thought that went into the layout and function when it was built. For being such a quaint and small place there is tons of seating. The entire space feels meticulously cared for. There is a bit of art that is hanging about to enjoy while you have a snack and coffee.
The food and snacks are wonderful. They are all presented in a display where you walk up to order. They have cookies, croissants, cakes, tarts, chocolates, bars, cupcakes, and more. This place is a destination all by itself. There is such a variety of delectable flavors compared to a lot of bakeries, pâtisseries, confectioneries, and pastry shops. They also have a great espresso and coffee menu, and plenty of other drinks for the non-coffee drinkers available.
The staff was wonderful and welcoming. All of them were exceptionally nice. There is a restroom for customers. I will say that parking can be a bit challenging if it is a busy time on the weekend. There is plenty of parking nearby, but parking right in front of the store is limited. There is a large and free parking garage a block away, some street parking, and a small parking lot...
Read moreA little pricey but excellent. You definitely get what you pay for here. Coffee, cold brew, teas or whatever beverage you choose is carefully crafted. This is definitely not your drive thru Starbucks, Coffee Bean or the like. The drinks are nothing but exceptional and they have many customizations. The pastries are phenomenal. From the looks alone you can tell whoever made it really enjoys their craft. The first time I visited was pre-COVID. The main reason I go back every Temecula visit is, I recall seeing a little donations box at the end. I read it and asked the cashier about it. Te donation was for Vocational Training Program for at-risk and special needs youth. I asked how much we t to it, the clerk said 100%. Then explained how the program provides culinary skills, customer service and hospitality training for the youths. I was fortunate to not having fallen down that path but joined the Army instead. Programs like this really get to me and hit some sometimes as not all my friends were as fortunate. Anything small I can do to assist youths in being good citizens and a chance at life I'm all for it. Highly...
Read moreI recently got married and chose Oak Grove Culinary Creations as our dessert vendor, and I couldn’t be happier with that decision. They were recommended to me by my wedding coordinator, and we had such an incredible experience working with their team from start to finish.
I had a set budget, and they did an excellent job accommodating all of our requests without compromising on quality or presentation. Emily and Alexis were fantastic to work with great communicators who made sure our vision came to life exactly as we imagined.
We decided on a dessert bar and a small cake, and they even provided thoughtful vegan options for a few of our guests. We received so many compliments on the dessert bar, and it was such a joy watching everyone enjoy the treats.
Not only did Oak Grove deliver beautifully on our wedding day, but we also loved visiting their bakery during our planning trips. Every dessert we sampled was absolutely delicious. I would confidently rate them a 10/10 and highly recommend their services to any couple looking for a talented, reliable, and kind...
