3 Best Local Coffee Shops in Temecula Valley

When I'm working remotely or out doing showings, sometimes I crave to sit in a relaxing coffee shop to enjoy a beverage while I'm working. Luckily, the Temecula valley area boasts tons of quality coffee shops with great drinks and chill atmospheres. Here are my three favorite Temecula Valley Coffee Shops.

Intazza Coffee Works

Located off of Sky Canyon Drive and Murrieta Hot Springs, this gem opened in 2017 after operating as a commercial roaster beginning in 2005. The store itself is massive, it's a wide open 2 story room with plenty of seating for various different social settings. The first floor is generally a social area, the second story is quieter for those looking to get some work done or read, or you can step put onto the patio to get some fresh air while enjoying your coffee.

One way Intazza stands out from other local Temecula valley coffee shops is they source and roast their own beans in house, ensuring that they can control the quality of their product. According to reviews, the most popular items seem to be the white mocha latte, iced matcha, avocado toast and breakfast burrito

The Press Espresso

The Press Espresso has six locations scattered across Temecula and Murrieta, and they make some of my favorite coffee in town. Founded by the husband and wife duo DeShun and Yasmine, they opened their first location in Old Town Temecula back in 2015.

The shop offers many unique lattes, my favorites being the tiramisu latte and coffee latte. Other popular drinks include the iced thai coconut espresso, americano, coco puff latte and the bee latte.

Little Goat Kitchen and Bakeshop

Little Goat is a bakery owned by the owners of Goat and Vine, a very popular restaurant among Temecula locals, which serves a wide selection of pastries, sandwiches, pizzas, salads and some coffee. Though the focus of the shop isn't necessarily on coffee, it's still a great place to enjoy a hot or iced beverage, especially for those who like to pair a pastry with their drink. If you plan to visit, expect a crowd as it's become very popular among locals.

Customer favorite items include the iced americano, iced matcha, cherry mocha, the croissant and any of their sandwiches.
