The Cupcake & Espresso Bar

I was going out for a nice drink and i was indecisive so i let angie and her coworker with glasses sorry i don’t know her name to suprise me with a drink and it came out OUTSTANDING GIVE THESE GIRLS A RAISE AMAZING WILL BE COMING BACK 🤩

I love this place!! So yummy. I come everytime I’m in town

Stopped in for an iced cold brew and was not disappointed. No burnt taste like some other big franchise coffee shops. There are quite a few drink options, I'm just a coffee flavored coffee kinda gal. Unfortunately, I didn't try any baked goods, but they looked amazing. Lots of options there too. Will be back the next time I am in the area.

Had an issue and ownership made it right. I appreciate that. Drinks are good and the vegan breakfast sandwich was very good.

My go to coffee spot. Great coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. Plenty of seating. Just a comfortable environment to get your work done.

Such a fun place! My family always enjoys grabbing breakfast here. The prices and food quality are better than Starbucks. I recommend the almond croissant. A wide and delicious variety of drinks, pastries, and food to chose from. It is likely you will find something to enjoy. Staff is kind and usually on point. Jesus loves who ever is reading this. He deserves our praise.

I’d come back. The red velvet cupcake I had at this place was A+. Perfect balance of ingredients, and, it was moist when I got there at 5pm! This is one of the few places around that I’d get my red velvet from. I also ordered a cappuccino that was done well with lots of foam. I’m glad it didn’t come out as a latte! Customer service was also great. The gentleman working that day kindly pointed out all the various cupcakes they had out, and the cashier was also a sweetheart. There seems to be good team work at this spot. :)

Go here from time to time, it's consistent and good. Had a bad experience with the drive thru once, I ordered off their seasonal menu that's right next to their regular menu and when I asked for it they said they don't sell that there that they never have?(Not that they ran out just plain didn't sell it) Even after saying it's on their menu they just ignored me. One bad experience wasn't gonna stop me from coming here tho so that should say a lot on its own. Their coffee is great and most of their service too.

Update: we still find this coffee shop to be on consistent on the flavor of their drinks, but seem to have found a couple drinks we gravitate to regularly and are really pleased with those drinks. However, their seasonal drinks tend to have the most issues, even when order 2 of the same drinks they can vary quite drastically from one another. But we do appreciate the service and the atmosphere very much. Some local coffee shops have a real hectic vibe but cupcake & espresso bar has a friendly chill vibe. I recommend the Spanish latte and the salted caramel cold brew and for a treat the pop tarts are fantastic. Edit: The inconsistency continues to plague them. Drinks are made differently by each barista. We will try a new drink and love it, only to order the same drink a day later and hate it. It's too bad. We still come here but find ourselves visiting a different local coffee house more often. Original review: Our biggest irk about this place is their consistency on their espresso drinks. Sometimes the drinks are to die for and other times they have an overwhelmingly bitter burnt taste. I can't tell you how many times we have thrown away our drinks after just one taste. Also, not a fan of their cupcakes (too sweet and too dry) but we love all their other pastry and sweet offerings.

Very good coffee. Order a pastrami sandwich for breakfast to go, and you will be surprised by the burnt taste 👎. Tip: Check before you take it or go to another place that you already know is good.

I use to love this place. Last few times hasn’t been that great. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and started eating it as we drove away. It was cold in the middle. I ended up throwing it out. I didn’t have time to go back. I had also ordered the pumpkin latte and it tasted awful. I normally love them so not sure if something was wrong with the milk. I decided to go back two weeks later and I ordered an iced coffee with soy milk. Typically I love it. The coffee was so bitter it did not taste good. It was my friends first time going with me and she did not like it either. I’m just bummed because it’s normally very good. All I can say is not incidents happened on a Saturday morning. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I normally visit the one in Moreno valley. Which is great. I only recently found out about this one from that shop when I asked if they had another location with a drive thru. I was so happy to find out this one was on the road I take to work. My first few visits were okay. My drinks were not as tasty as they usually are at my usual spot but the drive thru service is fairly quick. But recently I had a bad experience with their take out service. I walked in with my daughter to get a cold brew coffee and a cupcake. Normally they'll hand you your pastry at the counter as you pay. I wasn't handed the cupcake so I figured I'd get it with my coffee. Got my coffee and still, no cupcake. When I asked the employee that was making a drink, he told me to wait and someone else would help me. No one ever came. I finally had to go to the register and ask for it. I don't know if that guy was new, but working in customer service myself, I usually tend to the customers needs right away not pawn them off on someone else.

You get less on food quality for a higher cost and I experience that when I went inside to try out a pumpkin Muffin and based on the picture that they posted outside, kind of looks small for a high cost of $3.85 with taxes for a small muffin. 🙄

Stood in front of the cashier ready to order for about 5 mins before one of the many of employees just straighting up the place decided to take my order. No orders being made nobody in the drive. I've been to other locations packed with customers and was in n out faster then this location.

We have been coming to this place since they opened and we have loved their coffees and sandwiches. But unfortunately this place has gone so down hill. They are so slow, they have made our drinks wrong, our sandwiches have either been rock hard to the point you can't even eat it or cold. The workers are just plain rude half the time, no costumer service skills at all. For the price I pay it's pointless coming back if they are going to keep making the these mistakes. This last coffee stop we ordered a horchata cream cold brew and it was all cream and little to no coffee. Not understanding how hard it is to make a coffee.

Look at this pastrami breakfast sandwich, took one bite and spit it out, absolutely disgusting and smelt horrible, probably old, will never return to this place.

Unfortunately service is disgusting. I’ve been there twice, and both times I’ve been racially profiled. Literally just ordered 2 cupcakes. Waited for 20 minutes patiently. Everybody else that showed up after me got their orders. I went to ask and they told me I only ordered 1. I showed my receipt proving otherwise, and even so I didn’t even get one. Long story short, they gave me an attitude and a refund. And I still left empty handed. Gave them the benefit of the doubt, but they definitely are rude and racist.
