Lorimar Cafe

Where do I begin? Parking: easy! First impression: warm and inviting Staff: Friendly and attentive Menu: lots to choose from! Hard to just pick one. It's one of those, "I really need to come back again to explore all the options".I'm very aware this was just a soft opening, so with that in mind, I always have some grace when it comes to the grand opening as they're all acclimating to the hustle. Now about my dishes. I had the charcuterie board to start. It was a really nice spread! Great starter! Main dishes: I had the shrimp and grits, the Huevos Rancheros, and the ube waffles. 1) Adding/having a perfectly yolky egg can make the dish. I don't know about y'all, but A BIG pet peeve of mine when it comes to any dish that has a yolky egg is when it's OVER COOKED. The eggs in my dish were perfectly cooked! 2) Shrimp: I've eaten at a lot of restaurants where the shrimp was overcooked and Felt rubbery. The shrimp in my shrimp and grits were perfectly cooked! Not to mention; a decent size, with nice portions. The grits were nice and creamy, and the chorizo in the center was a great touch of extra protein! This was probably my favorite dish. 3)The huevos rancheros was a fun dish! It's a very vibrant full of taste type of dish. Having the egg yolk over was chefs kiss! 4)The Ube waffles: the Ube icing ALONE was a nice subtle sweet! I could prob eat that alone! But something to note was the chai maple syrup! All that together with a nice crunch. Yum! Overall, hats off to the chef. This menu is seriously going to be any brunch goers dream! Can't wait to try more!

We stopped by on our way to do a winery p. I love exploring new places and getting out of my comfort zone. So after doing other errands and having a very empty stomach, ended up here. The good: the food was delicious. The flavors were very complimentary and exceeded my expectations. The bad: the wait time from our order being taken to food arriving was far far longer than expected, especially considering how slow it seemed as it was towards the end of their business day. Another group was observed also growing in curiosity as to why it was taking so long to get our meals. It was also odd when another group arrived after we did and got their meal right away, while we waited 20-25 minutes. This was especially odd considering it appeared to be a slower day as well. The in between: the decor inside has a nice relaxing vibe, however the seating of tables does not lend itself towards any expectation of privacy or a subdued atmosphere, as they are put together fairly close to the point where even low talkers can be eaves dropped upon without effort. Overall, it was a good stop but would have been better had the meals not taken so long to arrive at the table.

Palomar Village location extremely accessible including parking.Service very welcoming.Breakfast and lunch has been great without long waits, experienced so far.Omelette options are basic, fluffy but slightly over and needed seasoning. The house potatoes...,crispy, pillowy and delicious.The "Cozy pair" composed of an excellent butternut squash bisque and half a grilled Brie sandwich is delightful. Structural assembly could be improved allowing the enjoyment of the bite.No phone number provided for this location, unfortunately no military discount offered. Lorimar winery membership are welcome and take out was available while running errands. Will return. To date, highly recommend.

A few friends of mine came to try this place out and told me I should give it a try so I did. My sister and I stopped in and upon walking in we noticed a thick scent of paint, probably because it's brand new but at least open up the doors for a day and air the place out.As far as the menu, it seemed a little eclectic, but what we instantly noticed was that the pricing was more representative of a restaurant at a winery. Definitely overpriced for what it is. Our food was OK at best. My sister's hashbrowns that came with her omelette were undercooked and her omelette was missing the cheese that was supposed to be in it. My breakfast sandwich was just OK, pretty small, and served with breakfast potatoes which were pretty bland. My sister tried to order sangria which was on their menu, but they said they were out today. This is a café and wine bar, correct? Iced tea was good though..Service was basic at best. The real icing on the cake was the constant elevator music playing loudly from the speakers throughout the restaurant above us. If I ever end up on an elevator to purgatory, this will be the cafe connected to it. Altogether I'm just not too happy as I was hoping the newest restaurant addition to the city of Temecula would be something good.

A charming restaurant. Very chill morning vibe, but friendly and attentive service. My husband's breakfast sandwich with bacon and potatoes was so good! The bacon was thick and flavorful. Beautiful brioche bun. The right amount of tasty sauce. And the addition of sweet potatoes in the potato mix was amazing (crisp outside, creamy interior). My veggie omelet was excellent. I love the small dice on the bell peppers, lovely amount of vegetables as well. My mimosa with OJ was especially refreshing as well. Patrick was an excellent server. If we lived close by we would be regulars!

A great place in Rancho California but their wait staff could use some work. We found this place thru Yelp and read the great food reviews and wanted to check it out. The place smells amazing even from the outside. However once they seated us it took forever for them to finally have someone take our order. And then another even longer wait after that as they lost our order. However the prices were good and the food when it finally arrived was well worth the wait. We tried two different soups, a sandwich and a burger. All delicious. They brought up a free glass of wine to South our nerves which was kind of them. I highly recommend you check this place out but make sure to keep track of the staff as you might get your order lost.

We had been wanting to check this cafe out for a while and finally made it over there this morning. The place is decorated nicely and was spacious and clean. They have an area set up for live music and a full bar as well. Our server was a nice lady, but she forgot a few things and got our order wrong. I had the chilaquiles. I asked beforehand if either salsa (green or red) was particularly spicy, and the lady said she would have them make it with both so I can decide. When our order arrived I was given a breakfast burrito, which I did not order. Our server apologized and assured me she would get my order out. When my chilaquiles arrived they only appeared to have the red sauce, topped with a greenish cilantro-like cream. I thought they were pretty good though. My daughter ordered an omelette with hash browns, but her order came with home fries instead. We pointed this out, and our server apologized again. My daughter thought her omelette was very small, but thought it was good. My husband had the chicken and biscuits, and it was not served hot, but more lukewarm. I took a taste of the gravy and thought it was very good. While we were there there was a gentleman with a video camera recording at the table next to us, and a couple of times I saw him panning around the room which was awkward. Overall, the food was okay, portions were on the smaller side, and the service was average.

Went there for lunch today. Shared a "I Know Mark" lox and bagel plate. It comes out as a build your own so it was great/easy to share. Everything was fresh and would highly recommend this dish.

We've been waiting for the Lorimar Cafe to open. Since the Lorimar Loft closed, this is now our other Lorimar spot. We were impressed when walked in, real nice seating and upholstery similar to the wine club at Lorimar.We've been wine club members 10 years. They've got the best reds! So the food here is good. We've only tried two items so far. The loaded bagel was awesome. My wife had the Korean chicken sandwich, and she loved it.Nice ambiance here. I like that you can get your wine club glasses and get 10% off the menu food.Thanks, Mark it was worth the weight!

So glad we stopped by and can't wait to come back. Greeted by several employees when we walked in and got seated right away. Still in their soft open phase, but it was great and I can't wait to watch this place to continue to grow and evolve!We were able to use our winery membership discount, and get our complimentary glasses of wine (so awesome!).Service was great, Linda was attentive, friendly and professional. Inside there are several tables and booths, as well as bar seating. Beer and wine available! Food items were limited, but perfect for a quick bite with a glass of wine. The Korean fried chicken sandwich was amazing! Can't wait to come back!
