What truly sets Annie’s Cafe apart is their dedication to portion and value—the generous servings mean you’re never skimped on flavor or quantity, a fact echoed by returning visitors like Jenna Wagner, who raves about celebrating special occasions here with generous catering orders that impress even large groups. Regular patrons like Graham attest to their crave-worthy dishes, including the unexpected delight of bangers and mash or their famously generous fish and chips, which come “not that small and on the cheap,” proving that this diner is both authentic and unpretentious.
Whether you’re craving a comforting stack of Cinnamon French Toast with Berries, a thoroughly satisfying Chicken Sandwich, or a cup of coffee paired with divine coffee cake, Annie’s Cafe Temecula shines as a friendly neighborhood gem. It’s a place where food comforts the soul, service is fueled by genuine hospitality, and every visit feels like coming home.
Good diner atmosphere. Staff was lively, well meaning and seemed to have good team work communication. Yet while the dining areas was packed with weekend brunchers our service was somewhat lacking in attentiveness for things like water, drink refills, condiments requests and a side order that never came. Not a total inditement, just a one visit weekend brunches our service time experience. I would definitely try again and maybe try to steer away from peak dining hours.
I cannot say enough good things. I inquired about a catering order for a breakfast celebration we were having onsite for a retirement go-away, and Annie's made it so easy. We ordered for 20, and it was more than enough, no one felt like they had to skimp out on portions & everyone raved about the food (especially the biscuits and gravy). We even got to feed our customers who came through. Great staff, great food, and great price. Thank you, Annie's!
Food was fast and delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place !
The food and service was excellent. I got the mini Winston Churchill with coffee cake and a coffee. The food was so good and I highly recommend the coffee cake. It was delicious!
Visited on way to Idyllwild. So good I visited on way back. Their bangers and mash, fish and chips and funnel cake French toast stuffed with strawberries, strawberry syrup, cream cheese and topped with fresh cream were to die for. If it's your birthday expect a full singing and dancing show!
Most of the food we had was pretty good. I had the steak special and the steak was cooked well. The hash browns were toasted nicely. My friend had the French toast and it was good. None of us cared for the biscuits. Coffee was okay.
We were in town for a mini vacation and wanted to try Annie's Cafe, based on the reviews and the location. Sitting right off of the freeway in Temecula, it's easy to find and get to. There are a few British photo-op props you can take pictures with while waiting to be seated, or even afterwards. They also have a small merchandise area, in case you wanted a small souvenir. We arrived bright and early around 730 on a Saturday, and it filled up very quickly. While I'm not sure if it's a weekend special or a daily special, there was a chalkboard out in front highlighting a $12.99 steak and eggs special before 9AM. AMAZING deal. The steak is cooked to order, and you have a few options to choose from, and decent options....not cheap menu fillers. Probably why it filled up so quickly. Service is fast and friendly, and for larger groups, there are small table extenders that connect two together - great as a space-saver for fixed booths and tables. Boysenberry syrup is available for you pancake, waffle and french toast lovers! The food is good, and will fill you up...also another reason why the restaurant filled up so quickly. While there may be quite a few options nearby for breakfast and brunch, you won't be disappointed with the fluffy french toast, waffles, pancakes and the savory food.
