If you’re in Temecula and haven’t heard of Little Goat Kitchen + Bakeshop, it’s time to fix that. This fresh addition to the local food scene is already turning heads, and for good reason. Located at 39650 Winchester Rd., Suite D, in the Rancho Temecula Town Center (yes, right next to BevMo!), Little Goat is where culinary creativity meets everyday cravings. Whether you’re hunting for a flaky croissant, a killer breakfast sandwich, or a pizza that’s just the right size, this spot has you covered.
What’s the Deal with Little Goat?
Little Goat isn’t just another bakery or café—it’s the cool younger sibling of The Goat & Vine, a local favorite known for its from-scratch menu. Here, they’ve taken that same dedication to quality and added a twist. Think of it as your new go-to for mornings, lunch breaks, or an afternoon coffee fix.
The menu is a mix of old favorites and brand-new creations. Start your day with buttery croissants or gooey cinnamon rolls that taste like they were baked by angels (spoiler: they weren’t, but close enough). If you’re more of a savory breakfast person, their breakfast sandwiches are here to save your morning. Later in the day, you can dive into salads, sandwiches, and 10-inch pizzas—all made fresh daily.
Oh, and did we mention the coffee? They’ve rolled out a full coffee program to keep you caffeinated and happy. Whether you’re into lattes or straight-up espresso shots, they’ve got the goods.
A Space That Gets It
Little Goat keeps things simple with counter service, so you can grab your food and go—or stay awhile if you snag a seat. The indoor seating is cozy but limited, and there’s also a shaded patio for those who like dining al fresco (or just need some fresh air). Perfect for quick bites or lazy afternoons with friends.
Pro tip: While there’s no waitlist system here (it’s first come, first serve), the setup makes grabbing food easy—even if you’re in a rush. And yes, to-go orders are totally a thing, but don’t bother calling ahead; it’s all walk-in service for now.
Why You’ll Keep Coming Back
The magic of Little Goat lies in its versatility. It’s not just about one meal or one vibe—it’s about options. Need a quick breakfast before work? Done. Want a casual lunch that doesn’t feel like fast food? They’ve got you. Craving something sweet after 3 p.m.? Their bakery section will call your name louder than your conscience.
And let’s talk about their pizzas for a second. These aren’t your average pies—they’re personal-sized masterpieces that strike the perfect balance between crispy crusts and fresh toppings. Pair one with their salads for a lunch combo that might ruin all other lunches for you.
Hours & Details You Should Know
Little Goat is open 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. That means whether you’re an early bird or someone who rolls out of bed closer to noon, there’s plenty of time to stop by.
One thing to note: While we all love our furry friends, dogs (except service animals) aren’t allowed inside due to space limitations. So maybe leave Fido at home when you visit.
