    The croissant and pistachio coffee!

    Amazing place! I cannot believe how I ended up here. Abigail recommended me to go. Good thing! The beans are made in house with the bakery!! Loved the Pistachio honey coffee drink!

    What an unexpected treat when you pull into the business park! This cute coffee shop is a little secluded but has such warm vibe. There's a patio space before you enter the coffee shop and the design inside is welcoming. They have bookshelves with books going up to the ceiling and a glass window to see where they roast their coffee. The barista who took my order was friendly and gave me a recommendation. I ordered an iced honey cinnamon latte and loved it! It had the perfect amount of sweetness and espresso flavor.

    When I was shopping in Santee, California, I wanted to try a different and unique coffee spot, so I stopped by Coffee & Talk. It is hidden away in a small business district and has something special, their own roasting ware-house connected to the shop, which means the coffee is incredibly fresh. The aromas floating through the air is so delicious of the freshly-roasted coffee! As soon as I walked in, I found the place cute and cozy. The décor included both real and fake greenery, a cute bookshelf, and pages from books hanging along the wall with lights intertwined, giving the place a warm and creative atmosphere. It's a comfortable spot where you can relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee. I ordered a coffee called the "Aloha" latte which was amazing. It reminded me of being on a tropical island with the bold sweet and tropical flavor notes to the coffee . It had Coconut and Macadamia flavors in it . The coffee was absolutely delicious, and they also offer pastries. I ordered the almond croissant, which was both SO tasty and satisfying. They have tea also hot or cold. The beans and tea is for sale too which is a great offering! I WANTED to add they have a rewards program . When you sign up with your phone number and email address, you earn points every visit. After ten points (ten visits) you get five dollars off. If you're heading to Santee and looking for a unique, relaxing, and comfortable place with mellow music playing in the background, to grab delicious and the freshest coffee, this is definitely a spot worth visiting. I also want to mention that the service was friendly and professional, which made the experience even better. This is my favorite coffee shop!

    Not the best picture of their bookcase-- trust me I am aware, but I just had to showcase it. This place is super cute inside. Honestly, I had low expectations going in and they blew it out the park. Ash got their pistachio latte and I got their horchata latte-- super creamy, flavorful but still a present coffee taste.

    Went this morning with the whole family. Very cute place! They accidentally got my order wrong, I hate to ask for a fix but I did and they were so sweet about it. Both coffees I ended up with were amazing!

    I came here by a friend's recommendation. I'd never heard of it, and I love a new coffee place, so I was excited to try it! Firstly: it is in the industrial business area so there are lots of big trucks and semis. One actually blocked me in my parking space for a couple of minutes-I was waiting for my coffee at the time, but just be mindful that could be an issue if you're pressed for time. Anywayyyyy, when I walked in, the two baristas were talking and I wasn't greeted, fine whatever, I was looking at the menu trying to figure out what sounded good anyway. After about a minute, I walked up to the counter and was ready to order. The girls were still talking and I wasn't acknowledged at all. I felt like I had to almost fake cough or something until one finally made eye contact with me and motioned to the other to take my order. I finally ordered, and of course I left a tip as i always do. And don't get me wrong, I looooove chisme as much as the next girly pop, but like just a note moving forward: please acknowledge the customers. You guys can continue talking, but I shouldn't have to wait until you have a breath in your conversation. I only mention this because the same. Exact. Thing. Happened to the next person who walked in. That in store experience aside---- the coffee was very good! And the cups are cute and reusable!

    Such a cute cafe!!! Loved the mini library they have and the pink espresso machine! Got an Iced Honey Lavender Latte with oat and it was really good! Service was great too, friendly baristas!

    We LOVE this coffee shop in Santee. It's by far the best tasting coffee in East County. The staff is extremely friendly and quick. Not to mention they are talented artists! My husband opts for the horchata latte 1/2 sweet and I typically get the honey pistachio or honey lavender latter 1/2 sweet. Super creamy and doesn't taste burnt. I did opt for a rose latte last time and it was utterly disgusting. I won't be revisiting that flavor. We will be back on the weekends when we venture out for coffee.

    Nice inside. Trendy and simple. Not much seating inside but a nice shaded patio outside. We ordered a cappuccino- my wife said it was great. I ordered a pour over. Coffee taste is weak. Watery, almost like tea. Service was okay. They were nice. My wife's coffee came out fairly quickly but my pour over took some time. Had 4 drinks and an açaí bowl come out before my coffee.

    Great experience at this charming coffee shop located in a secluded industrial area of Santee. The patio with that wondrous tree is an added bonus of charm and character. Decoration is very cute, all that fake library going to the ceiling is fun, as well as some other items in the shop. I like the name "Coffee and talk" and not coffee and camp here! amazing blend of some people working, but also families with small children and people alone and eccentric like me that like to add a touch of florals to the composition. Even though Santee is not a town I usually go, I will make sure I will stop by again when around!

    My favorite coffee shop of all time. Their espresso is so yummy and so refreshing. All of their latte specials are absolutely delicious! All of their beans are made in their warehouse that's attached to the shop. Their pastries are also fresh every day. The owner Remzi and barista Nicole are a pleasure to see! Thank you for making this place!

    Cute coffee shop. Staff are very friendly. Although the drinks we ordered were half sweet, the drinks were still a tad too sweet for me. They were still good drinks.

    What a great relaxing spot to drink your coffee. First time visit. Picked it for being close to Stanford Court Skilled Nursing Center. I will be back! I had the large, iced vanilla latte - it's 4 shots. I'll be sipping on this for the rest of the day with a smile Friendly staff too and easy parking.

    Each coffee has a different and unique design

We ordered the family meal deal and it was perfect for an easy night out. It comes with two large pizzas, Sicilian mac and cheese, a salad (we got the Caesar), and four mini cannolis. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and honestly way better than we expected. The BBQ chicken pizza was so good, but the Sicilian mac and cheese... SO creamy, cheesy, and easily one of my favorite things we ordered. They also have an arcade, which made the whole experience even more fun for my son. It's one of those places where you're not just going for food, you're going for the full experience. Between the quality of the food and their focus on creating inclusive employment opportunities for individuals with different abilities, it's a place you genuinely feel good supporting. Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area.

The dough was premade and baked and then reheated again so it was hard like a cracker. The worst pizza I ever had. It would have been better to get a frozen pizza at the grocery store and heat it up, rather than go here. I may try the pasta someday, and maybe the thick crust, but not the regular crust. Stay away. Service was very good. Ambiance was casual and it's a good place to bring your kids.

There appeared to be four servers on the floor, yet most of the time they were standing around while only one seemed to be actively attending tables. After being seated, we waited approximately 10 minutes before anyone offered us water. Fortunately, we received menus right away, which allowed us to place our food order at the same time our server finally came to take our drink order. Throughout the meal, our server was largely absent. To make matters worse, the main dish I specifically came to order was forgotten. When I reminded our server, she assured me it would be out shortly. Fifteen minutes later, after my wife and I had already finished our roll, I asked to cancel the missing dish. Once again, I was told it was almost ready. The item I ordered should not have taken nearly an hour to prepare, and it became clear that the order had been forgotten entirely. What made the experience even more frustrating was that the restaurant remained slow the entire evening, with several servers standing around and no obvious reason for the long waits for drinks and service. The food itself was great, but the poor service significantly detracted from the overall experience. Very disappointing.
