One of the best horchata lattes I've ever had. Cute decor and great customer service. The location was a bit off but glad I checked this place out. Will most definitely return to try others and the pastries. read more

Yes, I give this place 5 stars the coffee at this small mom & pop shop brews fresh coffee. I've been to the location downtown but this is where the magic happens. The roasting of the beans that are done right behind the counter. They have all the standard flavors and dairy free options. They also have decaf options in small, medium and large cups. I usually get the chai coffee during the week and there is a small morning rush but the coffee is worth the wait. They have croissants, muffins and avocado toast. There is street parking and you can enjoy coffee indoors or outside on their tables. This used to be just the roaster warehouse then they added the coffee shop for patrons. Enjoy! read more

The staff were so helpful and answered all of my million questions lol! It's really cool that they roast their own coffee beans and that you can see it behind the counter. They have a cool book shelf display inside as well and a nice patio outside for the fur babies to enjoy! We got the Aloha (iced) and Pistachio Honey (iced) with warm blueberry muffins. So.bomb! Neither were bitter. If you like more of a coffee flavor, the Aloha would be a great choice. If you like sweeter (not overly sweet) then the pistachio honey is a great choice. Will definitely be back to try the other flavors! read more

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. read more

My third visit, and my stars continue to set. A large cappuccino appears to be a small one with more milk; it should have more coffee too. We came at noon but almost all the pastries were already gone; the avocado toast was awful; a bagel with cream cheese was ok but not really a great bagel and there was only an onion still available. An Americano was good. The patio is a great place but talking was restricted by the frequent planes passing overhead-- it is right in line with the runway at Gillespie Field. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Delicious coffee. Had the pistachio honey latte and it exceeded my expectations. The coffee was superb. Will be back!

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! read more

My favorite coffee shop of all time. Their espresso is so yummy and so refreshing. All of their latte specials are absolutely delicious!

Thank you for making this place! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I love that when you first walk in they have the clear glass so you can see where they roast their beans! I also love that you when you walk in you are welcomed with this beautiful book case that arches over the ceiling! I really enjoyed their aloha latte and thought that you could really taste the notes of the coconut and Mac nut. My only gripe is that it was very sweet, even after asking for it half sweet, but that's just my preference. read more

Outstanding customer service, very delicious and different flavor options than your regular run of the mill coffee shop. All of their coffee is roasted in house delivering that freshness flavor that you very much deserve. The pastries are next level and all made in-house, you can also request to warm them up. I tried the pumpkin Horchata iced latte, it was a little sweet, but it was definitely what I was looking for during this autumn season. It is a very new location, sort of in a industrial area so it's kind of hidden. The parking lot is a little small, but there's definitely parking available. The inside of the café is also a little small, but they are still doing more construction and are expanding the cafe. I'll most definitely be coming back, I'm hoping to grab one of their spiral croissants that sell out quickly. read more

Nestled in the business district of Santee you'll find Coffeentalk. Went in here on a week day around 9am after the morning rush. Was greeted by the owner of the shop who was very helpful and polite. The interior was very clean and had an almost Harry Potter feel to it with the hanging book pages on the ceiling and a curved book shelf that challenged physics. The great thing about this coffee shop is they roast their own beans. They also have a plethora of coffee from different parts of the world and different loose leaf teas that you can purchase. The coffee here was really nice. Very smooth and didn't have a burnt taste that you commonly run into with some coffee shops. They have a selection of pastries that you can pick from as well, but most were already gone by time I got there. Most likely from the morning rush. Hoping to try their ube croissant next time. If you're in the east county area, be sure to stop by here and grab a coffee. read more

I've had Coffeentalk on my list for a while, so I was excited to see a new location in Santee! The decor inside is super cute, and the books add a cozy, thoughtful touch. Drink sizes are generous for the price, and everything tasted great. I enjoyed an Aloha Latte and an apple turnover on the patio. Even on a hot day, the shaded outdoor space stayed cool and peaceful, perfect for relaxing. The staff was warm and welcoming, and they were even handing out flowers on Mother's Day, which was such a sweet gesture. Highly recommend stopping by for a chill, friendly coffee spot in East County! read more

I really enjoyed the coffee I tried today. I had the Aloha iced coffee. It was the perfect blend. Just the right amount of sweetness for me. The coconut/macadamia flavor really popped. The shop itself is really small inside. But had a few chairs outside. Really cool book shelf display. Bathroom was clean, but no mirror. Staff friendly! Trusted their recommendation and happy I listened. read more

I have always disliked the bitterness of most coffee/lattes I have attempted to drink. Many are watered down and have little to no flavor. Coffeentalk is the first place I have thoroughly enjoyed a latte! I have had to pleasure of now having several iced lattes, all absolutely delicious! The lattes have a rich, deep color - matching the rich deep flavor. Highly recommend the pistacho and aloha lattes. Wonderful and accommodating service - I enjoy ordering extra sweetener as a personal preference. A great addition to Santee! A welcoming environment, quality product, and a nice way to support local business! read more

I ordered a rose honey coffee--large iced with almond milk--thinking I was in for something floral and fancy. Walked into the shop and immediately caught a weird smell. Should've taken that as my "turn around now" moment, but nope, I powered through. The barista warned me the drink had four shots of espresso. Challenge accepted. First sip? It was like I face-planted into a rose bush while my grandma spritzed me with her strongest perfume. The floral taste was so intense it felt like I was drinking potpourri. Then came a sour tang--probably the coffee flexing its muscles. Overall, it was... an experience. Not one I'll be repeating, but definitely one I'll never forget. read more

I had the Aloha coffee this morning and was worried it would be too sweet. The man at the cash register let me know that they could make it less sweet if I preferred, but I ended up getting it how it usually comes. I'm so glad I did because it was so good! Is sweet but could still taste the coffee and flavor was awesome. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Very underwhelming experience. Cute inside but the flavored lattes were not very good. I don't know if it was the syrup or the oat milk or the coffee itself but wouldn't get an oat milk latte again. Also, barista pretty much blamed me after she made a mistake on my order:( read more

Coffee&Talk is tucked inside the industrial area in santee off Prospect. They have designated parking and a cute sitting area. The coffee is DELISH! I've tried both cold and hot now. The flavor offerings are wonderful and the baked goods/ pastries are also a delight. The muffins are hearty and moist (sorry) and today I tried a cream cheese turkey jalapeño croissant and it was delish. I would def get it again. Service is fast and friendly.

First time here, it's great! I've been meaning to try their matcha, and it's pretty decent. Unlike most places, it doesn't taste like milk and has a richer matcha flavor, however, some undissolved matcha chunks were left at the bottom. Next time I'll ask for less sugar since it's a little too sweet for me! There was only one person working when I went, and she was pretty friendly; she served me fast and answered my questions. The inside was cutely decorated, but the outdoor seating with a tree as shade was nicer! Kept me cool even on a hot day. Will be back :) read more

Coffeentalk - Santee - Small matcha latte. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Santee, California

Cute little hide-a-way in an industrial park in Santee/El Cajon . You almost need to be in the know to find it. It's located in a warehouse where coffee is roasted and distributed. Very comfortable vibe inside. Great for casual business meetings, conversation and relaxing - except for the airplanes! (Just make sure your computer is fully charged as there are no outlets.) It's near a small airfield which makes it noisy when the airport is active. Had a yummy iced pistachio honey latte. Mom enjoyed a raspberry herbal tea. It smelled good, tastes like regular black tea with a hint of raspberry. We also had a raspberry cream cheese muffin which was ok. Blackery items are from one of their other locations so you know they're fresh. On a Sunday at noon they were a bit light on bakery items but that may be because it's a new location. And, because they're so new, we had the luxury of being the only ones there! Pricing is as expected for gourmet coffee, just a bit more than Starbucks making it pricy but not outrageous. As it's a relatively new, I hope more people find and support it 'cause selfishly, I'd like more food choices! ;-) read more

Pros: Freshly grounded espresso beans. Friendly staff and excellent customer service. Delicious and creative latte option. Fresh roasted coffee beans made in house for purchase. Cons: Inconsistent hours of operation and late morning opening. Slightly higher than average prices. Unbearable freezing temperatures inside in the mornings. In a nutshell, this is a good coffee shop with minor issues. I have come here multiple times and have always felt welcome and have been given exceptional customer service. The owner is very kind and takes the time to get to know the customers and let them know their thoughts and concerns are heard. I have tried different lattes here and the Aloha is by far my favorite. It is a blend of coconut powder, macadamia nut, milk, and espresso. Perfect combination and the only place I have found where the temperature is to my liking. Not scolding hot, and not cold. It is warm enough that it doesn't burn my lips, but I can drink it right away. A must try! The place is clean, there is indoor and outdoor seating available, and free parking. This place is in a large warehouse, which is why it is freezing inside. I would love to sit and enjoy my coffee but have found the morning cold air uncomfortable to enjoy. I have been here on 3 different occasions at the posted opening time to find this place closed =(. I have even waited 15-30 minutes to see if they were running late but was only disappointed. Other than that, this place is a good place and has a lot of potential. Worth checking out and giving the smaller local coffee spots a try. read more

Stumbled upon this hidden gem tucked between businesses after a workout. The baristas were super friendly and made an excellent cup of coffee.
