I've been living in the area for a couple months now and I've always seen the drive through packed. I finally decided to give it a try and see if I was able to do some work and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really recommend to go if you want a loud enough environment so you can be on meetings with your AirPods and also plenty of outlets next to tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee is really worth the drive through hype haha. It's also pretty affordable, big plus!! I would recommend that you come inside if you are in a little bit of a hurry. read more

Gladly Coffee - Vanilla iced latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Really great drinks, really great breakfast sandos, really great workspace, really great hang out space. First visit today, and I'm impressed with the whole place! Breakfast sandos are simple and cheap - exactly as promised, and delicious. Drinks are as basic or fancy as you like, and also really reasonably priced. The music is loud if you're trying to make a work call, but just perfect if you're looking to power through emails with a little "Jenny from the Block" energy. I don't live anywhere nearby, but I'll absolutely make the trip to be back! read more

Just left and the line is worth it. Maddy or Maddi helped us this morning at the drive thru and she was so sweet right away. The line and crowd would have stressed most people out but she was off the first interaction so so nice She suggested drinks and said we ordered all her favorite things being our first time. It's baristas and staff like her that make cafes regulars Dirty Harry 10/10, peanut butter 12/10. We will be back best coffee we've had in ages Jack sandwich with steak 10/10 and loaded hash browns 10/10 Smoothie also amazing, found a new regular spot. This is the one sip makes your day kinda spot. read more

Gladly Coffee - Dirty Harry, green smoothie and peanut butter latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Spring Valley, California

This wasn't a good experience:( first of all, the drive through operation is a MESS! You can come in from two spots in the parking lot and they ask people to zipper in. The line is also super long so this leads to an even longer wait time with people coming in through the back. We decided to park and go in but were blocked from even entering the lot by the drive thru line for about 5 minutes. I figured it must be really good with the long wait! Was super disappointed in the drinks and food. We ordered matcha (which maybe was the mistake, maybe the coffee is better!). It had 0 matcha flavor and tasted like sweetened milk. Was super light green, so pretty bland. We also got croissants and they were the most dry bread item I have ever had in my life. No flake or buttery feel at all. Costco croissants are better! We ended up tossing our almost full drinks and croissants. I bet the coffee must be better given how popular this place is but I can't say I'll be back to try it given our experience read more

New Fave Iced Coffee: The Lemon Poppyseed Shaken Espresso If you are in Spring Valley/La Mesa area, you have to stop by and try this drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was able to peek the inside from their drive thru line and the seating and space looks very comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The drive thru line itself is a huge plus for me when on-the-go before work/errands.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Getting back to the drink, I did order this iced with Oat Milk and half sweet -- It is so delicious My coworkers were even surprised at how much they liked it because of the lemon. Me personally? I love anything with lemon in it. Well balanced, tasty, not too much... just right and strong to get you through the day! read more

Gladly Coffee. Wow- You pleasantly surprised me! I went inside to order because the drive thru line was chic-fil-a level packed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I walked in to an inviting, open space with high ceilings and plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of people were there just hanging out and enjoying their drinks and food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't know what to order because I had never been there before. The lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful! I got the Dirty Harry latte and it was wonderful!!! I immediately regretted getting medium. This coffee shop is in an area that really needed a coffee shop. I'm so glad they are there! I will be back!! Good job Gladly Coffee! read more

I thought this place would be good because there is always a long line but we went and our order was completely wrong, one of the drinks was not good and the girl in the drive thru was not helpful at all. We paid $35 dollars plus tip for two regular drinks and two tiny sandwiches. I ordered an elderberry hibiscus cooler that was supposed to have chia seeds in it (probably two chia seeds in the whole thing) and it tasted like water. My partner got a blended cold brew which was good. I asked for a sausage hashbrown sandwich with cheddar and muenster cheese only and got a sandwich with arugula, onions, sauce, sausage, hashbrowns and NO cheese. My partner got an ultimate breakfast sandwich that had the correct ingredients but was underwhelming. We asked for a side of avocado and the unpleasant lady at the window just said, "No." hahaha so overall not a good experience. Neither of us ate our sandwiches or finished our drinks. read more

This is probably my 3/4th visit. Every single drink I've gotten from here never disappoints. From the banana espresso, to the chocolate shake, mochas and the cookie butter chai I had today - so good! And the service is always pleasant, so far always friendly ! The food is very good too, have no complaints. I will say the sausage in the breakfast sandwich is too sweet. But the steak Sammy's are very good! This place is definitely chill vibes! Would definitely come here again and again! (Especially love the drive thru!) read more

I was recommended here by a friend and came on a Sunday and the drive thru line was insane. It like wrapped around. So I parked thinking I could go in but the inside was closed. Not sure if it's every Sunday or just that day. I was sad to leave and not get to try. I came back today a Friday morning and the line was just as long. I opted to go in and so glad I did. I ordered the white chocolate mocha blended cold brew with caramel drizzle and it was so good! Now I understand the long lines! They have so many good drink and food options to select from. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is so cute and so perfect to catch up with a friend or on work emails or just relax and enjoy a coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The workers were friendly and fast. I waited maybe 5 minutes for my drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was pretty busy as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is definitely somewhere I plan to come back to again. read more

I don't even know where to begin, everything we ordered was top-notch. Every single coffee and dish was amazing, and I'll definitely be coming back.

I was looking for a new drive-thru coffee spot and was lucky enough to find this gem pretty close to me. Not only do they have tons of delicious hot and iced drink options, but they also carry the best selection of breakfast and lunch items as well. Everything i've had here so far has been absolutely delicious and I can't help but tell everyone I know about this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside dining is spacious and very modern.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is always quick as possible and friendly. If you like bold flavors, i'd recommend the BLTA chipotle bagel sammy. Best sandwich i've ever had, hands down. I don't think you could go wrong with anything you choose though. The drive-thru/parking lot situation can be tough on a busy day, since it's tucked in a small corner right off the freeway but it's more than worth it. Don't forget to ask for a punch card to earn free drinks! read more

Stopped by Gladly Coffee--not really a big coffee guy, but this place surprised me. The Chimichurri steak sandwich was the highlight. Really solid--great flavor, good portion, and cooked right. Stopped by here to get my Grill coffee, did not expect the food to be filling, but it was. Tried the Dirty Harry Latte even though coffee's not really my thing, and it was actually pretty good. Service was great. Overall, came for a quick bite and ended up impressed. Definitely worth it, especially for the food. read more

Gladly Coffee - Dirty Harry Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I always see so much traffic in their drive thru when I drive by so I finally decided to take my laptop and work remotely here for a couple hours. Parking is very difficult here! There's only a handful of spots so you would have to find parking elsewhere. There's no street parking so you're left with parking in the lots across the street from the coffee shop. There are signs warning people that they will tow away vehicles that are parking there but are not customers of the businesses on the property. Now on to the food-- I ordered the classic breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg and cheese, and an iced vanilla latte. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cafe itself is spacious, with an open concept full of different seating. There are couches, chairs, bistro tables, and barstools.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's also plenty of natural light which made for a productive and calm work environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This review is just based on my experience in their drive thru today. Their staff are very quick and they're polite. I ordered a peanut butter latte. I didn't taste my drink before driving off, but when I tasted my drink, it tasted like pure salt. Like they added a heaping spoonful of peanut butter and a tablespoon of salt to it. I could not drink it. It's a shame because I've been looking forward to trying this place for so long. They have a very big menu, so maybe their other drinks are better, and this was just a one off. read more

If places like Gladly's Coffee multiplied, they'd put every other café and coffee shop on notice -- yes, even Starbucks... peace out. I've been coming here for years, and honestly, shame on me for waiting this long to leave a review. The coffee is consistently amazing, the customer service is top-tier, and the breakfast sandwiches never disappoint. It's rare to find a place that gets everything right, but Gladly's does. Huge thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Phillips for creating such a special spot for the community to enjoy. Your hard work and heart are felt in every cup and every visit. Thank you! read more

The Dirty Harry Latte every. single. time. A coffee that is perfectly balanced with strong and sweet is my kind of coffee. Love how it is also Harry Potter themed as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the vibe inside the cafe, it feels like a great place to study and catch up with friends![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was super friendly and even though it was busy, they were still nice and got through the line in a quick manner.

The service was amazing and the young woman taking my order recommended the pickle tots after I wanted to try the regular tots with the pickle dip, what a good genuine upsell!!! The moonlight magic latte was soooo good and was perfectly balanced, I could make out each individual flavor profile. The drive thru was busy but was constantly flowing and the service inside the cafe didn't feel rushed at all, order came out quickly and well made, [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will definitely be back to try more signature lattes and enjoy the cafe ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have been a Starbucks customer/ lover for over 30 years! Literally! I have enjoyed a chai tea latte, pretty much every day since! I'm talking, even in different countries where applicable. I was really at a loss a few months ago when they changed their recipe! I drive by this establishment every day on my way to get on the 94. I thought to myself, "one time can't hurt!" OH MY GOODNESS!!! The Chai tea ACTUALLY had TASTE! It did not taste like that new found chemical (classic) taste Starbucks apparently has pumped into my beloved drink. The customer service was bubbly and jovial! I went inside one day because the drive thru was a tad chaotic, and I saw what I believed to be the owner. He was so just, chill and carrying on with the patrons. I really hope he is cognizant and proud of his bustling coffee shop he has created. This man, is also on the headset as well. So the work ethic is there. I want to see this for a local business! This is why they THRIVE! I have never met this person, no idea of his name, I am an observer as well as being part of the food and beverage industry. I appreciate greatness. The customer service here, all around is 10/10! It took me 4 times going through the drive thru (they have a camera) , for them to know EXACTLY what I order! Crew! You actually make my day!! Shout out to Sara and Melody! Give this place a go! Oh,oh they also have a punch card! Make sure to get one! You get $5 off when you hit a certain number! (The number could be lower ;-)) Ok, I'll see you tomorrow guys :-) read more

Came on Mother's Day.... Because I was really Looking forward to grabbing some coffee on my day... I guess they didn't have the inside open only drive way... tried to come inside to order a drink because I didn't know but I guess they weren't open inside... I seen two people outside so I didn't think there were close.. the lady seemed to have gotten drinks for these people who were clearly not in the drive through either... the lady sees that I clearly got dropped off with my daughter but yet seemed to have gotten a drink for these people... (as we walked up she was taking there order) so that's why we proceeded to walk up because the lady was taking there order... the lady didn't even apologized or say anything to me... she has black hair and her hair in a bun.. she comes to give the people there drinks and food BUT WERE CLEARLY NOT IN THE DRIVE THROUGH LIKE SHE TOLD ME.... Super sad because it's Mother's Day and the worked clearly didn't care at all to even say sorry Used to love this place but after this never AGAIN. My daughter made a comment about it being open inside because she saw the worker bring two girls there food and drinks.. she just gives my daughter a really mean look instead of just saying I'm so sorry... obviously there was an exception for these people but not everybody... so sad the way the worker talked us and looked at my daughter Used to love this place but never again... She could have easily explained the situation to us but clearly was annoyed that we tried to walk in Sunday - (DT Only) but clearly you see the people with there food and drinks also this was around 12:30 pm on Sunday read more

Didn't get the chance to take a picture of our drinks but we opted for the two most popular: the Peanut Butter latte and the Dirty Harry latte. The peanut butter latte has a very strong flavor and was my favorite out of the two, the Dirty Harry was very rich in flavor and a bit too sweet for my taste. This coffee shop has a drive through that was packed so we ordered inside and they also had a line but it moved quickly. Staff was very friendly despite being busy,the was loud atmosphere but that was to be expected due to the amount of customers for a Saturday morning. Will be back for that peanut butter latte again! read more

I've been driving this drive-thru for the past 3 years now. I no longer live near this location but I still make my way there (that should tell you something!). It has been a drive-thru since I remember but officially, this year you can walk in and order! My favorites (in this order) 1. Spicy Jack 2. Dirty Harry Shaken Espresso (1/2 sweet) 3. Bees Knees Latte 4. Cheese Danish (better than Starbucks - way cheaper and wayyyy more cheese in the middle) 5. Oatmeal with berries and almond butter As you can see, they have a very extensive menu. You can literally order breakfast, lunch and dinner from here. They also have non-caffeine options such as smoothies. The vibes are chill inside. You see a wide range of ages, from teens to older adults. The inside renovations are pretty planty-modern and they also have outdoor seating. Service is quick and always friendly. I've never had an issue with my order and its always done the same exact way. Highly recommend!! It's like a hidden gem. read more

I have not been inside this coffee shop, but went through their drive thru. I loved that they labeled for gluten free and were able to accommodate my gluten allergy. However, not everyone was super knowledgeable and got gluten and dairy confused, which could be super dangerous and life threatening. Fortunately, I caught that and asked again to double and triple check. I went three times while visiting from Northern California. The first visit was great, great coffee and the worker was super nice. The second visit, they were super busy and the workers were less friendly and acted annoyed when I asked questions because my son who is celiac wanter a smoothie and i needed to know if the king kong milkshake was safe, which it wasn't due to cross contamination issues with the peanut butter. I love the dirty harry coffee. So good! I would recommend and come back if ever back in the area. read more

We've been going to Gladly regularly since day one as it's very close to the house. This is, hands down, the best option for quick quality food in Casa de Oro. It's 1000x better than Starbucks, faster too. Their drinks are good, but the food is truly the standout here. I've never once had something I didn't like here and I've been literally more times than I can count (typically a few times a week since they opened). There's a reason that there is always a line here. read more

Excellent cozy coffee and food cafe in Spring Valley. The drive thru line is long and I see why. I got the 8 oz craft mocha and the breakfast club. Enjoyed them both.

The Craft mocha is the perfect blend of coffee and mocha just the way I like it. read more
