Cool vibe inside, staff is friendly and I'm glad I saw the menu in the car before because the staff was ready to help and I was prepared. Would come back

I referred to my trusted Yelp App to find this hidden gem in the area I was in. I've been curious about Arab coffee and wanted to try it. When I arrived inside this nicely decorated cozy cafè, the staff was friendly and automatically knew it was my 1st time which created a welcoming atmosphere. The service was pretty good...my order was given to me in a timely matter. I will definitely stop by whenever I'm in El Cajon. Overall, I had a positive experience and highly recommend it to the Yelp Community.

The coffee menu and the dessert looks so good!! We tried the red velvet and tiramisu coffee. The coffee is not too sweet and taste delicious!! We didn't get a dessert this time as our coffee is a dessert itself . Service was quick.. there's a couple customer hanging out enjoying their coffee. The place is pretty spacious and super clean. That floor is SHINY!! I have to use a walker due to my knee surgery and I felt bad. We would definitely be back. The drinks is so delicious and I can't wait to try the desserts.

Ordered a cold brew and a latte. Both of the coffee wasnt very strong. It is a very nice open space if you want a place to sit and work. There is also lots of food options.

Delicious and sweet! If you're looking for a photogenic flavored coffee that tastes as good as it looks, you've come to the right place! The location itself is super lowkey but the service is fast and presentation was awesome for a smaller cafe. Pricing was very good for the portions you get and I loved the fresh fruit side to balance the dessert crepe.

Found this place on Yelp and would 100% recommend. Their açaí bowl is one of the best I've ever had. I love ice cream texture consistency with açaí and they had that. They also added Nutella topping which I was skeptical at first for fear of being too sweet, but it was perfect. The service was friendly and the ambiance felt upscale and picturesque. The Spanish Latte was very smooth as well. Recommend this place! Açaí Bowl: 5/5 Spanish Latte Cold Drink: 4.5/5

Fantastic cafe in El Cajon! Situated in a newer plaza with plenty of parking, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The store itself was very clean and extremely well lit. The extensive menu features lots of drink options - but we couldn't help but order the dubai crepe. It came out beautifully presented and piping hot. Loved the flavors and textures in addition to the visuals.

About 30$+

Good cafe with tasty drinks and great desserts. However, I wouldn't call it 5 stars because the price doesn't quite match the quality I've had better elsewhere. That said, I'd still come back and would recommend it to others.

Very cute and clean place. Great customer service. I got pistachio blended and lotus blended and it's very good. The pistachio is very creamy. The lotus drink also good. I also got the Dubai strawberry and it's very yummy. I like that the strawberry still crunch and not got burn/soft by hot chocolate. There are a lot of big pistachio crunch as well.

Decor

They have unique drink and dessert menu. The decor is very posh and comfy. It is very warm inside, warmer inside than outside and there is no fans. Service was fast and pleasant. I enjoyed the hibiscus w/m tea (melon). refreshing and delicious.

Spanish latte
Alana Z.

I absolutely loved this cafe! Super robust menu with many treats and coffee flavors. The space itself has very cute decor and a lot of seating. The music was very relaxing, it seemed like a great place to study or get work done. The Spanish latte was very good, I appreciated how hot it was (I like my coffee hot!). The Dubai chocolate crepe was incredible, it had a lot of chocolate sauce which was appreciated.

monica c.

So far, not too bad. I got the Dubai crepe; shared it between 3 people and that was enough! The crepe was good. The strawberries and bananas tasted fresh. They have some flavored lattes that I would love to try next time. The place itself was clean and spacious. Server was friendly.

Coffee

We stumbled upon this lovely coffee shop and what a delightful time we had. So it says it has Dubai roots and there are some items in the menu with some Dubai influence. So, we tried the Dubai croissant. Interesting and enjoyable. We had a cappuccino and a regular coffee. Well, 100 points of the coffee, it was great! Service was good. I guess the basics nowadays. You order at the register, pay, and they bring your order to your table. Ambiance was lovely. This place is small and charming and with lovely music. If you are in the area, give them a try, and share your experiences. You will love it.

This is one of El Cajon's hidden gem…read more Food 5/5 Service 5/5 I first learned about Gillespie Field Café from a coworker when we worked at GBS on Friendship Drive. This was more than 5 years ago and I've been hooked ever since! They always have great food and service! I highly recommend their country fried steak as well as their fresh squeeze orange juice, but honestly, all the food I've eaten here has always been good. I also love watching the planes take off & land from the side. This place is perfect for families, foodies, and plane lovers in your life! They have plenty of seats & parking on a busy weekend afternoon. Thank you again for the great food & service. Recommendation: Country Fried Steak with potatoes, fresh squeezed orange juice and unlimited coffee.

Nothing to really brag about except this place is reliable. It's a typical turn and burn, greasy…read morespoon with a terrific view of the Gillespie Field tarmac and runways. On weekends you can expect some interesting planes to watch while eating. Personally, my go to is the country fried steak. This is one place that offers both hash browns and roasted potatoes. But their biscuits and gravy isn't my favorite. They don't offer fancy coffee though. No Lattes, cappuccinos, nothing. Just regular or decaf... Great service and there is rarely a wait. Super dog friendly. It's quaint, friendly, and super fast. It is loud though with all the plane noise but you can always sit inside if noise is a thing...

The spicy muffin as a breakfast sandwich is not too spicy has just the right amount of spice- the eggs taste fresh any breakfast sandwich with some cheese and bacon is an added bonus for a delicious English muffin! The environment is super cute and friendly. It's a nice cool zone because they do not skimp on the AC. There's a TV with games on for ones viewing pleasure and music playing lightly in the background. System all around here. Investing for customers and ample seating. They have a great selection of the variety of laborers to choose from coffees, smoothies, and they have matcha. This is going to be one of my new favorite spots when I wanna treat myself and I can't wait to try more or anything that they recommend from there!

First time visiting…read more I liked the outdoor covered seating. It looks like a popular spot for the locals. I saw many families/moms with baby's in strollers, so it is very accessible. It was a little bit louder than I expected, but not horrible. Service was good and friendly. I personally liked the reduced menus options. Gives them a better chance of providing quality over variations. I enjoyed my breakfasts sandwich on a croissant. It seamed fresh and fluffy. My husband had the Benedict, which he enjoyed as well. My favorite thing was the dirty chai. Possibly my New favorite dirty chai. It had great chai flavor that didn't get overpowered by the coffee. We also got an apple strudel. It was delicious, it's was fluffy and gave me the impression it was fresh. Another good point for me was that it wasn't too sweet. If you are in the area, I definitely recommend. If not in the area maybe still stop by if you want something quick, maybe even to go.

Sheldon's is a nice little breakfast/brunch spot located inside on old service station in downtown…read moreLa Mesa. The seating is outside under a covered patio. This place gets pretty busy on the weekends, so expect to wait in line for a little bit. You order your food at the counter, and it is brought out to you. The menu is pretty limited as far as food, but there are a lot of different coffee and tea options. That being said, the food they do have is pretty delicious. I had the Benny Special which is an eggs bendict with sausage. It was really good. The dirty chai was good, but it wasn't as sweet as most places make them and how I prefer them. For some, this might be appealing though. Overall, it's a nice brunch spot. Give them a try!
