This place is so good. all of the bad reviews are the problem. this is a local small business and people need to stop hating on small businesses that actually care about their customers, not just go pay starbucks and get cheap trash coffee there. Coffee corner is the best. Love their coffees, the employees and service is so good, and the ambiance of the room is perfect. So sweet and both locations are awesome. it is YOUR fault if you order to the wrong store read more

I recently moved out of the area and I'm SO SAD about it. This is the best coffee shop in Santee/El Cajon hands down. Great menu and plenty of seating to do work or get together with others. Service is fast and the workers are always kind. read more

False advertisement on some pricing. I ordered a medium iced Carmel macchiato which says $4.95 on their board and when she was inputting my order into the register I saw a charge for ICE .50 cents!!!!!! I asked about it and she said it had something to do with their cups SO! Just be aware that you will be charged an EXTRA .50 for LESS actual drink!!!!!!! read more

First time visiting. I ordered an iced oatmilk matcha latte (half sweet). I'm not sure if it was the matcha or what, but their was an off putting flavor in the drink. I was only able to drink half before I just tossed it. (Btw I drink matcha lattes all the time from different places). The baristas were really friendly. I wasn't in the mood to ask for another drink. Oh well. Maybe next time. read more

First of all, I like this place and hopefully this is constructive criticism and taken that way. I had my coffee which was delish, and my girls met me and we ordered a second time, almost $30 bucks. My daughter asked a couple of questions ( she's a former barista) Do you pull single or double shots? (Pretty easy question for coffee spots) They didn't know how to answer but she got it ordered. When it came out, it had very little cold foam, an extra she paid for. She was told, well, we're going to charge you extra? Wait, why, it came out w not enough foam. They added 1/2 & 1/2 instead versus charging again. Ok, whatever. While this was going my second daughter at the counter heard the staff talking about my first daughter. ( while she's in line) Really? Folks, it's only coffee and you're in the business of being nice to customers. Simple. I will take my order not being right because that's a reality and mistakes happen. But manners matter and there should never be a circumstance where you talk shade about any customer. read more

The service was friendly and fast. This was our first visit but won't be our last! We enjoyed our drinks and plan to try some other things on the menu. The coffee was delish, I enjoyed it more than my usual order from Starbucks - my friend loved her chai. We will be back read more

Another local Santee coffee shop. I'm 80 percent of the time at the Starbucks (SB) down the street but this is a good alternative. Baristas were friendly, great cold brew, and they have some sandwich and pastry options here. I went with a Belgian waffle. They have some food options SB doesn't. Good spot to support small local business. read more

This is the best coffee place in town. Chai tea latte and Geneva are fantastic. Best part of Coffee Corner is the employees. Everyone is friendly and very patient (even when we have been there and some customers have been rude to the staff for no real reason). The place is very cute and cool to hang out, absolutely love this place. Big shout out to Ashlyn and Susie the managers for always being friendly and greeting everyone! read more

We dropped my cousin off at his appointment and decided to sit in the coffee shop and wait for him. This cafe offers coffee, juice, pastries, acai bowls, and sandwiches. They have a seating area that's in the corner of the room, looks like a nice place to read or work. Service was great, order at the counter and they will call you once ready. read more

What a cool coffee shop here in Santee. Cashier was friendly, gave me the WiFi password without hesitation when asked. I asked if it was alright to setup and scan some documents and she said sure, we've got power outlets everywhere. Oh, the coffee? I don't drink coffee but the iced tea was delicious and refreshing. Menu isn't extensive which is a good thing in my book and the ambience is top notch. Done in wood tables and counters with wood and metal stools. Plenty of outdoor space too. First time here but I'll be back. read more

If you haven't visited Coffee Corner yet then you are missing out! The coffee shop is super cute and a perfect spot to grab a coffee and a snack and work from a laptop! The baristas and staff are so cheerful and helpful. Not to mention, the coffee is awesome. Don't forget to purchase beans to take home with you too! read more

Clean and simple space. Plenty of seating, decor was minimal but also aesthetically pleasing. The ladies behind the counter were awesome. We had the matcha latte, some frappe and the Belgian waffle. The prices were affordable and actually shocked me (am I just used to paying $8 for coffee now?! who am I.) read more

I came to try this place out after an appointment in the area, and overall, I'd say it's ok. Their latte flavors are interesting so if I'm in Santee and craving coffee again then it's a maybe to see what else they have to offer! My highlight was the avocado toast, the bread was perfectly toasted and the flavor was all there. The blended Genieva was... ok. A little underwhelming. It was sweet which was to be expected, but I was surprised to taste practically no coffee at all. Kinda just tasted like milk and syrup blended with ice so it was a little disappointing, but next time I may add an extra espresso shot or two. The cinnamon roll... was sad :/ Cold and stale. It said it came with icing but I was given none. I took one bite when I got home and tossed the whole thing. Sucked because my whole order came out to around $20 and I only really enjoyed 1/3 of it. If I make my way back I'll probably skip the pastries and try out an açaí bowl and an iced latte! read more

Had the genieva and it was ok. Expected more of a toffee thank milky taste but overall good cup of coffee. Very interesting flavors offered. Lemon raspberry muffin is very good.

I recently had a matcha latte and an iced latte from the Coffee Corner of Santee. They were both well priced and quite good. The 16 oz iced latte was only $4. It was smooth and rich with coffee flavor. The young lady at the counter was very nice and welcoming. They offer inside and outside seating. read more

This is my go to in Santee. Their cold brew is the best in Santee in my opinion. They offer 3 different varieties with very different flavor profiles. The blueberry is surprising good and the Grog is always reliable. I haven't had one in ages but their acai bowls were always really good. read more

Came here with my mom around 11:30am and was met with a lovely new addition. I noticed the upgraded work area, appliances, and more space to make drinks. The service was organized and quick. In addition to that the counters were clean and the lay out was very moveable. I can see how some people would say the benches aren't comfy as they are wooden. Today, I noticed they were missing several of their pillows. Usually they would have pillows for the backs of the wooden booths but there was only one today and it was placed in the corner where there was a seating gap. I ordered a 24 oz iced orange chocolate drink (mocha)! It tasted incredible and like I was eating the Trader Joe's chocolate orange. I love this drink and so does my mom. (These all contain espresso by the way). She ordered a 20 oz hot German chocolate drink. Which consisted of chocolate, coconut, and caramel. The flavor of the coconut was not overwhelming but subtle and delicious. It paired wonderfully with the caramel and chocolate. I usually am not a fan of German cake but this coffee creation version of it was delicious. I love how unique each Coffee drink was on the menu. I'll have to come back to try another one! One drink costed $5.75 and the other was $6.75 ~ under $7 dollars! Yay what a score. Especially for those sizes! I highly recommend coming in here for coffee. While we were seated there was a constant flow of people coming in so the place got full. read more

My husband and I came here one time and ordered the German Chocolate Iced Latte. That latte is the reason we keep coming back here. I'm sure everything else on their menu is delicious but I just can't think of trying anything else and every time I order that same latte again. It's got a hold on me. lol! ALSO the service is incredibly fast here! The ambiance is amazing and the people who work there are friendly and personable. Thank you coffee corner. read more

I am all for supporting small businesses, we (my coworkers and I) have been going to the Coffee Corner several times a week for months. We work at the Sharp Reese Stealy off Cuyamaca and walk down to the Town Center location during our break and get our coffee. Went today to pick up our online order, we do get busy at work, and we accidentally ordered to pick up at the wrong location. The manager was there today, Susie Parker, she looked it up and told me we ordered at the Carolton Hills location not the Towne Center. She said I'd have to drive there to pick it up. I told her oh no I'm sorry, I walked here and have to walk back to work , is there any way you can just make it here. She ever sooooo rudely said, no we can't but if you want you can jump back in line and order again. I proceeded to ask if I order again do I have to pay again, she said yes, I would. I want to add that when I was standing there waiting as she looked for my order and elderly woman got up and asked for a splash of half and half , a splash k , and the manager said she could give her a splash for $.50 cents. She literally had a total of 4 large iced coffees and you still going to charge her fifty cents for a splash. I get it, I'm not asking for free coffee or anything, but working in healthcare and in the customer service business. I do feel like this should have been handled differently. I even asked for a refund or a store credit and she also said no. So pretty much left with no coffee and no refund. Definitely spreading the word at work and not coming back to this place again. read more

Food: Drinks are so delicious! I've come here about 6 times already and I've always enjoyed my drink. They have specialty drinks with different flavors, as well as your classic coffee. I've also tried their acai bowls and breakfast sandwiches and they're great for breakfast! Service: friendly staff! Ambiance: Indoor and outdoor seating! I've studied here a few times and there's plenty of space! read more

Only downside is universal restroom that, as well as not the most comfortable seating... read more

The coffee corner has been a great spot for me to work at when I need a change of scenery or even a place to catch up with friends. I typically enjoy cold brew and one of the workers told me to try the blueberry infused cold brew. This was a game changer, I drink it on its own or add some oat milk to it. I believe they have a couple other infused cold brews, not sure what the names are, but love that they make these. Service is always great, everyone is very kind and welcoming in there. read more

This is about to be my go to spot when I come to Santee. read more

Cozy Autumn sweater season is upon us & l'm finding myself exploring the local coffee shops on my days teleworking & so excited about it! I ordered their "FUNKY MONKEY" coffee which includes mocha, coconut & banana & their WORKS medium acai bowl (includes peanut butter, granola, strawberries , & blueberries! After ordering, it came out within 5 minutes. The staff is super friendly and efficient! I honestly loved both of what I ordered. The latte was flavorful and the bowl for $10 was pretty filling! Definitely coming back here to telework and grab coffee on the go! I think I found my favorite local Santee coffee spot. read more

I agree with all the nice things. People said about the coffee and the atmosphere and the people that work here I just marked it down. A star because they don't let you put your own cream of sugar in and I'm kind of picky about the way my coffee tastes and want to get it right. But a lot of places are doing this these days. I guess they save money that way but it's not exactly what some customers want read more

Super cute and cozy inside, perfect for studying, they have the music at a low volume and tend to play relaxing songs! Very vibey, there is an abundance of seating/outlets as well. They offer sugar free syrups for their coffee and have a limited food menu as well (toasts/bagels/turkeys). Their açaí bowls seem to be a costumer favorite. I ordered an iced 16oz vanilla hazelnut latte, it was a bit milky but didn't disappoint me! I thought it was sweet and creamy. The inside and the kitchen area is well kept, and the costumer service is awesome. Very nice baristas working here and very short wait times. Will be back whenever I crave coffee while I'm in Santee. read more

Such a sweet little coffee shop I love to support. They have everything from drip coffee to fancy coffee- I especially enjoy their açaí bowls and recommend getting at least a medium or you will be bummed you didn't order more. The only reason I didn't give that extra star is I feel like they could do a little more with their outdoor area. read more
