    Perky turkey
    Casper W.

    Wow! This place is so great! The vibe inside is awesome and the customer service is great. Not to the mention the Carmel Macchiato with oat milk was perfect! I also tried the Perky Turkey oh my goodness so freakin good! I will be returning! Definitely deserves 5 stars

    Toast is nicely toasted and evenly spread with the Tuxedo iced coffee!! Delicious!!

    It's hard to find a good coffee shop now and days! This coffee is amazing, i ordered the avocado toast on artisan bread, cream cheese, topped with everything bagel toppings!! Delicious, and the service is fast wonderful! Definitely coming back! Thank you Kaylin!

    Ice white chocolate mocha and hot chai

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Cinnamon Roll and Genieva Blended
    Elijah M.

    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!

    Geneiva coffee
    Gwyn C.

    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. Moist and full of flavor. Really like this place to work away from home. Look forward to finding the drink that's right for me here!

    Looks delicious, but very plain

    Took my son here this afternoon ordered something that's supposed to be extremely powerful. Ended up being regular coffee ice cubes and whipped cream. What a disappointment. The place is packed. It obviously serves other things that are nice.

    Iced Latte
    Jack M.

    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.

    Interior design

    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.

    Bagel + cream cheese

    Something about having to spread my own cream cheese was a bummer lol.Coffee wasn't bad for what it is.

Their offerings range from smoothies, juices, wraps and salads. They use fresh ingredients. The granola that they use isn't the Mexican kind but for me wasn't a big issue. We ordered a Large Fruit Salad to share and a mango smoothie as well as a green smoothie for my wife. The establishment was quiet for the most part. It was Sunday late afternoon. And service was relatively quick. The food was served quickly enough and the portions in the salad was good. My mango smoothie was good and not over the top sweet. I am definitely coming back for more!

Used to be a grilled cheese place which I never tried because I like meat in my sandwiches. Then the last owners I'm sad to say I didn't visit either but today I walked in and realized they have one of the best steak tortas I have had in the US. If you're from tj they are like the tortas at the "car wash" next to giussepis. If you know you know. Very nice sized bread, toasted on both sides with a chipotle sauce, fresh jalapeños, lots of avocado, the steak was fresh and delicious. Half a torta was enough to get me through for a while and now I have a great evening snack after Jiu Jitsu. Owner said the chicken torta was even better. Hard to believe but maybe I'll get one for the wife. They have Acai with champs like a Mangonada. It's a pretty cool spot that could become a staple if enough people find it.

Esmeralda, who made my order, was so friendly and welcoming, guiding me through the menu and letting me know that the Birria grilled cheese is a favorite. Now, about the sandwich--wow! It was buttery toasted and packed with an impressive amount of cheese and meat, truly a delightful indulgence. It also came with a side of consomé for dipping, along with a refreshing lime slice, which complemented the flavors perfectly. Fruitylicious offers a fantastic range of options since they've transitioned from being a cheese grill sandwich place to a full-service spot with both Mexican and American cuisine. Besides the grilled cheese, they also have ice cream, shakes, fruit juices, and specialty drinks that I can't wait to try on my next visit. If you're looking for a delicious meal and a warm atmosphere, I highly recommend stopping by. You won't regret it and bring the kids as they have Jenga and Connect for fun for the family.
