The Coffee Corner - chocolate croissant & small Havana latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santee, California

I went to The Coffee Corner on a Friday afternoon when I was at a shop nearby and felt the need for a pick-me-up. I didn't expect much, as I went in only because I saw the sign from the parking lot. I walked in and it was neat and cute, with a large area that was tastefully decorated, with fall touches. I found it to be comfortable, and it would be a nice place to read or study. I was impressed by the prices, as I feel like buying a coffee these days turns into a $6-7 investment for a medium drink. Here, there were lots of options for $4-5. They had regular coffee and cold brew ,and additionally a menu of specialty drinks. I wanted something more interesting, but I don't care for very sweet drinks. The woman working the counter was friendly, talked about the levels of sweetness and offered to bring it down to half or a third of the sweetness. With that in mind, I was able to enjoy an iced coconut lavender latte. I would probably have asked for it to be even a bit less sweet, but otherwise the flavor was delicious. Unexpectedly, I found flakes of coconut in my drink which was a nice touch. They also had some cute items for sale, such as iced coffee cups and thermoses. I didn't buy any, but I was tempted. I rarely ever get out to Santee, but if I am ever shopping in the area, I will absolutely stop by The Coffee Corner for a drink! read more

This was a popular place for local Santee-ans. The staff was friendly; the croissant sandwich was nothing out of the ordinary, and the coffee was nondescript. Our group agreed that this spot would not make our cravings list; however, if you are in the area it is a good alternative to a chain. We did hear from domine in line that the smoothies were excellent. Maybe we just didn't try their specialty? @saturdaydelights #saturdaydelights @sturdygirlstyle #sturdygirlstyle read more

The Coffee Corner - Large latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santee, California

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

Great little spot. My go to for coffee and açaí bowl. Can never go wrong with either one. They could do a little better when calling out an order when busy. It can get confusing when they call out the order and not the name they ask you for to put on the order. If read more

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

Lovely neighborhood coffee shop. Good coffee, nice ambiance, central location and staff are friendly enough. Great place for meeting up with friends. read more

This is a typical coffee shop in a town center. There are some tables outside and inside you have few more seating areas. I like the setup inside because it is very conducive to grab your coffee, sit, and read a book or do your work. It is Monday 12noon and not too crowded. I ordered the caramel macchiato, and it is not too sweet, which is good because at some places the barista will add too much caramel. read more

One of the best coffee shops in santee. Their coffee is full of flavor and is so smooth. Love this place

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

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

Amazing coffee! They have great flavor options and are so kind! My favorite drink is the California with almond milk iced.

Great tasting Coffee and Breakfast croissant. I like that we can preorder and just pick up. The employees are always with a smile and upbeat. read more

Fantastic. Clean ambience. Very friendly staff. Decent prices. And the three drinks we got were quite yummy. Would absolutely return.

Not a pleasant experience for my first time coming here. Stood in line waiting for my order to be taken while an employee just stood there looking at me and the individual behind me. The individual behind me then asked if she could go in front of me...as I stood confused that she didn't offer to help the next customer. She said oh, I thought you were here for DoorDash. She then proceeds to talk under her breath while making my drink to her coworker looking at me and laughing. Be professional. read more

Here's the facts. If Coffee Corner is closed no one gets coffee that's how amazing their coffee is.

Tried this place on a lark, very good. I just wish they were open on Sundays. We tried the Corner Joy, and the Milky way. Both were very tasty. I do with the corner joy had a little more amaretto flavor but it was still good. The Milky way was almost like biting into a liquid Milky way, you could taste every aspect of it. The gooey Carmel to the chewy nouget. Def will be back to try other drinks in the future. read more

This place is so cute. It has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well as a couch loft. They have drink and food options including sweet or savory Waffles. I tried both seasonal coffees. They were not super sweet which I appreciated but I wish the coffee and seasonal flavoring had been stronger because it was a little too milky. read more

I like small honest businesses. I believe that it adds to the small town feel that santee has. I've had an opportunity to thoroughly try this shop before I made my decision to post this review. A couple things I don't like is taking advantage of the consumer, Costco muffins at $6 per re wrapped and Costco croissants which are already an insult to croissants is an absurdity. The service is descent, a 6.75 out of 10 but the sugar saturated lattes and stale repackaged store bought beans is a no for me. A latte consists of actual coffee and espresso not sugary syrups to conceal the flavor or weak store bought coffee. If you're going to charge the consumer then give them quality, give a latte and make it the best, use a local baker and organic meats. Give the very best and take pride in what you sell. read more

I haven't been here in a while, but my order was just as good as ever! I ordered a blended Tuxedo for the first time like 5 or 6 years ago. And every time I've been there since, I've ordered the exact same thing. Usually I'm adventurous and like trying new things when I go places, but the Tuxedo is just SO GOOD, so there's no reason to change my order. Anyway, the atmosphere is super cute, has good drinks, definitely recommend this place! read more

This place has the worst customer service. I've been avoiding writing a review about this because I am a very loyal customer for ONE drink I like but every single time I come here I feel the same negative, rude energy with little to no greeting or smile ever. They also don't call your drink out when it is ready so they could see you sitting there waiting for a while and just not say a word to you (it's a very small space). And my drink was absolute trash today so I won't be coming back. read more

Delicious TBA and Belgian waffle. Staff was friendly and helpful. The shop is cute with ample seating during prime coffee / breakfast hours. Lots of students working and collaborating... evidence of comfort and good atmosphere. :) read more

Best mom & pop coffee shop in East County HANDS DOWN. The best quality and service. I am obsessed with their coconut lavender lattes... I could drink it every day and if I had to pick something for the last thing I drank on earth.... This latte would 10000% be in the running. Both this location and their smaller store front / drive thru location off Mast have almost identical menus and the same great service. I wish they both opened earlier for us early morning workers but it's amazing every time I get to go. I lt's pricey but I would much rather spend my money here than Starbucks... I've also had their Acai bowls and they're baked goods. Everything is good. Can't go wrong here. read more

Usually I go here and get an açaí bowl with peanut butter, but today I wanted to add in a blueberry scone. Service is always nice. I ate my açaí bowl, headed home and about two hours later I decided I wanted the scone, and when I opened it, there were multiple pieces of mold. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, it's the morning after Christmas and they out source for these I believe. But, perhaps checking them prior to placing out, and now purchase as the consumer. read more

Great coffee! I just get an iced caramel macchiato but it was Delicious. Service is great. it's a small spot but cute.

I need to file a complaint... because I am now addicted to these açaí bowls. If I could have one every single day I would. I have tried açaí bowls from SO many different places. Doesn't compare. I work right beside Coffee Corner and I struggle every day not to throw my meal prep away and go get one. I was also going to take a picture of mine today to post on here but I ate it before I remembered to do it. Also the people that work here are always so sweet! read more

Great service, friendly atmosphere. Enjoyed the background music. Everyone was considerate of each other and did not talk too loud. Nice selection of coffee and teas. read more

They made a decision to only take online orders. They don't pick up their phone to call in advance. I would typically go there twice a week. I guess I'll go somewhere else I have tried to call over 5 times in the last 2 week with no answer. Have nothing but good experiences with staff in the past but. I don't need training how to order something online. I'm not sure if you need training on how to pick up the phone or have staff available to do it. again it feels like a policy has change. Customer service does not seem to be important. Nothing negative against the staff. They have always been helpful in the past read more

This is my favorite place to sit with a friend for coffee. Their açaí bowl is delicious!

The staff here are very nice and the atmosphere is very comforting. I am not too much a fun of the lattes. The lattes there have a coconut after taste. I'm not sure if it's the oatmilk I ordered with it or if it is the coffee grounds they use. I asked my mom if she thought the same and my husband and both agreed. I have gone back 2 more times and those times as well had a coconut taste. If I loved coconut it wouldn't be a problem but when you're expecting a coffee taste and not a big coconut fan it isn't the best. read more

Unique and classic coffee items on their menu! I thought they were reasonably priced and the coffee was delicious. I got a classic latte but want to come back and try a more interesting latte like the Milky Way. The are tables available to enjoy coffee and parking was very easy as well. The staff were kind and helpful! read more

Harmony, Kylie and Ash are the best. I come here almost everyday and they always remember my order and are just so nice:)

Great vibe, great service. I like to pick up a mocha after a workout. A lovely little jewel.

The coffee is great! Amazing actually, I normally get every coffee on their menu and they never disappoint. Sadly the customer service is extremely crap. I have to come in here knowing they're going to roll there eyes at me and when I say thank you, awkward silences and not even a half smiles. Great coffee, weird environment. read more
