Cold brew with pumpkin cold foam

Very comfortable ambience amazing prices, and delicious coffee! Personally, I would not recommend the avocado toast, but the Geneva coffee, cold brew w pumpkin cold foam, and Açaí bowl are my top picks! All the girls are so nice!

This was my second time coming here, and I came back because I genuinely really liked this café the first time. I ordered a latte and was honestly shocked by the price of $3.64 for a 12oz latte in San Diego in 2026?! That's almost unheard of And the crazy part is it tasted just as good as some of the $6-7 lattes I've had around the city. I also got an everything bagel with cream cheese, and it was toasted perfectly. One thing I really like about this place is the seating setup. They have study bars, smaller tables, bigger tables for groups, and even some cozy couches up a few steps which makes the space feel a little unique. There are outdoor tables too if you want to sit outside. I really enjoyed my visit this time and ended up spending a few hours reading and getting some work done.

Hammerhead coffee
Graciela A.

Tried this little hidden spot while my son was at the orthodontist next door, so happy I found it! As soon as your walk in the smell of coffee just hits you and I loved it! I ordered the hammerhead which is their cold brew with expression shot ( yes I know!) address some oat milk and vanilla! It was so good and definitely have me a morning boost. My only complaint is that I would've liked a bit more ice as I didn't drink my coffee right away. The girls that were working were super friendly and welcoming as well!

Iced oatmilk matcha latte
Crystal B.

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.

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.

Perky turkey

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

Coffee is good. Service is quick. Ambience is nice and pleasantly quiet in the morning.

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
Lauren C.

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

Waffle
Ed M.

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!

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.

I absolutely love coming to Broken Yolk! The service is always wonderful, the food is delicious,…read moreand the coffee is great. The staff truly make you feel like family--they are so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about making sure you're well taken care of. The food is always so good! I especially loved the Belgian waffles with fresh strawberries--they were delicious! I also ordered eggs, hash browns, and sausage links. Everything was tasty and satisfying. The eggs were just a little warm, but they were still good. I also really enjoy the atmosphere here. It's calm, comfortable, and inviting, with plenty of comfortable seating. The restaurant is clean and has such a warm, welcoming feel. You can really tell that the staff care about their customers, and that makes such a difference. I always enjoy my visits and look forward to coming back. If you're looking for a great breakfast, friendly service, delicious food, and a place where you feel like family, I definitely recommend Broken Yolk!

We enjoyed a really good breakfast at Broken Yolk in Santee on a sunny Sunday morning…read more We arrived around 9:45 and the dining room was already hopping pretty good. We are bar sitters and found the "hook" open, so we took our seats. Luke was our bartender/server for the day. Luke provided excellent service. Super friendly dude. We hope that your knee is fixed Luke! A mimosa for Becky and a Modelo "NFL" for me to start. Bex ordered the Meat Lover's Skillet. Diced ham, bacon and sausage sauteed with bell peppers, onions, and home fries. Topped with scrambled eggs, Jack cheese and green onion. I chose a side of Biscuits and Gravy as I knew I would be sharing in the skillet. After about a 10-minute wait, our food was delivered. It was piping hot fresh out of the kitchen. Bex decided that she wanted a side of sourdough toast, Luke had it to us in less than two minutes, despite his bum knee. The skillet was a very large portion and easily fed us both with plenty to take home. Every component of the skilled was excellent. From the breakfast potatoes on the bottom to the gooey Jack cheese on top. The eggs were scrambled and seasoned well. The biscuits were super dense and really tasty. The gravy was thick and peppery. I did not need two biscuits. I only finished one. Only One biscuit with an additional ladle of gravy would have been perfect. It had been a while since our last visit to Broken Yolk. We were very impressed with the food and the service.

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...

I came to this coffee shop on a Friday evening for a card show/ trade show. The shop stayed open…read morepast their business hours and trading card vendors were set up around the shop. Inside the shop they allowed people to bring their own trading card collection to trade with each other. They had specialty drinks made specifically for the show, Pokemon themed. There's a good amount of seating inside and seems like a good place to hang out or study. They have different books and board games around the shop too. I tried two drinks when I came. I got the coconut matcha because it was one of the themed drinks but wasn't impressed with it. I probably should've known better than to order matcha at a coffee shop but I'm a sucker for coconut. For my second (redemption) drink I got the Samoa which was a mocha, coconut, and caramel latte. This one was delicious. It had a great coffee flavor with a nice smooth caramel companion. It wasn't overly sweet and not bitter at all. The baristas were all great too. My drinks came out quickly despite it being busy with the show. Definitely a great coffee shop to check out!

Becky and I only get fancy coffee from a fancy coffee shop if we are with people who want fancy…read morecoffee from a fancy coffee shop. Becky and I are not well versed in the world of fancy coffee, so we typically rely on those we are with to provide recommendations. Saturday we were on our own. We wanted a late afternoon pick-me-up and Kaffee Meister is a very short distance from our house. I walked in and was warmly greeted by the pleasant young woman behind the counter (I did not catch her name). I asked for two caramel iced coffees. She very nicely and patiently explained to me the different options of my generic "iced coffees" term. Lattes, cold brews, espressos, etc. Her recommendation was Caramel Frappes, so that is what I ordered. One with whipped cream (for Becky) and mine without. As I waited, I looked around the room. It was really cool. Very homey, neighborhood cafe vibe. A few tables and a couch and comfy chairs along with some tables and chairs dotted the room. The room was really nicely decorated. I liked the spiral staircase shelving. They have some outdoor seating as well. In addition to coffees, they offer a food menu. Pastries, bagels, açaí bowls, sandwiches and the like. I drive by Kaffee Meister almost daily and often I will see that they have live music which is cool. I waited maybe three or four minutes for my name to be called, and I was handed my two frappes. I like a simple cup o' Joe. Black, no sugar, no sweeteners. At home I drink Kirkland brand ground coffee from a drip coffee maker. That said, I really enjoyed the Caramel Frappe. It was not too sweet and retained subtle coffee flavor. Becky very much enjoyed hers too. Neither of us had ever had a frappe before. We were surprised by the milkshake-like creamy texture. They provided the perfect pick-me up we were looking for. About 17 bucks after tip. We'd return for sure.
