    Found this hidden gem tucked inside a business plaza/ industrial complex look closely for the coffee sign. I ordered the large cookie butter latte with breve, and it was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with a smooth espresso flavor and subtle Biscoff notes. I paired it with a Biscoff cookie butter scone, which was soft, flavorful, and not dry at all. Customer service was friendly and welcoming, prices were very reasonable, and they offer a wide variety of pastries to choose from. Plenty of parking available. No indoor or outdoor seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go. Must try, you won't be disappointed.

    Came here to try the Cookie Butter Latte...... WOW!! Will be coming back again! Cute little set up and good price for what their size served!

    This place is definitely a little hidden gem. It is located inside of "Le Caramel" in El Cajon, CA. They are on the corner of Pioneer Way and Vernon Way for reference. I picked up and iced Americano with whole milk and a homemade pumpkin loaf topped with pumpkin seeds, both for$5. The pumpkin loaf was exceptional in flavor and texture. It was not overly sweet and offered a great natural pumpkin flavor. It was super soft and moist. I loved the addition of the pumpkin seeds on the outside. The Americano was very well made. It was super smooth and delicious. I had with a touch of cinnamon with took it over the top for me. They offer a variety of terrific baked goods, including scones, sliced loaves, cookies, and rolls. They also offer teas and house made energy beverages. The service is very friendly and welcoming. If you are a coffee and wholesome baked goods fan like me, definitely check this place out!

    Here's the opening announcement!

    If you want to know how good the coffee actually is, an Americano will do the trick! I had an iced french toast Americano, which was perfect - strong, slightly sweet. My bestie had a hot, cookie butter latte. There are also several different types of baked goods like cookies and quick bread at a super reasonable price. Service is friendly and quick - this is an independent business, so be patient - there's only the business owner! They're housed in a cute, little shop that also includes an independent, artisanal caramel maker and someone who creates unique gift baskets. No seating at the moment, but you won't be disappointed by the yummy things they have to offer! If you're into supporting indies over corporate giants - this is a great place to try!

    Banana foster latte

    What a cute little spot!!! I happened upon it on accident this morning when on my way home from work and was looking for some coffee and a snack... they open at 0400 hours in the AM! So Apple Maps suggested it for breakfast. I was so shocked they were actually open... it's unheard of in East County. Super cute spot inside Le Carmel. Super clean, every flavor coffee imaginable and homemade on site baked goods to choose from. Their pumpkin bread is to die for. So fresh flavorful and m*ist lol delish. I ordered the bananas foster latte and there was 1.5 fresh bananas blended into the milk... so awesome and yummy! I'll totally be back! What a sweet little spot. Check it out! Very easy to miss due to the location in the industrial area but totally worth the stop. Thank you for making my morning!

    Small shop inside Le Caramel on Pioneer. All her own recipes which she rotates. We are obsessed with the multi cheese scones and ordered a dozen for holiday dinner. Creative list of hot and cold beverages made as you watch. Every order seems to be better than the last. We are so glad we found Vanilla Oasis and enjoy new treats every week. Open midweek - go early to try the full selection of amazing baked goods. Great place to order from!

    Iced Salted Caramel Macchiato and an oat milk latte
    Sheena O.

    I was looking for a new coffee spot and sick of the same old chain options. I got an oat milk latte and a huge Carmel Iced Coffee for my guy. My latte has such a nice flavor, and I don't add any sweetener! My boyfriend said his was so good it had him zipping around at work! Great price for the great tasting drinks!

I was on my way to church and needed an early cup and was surprised how many shops were not open at 7 AM. I'm sure I could have found a Starbucks but that's always reserved for a last resort. Big props to this spot being open early on a Sunday morning, so I could make it to church prayed up and fully caffeinated. The barista opened right on time (7 AM) I loved how friendly she was for it being that early, and she got me my drink within 3-4 minutes. I am not a big coffee drive-thru guy, but if I lived in the area, especially knowing it is veteran owned, I might become one. Thanks guys and best of luck!

I unfortunately chose the wrong line and got stuck behind this cop who was ordering but also decided to get out and help capture a lost dog which made 3 other cars cut in line ahead of me... the workers were very sweet and noticed I had been waiting and came out right away to help and make sure I got my order taken! The la mesa latte was super yummy and while I'm not the biggest fan of cold foam on lattes this one was pleasantly good! I had also gotten a bagel with cream cheese which I don't believe was toasted and would say that was the only downside but the delicious amount of cream cheese definitely helped.

    My new favorite coffee spot! I'm currently in my pandan obsession era and this place does it RIGHT…read more I've already been back more times than I can count. So far, I've tried the pandan, the brown sugar, and the sesame latte all iced w/ oat milk and they've all been a hit. The pandan is easily my fave, but if you're trying the brown sugar and don't love super sweet drinks I'd recommend adding an extra shot to balance it out. The drinks are consistently good and you can tell they really care about the quality. It's one of those spots you keep thinking about and end up going back to without even planning it. Customer service was solid and there's plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to hang out or get some work done. Parking was also easy, which is always a win. Highly recommend checking this place out especially if you're a pandan lover like me!

It would usually take a half hour to get a simple drink order. Food that was previously wow turned into meh (I'm looking at you, shashuka). I don't blame the baristas. I don't think the business owners ever properly streamlined their ordering process / menu to get items out effectively. I hope we get something nice to replace this space.

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!

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.

As soon as I walked in the doors, it was decorated so cute. Very colorful, vibrant, and designed to impress. I also noticed they take pride in keeping their little coffee shop clean. I noticed the menu is extensive and impressive. So, if you are needing a new coffee shop to try, hang out, or simply to replace Starbucks, here they are! The coffee was high quality, smooth, and loaded with flavor. I wanted to give a special shout out to Sandi and Daniel because they told me it was a family-run business. They were friendly, professional, and hospitable to me. I loved the personal connection I felt which made me feel right at home. It is located in Spring Valley on Campo Road tucked away. They are a hidden gem that must be experienced. I need to come back with my appetite because they have it all here. Thank you Sandi and Daniel for giving the small-town friendly coffee experience that is rare to experience in a big city.
