Been here a few times, and they are prone on getting their drinks wrong. Ordered a mocha, got a regular latte, then I ordered a pumpkin spice, got a regular latte, and so on. Be sure to try your drink before you leave! read more

Great place to get a cup of coffee. Very good crowd of people that go there. The people that work there are very professional.

I like their cinnamon bun latte. And they also have a pretty good white mocha. It's a cute little corner coffee shop in Santee. Close to Mast Park so I could get a coffee here and walk to the park after. read more

I'm having fun exploring Santee and was given a wonderful recommendation to try Kaffee Meister from a local friend. Cold brew with 1/2 sweet coconut syrup was my delicious drink today...and it was nice sitting outside in the shade ...(it's a little noisy by the road but still lovely) And then right around the corner is an epic park ...Mast Park...and just a couple miles away is The Mission Trails Visitor Center and trail system. Good times kicking off summer in Santee! read more

We lived in Santee for 18 years and were so happy when Kaffee Meister moved in. Their Christian team was always courteous and efficient and served a tasty cup of coffee. The Viennese is my standard go-to and I've never had a problem. The only complaint is the price, hence, the 4 stars. read more

I have been here many times and found it fine. Today my friend ordered a dry capaccino. It was totally liquid! I asked about it and she kept saying there was some foam! I tried to say the cup should have been at least half full of foam. But she didn't get it. She did offer to redo it but I could tell that was pointless. The egg sandwich was a big square. Both coffee and egg bagel sandwich thrown away. They didn't seem to care. read more

Cute space, great coffee. All sizes get 2 shots of espresso. Decided on their Honey Lavender latte - delicious. Hubby wanted his usual Caramel Macchiato, so Caramel Latte is it. Kids got hot chocolate, my son described it tasted like marshmallow. Overall good! read more

Kaffee Meister - Honey Lavender Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santee, California

I really enjoy their coffee and the atmosphere! There have been a handful of staff I really enjoy and have gone above and beyond for my kids. They made them mini chocolate milks with whipped cream on top. The ambiance is living room vibes and makes it a nice place for studying or even a date night! read more

Their white mocha chefs kiss the employees AMAZING! The live music EVEN BETTER. A great place to do work, meet with a friend or just to enjoy coffee and watch cars go by. My fav spot in santee!! read more

It was my first time trying this coffee shop. Starting with the drink, I ordered a Soy Latte and it tasted alright. I have had better Latte so I'm feeling that the latte is average at best. The environment is great and is good for working and studying there. Cashier was warming. However, when I asked for recommendations for milk substitute choice for my drink, the cashier did not recommend and just informed me that I go with whatever I like. I would have expected a recommendation as I would have at any other coffee shops. Overall I would give it 3 stars. I hope I can raise the stars the next time I come back! (: read more

I absolutely miss living in La Mesa just because of how often I used to be able to frequent this coffee shop. Whenever I'm in the area you can bet I'm stopping here. The coffee is GOOD and they know it- if you sell your coffee grounds in easy to use k-cup pods, it's because the demand is there and you know your stuff is have it now, but also make it later, good. The prices are also so reasonable especially as the market continues to raise prices. I ordered my usual quad espresso, a hot coffee for my partner, a croissant egg sandwich and two blueberry muffins and the total was $17. STEAL. The muffins were warmed, soft and had a crumble top. The croissant egg sandwich was a hit with the kids (and the few bites I stole) They offer a great selection of pastries, oatmeal's, sandwiches, etc so you don't have to look too far for something to pair with your coffee. Extra plus? Parents! Mast park is right next door, walking distance, so get your items to go, energize yourself while you drain your kiddos energy- all while enjoying a comforting cup of coffee. read more

Super friendly staff and delicious coffee tucked inside an old barn house with an entrance into the antique shop section. I loved the vibe of this small cafe, it makes you feel like you are in an old train station. The only thing that kept me from rating the coffee 5 stars is the price. I paid $6 (or about) for a cup of coconut latte and it did feel a little over priced... read more

Kaffee Meister - Coconut latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santee, California

I would consider myself a regular. I find the staff there friendly. And they usually get it right. Today after water fitness class and breakfast I was craving their hot mocha that I find so delicious and satisfying. I get it ... sometimes people get it wrong and to err is human. After ordering my large mocha to go I immediately left. I sat at the stop light looking forward to my first sip. You know that first sip of chocolate mmmm.. and to my surprise and disappointment ... where is the chocolate?? Hmmmm .... Another sip taste like an unsweetened latte. To give them the benefit of the doubt on their error I looked at the cup and thought maybe the chocolate is on the bottom. I arrive home and ask my boyfriend what do you think. He sipped. He's so much better than me maybe it's on the spoon. ???? I think he was trying to make me feel better. I didn't want to go back. And thought you know it's bound to happen someone makes a mistake. I was unhappy and thought, I'll call the place and let them know. Hmmm ... I call. I was left again disappointed. I explained that I was just there and I ordered a mocha and it tastes like a latte. No chocolate. I just wanted to let them know so that someone else doesn't get disappointed and remind the staff to be mindful. The only response I got was I am sorry. I felt no empathy. It left me feeling worse as if it's no big deal. Just I'm sorry. I wasn't asking them to fix it. I just wanted to be acknowledged and for them to genuinely apologize for the error. I'm sharing this hoping to feel better. It's upsetting to drive to their coffee shop only to feel ignored and dismissed. If you read through all this, thank you!! Wishing you a positive coffee experience. read more

Absolutely loved this coffee shop! This was a recommendation from a friend and I loved it. I got to work from home here and the the wifi was actually great! I had the cold brew and it was high quality and strong! The customer service was awesome and that makes me want to come back. Parking was super convenient and provided a great experience. This ambiance was a mellow and relaxed vibe which was great to get work done. I will for sure be back. read more

We love everything Kaffee Meister has to offer! From the amazing fresh food, the fresh roasted coffee, and the fresh pastries in their beautiful new pastry cases! They make it a point to provide everything made from scratch! We love meeting our friends there for a great meal, it's warm and inviting every time! We feel so blessed to have found an amazing coffee shop since moving to North Idaho! Thank you guys for making us feel so welcome! read more

Nice "mom and pop"neighborhood coffee shop. Friendly and quick service. Prices are great. Simple menu. Be sure to try their locally brewed kombucha. Unpretentious atmoshpere. Always a great playlist of music softly playing. Lots of clean tables for those who want a chill place for studying. Parking lot is shared with a variety of shops and can be tight, especially on Saturday mornings. Check their hours as they tend to close early in the day Wish they still did open mic night. Go and check them out! read more

My husband is obsessed with this place. It's super cute inside and they also have evening events, such as live music. It's not like a Starbucks and is more intimate. It's what you would imagine a classic neighborhood coffee house to be like (like the coffee house in Friends LOL).. The coffee is nice, robust, strong and the food is also good. Check it out! read more

Great coffee, great environment, great people, the highlight of this place is there is a garden with plants and fountain in the backyard next to an antique store. A great place to bring friends. read more

First time here. Just wanted a flavored latte for the road. I'm on the other side of this display so I didn't see it until after ordering. I specifically asked the guy do you have any specialty lattes, I'd like a latte with some flavor. He did not mention any of these, just basically things on the main board. While waiting for my order I came on the other side and saw this. I would've enjoyed and ordered any of these specialty lattes. Maybe a little more enthusiasm for the customer sir? The latte I did get was delicious. read more

When I'm in the area, I'll stop here for a drink. Every time it's something different but the iced vanilla chai has been my favorite. I wish they used a little more ice in it, but still a solid beverage. I've been happy with anything I've ordered and that's why I stop by when I'm in Santee. FIVE STARS. read more

Cute coffee shop. Perfect space for sitting with friends, reading, or doing busy work on the computer. They have multiple fall flavors and were quick with my drink. The coffee wasn't super strong which is my only complaint. Might have just been the drink I bought but it's definately worth a second try. They have acai bowel which looked amazing! read more

One of my favorite places to study! Very cute decor, free Wifi, lots of comfy chairs and couches, plus the drinks are fairly priced and tasty. I like the kombucha on tap and have also gotten açai bowls here which were refreshing and good. The employees tend to be very friendly and helpful, plus there is a generally good atmosphere and energy inside. Would recommend to anyone looking to study or get coffee with a friend! read more

PROS: + vanilla latte + brown sugar latte + quick service + spacious interior + cute wooden tables + egg sandwich + easy parking CONS: - nothing really Enjoyed our visit. We will definitely come back :) read more

I can't believe I didn't leave a review sooner. This coffee shop is the BEST & one of my favorite local shops. Right when you walk inside it has a home, cozy feel with friendly customer service. The staff have always been great!!! I usually order something with vanilla whether it be a hot latte or frappe. I do enjoy substituting regular milk with oat milk. It makes it creamer and so delicious! There facility is always clean, staff are always very kind and it's a great place to stop by and get yourself a cup of "Kaffee". Highly recommend this coffee shop! read more

We came here for the first time this past Saturday and staff was very friendly. I was surprised how fast they got our drinks out as we were a large group. This is my favorite local spot. Very kid and dog friendly with restrooms and outdoor seating. read more

One of Santee's greatest gems! I absolutely love this coffee shop. It can be so hard to find a spot to study, but the students of Santee need not venture much further than Kaffee Meister. They have great drip coffee and even better, they offer junior acai bowls! Great for those of us who can never finish a whole one, lol. I love their coffee so much, i buy it by the pound to brew at home on days I can't come in! Also had a biscotti today and it was so damn good, it literally inspired me to come on here and write this, ha! The staff is awesome, too. Lindsay is so rad, and an awesome barista! She always goes above and beyond for me, and every customer i see come in there, and sometimes I'm sitting there for HOURS. Also, honorable mention to Katie, she's always killing it on food! But to be honest, i would name every employee if i could.. but sadly, I'm terrible with names. Alas. It's really is a great team at this place and that adds to the comforting ambience, i imagine. All around, the perfect coffee shop! read more

I was really hoping to write a bomb review because this is such an adorable establishment! The merch is awesome and ill definitely be back to snag a tee and a coffee mug...and someone please talk me out of purchasing a coffee burlap wall sign. Agh, love! The staff was super nice and very patient with me (first time there and taking forever to order) So the downfaaaallll... I ended up getting a Vanilla Cold Brew w/ cream & a BLT sandwich for myself and a waffle w/ strawberries & black coffee for hubs. My sandwich was edible but not great. The BBQ sauce on it is good but the bacon was stretchy, the lettuce was sad, and the ciabata bread was hard. My coffee was watery and I forced myself to finish it. I'll give this place another try in the future. Maybe I'll check out the other reviews to decide my next order. read more

Kaffee Meister - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santee, California

Very good coffee, decent pastry, good food items. The atmosphere is good, not too noisy and not 100% laptop users. It is fun to watch the high-schoolers "studying" - phones tapping, the one nerd (with whom I identified) showing the girls how to do their math homework, unaware that they were not going to date him in a million years... but I digress. You can buy bags of expensive coffee beans to take home. While the pastry is good it isn't special. Service is good but if you order food it is not fast -- at least the three days I've been there. But, it is good quality. read more

If you like a quiet environment where you can get your work done, this is not the place for you. I've come to this coffee shop a couple of times to study, but I end up regretting it. A lot of families come in here and play games with their kids, so it ends up getting very noisy. The coffee is good, as well as the service. read more

The servers were nice enough. Unfortunately, there are no fans inside, so no air flow which made for hot seating inside even with coffee drinks on ice. Also, we ordered classic Turkey sandwiches, which were good, but on ciabatta bread, which was not posted on the menu. Also, I had to go back and ask for more lettuce. Mine came with 1 little piece while my sister's sandwich had a good amount of lettuce. All in all, it was good, but for 2 seniors the bill came to over $30 for 2 small flavored coffees and 2 small sandwiches. read more

Kaffee Meister is an almost perfect combination of: - Early opening hours (5:30 a.m. Mon-Sat) - Pleasant staff who are apparently hired for their skill and lack of snottiness - Expertly-crafted espresso drinks, served with those little cookies! - Comfortable, spacious seating arrangement - Pleasant music that assists, rather than hinders, the work effort - Electrical outlets and strong, reliable Wi-Fi - Gift cards and cool schwag - Plentiful parking (especially at 5:30 a.m.!) - A location in Santee that's easy-to-reach from points East and West Kaffee Meister (like Santee Town Center's Coffee Corner) seems to be an occasional meeting place for Bible study and other religious purposes. I am intrigued by businesses that are supportive of such activities, as they seem determined that office workers, hipsters and bleary-eyed college students not have all the fun. I mention the fact believing that, while Kaffee Meister would never intentionally make a non-religious patron feel unwelcome, some people might find walking into such an environment awkward.

This place opened a few month ago. I came by for a Americano, a breakfast sandwich, and to get some reading done. I had the 12 oz Americano, the breakfast croissant with scrambled eggs, Canadian Bacon, cheddar cheese, with a pesto spread. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kaffee-meister-santee-2?select=aGEPA4sJgT7BJwgdrlQ0Gg#9uhe9_3vgTl-wzVYJo3oFw) Both came to about $5. The croissant was petite but yummy. The pesto was good, and the croissant, from Bread & Cie was very good. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kaffee-meister-santee-2?select=aGEPA4sJgT7BJwgdrlQ0Gg#-DU03yzn5201czDeNAvh_w) The Canadian bacon and scrambled eggs were both warm and tasted good. Overall, a very good successful breakfast sandwich. The Americano was very good and it came with a small cookie on the side. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kaffee-meister-santee-2?select=B0hqQAZGrUqOrthv_wTvkw#B0hqQAZGrUqOrthv_wTvkw) The cookie was a nice little dessert. The place makes a variety of coffees, hot chocolate, and teas. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kaffee-meister-santee-2?select=B0hqQAZGrUqOrthv_wTvkw#t7LAP0ANJYGk5ntqTu2rtA) There is plenty of seating inside (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kaffee-meister-santee-2?select=B0hqQAZGrUqOrthv_wTvkw#CNVKIe97VvE0AR5QpGM8-A) and outside. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kaffee-meister-santee-2?select=B0hqQAZGrUqOrthv_wTvkw#wimPy8rA-78HXlKjn26OKQ) I noticed they had plugs for laptops and Wi-Fi, but I am not sure whether it is free or not. The owners and people who work here are very nice and hospitable. This a cool spot, and I am sure to stop in again, when I am in the area. read more
