Iced Banana Matcha
Jamie P.

The quality of the matcha was not good. I stopped by because they had a promotion on the matcha but it was not good unfortunately.

Decor

They have unique drink and dessert menu. The decor is very posh and comfy. It is very warm inside, warmer inside than outside and there is no fans. Service was fast and pleasant. I enjoyed the hibiscus w/m tea (melon). refreshing and delicious.

Spanish latte
Alana Z.

I absolutely loved this cafe! Super robust menu with many treats and coffee flavors. The space itself has very cute decor and a lot of seating. The music was very relaxing, it seemed like a great place to study or get work done. The Spanish latte was very good, I appreciated how hot it was (I like my coffee hot!). The Dubai chocolate crepe was incredible, it had a lot of chocolate sauce which was appreciated.

Very cute and clean place. Great customer service. I got pistachio blended and lotus blended and it's very good. The pistachio is very creamy. The lotus drink also good. I also got the Dubai strawberry and it's very yummy. I like that the strawberry still crunch and not got burn/soft by hot chocolate. There are a lot of big pistachio crunch as well.

So far, not too bad. I got the Dubai crepe; shared it between 3 people and that was enough! The crepe was good. The strawberries and bananas tasted fresh. They have some flavored lattes that I would love to try next time. The place itself was clean and spacious. Server was friendly.

About 30$+

Good cafe with tasty drinks and great desserts. However, I wouldn't call it 5 stars because the price doesn't quite match the quality I've had better elsewhere. That said, I'd still come back and would recommend it to others.

Coffee

We stumbled upon this lovely coffee shop and what a delightful time we had. So it says it has Dubai roots and there are some items in the menu with some Dubai influence. So, we tried the Dubai croissant. Interesting and enjoyable. We had a cappuccino and a regular coffee. Well, 100 points of the coffee, it was great! Service was good. I guess the basics nowadays. You order at the register, pay, and they bring your order to your table. Ambiance was lovely. This place is small and charming and with lovely music. If you are in the area, give them a try, and share your experiences. You will love it.

Pistachio Latte

I visited in the evening time and was delightfully surprised to see a bunch of women of all ages spending quality time together in the cafe on a Friday evening! The place is a beautifully decorated ambiance with a peaceful and friendly atmosphere! I ordered a pistachio latte with almond milk and tried some of the little chocolate cakes from the pastry display and everything was delicious. Friendly service and quick turnaround time as well.

Dubai Chocolate Crepe
Annette R.

Fantastically delicious Dubai crepe. There are not a lot of savory options, so this place is great for your sweet tooth. Indoor wearing available. Weekend hours are not for early morning coffee drinkers.

Pistachio Latte
Jack M.

Shaghf Cafe finds it origin in Dubai. Apparently, they are a beloved chain in Dubai with only a few location in the United States, including not this one here in El Cajon, California. They offer a variety of espresso based beverages and refreshers, not to mention frappes, but I decided on a iced pistachio latte simply because it sounded good, and good it was. Actually, it tasted great. I liked the flavor of the coffee. The coffee actually comes from Dubai and it is a great roast. The flavor of the coffee was up front and personal and delicious. The pistachio was more subtle and offered hints of it towards the end. It was very well balanced in my opinion. I hear that it is as delicious hot. They offer a melee of delicious looking desserts, acai bows, and pastries. There's a good amount of comfortable inside seating. The service was very friendly. The young lady at the counter was sweet and quite informative. I look forward to returning.

Latte
siri g.

Super friendly staff and plenty of parking. I went on a Saturday morning right when they opened, and it wasn't too busy. I had a latte and a pistachio croissant, which was really good--not overly sweet, just the right balance. The vibe was really cool too. The only thing I'd suggest improving is the cutlery; the plastic knife and fork made it a bit tricky to cut the croissant. Other than that, I'd definitely recommend this spot!

Dessert selections
Paul D.

We only had two coffees and shared a pistachio croissant so consider the rating a mere estimate. The capp and Americano were very good. The croissant was very large, covered with pistachio sweet cream and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios. At first it was too sweet for my taste but it grew on me. The place is comfortable and fairly busy. The woman who took orders at the counter doubled as the server. The coffees and food arrived slightly slower than expected out of the kitchen. Another customer came over to inquire in a friendly way if we, obviously not Arabs, were enjoying it and describing his own long journey from Bagdad to Europe to Canada to Oracle San Jose and US citizenship. We look forward to trying more of the dessert choices.

@shaghf.sandiego is a recently open cafe in @elcajon.city, the vibe is so cozy and spacious, i got to try their Dubai chocolate crepe, Knowing myself that i'm not a fan of Dubai chocolate but this crepe was an absolute love, the level of sweetness was right on point, the stuffed kunafa was generously added in.

A Hidden Gem! Exceptional Food & Vibes ​If you haven't been…read moreto Tappi's Cafe yet, you are seriously missing out. I stopped in recently and was blown away by the entire experience from start to finish. ​The Food ​First and foremost, the food is delicious. You can tell they use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. Whether you're looking for a solid caffeine fix or a full meal, they absolutely nail the menu. ​The Service ​The service here is top-notch. The staff is incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. I didn't have to hunt anyone down for a refill or a napkin; they were proactive and made me feel right at home. It's clear they take pride in what they do. ​The Ambiance ​The atmosphere is just "right." It has a really nice ambiance, chic yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for a productive work session, a catch-up brunch with friends, or even a relaxed solo date. The lighting and decor create a vibe that makes you want to stay for "just one more" coffee. ​The Verdict: Tappi's Cafe is the real deal. Great food, stellar service, and a beautiful space. I'll definitely be back soon! ​Highly recommended!

The menu is long and varied. There is definitely something for everyone here. We ordered a decaf cappuccino to start. Warning, unless you specify a regular size they will bring you the large, 16 ounce by default. I would prefer if they asked what size we wanted first. We ordered the shakshuka, the veggie georgian cheese pie and the soufflé pancake. The pancake takes 20-30 minutes and cones with a bit of whip cream some fruit and syrup. Overall the shakshuka and the pie were very good. The soufflé pancake was a bit of a let down. Let's just say I've had better Japanese soufflé pancakes elsewhere. I would likely go back and try some of their other dishes.

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.

I love their chorizo bowl, Benedict, or the ability to make my own dish with the affordable sides menu (hashbrowns + hollandaise is the best!) Ive dabbled in their lunch menu and really enjoyed it, especially the potato soup! I usually crave breakfast food when im here, though Make sure you get the megamosa- a giant mimosa, its perfect any time of the day.

I met some friends here for breakfast on Sunday morning. It was busy, but not overwhelmingly so.

Some planters or other decor on the patio might liven up the space a bit. Sheldon's has a large breakfast / brunch / lunch menu, offers an assortment of baked goods, as well as lots of drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. It is situated in a former gas station, and I love how the space has been repurposed. The service was fine and appropriate. Our food came out very quickly. My breakfast bowl was freshly & simply prepared. The hash browns were a little dry, but the salsa & guacamole helped to jazz up the whole thing. Without the salsa, it did not have a whole lot of flavor, but it was edible, and also reasonably priced at $12.05. The soup and sandwich and açai bowl both looked fresh as well. My companions enjoyed their food. All in all, this is a cute place for a quick bite to eat in a pleasant and casual atmosphere when you're in the La Mesa area. Mahalo!
