I like trying new coffee spots and so I checked out The Coffee Corner. I ordered the, "California" which is Espresso, White Chocolate and Caramel. I added Vanilla Cold Form with an extra shot. This was delightful. It was sweet, but not overly sweet and creamy. I really liked this coffee. They have a nice menu of coffee and a variety of styles with unique names. I want to try Milky Way next time because that sounded delicious. The service was very friendly and welcoming. This coffee is so cute. I love wood so the wood furniture is a great touch. read more

It's been a while since I visited, although for the most part everything was the same. Spacious seating inside and outside. They have outlets and comfy seats. The lighting is warm with a few plants here and there. The menu font is a bit small, I think they could benefit on having it slightly bigger or lowered a little. I've always been a fan of their chocolate orange mocha, but this time around it really missed the mark for me. Usually it would remind me of the Trader Joe's chocolate orange. We got the Iced 24 or 20 oz, I believe. I asked for the biggest they had. The chocolate tasted very light (reminiscent of a milk chocolate) and thin. I was able to taste the orange notes. The espresso was definitely lost in the drink. I wish the balance had been better, I do like the price of this drink though-- I thought it was quite fair! The girls working were kind and soft spoken. They got the drinks out in a timely manner as well. I'll come back, maybe to try a different flavor since there's multiple on the menu! read more

False advertisement on some pricing. I ordered a medium iced Carmel macchiato which says $4.95 on their board and when she was inputting my order into the register I saw a charge for ICE .50 cents!!!!!! I asked about it and she said it had something to do with their cups SO! Just be aware that you will be charged an EXTRA .50 for LESS actual drink!!!!!!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I didn't get the cashier's name, but she was friendly and helpful. The service is very fast and accurate. I ordered a Belgian waffle and an iced matcha latte with oat milk. It was sweet but not sugary. I was happily surprised. Usually they are just green sugar at other places I go to but this place was a light sweet without it rushing my blood sugar. The ambiance is cozy but not crowded. I hope that makes sense. It is clean but cozy. Sometimes when I hear cozy, it's busy or crowded with stuff, but this is cozy in a clean and spacious way. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Clean and simple space. Plenty of seating, decor was minimal but also aesthetically pleasing. The ladies behind the counter were awesome. We had the matcha latte, some frappe and the Belgian waffle. The prices were affordable and actually shocked me (am I just used to paying $8 for coffee now?! who am I.) read more

Had the genieva and it was ok. Expected more of a toffee thank milky taste but overall good cup of coffee. Very interesting flavors offered. Lemon raspberry muffin is very good. Moist and full of flavor. Really like this place to work away from home. Look forward to finding the drink that's right for me here! read more

I recently moved out of the area and I'm SO SAD about it. This is the best coffee shop in Santee/El Cajon hands down. Great menu and plenty of seating to do work or get together with others. Service is fast and the workers are always kind. read more

This is my go to in Santee. Their cold brew is the best in Santee in my opinion. They offer 3 different varieties with very different flavor profiles. The blueberry is surprising good and the Grog is always reliable. I haven't had one in ages but their acai bowls were always really good. read more

The service was great at the Town Center Parkway, and the food was great as well. I recommend this location.

This is the best coffee place in town. Chai tea latte and Geneva are fantastic. Best part of Coffee Corner is the employees. Everyone is friendly and very patient (even when we have been there and some customers have been rude to the staff for no real reason). The place is very cute and cool to hang out, absolutely love this place. Big shout out to Ashlyn and Susie the managers for always being friendly and greeting everyone! read more

What a cool coffee shop here in Santee. Cashier was friendly, gave me the WiFi password without hesitation when asked. I asked if it was alright to setup and scan some documents and she said sure, we've got power outlets everywhere. Oh, the coffee? I don't drink coffee but the iced tea was delicious and refreshing. Menu isn't extensive which is a good thing in my book and the ambience is top notch. Done in wood tables and counters with wood and metal stools. Plenty of outdoor space too. First time here but I'll be back. read more

If you haven't visited Coffee Corner yet then you are missing out! The coffee shop is super cute and a perfect spot to grab a coffee and a snack and work from a laptop!

Only downside is universal restroom that, as well as not the most comfortable seating... read more

My husband and I came here one time and ordered the German Chocolate Iced Latte. That latte is the reason we keep coming back here.

ALSO the service is incredibly fast here! The ambiance is amazing and the people who work there are friendly and personable. Thank you coffee corner. read more

The coffee corner has been a great spot for me to work at when I need a change of scenery or even a place to catch up with friends. I typically enjoy cold brew and one of the workers told me to try the blueberry infused cold brew. This was a game changer, I drink it on its own or add some oat milk to it. I believe they have a couple other infused cold brews, not sure what the names are, but love that they make these. Service is always great, everyone is very kind and welcoming in there. read more

I ordered their "FUNKY MONKEY" coffee which includes mocha, coconut & banana & their WORKS medium acai bowl (includes peanut butter, granola, strawberries , & blueberries! After ordering, it came out within 5 minutes. The staff is super friendly and efficient! I honestly loved both of what I ordered. The latte was flavorful and the bowl for $10 was pretty filling!

I agree with all the nice things. People said about the coffee and the atmosphere and the people that work here I just marked it down. A star because they don't let you put your own cream of sugar in and I'm kind of picky about the way my coffee tastes and want to get it right. But a lot of places are doing this these days. I guess they save money that way but it's not exactly what some customers want read more

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
