    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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!

    Geneiva coffee

    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!

    Looks delicious, but very plain

    Took my son here this afternoon ordered something that's supposed to be extremely powerful. Ended up being regular coffee ice cubes and whipped cream. What a disappointment. The place is packed. It obviously serves other things that are nice.

    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.

    Bagel + cream cheese

    Something about having to spread my own cream cheese was a bummer lol.Coffee wasn't bad for what it is.

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 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.

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.
