Really good coffee and the ham and cheese croissant was tasty. Their muffins looked yummy, maybe next time! The shop is in a commercial location but there are a couple of designated parking spots so parking was no problem. Madison and Izzy (staff) were helpful, kind, polite. Would definitely come here again if I was in the area. It's freeway accessible which is also great.

Decent coffee but off the beaten path with unpredictable hours so likely won't be back. Showed up at 12pm on a Sunday and doors were locked with no sign on the door to explain the early closure or change in hours. Observed other people walking up & experiencing the same frustration as we drove away.

We had an Aloha latte and a Pistachio latte warm. The lattes were a perfect temperature to where you can drink them immediately. We spent $26 for two lattes, a croissant and a chocolate chip muffin. In my opinion, very fair prices. I would not recommend the food here as there are very few options and my muffin and croissant did not taste fresh, but their coffee was a nice start to the morning. There is seating inside, and our two dogs were welcome in their stroller!

Seriously some of the creamiest, most delicious coffee. The spiral crossing was delicious and huge. Could definitely split it with a friend.

Cute little hide-a-way in an industrial park in Santee/El Cajon . You almost need to be in the know to find it. It's located in a warehouse where coffee is roasted and distributed. Very comfortable vibe inside. Great for casual business meetings, conversation and relaxing - except for the airplanes! (Just make sure your computer is fully charged as there are no outlets.) It's near a small airfield which makes it noisy when the airport is active. Had a yummy iced pistachio honey latte. Mom enjoyed a raspberry herbal tea. It smelled good, tastes like regular black tea with a hint of raspberry. We also had a raspberry cream cheese muffin which was ok. Blackery items are from one of their other locations so you know they're fresh. On a Sunday at noon they were a bit light on bakery items but that may be because it's a new location. And, because they're so new, we had the luxury of being the only ones there! Pricing is as expected for gourmet coffee, just a bit more than Starbucks making it pricy but not outrageous. As it's a relatively new, I hope more people find and support it 'cause selfishly, I'd like more food choices! ;-)

This place has such great coffee! Awesome customer service, the barista knew what he was doing. Flavor was great, I got the Aloha. So good! I also loved the vibe.. cute little coffee shop with plants and nice decor. They also had their own parking lot which was great

It's great to see another non-Starbucks coffee spot open in Santee. Overall, I think they have great coffee but it's a little pricey. 6 dollars for a small cold brew is expensive compared to most other coffee shops. The location is in a business park area, but there is a decent amount of parking and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. It's worth stopping by, hopefully they expand their hours a little bit though. Being closed by 12:30 every day makes it hard for me to stop by most of the time.

I am glad they opened nearby. I always get my breakfast coffee and croissants. i so love them ?very tasty, the place is so clean and everyone is so friendly.Kid-friendliness: It is like a family coffee shop the place itself is safe for kids and they can choose variety of fresh made cookies, muffins,chocolate croissants and ham cheeseWheelchair accessibility: It is very spacious, clear space to allow navigation freely.
I got a espresso this morning and it was lit. So smooth and super good. Highly recommend price is great too. They are very friendly.

Bought a bag of your single origin "LIGHT ROAST" nicaraguan beans.These things are darker than my soul.One of the worst single origin pulls i've had out of my Decent in 3+ years.Do not advertise these as light roast. These "light roast" beans are darker than any "dark roast" i've ever bought.

Easy to find and a simple and easy to understand menu.I was surprised at how good the honey lavender latte was from this small place.My wife ordered a cold matcha green tea and it was good! I will come back here again for the coffee.Parking is first come first serve but don't let that deter you from getting your coffee and talk time on at this place. There is street parking that is close.The place is small but delicious coffee brewing here! The inside has a couch and table for a small group.Their menu has the standard flavors and some pastries if you are hungry.The service is friendly and helpful.I recommend this place and I'll be back!

This is a coffee roaster with a front serving coffee drinks. They close at 12:30. There are a few seats inside but quite a nice patio built around a shade tree outside. Despite the industrial setting it was pleasant there.I really liked the coffee; I'm a strong coffee guy and it suited. The service was fast and friendly. The pastries looked smaller than say the ones from Bread & Cie, which is neither good nor bad, depending on your weight. My weight being too high for even these, I cannot report on them. I thought the coffee way above average though, based on one Americano.
