Easily the best coffee Ive had in lakeside/ec area. Great staff, good sandwiches.

Love this place! Great coffee and sandwiches! They have an antique store attached which is an awesome find!

Must’ve passed by this place a thousand times, finally got a chance to stop in. Finding the entrance was a little bit tricky but what’s inside was definitely worth it. Ordered the White Chocolate Mocha for me and a Mocha Frappe for my kiddo. Both were absolutely delicious. Staff was super friendly. We will be back very soon!

Excellent tasting coffee! They also have a drive thru. I highly recommend this coffee over S-Bucks. Supporting local businesses is the way to go.

I had a delicious chai latte with whipped cream. Yum yum yum. Then did a lit shopping. One if my favorite places ❤️

Not sure if shes still there or not but Susie was the best 3 or 4 years ago! We stopped here to meet before a day long ride. What goes better than coffee and motorcycles? The coffee is outstanding and so is the service!

Love their beverages! Friendly employees, reasonable prices. Support local business!

The coffee shop follows the antique theme of of the adjacent shops, therefore you may hear country music playing in the background. I myself am not a lover of country music but it will give this shop the ambience of a country shop.Only had an iced coffee off the menu and it was OK. Nothing spectacular. Served in a plain Solo cup. I think they should start branding cups in my opinion but that could get costly. Just my opinion.Id like to see the menu on a chalkboard but here the menu is on laminated paper. They do have WiFi thank goodness. The shop didnt seem that busy in the afternoon when I arrived.The service was fast. And the staff was friendly. The place just seemed dead to me. It needed more life. Overall Im glad the country music wasnt loud, the place was clean, and they offered WiFi.Its too bad they dont have windows to look outside. Id still recommend the place if you were looking for a local coffee shop. They even have a few board games. Prices are about on par with what youd pay at Starbucks.Update 10/2019: Place is always clean and Ive been here in the mornings and its much more busier and lively but they still provide fast service. I think Im expecting too much as this coffee shop is more of an antique coffee shop then a modern one. Restroom is kept clean. Still needs windows. Go glad they have high speed wireless internet.Update 10/2019: Been here a few times now. Great place to get away and study, and yes they dont only play country music. That was a one time occurance. The crew is friendly and the service is fast. I recommend this place. 4 Stars still because its a little cramped and they only have one power outlet that I could see. Not sure if its for customer use. Place could also use windows but on the brightside there isnt sunlight beaming in. Also the prices are a little on the high side.

First time trying acai bowl...absolutely delicious!

Heres some pics of the menu. I had the Acai bowl and it was delish but smaller than Im used to getting when you order the large. The hubby had a croissant breakfast sandwich. He said it was smaller than he expected but good. Id go back!

So comfy and cozy. First time and I lived it.

I really love their green smoothie especially in the mornings when Im headed out to yoga. Its delicious and it gets me through yoga without feeling too full.

Love this place. Great drinks and awesome customer service.

Granddaughter went thru dive-thru to order Chicken bacon sandwich and Chi tea w/Expresso shot. Her favorites!

The batistas are always friendly and fast. Everytime I go I get a perfect breve no mater whos making it. I ordered a pumpkin spice breve recently, and I really dont know why because I dont like pumpkin spice, but I rolled with it and it was delicious. The flavors complemented the coffee and cream so nothing was over powered. It wasnt super sweet. It was really good. Gotta give a place 5 stars if they make you something you normally want to burn with fire and its delicious.

Great coffee and atmosphere. Its the way old secret coffee shops used to be--before the corporate coffee invasion. Courteous staff. Laid back atmosphere. Awesome remote work location.

Kaffee Meisters acai bowls have come to be my favorite. In honesty, I have it for breakfast about 12 times a month. (I have an eating disorder and stomach problem and its hard to find foods i can eat) Im such a fan, my partner proposed with one. Their chai tea is very pleasant. Ill always come back, and update with photos eventually.

Great dirty chai latte! Fun lication too

They have a honey bbq blt that is YUMMY!!

Really cute coffee shop. They have delicious baked goods and Açaí. The drive through is convenient and the Baristas are always friendly.

Excellent coffee and friendly service. My favorite drink is the lavender latte and I greatly enjoy the Cinnamon Rolls.

Chai tea was good. They have a vanilla or spice option. We ordered one of each, but they made 2 spiced ones. They offered to remake one, but we didnt want to wait. For the drive thru, access from business 8, Not Aurora Dr. It pulls through to Aurora Dr. The cinnamon roll was fine, but definitely a trade item out of a cellophane wrapper. The breakfast sandwich was okay. It was a good size and the crossaint was good, but nothing special.

Cinnamon roll and coffee clean rest room.

Products are great and so is the service ...When they are open!!! I have gone twice in morning and no one is there 😖so disappointed!

Pretty good. Ive gotten chi tea here before and it was ok. It kind of tasted like the powdered chi you can get at Costco. Today i got the iced caramel macciatto and it was much better. Close to my home and its great to support a local business. We will be back.

Hands down the best coffee in town! Starschmucks doesnt even compare. I love looking around at the Mercantile next door while I wait for my coffee to be made. They have a pretty good selection of breakfast and lunch foods too.

Would have been 5 stars but I had to walk through two other (!!) stores to get to KM! Map says Business I-8, but entrance seems to be on Aurora! Or walking through other stores...The Vietnamese coffee was great!

Their macadamia nut milk is amazing! The people are always super nice 😊

Their coffee is amazing and, unlike Starbucks, they serve you and add a cookie with it. There are 2 locations. One is in Santee and it is a funky, chill vibe where they have bands play many nights. This one is different. It is located inside an antique shop (which is lovely), and you have the option to sit inside and play games, or out in their peaceful garden and enjoy the weather. Staff is very customer friendly. Oh also try their food. It is yummy, especially their home made soup and their spinach quiche.

Great mochas

Kaffee Meister is a small coffee shop in Lakeside. The coffee is delicious and the employees are very friendly. I love the drive-thru. Its nice to support the little guys. Thanks Kaffee Meister!

Much more fun than chain coffee shoos. Love the atmosphere and country ambiance.

Great coffee and the homemade baked goods are amazing! The owners and the staff are friendly and helpful, and I dont know of any other coffee shop that makes you feel like family each and every time you walk in the door. Kaffee Meister blows away the competition hands down. If youre looking to enjoy good coffee with good people, there is no other choice!

Great coffee and service.

High quality ingredients and great customer service! Best coffee shop in East County! Be sure to try their their homemade pumpkin spice in your drink

It has a nice feel to it similar to the Living Rooms or the Upstart Crow in Seaport Village. The down side is that its really quite small and not very easy to find. Maybe call ahead or plan to drive-thru.Correction: theres extra seating in a garden area outside. Not too shabby.

Friendly people, good place to meet and talk. Nice variety of coffee, tea, and eats.

Accidental find as we were looking for coffee not from a major chain while leaving San Diego. Very happy with the quality and strength of the coffee. This place is now on our to-do list every time we are driving by. Conveniently located about 1 block from the highway entrance/exit.

This place is great. I like that this location has a drive through, too, because Im super lazy. They roast their own beans. Their cold brew is exceptional. This place crushes Starsucks all dang day.

What a cool spot! Totally random space with a wonderful menu. Must try!

Decent little place.

An amazing selection of drinks and food with an even more amazing staff. They make me feel so welcome every time I go there! Always service with a smile!

Good coffee and scone. Wait was a little long to order but it moved quickly once my order was taken😀

Nice people but terrible burnt coffee. Also quite expensive

I took the drive through because Ive never been here but this place has really great coffee. Ill have to go in next time and enjoy it longer! (Went on a walk after-picture*)

You are bound to find treasures here! Love shopping vintage and they have tons of rooms, from books to furniture, great prices and great people. Neighborhood ambiance.

They have a nice selection of coffee. Its located within a cute antique shop. Interesting to look around. Brought back memories of my childhood.

Cute little place! Good coffee. I love that they are not always open. That way I dont go there so much that it isnt special.

The best in town !!

Such a darling little place! great coffee and breakfast fare

Convenient drive through. Lots of edible options too.

A very homey type place. Feels like youre not even in Lakeside anymore! Everyone was so friendly

Coffee isnt nothin to throw your hat in the air over but its good. I love the presto breakfast croissant. So good.

Best Chicken Chili anywhere!! Lattes and espresso drinks made to order with style...no cookie cutter like a coffee chain. Employees are friendly and simply Devine. You will not regret trying this little out of the way coffee stop...has a drive thru as well. You will be hooked from the first sip!!!❤❤❤

The coffee is amazing!! Its a good place to study or get work done if you want some quiet, its really small but really worth it.

They don’t have much of a gf menu but the gf red white and blue muffin is to die for. They have really good smooth coffee drinks too!

Awesome place

Coffee is always great, and the gluten free muffins also have great flavor. The people In the drive through window are always happy and friendly.

Great place to kick back and enjoy your favorite coffee and maybe a baked goody too. This is no cookie cutter coffee shop, very unique and a great experience.

Cute and cozy, but not the best place to hang out with a lot of people since its so small. Theres an adorable antique shop connected to it though thats always fun to look at.

Such a warm and cozy place! like taking a walk down memory lane... and great coffee too!

So delicious lavender latte, with macadamia milc and Honey 💗

We love this place. Visit at least twice weekly! Very cozy and coffee is great!

Just had some cold brewed iced coffee here. Best iced coffee Ive ever had hands down! The barista Ryan made my visit even better with his friendly service. Definitley coming back soon!

Friendly staff, good service. Tucked behind an antique mercantile with lots of neat stuff.

I think Im going to really like visiting this coffee company again. Outstanding cafe latte

Best coffee in town and locally-owned!

Not the fastest service, but extremely friendly and excellent products. Very well crafted espresso drinks and very good brewed coffee.

Old fashioned and friendly. Home baked pastries enhance the air with a yummy aroma.

My favorite coffee shop by far! Worth the wait! I just wish the location was more convenient!

This is a quaint but good little coffee bar inside an antique store. Has a drive in.

Never had a bad experience. Steel cut oats and coffee is my go to. Love the drive-thru!

Great coffee, pastries and antiques. Lovely atmosphere inside with cozy inside seating as well as outdoors to enjoy the beautiful California sun.

I will miss you! We had to move but their coffee was always a morning treat for us! White chocolate latte with blackberries was my fav!

The coffee and breakfast here is so delicious, and their patio is very nice to sit out on and have a conversation with a friend!

Quiet little coffee shop in East county. Good coffee, friendly staff, a bit small and rustic.

Some of the best coffee in SD! Breakfast sandwich with bacon is good too!

Love this hidden gem! Love their staff friendly n pleasant n their coffees are Amazing!!!

Great coffee and delicious bake fresh muffins!! Friendly staff! Inside of a charming antiques store!! Very good!!

Service was great, they have house made syrups. A nice local spot.

Great place to grab a good latte to go! Or to stay and search for your next antique treasure!

Cool place to get your coffee fix and some bites to eat.

Second visit. You feel like family and they make a treat of coffee service. Definitely have coffee inside! Awesome.

Get the lavender latte on ice with honey, you wont regret it.

Great place to relax, meet, talk or just enjoy the atmosphere. Oh, dont forget the delicious coffees and lattes, a must have...

Best coffee for miles, good service, great food :-)

Fun place to go look at stuff, have a coffee or tea and sit in the patio.

Enjoyed cold brew. Delicious !I will be back for sure.

Way better than the chain everybodys used to going through the drive thru at... Yeah I stay at Coffee Miesters is 10 times the coffee shop Starbucks in

The best coffee! Family style atmosphere. The gem of Lakeside.

The staff/cashier was definitely NOT friendly, the food we ordered was put to the back of the long drive thru line orders and we were told that when we asked, they tried to give coupons for a free drink but nevertheless the bagel was still made wrong without them ever realizing it....great coffee though...

Enjoyed. Just needs more setting

Friendly and outgoing staff, amazing coffee and food.

I liked the iced lavender coffee!!

This place has great coffee, and a very unique atmosphere!

My hideout is in the garden, eat the cinnamon rolls life is short!

I love everything about Kaffee Meister, especially their dark home roasted coffee.

Very nice coffee shop. Has a drive thru

Always great coffee and atmosphere! Slow service today!

Great food and connected to an adorable antique shop!
