I was told about Rob’s a while ago by my neighbor who really loved it, luckily I was in the area on jury summons (big county court across the street)- and so glad I came during break! You’re met with a friendly welcome and you can immediately smell the freshness of pulled coffee. I knew no matter what I’d order, I was in good hands. You know those kinds of places? I went with the Beehive, a latte with honey and vanilla; two of my favorite flavor profiles. I was really impressed, you taste the quality of the coffee with every sip. In fact, the barista carefully weighed each espresso handle. Not too sweet, just a smooth latte nicely balanced I hope to be back for more, particularly the seasonal drinks!

Rob, Robbie, and Rob are all awesome. The Banana cream latte is great. The hot chocolate is served with latte art so they take every pour seriously. If you are coffee-hopping, restrooms are at Main Street Donuts Deli and Catering as are donuts. So, go there next.

Stopped by for a flat white. Good stuff. Friendly folks, locally owned. El Cajon has a nice little downtown. Always support a place like this!

i ordered one of the current seasonal drinks featured on the menu, the dirty banana latte, and it was genuinely one of the best coffees i have had in months in san diego!!!! i’m still thinking about it and talking with my family today about how delicious it was, i will most definitely return to this coffee shop and highly recommend to others :)

THE. BEST. COFFEE. in North America... truly! I've been to many locations, this is the absolute best we've had. Don't make the mistake of not stopping here. It'll be one of your biggest regrets in your otherwise happy existence

Hands down the best Coffee in El Cajon and amazing service. I’m a coffee snob and I only go to places that make homemade syrup and some of the best tasting most creative syrups.

Stayed at the hotel nearby and enjoyed their coffee 4 mornings in a row. Their vegan protein breakfast cups were amazing. And their espresso beans are next level

A Better Coffee & Experience than the local chain coffee shop The drinks/Food: They offer what you are looking for and offer something new for those tired of the same drink. I had a Breakfast club Latte and Lavender scone. The Latte was a perfect blend and I could taste all the different flavors and notes, like a wine but better because its coffee and wine is gross. The scone is where they really had me. I could eat that every day and be happy. The Service: Seemed nice and went to work on my drink immediately. Unlike other chain shops I always feel forgotten about or just a ticket waiting to be filled, here felt more like a personal experience or restaurant. Atmosphere: A bit small on the inside but the have a patio seating area, and a chalk board for art over all cozy feeling. Final Review: 100% will come here again and prioritize it over the chain store nearby.
