Kaffee Meister - Lakeside Coffee Bar & Drive-Thru

If you didn't know it was there you might miss it, but this little hidden drive-thru coffee shop was a wonderful surprise in the neighborhood! It's tucked into the side of a super cute antiques/gift shop, which I'm looking forward to checking out next time.

I got a seasonal pecan praline latte, half sweet, and my partner got a latte breve. Their coffee is delicious! We also got breakfast sandwiches, which had a tasty herbed butter spread on the ciabatta and fluffy eggs, sausage on one, bacon on the other - both were very tasty. The cherry on top was a perfectly moist/buttery orange cranberry scone.

10/10 for the quality of their coffee & food alone, but the service was awesome too! They offered me a dog treat when they saw her in the car. She says they get 15/10 all around. 🐶😄 We will absolutely be back!

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.

I'd like to see the menu on a chalkboard but here the menu is on laminated paper. They do have WiFi thank goodness. The shop didn't 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 I'm glad the country music wasn't loud, the place was clean, and they offered WiFi.

It's too bad they don't have windows to look outside. I'd 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 you'd pay at Starbucks.

Update 10/2019: Place is always clean and I've been here in the mornings and it's much more busier and lively but they still provide fast service. I think I'm 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 don't 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 it's a little cramped and they only have one power outlet that I could see. Not sure if it's for customer use. Place could also use windows but on the brightside there isn't sunlight beaming in. Also the prices are a little on the high side.

This is a nice little place. It is attached to a really great antique place. They also have a drive thru on the side of the building. The staff is friendly and helpful. The coffee drinks are very good and they do have some food items. Good prices and good products.

Here's some pics of the menu. I had the Acai bowl and it was delish but smaller than I'm 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. I'd go back!

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!

We really only come here for the coffee. Make sure you ask for forhere cups if you want it - not assumed any more. And to be honest, the foam distribution and latte art are just so much better!

Honestly on my top favorite places to get coffee in east county. I love this place. Seriously wish I could get it every day.
Also they are always so kind, I have never (in the almost 2 years I've gotten coffee here) been let down.
If you are looking to try somewhere for sure try here.

Easily the best coffee I've 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!

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