About Us

Authentic Taste, Family Roots
Maria’s Coffee Shop is a locally owned and operated coffee stand in the heart of El Cajon. Founded by Maria, a proud Latina and long-time resident, the shop reflects her passion for sharing authentic flavors with the community she loves.
What started as a simple coffee and tamale stand has grown into a local favorite for anyone looking for quality food made fast. Maria prepares everything with traditional recipes and real ingredients — no shortcuts, just real flavor.

Maria’s Coffee Shop: Small business, big heart.
At Maria’s, our goal is to make your morning better with:
Bold, aromatic coffee and espresso drinks
Homemade tamales wrapped and steamed fresh
Grab-and-go breakfast options like burritos and tortas
Friendly service that makes you feel like family
We’re proud to be part of the El Cajon small business scene, serving hardworking people with food that feels like home.
Thank you for supporting a woman-owned, local business. When you stop by Maria’s, you’re not just grabbing coffee — you’re tasting tradition.
