This is a very laid-back inviting coffee shop. It's a little kiosk on a patio with plenty of shaded seating. They offer a variety of espresso based beverages, smoothies, teas, pastries, and locally made breakfast burritos.
I had a cortado with 2% milk for $4. It was well made. It was a little strong up front, but it settled after a bit to a smooth and rich flavor. I enjoyed it very much. I also enjoyed the friendly conversation offered by the gent running the kiosk and some of the locals that visited.
Cool spot to meet up with friends, enjoy a beverage, and have some conversation.

A cute hidden cafe! You've got to try the banana coffee cake if available. I crave it all the time now.

My wife and I love the coffee there! Their workers make us feel so welcomed and the peaceful environment makes it hard to keep tack of time. Its always an enjoyable time when we go!
Lovely little place on a quiet street so you can sit, relax and hear each other talk! A rarity in most places. Owner could not be nicer! Just the kind place you want to sit and relax and take in a great coffee and support a local business.

? #1 - white mocha latte ?Close 2nd - chai tea latte with espresso ?3rd - latte4th - cappuccino with cinnamonThis place rekindled my love for white mocha. I stopped ordering it in general cause it became too sweet. But theirs was perfect. Loooved the chai tea latte with espresso. The latte was also good. The cappuccino was okay, normal, but I love how none of them was watered down or bitter or too milky or lacking. They all tasted how good coffee should taste. Love it. Even their banana and blueberry muffins were good. I ordered all of the drinks hot and I hope their iced versions taste just as good and not at all watered down.

This was my first time visiting this cafe and I ordered an iced vanilla latte made with oat milk. It's one of my staple orders across all the cafes I visit. It was absolutely delicious and went down sooo smoothly. The barista is one of the friendliest I've met. Great smile and very calm and composed. I'll definitely be visiting again. The only thing I think would liven the place up a bit would be adding some plants! Maybe some centerpieces and string lights hanging from the ceiling would also be nice~

Thank you for the best iced vanilla latte I’ve had all month! A short walk for me to a hidden Chula Vista gem! Service was welcoming and fast.

Maple tree is one of my favorites! I visit every week, and they even remember my order. I definitely recommend the Deugster, honey cinnamon vanilla latte, and the vanilla chai! Love this place!

I've been wanting to visit Maple Tree Coffee (MTC) since it's attached to the Call Of Zion (COZ) Church located on the west side of Chula Vista. My normal coffee meet time is at 7:30am when a close buddy of mine meet up maybe 3-6 times a month after he drops his wife off at work. Unfortunately, MTC opens at 8:30am, a whole hour after I like to get my morning Java. This morning was my lucky day as I wrapped up my dog walk a little later than usual, and decided to visit MTC. We were greeted by Priscilla, whom my buddy knows well as his family attends COZ regularly. It was a little warm, so Priscilla made me an iced coffee, while my buddy ordered a special coffee which had too many ingredients to recall. He also ordered an iced vanilla matcha green tea with almond milk to-go. Our morning meetup was cut shorter than usual, as he had to run to tend to family matters. PROS: I loved the covered outdoor patio of theirs, it's sectioned off from the sidewalk by a 6 foot fence and feels pretty quaint and peaceful. It's perfect to meet friends, study at one of their padded chair & tables placed amongst the patio area, or just relax and meditate, pray, or enjoy their delicious coffee drinks. CONS: None really, but I had visited on Wednesday, which those who live around this part of Chula Vista is trash/recyclables/yard waste day. Street parking is already at a premium in this area due to the residences, businesses, the Chula Vista Norman Park Senior Center, and three churches in within blocks surrounding the coffee shop. On to why I will want to return back sooner than later... The customer service is second to none, Priscilla was amazing!!! I wondered if they had a decaf iced coffee, they did not, BUT, Priscilla suggested a 1-shot iced Americano (normally 2-shots) which turned out even better than my originally desired decaf iced coffee. I don't know what coffee beans MTC uses but it was definitely flavorful, had enough intensity, while not having as much caffeine since it was a weakened 1-shot of espresso. It was a beautiful sunny Chula Vista morning and the temperature was just right to enjoy a delicious iced Americano in their patio. I have two other favorite coffee shops within a mile of MTC... This spot will be added to the rotation starting today! Coffee, service, atmosphere, and ambiance were all deserving of a 5-star review! I can't wait to return!

I had the lavender matcha, it was delicious. The place is really cute. I like that it's an enclosed outdoor space with plenty of seating in a quiet neighborhood. I found parking easily. I appreciated that the owners were very friendly and welcoming.
