    Looks like Coffea (coffee) to me, but I am not certain.

    Could be maybe a meyer lemon. Looks like it has leaf shine on the leaves, or are they naturally shiny?

    My vote is for coffee too (either that or gardenia but I doubt that). If it was a lemon, the new leaves would be a bronze colour.

    Yep, it could very well be a coffee plant. It's was hard to tell for sure.The leaves look similar to my meyer lemon as well.

    Definitely not citrus; they do not have opposite leaves like those in the pictures.
