That's basically the universal sign for "good things (and strong coffee) happen here." Of course, we rolled in deep--13 people deep--and instantly took over the waiting area like a caffeine-hungry flash mob. I half expected them to panic or pretend they were suddenly "out of coffee," but nope. The cashier/barista handled it like an absolute pro--friendly, efficient, and somehow still smiling while staring down our chaotic group order. Despite us being that group, the drinks came out impressively fast. No mix-ups, no drama, just a steady flow of beautifully made coffee keeping the peace. I ordered the Spanish latte, and let me tell you--it was so good I briefly considered ordering a second before I even finished the first. Smooth, slightly sweet, and dangerously easy to drink. Honestly, if I had less self-control (and fewer social norms to follow), I would've ordered three and just set up camp. The pastries also deserve a shoutout--fresh, tempting, and basically daring you to ruin your "I'll just have coffee" plan. Overall, this place nails that cozy, neighborhood vibe where everything feels a little more personal and a lot more delicious. Great coffee, great service, and a staff that can handle a small army walking through the door. Will absolutely be back... maybe with a slightly smaller group. Maybe

No longer do I need to travel to Palm Springs and deal with the folks at Sprouts :) Also, if they're ever out of stock of your favorite item, just jot down your phone number, and they'll call you once restocked. Oh, yeah, they sell great Coffee as well! The staff is always ready to greet you with a smile and ask you how your day has been. Parking is easy, with a paved lot and plenty of on-street parking. 5 Stars only because I've been here more than 20 times in the past 6 months, and the vibe and pricing are always consistent and pleasant.

From the welcoming atmosphere to the friendly patrons and easily customizable menu items, it was one of the highlights of my weekend in Desert Hot Springs. The drunken noodles and eggplant dish were my favorites, spicy and flavorful. I made the mistake of ordering my yellow curry medium hot, and it was too mild for me, but it was hearty and filling, loaded with vegetables and tofu. The large portions and fantastic flavors had me coming back a second time in 2 days, just to try more. I hope to come back and experience more of the menu.

Breakfast one morning with friends while in town. A busy old school place thats popular with…read morelocals. Parking lot is in the back of the property. It was busy upon our arrival. We were greeted within a couple minutes and seated in under five. I ordered some eggs and they were okay, its hard to mess up eggs. However, what ensued next is why my review is as such. Messed up my partners order so badly it was beyond sad. It was late in the morning and she ordered a chicken salad sandwich on rye. When it arrived it was the wrong bread so she sent it back, what returned from the kitchen was a joke. Literally nothing but lettuce between two slices of rye bread. She did not eat it. What happened next was even more ridiculous, we said something to our server about it and they did not want to remove this lettuce sandwich from our bill? After several minutes of my friends (who are in the restaurant business) arguing with our server over the uneaten lettuce sandwich it did finally get removed, but they charged for the fries... seriously a real wow moment for me That interaction alone was enough to make the whole experience an unpleasant one. 2.5 Stars it is what it is but won't return and as such cannot recommend. 01185

I was in need of a natural juice for hydration and cleanse and saw this shop on Yelp. Since I was down the street charging my work laptop at the Public Library, it was perfect for the short distance and parking. Inside, it's like any other juice shop, and the young man who took and made my order was really nice. He had pride in his work, too. That's the highest compliment I can give. I had an issue with a tooth amidst a root canal at the time, so he avoided using ice to prevent any problems. Given the heat outside, it would have been better, but better safe than sorry is a good maximum. The fruit was fresh and all flavors merged well. I drank it too quickly perhaps, but it quenched my thirst and need for nutrition.

There is some seating outside but it's limited. When you walk in, it just feels disorganized, but in a homey way. I went it looking for coffee but was distracted by ice cream. They have Thrifty's ice cream! And they had a good variety of flavors too. They also have coffee and some interesting specialties. I really needed a coffee so I went with a regular hot latte with regular milk. We also did their specialty coffee, which had cayenne. I thought it would be spicy, but it was really comforting and delicious. Almost tasted a bit like chai but with different spices. It was really good. I would come back for this again. The regular latte was ok. The man working there basically takes orders himself and then prepares them himself as well. There was one other person there when we went so the wait was fine, but if there is a line, I can see this being a bit of a wait and I wouldn't recommend waiting around if you're in a hurry.
