We have wanted to come here for a long time since moving to Palm Desert, a couple of years ago…read more My Son, the Navy Veteran really enjoys coming in for coffee and pastry before heading over to CSU where he works. We arrived at 8 AM on Thursday and sat near the front of the restaurant. There were three other tables occupied at the time. I really enjoyed the Bees' Knees latte. My husband enjoyed his latte and my son had iced coffee. Beverages are served in unique and very pretty porcelain teacups. We ordered the Bananas Foster waffle with sausage patties, the half order of prosciutto avocado toast with eggs on the side, and my son had the chilaquiles. This is the kind of place where you can savor an old time atmosphere with many things to see as you enjoy conversation. This is not a fast food restaurant. The staff are warm and friendly. The half order of prosciutto avocado toast was really delicious. The bread was lovely and dense and could have been toasted a little bit lighter for ease in cutting through the vegetables. (This was easily the perfect size for a meal, and the whole order is equally beautiful and generous.) My husband is still swooning over his lovely waffle and sausage patties. He gave his dish a solid 4 stars and talked about it all the way home. My son had chosen the red chilaquiles which had just the right spice level. The place filled up steadily until we left about an hour and a half later. We have a patio outside, which is receiving a new sunshade and lights. Mona the owner explained to us that on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. They will be serving dinner. She was warmly greeted by people who are obviously regulars to the café. We look forward to coming back soon because it was very difficult to make a decision on the menu and everything looks so good.

Note to owner: The staff does not mention that even though the food is not on the display, that there is still some available in the back.

First off that BQL (banana Que Latte) was spot on *AMAZING*. The langka (jackfruit) and banana were all in there. Like you totally can taste it. It was balanced so well. Tho, I think it should be turon Latte (spring roll wrapped banana with jackfruit inside) not Banana que. But totally love this drink!! this alone make me want to go back again. its a small boutique but clean, and nice wall photos too.the moment we walked in the coffee aroma welcomed us. I love it!! Other than the BQL we ordered BSL (brown sugar) they do have milk alternative such as pistachio, oat, almond, etc. We didn't get to see other options for pastries since most were all gone by the time we got there. Overall, I would def recommend this place for anyone visiting PSP, Cath City, Palm Dessert, Indio or Coachella. Five starts would totally recommend and will becoming back in the near future. Thank you for bringing such good drinks to the Valley!

For some reason, I thought parking was going to be a beast here - so I was initially dreading…read morecoming here. BUT! I was wrong! Cheers is located on the "outer" ring of The River, so it's extremely easy to access. There are parking spots right out front - and early on a Saturday morning, I was able to snag a spot straight away. My map took me directly to its location, but in case yours acts up, it's located quite close to the Yard House. Ample indoor seating so you can cozy up for a while. Good selection of teas - I was looking for a black tea, and they carried both English Breakfast and Earl Grey. I appreciate that they actually have "large" sizes that are large. Some other places that have single-sizes (esp for hot tea) are frustrating. Great little spot! Worth a stop in! Thank you, Yelpers, for leading me here. 2026: 8/100

Boba in this economy?! I know... I'm supposed to be saving money but sometimes a good boba splurge…read moreis needed and Chakaa Tea Shoppe was my stop of the day. Thankfully tea shops have become more regular here in the otherwise asian treat deprived desert. Chakaa Tea Shoppe is located at "The River" which is a small outdoor shopping spot situated around a manmade 'river'. The location used to be a starbucks and is perfectly set up for a tea shop to take up residence. Now for the honest, the tea is about average, I do appreciate the ample ordering options of non dairy milks. This time I ended up getting a coffee with boba as my treat vs my normal tea order. The staff is always super friendly and helpful if you have any questions. The boba was also VERY good and well made vs some places that provided under cooked or over cooked boba. A coffee with boba and a small tip ran me up almost $10 which is a little expensive for my taste but it IS a treat after all and not an every day buy. Of all the times I've come into this location they always seem to be warm inside and prefer to not run the AC. I tend to sweat a little bit which is a bit of a drag considering that they have tons of seating. I probably wouldn't drive to the river JUST for boba but if I'm in the area shopping in need of a pick me up to go this would be a good stop.

Their cold brew and cappuccinos are fabulous and I ordered the brewed ice tea which was fresh and much needed. For breakfast we order the French Toast, side of scrambled eggs, avocado and fruit cup. Everything was really yummy! French toast was great but a little thick and wish it was slightly thinner so all the bread in the middle was touched by custard. Fruit was fresh and avocado was perfect. Lots of butter in the eggs but I wasn't upset! Service is fast and friendly. They have indoor seating that is super cute and the outdoor for when it's nice out.

Solid coffee chain! 3.5 stars…read more I got the caramel vanilla latte and pineapple coconut muffin for $12. Loved the muffin and I think the other pastries looked good as well. Coffee was a bit sweet for my taste - they use Monin syrups. Similar to Dutch bros imo. Note no 12oz iced option available This location is small and roadside, less scenic than the other locations. No outlets inside. Solid free WiFi. Restroom available. Parking lot available. Service was friendly! They offered the customer in front of me iced tea samples to help her order.

The whimsical atmosphere dances with charm, delicate pastries gleaming behind glass, the soft hum of conversation, and an elegance that somehow feels both refined and warmly inviting. The table service is nothing short of exceptional, with staff who make each guest feel like an honored friend lingering over brunch in a French countryside café. Every dish arrives beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor, from buttery pastries to savory delights that comfort the soul and delight the senses. And one delicious secret worth savoring; do not leave without trying the homemade raspberry confiture. Its rich, bright sweetness paired with fresh bread or pastries is pure magic the kind of taste that lingers long after the last bite and calls you back again soon.

I love this place. They set themselves a world apart…read more With outdoor temperatures already exceeding the century mark, the menu and patisserie selections enhance the exceptional escapist atmosphere of their la salles. They are almost always busy, but the multiple ways they make each guest feel invited and welcome are impressive. The maître d' is simply exceptional. She doesn't just seat and then retreat behind a stand - she is on top of every aspect of service. The complimentary infused water is always welcome. The counter staff is responsive almost to the point of being psychic. This next sentence may cause the owners pause, but I recommend over-doing it on the pastries - way overdo it! Buy you and your guests more than you can possibly finish. Get some for your neighbors and friends. (And if you are still craving those eggs - they have some surprisingly low priced options hidden in the menu. Great stop! Roger Medanich

This coffee is shockingly so good for being in a mall. My expectations were low but my coffee…read morecraving was so strong that I drove to the mall just for the coffee. They have a pretty creative menu with a lot of unique syrups and drink concoctions so it made it hard for me to choose. I asked the worker for her recommendations and she kindly explained the menu to me. I was sold when I heard about the cafe de olla being made in-house and fresh at that -- she pointed to the vat right behind her. So, I got the iced cafe de olla latte and it was the perfect sweetness with hints of spice that added flavor to the coffee. I would order this again and wanted to come back here the same day. There was no line when I went but they was a line forming when I was leaving. There's no seating area so it's more of a grab-and-go place.

It was one of those mornings where you need caffeine before the world officially wakes up. I rolled…read moreinto the mall around 10:40 a.m., knowing the shops inside didn't open until 11. The funny thing? While the retail was still shuttered, the cafés and entertainment spots were already buzzing. That contrast -- empty storefronts on one side, the smell of fresh coffee on the other -- gave the whole place a quiet but inviting vibe. I walked into Xanti's and ordered two drinks: a strong macchiato (because sometimes you just need that punch) and a hot lavender matcha for balance. Total was $11.25, which felt more than fair. I tried paying with a $100 bill, but the barista politely explained they couldn't take it. No stress, no attitude -- just professional and smooth. Service really stood out here. The barista, a friendly guy with calm energy, not only took the order but noticed I'd settled into my phone at the table. A couple of minutes later, he personally brought both drinks over. That simple gesture made the experience feel way more personal than you'd expect from a mall coffee stop. As for the drinks? The macchiato was bold, clean, and exactly the kind of kick I needed. The lavender matcha surprised me -- creamy, floral, not too sweet, just enough to feel like a treat. Together, they struck a perfect balance: one to wake me up, one to slow me down. So yeah, it's technically "just" a coffee spot in a mall, but don't let that fool you. Between the timing, the vibe, and the barista's extra touch, it was one of those experiences that sticks.
