The owner used to be a teacher at my school and always talked about his dream of opening a coffee shop! His coffee is amazing and I recommend it to everyone. Congratulations Mr. Eccles! read more

Desert Kid Coffee might just be my new favorite desert spot! One of the newest coffee shops in the desert and they absolutely nailed the vibe. The space is warm, inviting, and effortlessly cool... like if Palm Springs aesthetic and your dream Pinterest board had a caffeine-fueled baby. The coffee? SO good. My go-to is the Iced Desert Rose Latte (refreshing, floral, slightly sweet perfection) and the Iced Chai (but definitely make it dirty because we're thriving, not surviving). The pastries are also dangerously good, so don't skip the pastry case. And can we talk about the merch?? The cutest tote bags, apparel, and little finds that somehow make you feel cooler just carrying them around. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or pretending you're the main character journaling in the corner, Desert Kid Coffee is 100% worth the stop! read more

Wow, my new goto for gourmet coffee in Palm Desert! I like the layout, very spacious and lots of parking. The coffee is superb! I ordered the mocha latte ... quality coffee beans! love it. Paired it with their warmed up chocolate croissant.. done! The baristas are nice and quick! read more

Good coffee, no doubt about it--but a couple things have stood out to me since they opened. During one of the festival weekends, they hosted an event with a tattoo artist doing flash pieces of their logo. A little unconventional for a coffee shop, but hey--not really my lane. My daughters all have tattoos, so I'm not exactly shocked by the concept. What did give me pause, though, was that they were doing the tattoos in the roaster room. That just doesn't sit right from a sanitation standpoint. Tattooing involves blood, and aerosolization is a real thing. Mixing that with a space where food products are handled feels like a questionable decision at best. On a separate visit, I stopped in on a packed day--line out the door, easily a 30-minute wait. When I finally got up to the register, a new employee stepped in just as I was about to order. I started giving my order, and she just...ignored me. Scanned her own phone, rang up a drink for herself or someone she knew, and walked off to chat with friends in the waiting area. It became pretty clear she was putting in an order for someone who had just walked in. That didn't sit well. When a place is that busy and everyone's been standing there waiting, there's kind of an unspoken agreement--we all wait our turn. It's basic courtesy. All that said, the coffee is good. But if you're weighing your options, Rutina is just as solid, and you're also supporting the local Mexican community, which is something worth considering. read more

The space is gorgeous, the merch is cute, the music was actually hitting, and the baristas are so cool and hella Gen Z. Walked in and immediately felt like I needed to up my whole vibe. Cold brew with cream had ZERO acidity. Zero! Smoothest cold brew I've ever had and it carried me through LA traffic on the way home like a champ. The banana bread was also sending me. They're in the desert and I'm in LA and I am already plotting a whole trip back. That's how good it was. Someone get them an LA outpost please and thank you. read more

Desert kid coffee is really elevating the cafe culture in coachella valley! From the creatively-curated interior design, the state-of-the-art equipment, and the friendly atmosphere the staff maintains, there are so many reasons to make DKC the go-to for coffee or matcha. The Hailey's matcha was fantastic (and lovingly named after their manager, who has great taste). I also was super intrigued by them roasting beans on site. They have windows to watch into the "lab" and it's awesome seeing them care so much read more

Very cool atmosphere as this is a great aesthetic spot to chill at! Every employee was so nice and welcoming. The line was pretty long considering we went on festival weekend, but we were still treated with very quick service. I got a vanilla chai latte, which was very good!! I wish they had other milk options to add inside the coffee such as half & half. Not pictured is a matcha we got that was very very delicious! read more

The pastries here are so delicious and yummy! We ordered the Sandy's Raspberry Rose pop-tart & the spinach and artichoke croissant. Both were very flavorful and savory. We also ordered a custom iced matcha latte & iced matcha sprummer that has a lemon grass and coconut kick. The service here was super friendly and kind! We were greeted while we waited in line. They don't even charge for oatmilk or alternatives milks which is a plus! The ambiance is beautiful and spacious as well with good music! Plenty of seating inside and outside. Love the garage door open concept reminds me of similar matcha spots in SD. I would definitely return here! Thank you :) read more

We tried to beat the crowd and made it right around 7:45AM. The line was short, the service was great and the place is beautiful! The coffee shop has a great open space and it's just so welcoming! My only note, and it's not even a big deal, is that the music was a little too loud as we were trying to have a conversation. But, the coffee was yummy and the pastries are delicious! 10/10!!!!! read more

We went on Saturday and anticipated a line due to the grand opening and festival crowds. The line moved quickly and efficiently, service was great, and loved the vibes. We were excited to hear the syrups are house made as well as the pastries. We tried the Iced Desert Rose Latte (Delicious) and a Ham and Gruyere croissant. My husband had a iced latte with a creme top and honey lavender syrup. The owners and workers were friendly and patient. We loved the fact you could taste all the coffee notes and it was not overly sweet. It was so good we had to go back the next day. This'll be one of our go to places and good coffee shops in the valley are long overdue. Cant wait to try the mobile order pickup next! read more

Such a cool welcoming environment. Every type of patron imaginable. Though crowded Sunday midday the staff were preparing the drinks quickly and with a smile. Third time ordering an iced Chai and they get more delicious each time. The staff is great at suggesting variations. I love the big open garage door window. Parking can be tricky but patrons come and go often. Comparing, maybe a little higher priced than Starbucks but in taste over the top. Follow their Instagram account. I have found surprise events and many pictures. read more

Love the coffee, the community and the details. Had both a iced sugar-free vanilla latte ( my standard) and an iced mocha latte with a cream top. You can tell they make their own syrups, which are so much better than any mass produced you get most places. The cream top is a decadent treat and of course the coffee is top notch. I picked up two different coffees to take home to enjoy later. The service is friendly and they are very open to feedback. The vibes, music and welcome to linger make it more than just a place to grab a coffee. read more

I found myself to not enjoy the matcha I ordered. Environment is extremely overstimulating just something for sensitive individuals to note. Feedback: Please put a lid on the customers drinks before handing it to them, to prevent spillage. read more

Love the cozy, chill vibe! Nice place for coffee -we will come back again. Very popular spot

My new favorite place in the desert, hands down! Not only is the space beautifully and thoughtfully designed, but the drinks and pastries are out of this world. Everything I've tried so far was excellent. Love that the coffee is roasted in house and you can even see part of the process through the glass. Friendly for all generations, a real community GEM. If I could give a million stars, I would. Thank you, Desert Kid! We will be back soon, probably tomorrow :) read more

Love their coffee!!! I had their iced latte with vanilla syrup and the cream top and a vanilla matcha. It was packed but service was super efficient and I didn't have to wait long after I ordered. One of the owners (I think) seemed so sweet as she was going around all the customers and thanking them for coming. I will definitely be back and I can't wait for my husband to try it! read more

So first of all, this place is sooo spacious! But spacious with an atmosphere. The decor is so cozy and would definitely be a place to truly enjoy a morning. I also got a ham and cheese croissant, banana and whipped PB toast with their seasonal special latte, the Iced Rose latte. Everything was amazing, the toast hit the spot! With the granola and cinammon on the toast? Already wanting another one right now lol. Anywho, service was amazing as well and whoever took my order was just so friendly. Really appreciated the whole coffee shop and looking forward to coming back and trying something new! read more

Absolute best coffee shop this desert is lucky to have and they've only been open a week or 2??. You can feel and taste the passion in their drinks. The owners are dialed & locked in with this coffee stuff. I hope their business continues to blossom and grow. This is the only coffee shop that will get our business moving forward. read more

First off, look how cute this iced latte is (it was also phenomenal). Second, I wish that I could order a bowl of the cream top and eat it. And finally third, the atmosphere and vibes are immaculate - the staff is also friendly and welcoming. I'm stoked the desert has a place like this, one that radiates joy and makes mornings (or any time of day) more fun. read more

loved this place! super cute vibe & friendly staff. was a bit of a wait to get to counter (but expected as it was coachella weekend! & soft opening. & peak coffee time!), but once i placed my order was a very quick turnaround. i want to especially shout out all the vegan options -- both savory & sweet! overnight oats & the pop tart were just what i was looking for -- specifically went to this place after seeing the vegan options :) also no oatmilk upcharge! thank you for your inclusivity, it brought me in the door & writing a glowing review after my awesome experience. hope to come back whenever i'm in the area next! read more

Very disappointed. The matcha is made in batches. My matcha was very watered down. My husband had the Latte , also very watery.

One of the few spots in the desert that's actually a vibe. Best vanilla latte in town. 10/10
