I was greeted by the friendly staff and was made to feel right at home. The vibes of this cafe are very open and joyful. I had the cherry refresher and it was so good part of the fall menu

Iced lavender matcha latte

Yelp desert edition: I needed good coffee on my vacation but I found GREAT coffee! The baristas are friendly and helpful. The interior is cute, cozy and tasty baked items on display. I ordered the Cloud 9 iced latte with extra shots, oatmilk. It was superb. Later i ordered an iced lavender matcha with a lavender foam top. Probably one of the top five matcha drinks I've ever had in my life. A must try in hot springs.

Caramel tres leche coffee, matchas

Right when I opened the door I was greeted. I was able to order right away, I had checked the menu before getting there so I knew what I wanted. I was able to replace whip cream with cold foam on my caramel tres leches coffee. I also got two iced matchas, it was nice they let me know theirs was not sweetened but I could add sweetener if I wanted. My coffee was a little too sweet for my taste but I should have known when I ordered what I got! Excited to try other flavors when I go back. Loved supporting a local shop!

Cute coffee shop... but also pretty sure this is the only local coffee shop (besides 1 Starbucks) so because of the limited coffee shops in this town this one is PACKED. There was a line out the door which I knew it was going to be good! Staff is great and they also have online ordering too, but when you go to pick up your coffee you have to squeeze between & through all the people in line to get your online order. They should open a second location! It's much needed.

Glad I stopped by this place in Desert Hot Springs. It's a small location with a spacious parking lot, and incredibly friendly service. I tried their lavender matcha which was the right green color and actually tasted of matcha without being too sweet. I also tried one of their seasonal lattes that was too sweet for my personal taste, but well crafted and balanced for someone with a sweet tooth.

Came here everyday when I was on my trip in Joshua Tree because of how great it was. Creamy sweet coffee and friendly staff. The environment is also unique and cozy.

We stumbled upon this adorable mom-and-pop coffee spot and immediately knew we made the right decision when we saw the parking lot already half full. 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

Staff is super friendly and even tho it was a bit busy when I walked in they were quick. I was disappointed in the coffee. It tasted more of milk with a toffee sweetener but I could not taste the coffee. Maybe it was the drink I got but I wasn't impressed with it. I did like the over all vibe and thought that the staff was great. I'll try something different the next time I am in town.

Did not take any pictures inside but it is pretty small. Has 3/4 tables to sit down but more of a grab and go coffee shop! They added a special menu with different flavor lattes and have some interesting flavors! I got the Mexican latte and it tasted like cinnamon toast crunch cereal haha. I love the coffee here but if you are not a local the price is around $10 for a latte :///

Will not finish

This was one of the worst coffees I've had in a while. It tasted burnt, bitter, and stale--like the beans were over-roasted or the pot hadn't been cleaned. I won't be ordering it again. Very disappointed. I did like their stickers and staff were nice.

sandra dee & spanish latte

super cute vibe, yummy coffee, and super friendly service! loved it for a quick way to explore town :-)

Wonderful locally owned business! They have an extensive menu, there is something for everyone! We enjoyed both their Matcha as well as their coffee. Service was very friendly and welcoming, they have a bit of indoor seating and plenty of easy parking. I always love supporting local businesses as hard-working as these, great option if you're looking for a pick me up in the area!
