Espresso self is located in Desert Hot Springs. I seen a sign while driving and thought to stop by before arriving at my final destination. I ordered the Lavender Matcha with lavender, lavender foam, and coconut milk. They have different packaged snacks available; I grabbed a vegan snack by Greyson bakery (sold in store) and It was delicious. Service was wonderful! It was not long before my order was brought out to me. The beverage itself looked delicious--it was green at the bottom from the matcha and purple on top from the lavender. I enjoyed it as it was not too sweet. There are a few tables and chairs inside but keep in mind it is a small space. Everything to tidy and in place. Next time I have my eyes on one of the refreshers and or the chai latte. Tip: Complementary parking lot and street parking "Love what you see in the mirror and life will change." read more

Espresso Self - Lavender matcha (with coconut milk, lavender, and lavender foam) and brownie (cinnamon roll flavor). - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Desert Hot Springs, California

First of all, I have never seen a coffee this big!!! I got the caramel tres leches and my wife got the maple butter pecan. Both were delicious but they were huge!! We got large for both. Customer service was great. We ordered our drinks online and they were ready for us. Place is clean and tidy. Would definitely come back anytime we come back to Palms springs. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

Espresso Self - Caramel tres leche coffee, matchas - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Desert Hot Springs, California

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. read more

I've been a patron of this cafe since its opening and it has been my go to since. Being in dhs there aren't many options but this locally owned business totally changed the game. The drinks are consistently amazing, and they are happy to accommodate/rectify any inconvenience. Prices are ok but the drinks are MUCH better than ALL chain coffee options! Ambiance is great, they have pastries and parfaits etc in their friends, fun drinks and dried treats also. The owner is the sweetest and the service is always great. Can't recommend them enough. You will be pleased no matter what you order! read more

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. read more

Espresso Self - Caramel tres leches latte with cold foam on the bottom right - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Desert Hot Springs, California

Stopped by this cool little coffee house. Grabbed a good coffee and to go pastry one morning while in town. What separates this spot from others is the kind service. The owner and staff are all very kind and gracious. Walk up counter service, place your order and pay, they hand you your drinks when ready. The morning of my visit, I wanted a good coffee before starting my day and stopped in. Was kindly greeted walking in and after a few minutes of conversation placed my order. We talked a bit more and the gentleman asked if I was a veteran, which I am and he bought my coffee for me. A standard practice at this establishment. They buy your coffee for any military, veteran or first responders and a sign of their appreciation. It had been a minute since someone asked much less got my coffee. 4.5 Stars rounded up for the kind staff and good java 01184 read more

Great little coffee shop in DHS! I got the strawberry matcha and my husband got the lavender matcha. Both were delicious! You can taste both the matcha and flavors we got. Not too sweet, not too milky, perfectly balanced. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The ambiance of the shop itself gives a local vibe. But it's super chill and welcoming. Love coming here for a morning cup. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 :/// read more

Espresso Self - Iced cookie butter latte with vanilla foam and cookie crumble - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Desert Hot Springs, California

Coffee was SO GOOD. I am a bit of a coffee addict, roast my own, have a WAY TOO expensive machine at home, and the coffee rivals my own. 1000% percent better than any large chains that are coffee "experts". The staff was so nice, met the owner and she could not be anymore sweet and attentive. Place is super cute, seating is limited because the place small. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone in the area, whether locals or just passing by. read more

Espresso Self Coffee Shop is exactly what a small, local spot should feel like. Stephanie runs the place with genuine care, and it shows in everything she does -- from the way she greets people to the quality of every drink that comes across the counter. The coffee is consistently excellent, the pastries are fresh, and the whole shop has that cozy, welcoming vibe you only get from a true mom‑and‑pop business. You can tell this isn't some corporate chain trying to push people through the door. It's a place built on passion, community, and pride in the craft. Stephanie makes you feel like your visit actually matters, and that alone sets this shop apart. If you want great coffee and a place that feels like home, this is it. read more

Since I live in the High Desert, this is my GO-TO spot for freshly packaged walnuts, assorted baking goodies, and Sourdough bread! 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. read more

Amazing coffee! We ordered six different drinks since we are from out of town and every single one was better than the next. They were busy but quick! I wish they had a drive thru but I didn't mind walking in! They had plenty of parking and very kind and patient service despite how busy they were. Thank you so much for the amazing coffee and the quick turnaround time. Would highly recommend if you want unique and tasty coffee options! read more

The only independent game in town for espresso drinks - thank goodness it's a good one! A tiny shop, with a line out the door often as not in the mornings, and for good reason: the coffee is excellent, poured with care and served at the proper temperatures, with Monin flavors and delicious options. Service is neighborly and cheerful, brisk and efficient. The vibe is local, friendly, and chill. There is a cold case offering random things, some sodas and cakes, and grocery items that make little sense and don't look very tasty. Need half a pound of mejool dates with your latte? Me either. Plastic-wrapped mushy-looking cakes and $4 one-bite cake pops in wasteful plastic containers aren't tempting, either. So: the food program needs help. But they have the rest dialed in very well, and I recommend this place whole-heartedly if you're in the area! read more

Espresso Self - Everything bagel with a Carmel latte. Delishhhhh! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Desert Hot Springs, California

This place has such great reviews so I wanted to give it a try. I ordered a regular iced coffee because a gentlemen in front of me recommended that. His drink came out looking fine. However, I instantly knew mine was going to be terrible as she carried them to our table. The color was extremely light, and for a giant cup- there were only 4 small ice cubes floating on top. Honestly coffee is coffee, so I thought I'd try to drink it still. We needed the caffeine to drive 3 more hours. But it was so watered down and pretty much room temperature. I couldn't even get down more than 2 sips. It felt like I was drinking dirty water read more

Wow!! Such a cute coffee shop in the middle of the desert. We had a huge order and they were extremely helpful

The most welcoming coffee shop in DHS. The staff are always smiling and ready to take your order. Small establishment very modern has various snacks and treats to accompany your coffee. Beats sitting in Starbucks line that's for sure. TRY THIS ONE If you haven't your cheating yourself go on in and customize your drink and Espresso Self. read more

Just stopped by Espresso Self for the first time and I'm really glad I did. The coffee was excellent--smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with care. They also have a great selection beyond just coffee, including some fun drinks and unique specials you don't find everywhere. Even better, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It had a really positive, relaxed vibe that made me feel comfortable right away. Definitely planning to come back--great first impression and totally worth the visit! read more

Very good customer service. Cool atmosphere, didn't personally love the iced Americano black 4/5. I believe they did darker roast to cut which they would typically cut with milk for their drinks. However, still a good experience and would go back read more

My wife introduced me to this spot and I'm so glad she did! I've been searching for a coffee place that could match the flavor and vibe of Avenue back in Washington, and this is the first one that truly delivered. The coffee is rich, smooth, and exactly what I've been missing. The staff was incredibly friendly and respectful, which made the experience even better. As a photographer, I just had to take a beautiful picture of the coffee--it looked just as good as it tasted. If you're a coffee addict like me, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend! read more
