This conversation in Spanish took several minutes and created a very awkward environment at the table. I cannot think of a more divisive way to alienate your English speaking customers. I don't want to punish the owner by not returning because I'm sure she would not condone this behavior. I hope you will correct your staff on etiquette.

First I want to say WOW, the ube flavor is strong with this shop. And no that's not shade, that's…read morepraise. Most shops have bland, artificial ube flavors but you can tell they use authentic ube flavors for their syrups. Maybe it's artificial but whatever they use it's so strong and delicious. One of my favorite desserts is the ube mochi at Foodland in Hawaii and their ube reminds me so much of that. I had their matcha ube latte and the day prior my bf had the ube latte so we got to try how the syrups taste in both a tea and espresso drink. Okay enough about ube! Moving on to the food. I tried the chicken empanada, beef empanada and the matcha cookie. All were so good and flavorful, quite possibly my favorite empanada. The dough is so soft and the meat is perfectly seasoned. Service was excellent, the staff here are very friendly and you can tell they all love what they do. I love this place and I wish they were closer to me in LA

The café is spotless, beautifully designed, and has such a relaxing atmosphere that you instantly want to stay a while instead of grabbing your drink and leaving. The baristas were incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They greeted everyone with a smile and made us feel like regulars, even though it was our first visit. You don't see that kind of hospitality very often anymore. The coffee was excellent, and the pastries were just as impressive. We tried the Honey Cake and the Bird's Milk cake, and both were fresh, rich, and absolutely delicious. You can tell they don't cut corners when it comes to quality. As an Armenian, I left with an even bigger smile knowing this place is Armenian-owned. It honestly made me proud to see a local business representing our culture with so much class, warmth, and professionalism. It's a beautiful reflection of Armenian hospitality. Cheers Coffee isn't just another coffee shop. It's the kind of place you look forward to coming back to. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Wishing the owners and the entire team nothing but continued success. You guys have built something truly special.

I feel bad writing more negative reviews but ordered their "signature" Spanish latte (iced) and it…read morewas pure milk. It was completely white with minimal coffee reaching the bottom line of the cup. Is that even a standard double shot of espresso? I knew from looking at it that it wasn't drinkable. That was confirmed after I mixed and tasted it. It was brought to me at work so not like I could get it remade or order something else. The condensed milk with regular milk shouldn't make a difference either as I've had Spanish lattes before that actually taste like coffee and the flavors blend well. Also tried a cappuccino which was plain and nothing special. There was just no richness to it and I wonder if it was the beans. Additionally, Cheers could benefit from listing what's in each signature drink on the menu. How are we supposed to know what's in a Dirty Desert or Floral Escape? If the ingredients aren't going to be included on the menu, baristas should know what information to share. I was told staff wasn't very clear on the signature items and even had to check when another customer asked if there were seasonal offerings. Shouldn't they know? Maybe that's reflected in how the drinks are made. As for food, they have a wide selection of pastries that did look really good. The strawberry cheese danish was okay, but probably wouldn't get it again as the filling tasted a little artificial. Just disappointing when you want something fresh. The Coachella Valley is growing with flavorful coffee shops and unfortunately I do not think Cheers can compete at this time.

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.

Don't ever go there. Just kidding, sorry Cups -- but seriously, this place is OFF THE CHARTS! I had the Ahi Salad, Lox Benedict, French Toast, Cups Omelet, and the Divorced Eggs, and every single dish was incredibly pleasing to the mouth. My mouth is watering just thinking about each one. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. And the iced coffee deserves its own shout-out. They even had coffee ice cubes so your drink doesn't get watered down. Genius -- and really, really good! The staff was super attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. I hope they pool the tips together because every single person earns their keep. And speaking of that -- don't forget to tip the cooks, too! The food coming out of that kitchen deserves some love. Cups Cafe, you nailed it. Great food, great people, great experience, great ambiance. Five stars all day long. Just don't tell too many people... I still want to get a table next time.

I always grade coffee by ordering an espresso and I would give the espresso here a solid 2 out of 10 because it has the consistency and taste of engine oil.

Having said that, their cookies are very fine. If Starbucks had this location it would be ace! Why have I put up with it, because the outdoor seating is nice and I like watching rich people who have just bought a Bentley from across the street spit out their 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.
