A newish, more modern location in a plaza of similar options, this McDonald's has more walk-in friendly hours than most locations in Moreno Valley or Riverside. The few times I found myself here benefitted from dining in or take-out. The kiosks to order are convenient and easy unless you are paying with cash. All three times, the food came out warm and well made overall, although the first visit saw a better execution of my breakfast go-to: Bacon egg and cheese bisquit. Except for some employee yelling at another guy in the back one day, it's pretty quiet inside, and clean.

The sundae i bought.

We bought two chocolate sundaes and the portions were ridiculously small. $7.00 for nothing.

The second worst customer service I've experienced at a McDonald's drive thru. I ordered and paid for two large coffees. I got two mediums -Girl(employee) at pickup window said they ran out of large coffee cups..I asked about being refunded difference, she didn't hesitate to snap with complete attitude and say she couldn't do anything about refunding difference since I paid with McDonald's app.. The coffee was great. Customer service, needs improvement.

Not bad for a fast food place. It was pretty darn clean and fully stocked. Honestly, the best McDonald's I've been to in a long time. The drink fountains were full, the bathrooms were clean, and the tables were all cleaned off. My kids enjoyed the gaming screens, too, while we were waiting for our food. Once we received our food, I was quite impressed with the way it was packaged. They gave a handful of napkins (just the way I like it), separately bagged our sauces (so they didn't get all mixed in at the bottom of the bag), and the fries were filled to the max! The food was piping hot, especially the fries and nuggets....we all enjoyed our food! Not sure why all the horrible reviews, but if you are asking to be catered to, this isn't going to be the place. Most of the employees are working on the food/drive thru, so most people would prefer ordering either at the kiosk or on the mobile app. You're not going to get immediate help unless someone is at the counter. Other than that, I highly recommend this McDonald's for a quick stop, especially if your passing through town!

Address and phone number to McDonalds on Varner Road in Palm Desert.

Zero stars!!! It's Veterans Day so I went to go get the free breakfast being offered at all McDonalds restaurants. I went through the drive through, the person taking orders couldn't hear me so I had to wait until I got to the window to order. Waited 10 minutes and there were only 2 other cars in the line. When I got to the window, they tried to give me someone else's order. I let them know that I was the customer that they couldn't hear. I asked them for the free veterans breakfast. They said they didn't know anything about it. He went and asked his supervisor and came back to the window and said, 'we don't give anything free to veterinarians'. I corrected him and then he called me a veterinarian yet again. I asked to speak to the manager. And she said, 'we weren't told anything' , sorry. I tried to show her the McDonalds website and she refused to look. I said, it's VETERANS day. Do you know what a veteran is? And then she called me a veterinarian. McDonald's. What a disgusting disappointment. I have proudly served my country since 1994. I have always received free breakfast from McDonald's on Veterans Day. Note to self: NEVER EAT AT MCDONALDS EVER AGAIN. If you don't have people working in your restaurants that do not know the difference between a VETERAN AND A VETERINARIAN, you will not receive business from me!

Been waiting over 20 minutes for my order yet the place is practically empty. Think this will be a quick stop on your drive? Think again.

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. I almost left without getting food because I thought it was sold out. Isha took my order and forgot to bring out 3 hot items. I had to ask multiple times to get my food and to have it warmed up...while she was using her phone.

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!

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.

The table service is very close to fine dinning quility with out the cost…read moreFiltered water in class bottle with crystal glass ware makes for a great start to any meal, breakfast and lunch Great selection of hot and cold coffees, teas and hot chocolate.

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.
