Interior bar seating
Tiffany W.

Certainly a cute coffee shop with high potential. I've been coming here with every Palm Springs visit and I do admit, my past experiences were far greater then my latest attempt. Pros: clean interior, outdoor patio with umbrellas, plentiful indoor seating and great parking as the location is inside a larger building with other stores and a former bank. Cons: This specific visit, I ordered a veggie quiche to which I was informed they had it but it wasn't good so they didn't suggest it (sigh). I then moved on to attempt the breakfast burrito and a Valentine's special drink "Tuxedo Mocha" and paid for both. I was then informed that they were out of the burrito and offered me the Veggie Scramble instead. They then had to comp me a little extra money back. I will say that the barista and chef in the back had a wonderful poise and attitude about them despite the inconvenience. The barista even had some fun with me and surprised me with extra chocolate syrup on the mocha. Perhaps this was an off day for the shop and it wouldn't necessarily prevent me from returning.

I had a pretty decent bagel and lox, with red onions and capers. It was fairly priced and I will probably go again because of the short turnaround service. Everything tasted pretty fresh... I asked them to dig the inside of the everything bagel out for me and toast it twice and they were able to accommodate. That's, by far, much better service than I have received from many other restaurants regarding this specific request.

Authentic French pastries, perfectly crafted coffee drinks, friendly staff, clean eating areas, what more can you ask for? Ristretto has it all for a quick or leisurely breakfast, snack, or lunch. A must go!!

Chai tea and spinach and feta pastry

Their pastries are just amazing, they bake them there! The service is very good, the ambience is inviting and relaxing, I love when I go to a place and employees are not running around. The view outside has a majestic mountain to watch. The coffee was bitter for our taste, but still it was better than other coffee shops in town. We would go back.

Cool art to check out just around the corner.

It was the last day of our desert trip. We already checked out of our hotel in Cathedral City and needed a nice coffee place to hang out before taking a tour early in the afternoon (and then heading home). After much researching and weighing out options, we ended up at Ristretto which was located inside a historic building (The 500) currently used for office space. Great ambience, some art and decor to look at, and service was wonderful. I had an iced mocha with oat milk (yummy!) and my boyfriend had an iced americano. We both enjoyed our drinks and the relaxing hour we spent there taking a break from the summer heat.

Cappuccino with almond milk.
Marcie M.

This was a first time for us being locals and all. We live on the opposite side of town and usually go to 4 Paws Coffee Co. Love that place! My husband had the cold brew with coffee cubes and caramel and milk. I had a taste. Mediocre at best. I think the cubes took away from the smoothness of the cold brew. Torani is not my favorite sweetener. Very artificial. Maybe order without coffee cubes and syrup next time. He liked it though! Anyway, my cappuccino was good. It was very creamy even with almond milk. Usually they don't taste the same, but good job. I actually enjoyed it unsweetened too since I usually always sweeten it. Owner and barista were very friendly. We likely won't go out of our way to come here. We stopped in because our car is at the wash a block up the street. Place was packed with lots of customers! They must be doing something right.

I come here often for the amazing Filipino coffee and Filipino baked goods! One of the best places…read moreto come by if you're looking for a unique coffee shop. 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.

came in at the right time. they were about to close in a couple of minutes, and me and the sister…read morewere looking for some drip while visiting from SD. 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!
