Drip coffee is delicious and pippin hot. Lots of flavor and great roast. Vanilla latter with oat milk and an extra shot was great. Their coffee is quality. Filipino owned which means delicious ube treats and flavors. Ambiance is calm, quiet and chill. Service was top tier. Would defo be back if in the area again. Cheers for a nice experience and delicious coffee. read more

Found this on Yelp while staying in Rancho Mirage looking for a place with good coffee and pastries. This, of course, highly appealed to me. I enjoyed a guava tea pastry and a small Pandan Latte. I also took with me the Adobo Pan de Sal which was delicious. I will definitely frequent this coffee shop. The music added to the vibes. There's ample parking in front, but there is not a restroom inside. It's a very small shop. They have 5-6 two-seater tables and an ate in the back that can seat maybe 3-4. I recommend giving this place a try. read more

My favorite coffee shop in the Palm Springs area! And trust me, I've been making the rounds... If you like your coffee a little unique- try their UBE (a purple yam from the Philippines that has a nutty, vanilla taste) and / or PANDAN (A Southeast Asian plant that has a coconutty, vanilla and slight grassy taste) lattes. Yummy factor is through the roof. And the people here are so nice! Always welcoming! I haven't tried their empanadas or their baked goods but they sure look tempting! Next time. On my first day in town, this is the first place I woke up early to get to. I couldn't decide between the Ube & Pandan lattes so I indulged in both! What a flavorful way to get the day started! Thanks Varraco! You rock my world! read more

Varraco was a great coffee stop in Palm Desert. They were literally roasting coffee beans inside the store when we got there, the smell was insane!! To drink we tried the brown sugar latte with cold foam and a strawberry matcha. Our favorite was the brown sugar! To eat we had an empanada and lemon muffin. I would definitely get the empanada again! read more

I have now been here twice in one weekend, it's that good. Nothing has disappointed us yet. We've ordered a plethora of drinks, banana q latte with extra shots, strawberry matcha, ube matcha, brown sugar matcha, varraco latte, ube latte. So good! They are so quick, so nice and so helpful. Wish there was more seating but I will keep returning when visiting! read more

Very cool little coffee shop! Super friendly employees, assortment of pastries/breakfast items, and very good, strong coffee! I ordered the brown sugar latte, and it was great...strong, and not overly sweet. We were curious about their empanadas, so we ordered one beef (for my husband) and one chicken for me. I did not try the beef empanada, but the chicken one was tasty. At first I was thrown a bit because the dough definitely had a sweetness to it which I was not expecting. I think I am just used to Mexican empanadas which typically are not made with a sweet dough. The filling was similar to a pot pie filling -chicken and peas, only not creamy. I actually liked it more than I expected. Overall, glad we stopped in! read more

Escaped the Palm Springs heat and found a gem at Varraco Coffee + Roasters. Our family stopped in for a refreshing, high-quality drink and left even more impressed after the owners shared the story behind their mission of supporting Philippine coffee farmers. Great coffee, warm hospitality, and a meaningful purpose behind every cup. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

came in at the right time. they were about to close in a couple of minutes, and me and the sister were 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! read more

It was super busy on a Sunday morning which is to be expected. The line moved quickly and I enjoyed the ambiance. I loved the concept of this coffee shop and what they're trying to bring with the food and drinks. However the vibe of a place can only take you so far. We have been here before to try the strawberry matcha and it was mid at best. We wanted to give it another try because we enjoyed the atmosphere so much as well as the customer service. We tried the brown sugar matcha and the beef empanada. The brown sugar matcha was disappointing. I would say that it tastes exactly like a brown sugar boba with milk. You can hardly taste any matcha. The beef empanada had great flavor! I've had both Filipino and Latin empanadas and although slightly different, I really enjoy both! The dough here was a bit chewy and slightly thicker than I would have liked but I know that filipino empanadas use a different and sometimes thicker, sweet dough so that's just personal preference. Personally I feel like if you haven't been exposed to this kind of cuisine or quality matcha drinks, this place would seem amazing. The entire concept of this coffee shop is great, just really wish that the execution was there as well :( read more

While I loved the aesthetic of this Filipino-inspired cafe, my friend and I thought our drinks were mid. I ordered the Pandan latte and while it was pretty green in color, I could barely taste the Pandan. Not sure if that was more food coloring than flavoring. The drink was also pretty milky. For $9 with oat milk this was not worth it, but it wasn't terrible. My friend ordered the ube matcha and she felt similarly. She couldn't really taste the ube flavor. This spot offers a lot of unique Filipino menu items, but the execution is a bit disappointing. read more

Very popular Filipino fusion cafe. Vibes inside are great, feels like a small business and the person taking our order said their coffee beans come straight from the Philippines. My partner and I thought the drinks were okay. He got a panda latte and I got pistachio. Both were more on the milky side in my opinion, the syrup flavors were there but on the mild side. Note on the menu the varraco latte is a plain latte and the Pinoy varraco is an americano. I would want to go back and try just their drip/cold brew to judge the coffee better. The stand out thing about this coffee shop is the pastries. We tried the pork adobo padesal, sisig burrito, and beef empanada. All were very good but my favorite being the pandesal. Service was very friendly and they do have a rewards system via phone number that includes a birthday reward. Parking in a shopping complex so no issues there. There is no restroom available for customers. Inside seating is limited, maybe about 10 stools as pictured with low tables and one outlet near the couch in the back. Much more abundant outdoor seating. Would not come here to study based on seating but will be back to try more read more

Quaint little coffee shop (philipino flavors) with so much to offer, definitely one of my favorites in the desert! Love Theres parking in the front (limited) but a lot more in the back. They have coffee, matchas, and delicious pastries. Customer service is always great, and very willing to answer any question! Tried their iced Pandan latte (comes with coconut milk) and I added cold foam. Very different but delicious taste! Definitely try if your feeling adventurous. Husband got the BananaQ latte with pistachio milk and extra shot, also delicious. A must try if you are in the area! read more

Made time to visit this place after all the Coachella partying! Ofcourse found this place on Yelp looking for matcha in the area. It was fairly busy when we got there on a Monday morning but the staff was efficient. They greeted us as soon as we walked in. They're also roasting beans! We got the ube matcha, brown sugar latte, adobo pandesal and sisig burrito. W tip everything came up to around $40. The ube matcha was delicious - matcha was strong and you could taste the ube. The brown sugar latte was amazing - the beans truly shine. The adobo pandesal is soft and full of flavor. The sisig burrito was also delicious - I wish there's rice in it but the crispy pieces made up for it. I recommend this place if you're in the area. Will add this as a new stop whenever we're in the desert. read more

Varraco Coffee was one of my favorite escapes in Palm Desert, especially when I'm looking for a calm, minimalist space to relax. Their Strawberry Matcha is really good without being overly sweet and the Banana Q Latte is such a hidden gem. Shoutout to the barista that put me on! What really brings me back, though, is how genuinely kind the baristas are; their warm service makes the whole experience feel personal and welcoming every time I walk through the door. read more

The coffee here is so delicious! We had the Banana Q latte and the brown sugar latte and both were delicious. There is pretty limited seating in the actual shop and the chairs don't make it a conducive space to stay for too long. They had so many delicious looking pastries. We got the almond croissant which was tasty- I like mine with a bit more filling but the croissant base was nice and buttery! They roast the beans right in front of you which is so unique and fun! A great place to stop for a quick drink if you want great coffee and fun syrup flavors. read more

I come here often for the amazing Filipino coffee and Filipino baked goods! One of the best places to 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. read more

Grabbed some coffee on our way to the zoo today, chose the right place!! Husband had the Pinoy latte which was basically an americano and I have the Varraco latte. Both great choices. Loved how the latte was strong but not sweet! We had to try some pastries so beef empanada, adobo pandesal and almond croissant. We opted to have our croissant warmed up. Beef empanada I wouldn't order again, but the adobo pandesal was delicious. It was a bun filled with pork, so tasty, the croissant was flaky and great too. Would love to try other products. Anyways, it was busy but service was quick! read more

I found this place because it was near where I was staying and I was definitely impressed! They have Ube Lattes and Pandan Lattes. I first tried the Pandan latte and it was really good. I came back another day to try the Ube latte which was good too. Let's say I liked the Pandan latte a lot where I came back on the third day. I saw some people ordering the matcha drinks and those looked good too. This place also has a cool atmosphere, they have their roasting machine and they also show the culture of the Philippines. You can tell this place is a go to spot because I noticed a lot of customers talking to the team in a first name basis which is cool because they seem to be the community coffee shop. I was able to talk with one of the owners for a little and they were very friendly. Next time I'm in the desert I'll definitely come back. read more

Varraco Coffee is a Filipino-owned specialty coffee shop located in Palm Desert. What makes them unique is that they source their coffee directly from the Philippines. This spot is in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a modern setup with about 4-5 tables for seating and some additional outdoor seating as well. For their menu, they have a variety of different coffee, matcha, and tea drinks to choose from along with some fresh pastries as well. Wifey and I pulled up to support and opted to try the BananaQ Matcha Latte along with a Chicken Empanada and an Adobo Pandesal. Overall, everything we had was great and we enjoyed the laid back ambiance of the shop. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming.

Varraco Coffee + Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palm Desert, California

I love trying new coffee shops in places we travel to. Bonus if it's Filipino inspired coffees. There's plenty of parking in the lot. The shop has both outdoor and indoor seating. It's very clean and aesthetically pleasing. They also sell merch like candles, etc. The menu seemed enticing. Service was ok/good, but nothing to write a Yelp review about. I loved seeing the syrups in the cafe area, but couldn't tell if they were made in house. I would've loved to hear about the coffee from the barista or read about it somewhere in the shop. I did ask some questions, but it felt like they didn't know their product that well, maybe? I went and read their website later. I ordered the BananaQ Matcha. It tasted great, exactly like it sounds. It was expensive though. Perhaps because the coffee is imported? I'm ok with money benefitting coffee farmers in Philippines, but it was like $10?! I liked it, but it felt like the overall vibe was missing something - like authenticity. It felt sort of gentrified. Overall, it was just ok. I guess I would probably return to try other items on the menu if I'm ever in the area again? Yelp 2025 Challenge: 11/30 read more

The matcha has no taste. We got two matchas a latte and a cold brew. Not only did the matcha have zero flavor it was $8! The latte was good but it was just milk and coffee I didn't get any sweetener and spent $7.50. And the cold brew was purchased with a SPLASH of almond milk and costed $8! The prices were ridiculous. The only good thing was the latte with stevia to sweeten it. The service was good however I stand by everything I have written. The ambiance doesn't make up for the price. I'm disappointed. read more

Varraco Coffee + Roasters - The matcha, this color is hideous mind u. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palm Desert, California

If you live in Southern California, you can find any type of food or cuisine on Earth. There is no question about it. So here I am in Palm Desert and there is this highly rated coffee house that sells Phillipino food, and drinks with a Phillipino twist. Count me in. You won't find this in North Dakota.. I went with the popular iced ube latte even though the price is painful ($8). If you have never tried ube, you are missing out. The color of the driink is an amazingly vibrant purple. The consistency is somewhat thick. The taste is delicious. The price was steep but the drink was wonderful. I came too late to enjoy most of the food items (because they had sold them) but I am all in on unique foods and drinks you cannot find nearly anywhere else on the planet. Ube for the win. read more

I was in the area and wanted to try the best coffee in the desert. Walked in and it wasn't busy at all came in on a Friday afternoon. They didn't have a much food items because they do close a little early. But still a few options to choose from. I got the adobo pandesal and it was pretty good. They warmed it up but it wasn't still a little cold. The adobo wasn't warm. Also ordered the banana q latte. Pretty good but I do wish it was a little sweeter just for that banana q flavor. Would definitely come back. Must try read more

Such a cute spot. So many flavors to choose from I wish I were local and could try them all. I'm always a fan of ube when I see it on the menu, but this time I experimented with the bananaq matcha. You MUST stir it lol. Overall fun and flavorful drink but a bit too sweet for me. Kept taking sips of my friend's ube latte. We also got a pistachio chocolate croissant to round out our sugar filled morning. All of the staff and customers were friendly and chill. We even chatted with a cancer survivor's group that was meeting outside. Very cute morning. The line can be LONG but don't let it deter you. They move very quickly.

Came here seeking a mid-day pick me up and ordered the ube matcha. The colors of the drink are vibrant, but the flavor was lacking. After mixing the drink, the flavor of both matcha and ube was lost.

A Filipino-inspired coffee shop in palm Desert! We were visiting and my cousin recommended Varraco so we decided to check it out. Cute shop and friendly staff. My daughter ordered an iced Strawberry Matcha and I asked which iced espresso is their most popular which was the Banana Q Latte so I went with that. They have lots of Filipino-inspired syrups, pastries and merch. Our drinks came out quick and the strawberry matcha looked so pretty! My daughter said it was good. My latte was good as well. Although the girl did say it was on the sweeter side I didn't add extra espresso but I wish I would have. But it was still good. Whenever we come back to visit we will definitely stop by again and try some pastries! read more
