The Best Coffee Shops in Palm Springs
Every tourist knows that you have to try out local coffee shops when you visit and new city so you can get a feel for the local community. While Palm Springs isn’t distinctly known for the best coffee in the world we do have some really good coffee shops that are fun to work remotely at or to sit down and chat with a friend.
Most people come to Palm Springs to relax, sit by the pool, sip some drinks and take cute photos for Instagram and we have a handful of trendy coffee shops that you can take the perfect photo at. Let’s take a look at some of our favorite places to grab a latte and relax!
ernest coffee
This is hands down my favorite coffee shop in all of Palm Springs which is why it’s at the top of our list! The coffee they make is so good and they brew my favorite Stumptown Coffee so this is always my go-to spot. While it’s not a super big shop they do have indoor seating and a cute outdoor patio in case you want to enjoy the sunshine and a pretty view of the palm tree lined streets.
If you’re looking for a place to take your laptop and hang out for the day this is my top choice too. It doesn’t usually get too busy and it’s an all around great place to hang for the day.
My Order: Iced hazelnut latte with oat milk
cartel coffee lab
Another great choice is Cartel Coffee Lab at ARRIVE Hotel. This quaint coffee shop brews really good drinks and is a fun spot to spend some time at. Our one downfall is that this shop is literally so small that you get a little claustrophobic after 30 minutes but it’s cute and will make for some great Instagram photos.
starbucks reserve
For the Starbucks lovers out there this is the spot for you! Our local Starbucks reserve is right in the heart of downtown Palm Springs and is a great choice if you want to be in the epicenter of what’s happening. There is a ton of outdoor seating plus indoor seating and it’s perfect to grab a latte and walk around and explore all of the boutiques in the city.
koffi palm springs
If you want to get a taste of locally roasted coffee than Koffi is the place to go. They have 2 locations in Palm Springs and both are great options with lots of seating and good food to snack on as well. We love that they fresh and locally sourced beans from Joshua Tree Coffee Company and you can even buy a bag or two as the perfect souvenir gift.
iw coffee
This is our favorite choice if you want to take a drive east away from Palm Springs or are staying in the Palm Desert or La Quinta area. IW Coffee is a local coffee shop with a great atmosphere and really good drinks. The ambience is pretty chill and is a local hot spot.
