“THIS HUSBAND AND WIFE.......EXCUSE ME...... THIS WIFE AND HUSBAND TEAM ROCK THE VALLEY!!!! BEST EATS BY FAR!!! LOVE THESE PEEP'S!!!!“

“It has been a minute since I've been to the Renaissance Esmeralda here in Indian Wells. I'm not a big fan of the colossal golf/spa/resort complex of which this is a good example, but Goldenvoice puts people here for Coachella and Stage Coach so I've stayed here a couple times. This lobby espresso bar is new from last time, a welcome addition because I also got a room service breakfast from here (50) and it was capital P pathetic, so just send someone down here and get a coffee and whatever from this place and save yourself 40 dollars.Also this is one of those locations where leaving to go to Starbucks is a major production so having something serviceable in the lobby is great.“

“Been enjoying all Koffi locations out here in the valley for years and never disappointed. DELICIOUS! Our go to’s we almost always get are their BEST cinnamon rolls with icing and the mesmerizing Malted Mocha Freeze. Delightful and dangerous – a bit of addiction and brain freeze might occur - you’ve been warned!“

“Extremely lovely, unique cafe. The atmosphere, patrons, and barista really give it a vibe. During the week it’s a laptop and chill kind of place but people do chat and the atmosphere is bright and welcoming. Really a hidden gem in plain sight. I never thought to come here until I noticed the unusually high rating in Google Maps- it’s a cafe that really cares about being a welcoming, comfortable, relaxed place“

“Great customer service and excellent honey lavender latte“

“I love everything about this place!!! Great food, delish drinks, super fun, creative decor, good service and lovely ambience!!! One of my favorite places in the desert!“

“Very creative coffee menu. Delicious food and coffee. Staff is super fun.“

“The Ube Latte was so delicious and has a unique taste that can’t be duplicated.“

“Delicious local spot with wonderful shaded patio, yummy coffee and scrumptious biscuits. I went with recommendations for biscuits breakfast sandwich and I wasn’t disappointed. My husband got the breakfast burrito and was very happy with his meal too. We were hungry so each got an item but in future we could easily split. Wish we had something like this in our neighborhood.“

“great stuff there😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😆😆😆😆😆😆😉😆😉😉😁😁😁😊😎“

“Absolutely amazing little gem of a coffee shop in a quiet strip mall just off 111- owner is friendly and his pastries are amazing! The latte was perfect too“

“I like Dutch bros coffee a lot. It’s a lot more consistent than for example Starbucks. Dutch bros does my drink the exact same way every time without fail. This location everyone is so sweet and nice. They’re fast and efficient. I always come for a drink when I’m in town. I love a good picture perfect 💙

Dietary restrictions: They make substitutions and accommodations for everyone it’s super nice“

“Avoid the coffee chains and come here.

Great spot to unwind with a well-curated selection of Italian wines, solid coffee, and thoughtfully made drinks. You can tell there’s intention behind everything—not just another quick stop, but a place that actually cares about quality.“

“Back for the second time and even more obsessed! This coffee shop is just the cutest. The pastries were so delicious, and the Sueno coffee completely blew me away with its orange and vanilla flavors—perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. I would’ve never thought of this combo in a coffee, but it’s amazing! I’ll definitely be back for this. I think it’s my new favorite coffee flavor. I also tried the Calabaza coffee, filled with cozy pumpkin and fall spices—so delicious and comforting. The staff is so friendly and incredibly helpful with the menu, and it really adds to the experience. There were about 20 people in line ahead of me today, but it was totally worth the wait, and they still got the drinks out impressively fast. This place is truly a gem—I can’t wait to try more of their coffees and matchas! ✨☕🍊🍂💛“

“They have some of the best ownership—it’s truly unbelievable. They are very well respected, kind, and have big hearts. The atmosphere is amazing, and everything is so clean. It used to be a Starbucks, but I honestly love this location much more than the one across the street. The employees are great as well—very friendly and welcoming. It is 10 stars rating, not 5, they got a free upgraded to the best!!!“

“great coffee and excellent customer service.“

“Don't be fooled, if you turn into a neighborhood you're in the right place. Absolutely delicious lattes - recommend the cookie butter latte with cold foam! So sweet that they all came with a different Bible verse subtly handwritten on the cup. Good vibes“

“The Coffee Bean in La Quinta CA was a wonderful option for those of us living in this area with only a Starbucks at every corner. My husband and I would go every Sunday as a treat for ourselves. The service was always great and we had been doing this for 15 years. I'm not sure why they had to close but we miss it so much. On top of my Sundays with my husband I treated myself to a white chocolate latte every Friday as a treat for getting through another week of work. I miss it so much. The closest Coffee Bean is in Palm Desert and it's way to far to detour on the way to work. Very sad please open another location closer to Indio and La Quinta.“

“Edit. Omg+ been coming here any chance possible. Love all the teas. I think there is no bad one!! Berry lovers is my new fave
4 years prior review>I tried the Aurora Galaxy, and the Taro Hokkaido, and they were both delicious! The boba was a perfect consistency, and they both were amazing prices! Very polite, helpful, kind, and friendly customer service!“

“I loved this place. My wife and I enjoyed a date day today, and this was one of the stops that helped make it a great experience.

The quality of the gelato is on point, the service is on point, and considering the location, quality, and what other places charge, I’d say this place is a hidden gem.

We had a freshly made waffle cone topped with strawberry and peach gelato, and it was excellent. The Mrs. had an affogato that she thoroughly enjoyed as well.

Too bad we didn’t take pictures—everything looked as good as it tasted. We’ll definitely be back!

“I was very pleased with the quality of my coffee, the pastries and the attentive staff I encountered yesterday at the Daily Grind. The Basque Cheesecake was exceptionally moist and delicious. I took a blueberry muffin home for breakfast today. It was great, too!“

“Very good cooking with simple instructions to follow.“

“Absolutely loved the drinks at Tea n Tea! The Ube Oreo drink was creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced — such a unique and delicious flavor. The pineapple drink was refreshing, light, and perfectly tropical. Everything tasted amazing!

The lady who helped us was so sweet, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Great drinks and wonderful customer service — definitely coming back! 🧋🍍✨“

“Man first time coming here and the atmosphere feels modern very fresh, walking in into a modern barista bar , but for healthy people, I’ve got the breakfast bowl and it was the best food I’ve had believe me the chipotle sauce was fantastic left no crumbs. Overall if your losing weight or need something on the go this place has it for you! 10/10“

“Rikisimos los Cafes Frios“

“We stopped at a Starbucks in a grocery store near our hotel. There was one person taking orders and making drinks for 8 people in front of us. While in line I googled directions to a stand alone Starbucks. We got in the car and drove 1.5 miles to this Starbucks where there were 10 baristas and two people ahead of us. The coffees were perfect, probably because the barista had one job and minimal stress.“

“From the sweet aroma once you walk in to the pleasant atmosphere, this place is top-notch! Coffee is so fresh and delicious, empanadas are to die for! It is a bit of a drive for me since I live in Indio, but it’s so worth it with how amazing and fresh everything is here! You can find yourself sitting down at a table and just relaxing and enjoying the vibe.“

“I picked up some donuts for a few of our clients, but I struggled to carry all the boxes. Kenny noticed my difficulty and kindly offered to assist, despite being occupied with clients. Fortunately, some gentlemen also noticed my predicament and helped me transport all the donut boxes to my car in one trip.“

“It’s like cheers, where everyone knows your name😊 friendly staff“

“Green tea latte with oat milk and sugar free syrup. Moon cheese 🧀 1 carb“

“Parking needs an additional disabled spot. Be careful with drivers - people don’t care how they drive through this parking lot. I wish we were able to purchase bread through the drive thru. I was told by one employee in store that I could but that wasn’t the case at the ordering point. Overall it’s always clean and they usually have a good amount and variety of breads available.“

“I would say the store is original, signature, and actual. The drinks are all great, the foods are delicious, staffs are nice, the prices are affordable, ingredients are top-quality, the place is clean and nice-looking, the atmosphere is comfortable and cool. It is a really perfect place to hang out for every age. I’ve been coming here for like 3 years, since the day they first opened it. I highly recommend this place! Come through and try out some of the drinks and foods here! You won’t be disappointed. �“

“Thank you for being a smoke free venue“

“Nice to have this coffee shop in old town - it’s my go to even with its flaws. The line moves fast and the baristas are great.

The coffee needs work - I’m not sure if the espresso machine needs to be dialed in or cleaned more often, but 40% of the time (and I come often) the espresso is bitter or burnt.

It’s also surprising this place has no vegan pastries available - la quinta brings in guest from everywhere so it just makes sense to have these available even if it’s only during peak season. When I make the trek to IW coffee they make some effort to have muffins and cookies that are vegan.“

“The nicest personal I have ever encountered! Love the outside seating, very spacious. Good people and a great place to kick back and do your thing.“

“Thank you Irene and Mariah for making Jacque's 6 birthday breakfast such a beautiful experience.

These wonderful ladies sang my little dude Happy Birthday when we stopped in coffee and muffins. Thank you so much for the treats and for putting a huge smile on our faces 😊“

“Muy buen café y té excelente atención“

“Food & coffee was excellent as usual. But for the first time ever, the staff and atmosphere were disappointing. No personal cup discount or stars, despite saying it at the time of order. Plus, I handed her my cup and she filled it (counter order). Then the topper! The most neglected bathroom that i have ever encountered at Starbucks. Trash all over the floors and the walls need to wiped once in a while. (Photos included)“

“A Starbucks these days is just a Starbucks. The chain that launched a thousand real estate careers has pretty much homogenized itself into just another coffee shop. The thrill of going into the warm, inviting "third place" is gone. The Christmas time thrill of the "magic", not so much.

This location stands out a little, it still has seats around small tables, a community high top and one or two padded chairs. The wi-fi is still free and there are a pretty good number of electric outlets. But its all-neutral colors and hard edges. And a not too easy drive-thru lane.

But, the crew here is particularly sharp, they understand how to run the place and seldom get it wrong. The drive thru staff is efficient, they usually have pleasant words. Yeah, there are other locations that are closer, but this is the one we like the best.

I like Starbucks Coffee. It is my favorite; I used to go every day. Now it's once or twice a week. It is not as warm and welcoming. The prices seem to increase by the order, and long before "inflation" gave an excuse. Others, like San Diego's Buzz have the edge on ambiance now.

Remember when they promised coffee would always be their core product. Now you're lucky to find a package of beans at a Starbucks.

Parking: The lot is small, there is parking in the center lot, but not close and you have to cross a travel lane. They have occasional jam ups.“

“I frequently stay at the complex next door and this is my go to place for fresh delicious sandwiches and salads.
The only negative is that $2.50 for one banana is a bit much 😆
I had the Mediterranean salad tonight and it was enough for 2 people and so fresh and delicious. The servers were very friendly and kind.“

“I like the employees because they are friendly and attentive.“
