7 Best Coffee Shops in La Quinta

“Had to drop a star‑studded review for Yes Please, this little café is a gem!
The avocado toast with beets and arugula is simply perfection. The baked goods, especially huckleberry scones and flaky biscuits, had me hooked. Coffee? Next level.
During a Sunday street fair it was busy, but the team handled it like pros—with big smiles and efficient service.
Pet‑friendly outdoor patio, good parking, and a menu with something for everyone. Breakfast and lunch only, but it’s absolutely worth the early start.
5/5 and can’t wait to return!“

“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“

“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)“

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

“I love the newly renovated ambiance, the yummy vanilla latte with oat milk, and the exciting new updates Jodie from CaliRosina is putting towards this cute cafe in Old Town La Quinta!!! She truly believes in providing customers with the highest quality ingredients made without fillers and artificial ingredients. She sources some of the best tea from around the world and coffee from small business roasters that take pride in the products they produce. She's filled with detailed knowledge on tea + chocolates from Cali Rosina, and she's bringing her very educated background to Main Street Coffee! The best quality beverages are worth the wait, hand crafted to order. As she's putting her love and efforts into Main Street Coffee while balancing Cali Rosina, be sure to give her some grace during this transitional time period. It's a lot of work behind the scenes, but she's always soo delightful you wouldn't know just how much love is poured into every drink. I'm excited to hang out and enjoy lattes at the cafe this fall season! Well done Jodie + Team!!!!“

“Happy Tea is my go-to boba spot in Lq. The space is always clean and chill for catching up with a friend or just taking a break. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, they always let you know they’re happy to make any adjustments to your drink if needed.

As for the drinks, everything I’ve tried has been genuinely delicious. I highly recommend the Rose Garden if you're looking for something light and refreshing with lychee and boba. The Taro, and the Mango Slush w/o cheese foam) is also recommended. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Happy Tea is easily one of the best spots in LQ. Thank you to the ppl working there for always keeping the vibe at top-tier.“

“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.“
