“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.“
“This is one of the absolute best Starbucks! It is always clean and neat. Baristas are knowledgeable, friendly and experienced. Orders are always on point and tasty. No skimpy drinks here. Fast and easy. The parking lot is small and a pain, but there is a drive thru.“
“The people here are exceptional. They are fast and make great drinks. I made a mistake today and ordered from the wrong location on mobile order, when I got to the store and realized they were super understanding and made my drinks on the spot. They are the best location!“
“If I could leave 10 stars, I would! Alex and his team exude a welcoming atmosphere, outstanding customer service, and listening skills second to none. If you want to experience service the way it used to be, forsake all other Starbucks in the area and come here. See if you are not writing a similar review!“
“This is the BEST Starbucks in the Desert! This morning, I unfortunately ordered from another Starbucks...hence why I needed coffee in the first place LOL and they were so kind to go ahead and make my order here so I could go on about my day. THANK YOU to this amazing team for going above and beyond the call of the duty.“
“I don't tend to drink coffee very often. And to be honest I'm not much amof a Starbucks fan. However, on this occasion I tried an Iced Lavender Matcha. It was given to me by mistake. I immediately thought, No way would I ever drink this floral drink. Well... as I was making that loud noise trying to get the last few drops of liquid with my straw, I must tell you... That drink was sooooo good. It was not floral at all. It was a great balance of matcha and sweet. I need to find a copy-cat recipe.
Not a photo of my actual drink, but that's what it looked like. (I never thought I'd be raving about it)“
“Always enjoy having a good starbucks on site at the JW Marriott here in Palm Dessert. It opens at 530am and closes at 2pm. Be prepared as the line is always long unless you get there early, but the staff was very cheerful and helpful when I was there for a couple of days. Got my OG iced Carmel Macchiato. See you next year when we return.
Parking: Plenty of parking at hotel ?
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ♿️ space and doors to hotel and starbucks.“
“Friendly staff with very good service. They offer all of the Starbucks products you would find at other store plus many more. You cannot use the Starbucks app. At this location. Nice area to sit and enjoy your time in Barnes and Noble. It’s nice to have the option to grab a drink or snack item without running through the mall if you are just visiting the bookstore.“
“Feels like home ☕️🌴
Just five minutes from my house — and this Starbucks has slowly become my go-to spot over the past year. I keep coming back because every visit feels a little different, yet always good.
The baristas here really try — they notice you, remember your face, and make sure you leave with a smile. Today, a new girl was behind the counter, and she nailed it — warm welcome, quick service, and a perfectly made coffee.
There’s something special about starting your day in a place where people genuinely care about your experience. Clean space, calm morning energy, and a cup made just right — that’s why I keep coming back.
