I love their coffee!
The service is so bad they have skipped my order on multiple occasions. The slowest service I've ever experienced. And I only order coffee with half and half. I won't be going back.

Coffee was not good, has strange taste or everything is SUPER sweet. No coffee taste at all.

I really think this place is understaffed. I've got no complaints with the staff they have, Jason is awesome and remembered my name after like two visits! But they always seem slammed, at least in the mornings when I go and nobody is really dedicated to just the register like at Starbucks so the staff is running back and forth from making drinks to the register. Like I said, I don't think it's their fault they just need another person or two. Maybe somebody important will read this and give them some more help.

I love this place. Near my office
From only my second visit here, 4 separate baristas remembered my slightly-complicated drink order (Iced Macha Latte with strawberry puree and double boba). I must say, the manager, Diana, is exceptional. She's always so friendly, welcoming, patient, sincere, and so professional. I love seeing her when I visit. Even if she doesn't take my order, she always makes sure to say hi and asks how I'm doing. Jason is also top-notch and so funny. I feel bad that I can't recall the names of the other baristas I see frequently, but they're awesome, too.
I much prefer their drinks and food over sbx. My favorite is the Caprese Sandwich. It's so cheesy and delicious. I also love the overnight oats! I get them every time I visit (which is almost every day).
My favorite drink is their matcha latte. It is far superior to any other matcha I've tried. Get it with a little strawberry puree mixed in. You'll thank me later. Let's not forget that they have real boba that they make in-house. I literally recommend adding it to every drink. I even love it in my matcha latte!
For anyone on the fence, ditch sbx and make this your preferred coffee shop. You get a far more personalized experience and far better quality and taste. Even their teas are better. And of course, their espresso.
You can mobile order, just like most places and they're quite fast. You also earn points in the app for each purchase, which you can accrue to use for free drinks, food, and merchandise. I recommend getting a digital CoffeeBean gift card in the app to pay so you earn points faster. If you go almost daily, that'll get you a free drink every week (I order a drink and food item each time).
If you're used to sbx, yes, they have the equivalent of frapps and just about everything. They just call them blended drinks. I'm personally not a fan of blended drinks, but my friends who have tried them here say they're very good.
I love this place, and for all the reasons I mentioned above, I keep coming back every day! I know you'll love it too!

Amazing coffee! Great price. The place is so beautiful, in the heart of Palm Dessert so the area is high-end and well-taken care of. I wish they had these chains sooo bad in Florida. It’s high-end but not expensive and the coffee is creamy and delicious. Plus, they have other equally as tasty treats such as teas and now they added
boba. Expand your franchises to Florida pleaseeee

Placed order through the app. Picked up right before close. I wanted to run into the lobby to grab it because there was car sitting in the drive thru lane and I was running late for work but they already locked the door. The guy waved me to the drive thru. Grabbed the coffee and took one sip and it tasted like acid. Very disappointing. This is the second time I have had an issue with this location. Last time they automatically charged me a tip without my consent.
