We visited Blends in the Pechanga Casino lobby for the first time, after usually getting coffee from the food court. The beautiful, clean, and organized space immediately gave off a cozy vibe, and the display of pastries and breakfast sandwiches was impressive. My sister and I were excited for our treat, a hot white mocha and carrot cake for me, and a hot café latte with a pistachio eclair for her. Everything tasted incredible. Our drinks were made perfectly, and the pastries were super fresh. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. The staff was disengaged, and our barista handed us our drinks without any greeting or eye contact, which was an odd and unwelcoming experience. Although we were happy with our treats, I'll be heading back to our usual spot in the food court next time I need my casino caffeine.

Would give zero if I could. Walked in and there was no line so I ordered 1 drink right away. I waited 25 minutes and finally asked about it, I noticed they rang me up for the wrong drink and didn’t include my additional shot as asked. When I asked about my addition shot on the remake, the barista was insistent on charging me, which would have been fine if I didn’t order it when I ordered, I don’t mind paying but I waited over 25 minutes for a single coffee. The cafe wasn’t packed or busy. The coffee taste just like a cup of milk with syrup. The coffee is disgusting and their service SUCKED! Never experienced such bad service for a single coffee. I should have just asked for a refund but I was so irritated I walked out.

Place was packed, coffee was average. Could have been better. Pricing was kinda high. Service was average. Didn't hate it but didn't love it. Would I go back? Probably not.

Delicious blended frozen iced coffees (I had the 20oz white mocha). As it’s the only Starbucks-esque coffee place here at the Pechanga resort, you’ll pay a large premium (it’s more expensive than Starbucks). The only other coffee option is in the food court but it offers much lower quality coffees, options for food and drinks, and a lower service level with not that much of a reduction in price. Overall, not a bad place to grab a morning coffee or beverage. If you want the best breakfast possible for US$20-$25, get your fancy coffee here and then grab your food from the American Classics (or whatever it’s called) establishment in the food court.

Love staying at Pechanga when in town. This coffee shop used to be so much fun. Today, all four of the workers were so unpleasant. All had a look of disgust in their face for having to be there. Coffee was barely warm. What happened to this little gem?

Coffee is good, and they do have sweet treats, bagel breakfast sandwiches, croissants, etc for snacking. Staff were quick and friendly, I am only giving this 4 stars because of the prices - $14 USD for a medium coffee and a bagel with cream cheese seems steep.

Slowest coffee bar on planet earth. Employees just standing around not worrying about customers or orders
It's a nice place to visit for a quick drink, or bite to eat. The only thing that might hold you up is the line. It seems to be quite popular. Whenever I'm here there is usually a line.
Coffee, salads, sandwiches, and other odds and ends. Can all be found here. Everything I've ever had here has been good quality and tasted great.

SWEET TREATS w/ ok COFFEE… the coffee is serviceable, it’s almost too bitter but it’s not horrible. I ordered one large and small coffee, and received too smalls so I wasn’t too happy about that! The stand-outs here are the delectable treats, I HIGHLY recommend the chocolate ganache brownie, it was perfect for my sweet tooth and the brownie wasn’t dry. The ganache was really good for a café treat! The staff are kind of sour here, similar to the rest of the Pechanga staff, I don’t know if there’s something in the air but they seemed irritated. I kindly took my leave as I just wanted my coffee and didn’t want to be amongst the questionable vibes lol. The shop has a lot of seating and has an excellent use of natural light with windows. It’s close to the front of the hotel and near the Pechanga Café so if you want a dessert, I’d recommend coming here! They have red velvet cupcakes, carrot cake and other treats! I asked for a nitro cold brew and they said they didn’t have any, maybe it’ll be back soon?

Convenient grab-and-go, or grab-and-sit-down place to either recharge with a drink or snack.Deserts and sandwiches in the case are inviting. The Coffee menu is long with even a Mexican Chocolate option. Espresso drinks are strong and coffee quality is above average.Power outlets are readily available making this place an excellent alternative to finding a couch or chair in other parts of this resort.Pricing for convenience is the theme here, but where else are you going to go if you don't need to go back up to your room?
