The Golden Dates Cafe

Do you want the best Baklava and Turkish coffee? Go to the Golden Dates Cafe. What a lovely spot and what lovely folks who run it! Usually I’m not a huge fan of Baklava but this one is different. Really featured the delicate pistachio flavor instead of an emphasis on the honey. The Turkish coffee was smooth with beautiful cardamom aromas. This will be a place I visit every time I’m in town!

Nice establishment with friendly people. The tea and baklava are tasty. Breakfast however felt a little bland and small in quantity. It is one of the few halal spots in Palm Springs though so that is nice for those that eat halal meat.

In love with the coffee and original food. Hidden gem for sure 💙💎
I’m so happy I was able to experience this cafe. The cafe was real cute, presentation of food and taste is well done. I couldn’t chose what to order for lunch or dessert. They’re sweets are so tempting. ALL they’re savory food sound and looked good on the menu. Thank you for the kind and good service 💙☕️

Beautiful place!! Reminds me of trips in the Middle East!!!
Cafe, bakery, market, ice cream, plus breakfast and lunch too!!!

There's something for everyone! All graciously handmade right there with wonderful friendly service, prices are average but portions are large (I only at least havelllf if my shawarma plate for lunch - the other half for dinner!), with plenty traditional menu items and some standard muffins, pastries too.

If you haven't been yet - you should go!!

This adorable floral oasis in a small strip was the perfect pick up we needed.
We were searching for a date shake, but I was super excited to have some Turkish and middle eastern desserts as well.
It's been a while since I've had such fresh and flavorful pistachio baklava of varying styles. Every one was outstanding. Tasted like my childhood!
The cardamom tea was a perfect end.
The owner was so kind and made us feel like old friends.
Thank you for the great experience!
Ps the date shake was a triple thumbs up from all of us!

A fun and lovely family owned cafe! We ordered a little bit of everything and very much enjoyed going back and forth between savory and sweet. The Turkish coffee service is very special, and we were greeted by the smiling and thoughtful family who took care of us and made great suggestions. This cafe brought smiles to all who came inside, and I’m very excited to have The Golden Date in our town. They’ll see us again for sure ☺️

I just went it for my time. First impression the cashier was very friendly and answered all
my questions and the location was beautiful. They had a beautiful wall with a violin in the middle but someone was sitting there when I walk in so I couldn’t take a picture I was there briefly since I had to get back to work I got a hazelnut latte and a few macaroons. Everything was great. Can’t wait to go back and try the Turkish coffee and desserts! Omgg the coffee was perfection!

Was visiting Palm Springs from LA and was craving something authentic and homemade. Found this awesome family-run cafe that recently opened. The family is so sweet - their sons are the sweetest. The food was DELISH! Exactly what I needed. We ordered beef kabob meal, chicken shawarma meal, chicken shawarma sandwich, hummus, and eggplant. We also ordered Turkish coffee, arabic coffee, and Iraqi tea. The desserts were amazing and authentic. We came in hungry and left FULL! It was one of the best meals I have had in years. So happy to have found this place and will DEFINITELY be returning!

Today we hade a wonderful lunch at the two middle eastern tea ☕️ which was as I never amazing with the test of the cardamom. Highly recommended this place and we are coming back for sure to test Dolma 😊

Delicious food and amazing service! The owners are very friendly, and they decorated the place beautifully. I wish I could give them more stars, and I will definitely be coming again.
