Cartel Roasting Co

HIP SCENE - STRONG BREWS. Stopped by for an iced green tea and a Matcha. Added a sweet treat from the counter. Very cool coffee spot next to the Arrive Hotel. Even with the place being very busy, the staff was super friendly. Will be going back tomorrow morning!

Cartel Roasting Company receives their beans from their main roasting facility in Arizona.

The beans are fresh and the espresso was strong, and properly comes with a side of sparkling water.

Nice little spot on the way into Palm Springs.

This coffee shop has a cozy ambiance and an extensive menu with a wide range of delicious coffee options. The signature latte is one of the best I've ever had, with perfectly steamed milk and rich, bold espresso. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the shop is committed to sustainability. Highly recommended for coffee lovers!

Nice ambiance and great coffees! Been here a few times and the quality of the coffees was very consistent. Not gonna lie but the chocolate croissant we had there one morning didn’t seem to be fresh though.

Can't miss coffee shop in Palm Springs! We went here every day on our honeymoon and every latte we had was the perfect latte. We bought a couple of bags of coffee to take home and they were fabulous! Staff was so kind and knowledgeable.

One of the best coffee shops we have been to. The pour over was made using Chemex (my personal favorite method) and tasted bright and fruity. The CCL was also delicious- a perfect compliment to the pour over. We would definitely come back.

One of the best oat milk lattes I have ever had. I have been to many local coffee shops, including some incredible ones in NYC. This was superb! The vegan breakfast burrito was delicious too. And I tried a bite of my mom’s lemon poppyseed scone - yum! Also loved the relaxed atmosphere and the good vibes from the baristas.

I really liked this place! I ordered the matcha late and it wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet. My sister said the coffee was great and went down smooth. They also get burritos from the hotel/restaurant next door. The BPE burrito was SO good! The bacon made all the difference with some secret smoked flavor. I also bought some coffee beans to take home. I’ll be visiting again next time I’m in Palm Springs :) 5 stars for sure!

The barista made a latte instead of a cortado. He did offer to remake it though.

Before I end my weekend in Palm Springs, I decided to check out another local coffee shop. Cartel was highly rated so I decided to give it a try. I wasn't sure where to park and ended up in the Arrive hotel parking lot in the back street, walked around the pool and get to the front street again where the entrance to Cartel is. Arrive Palm Springs looks like a really nice place to hang in Palm Springs. Will have to check it out in future visit. Now back to the coffee shop, the coffee was good but I don't find it particularly strong. The almond croissant was nicely baked and crunchy. I enjoyed the croissant more than the latte. The store itself is relatively smallish but its not super busy so plenty of seats. I will definitely keep this place in my back pocket and give a try again if I am in the neighborhood and get a parking spot up front.
