Cartel Roasting Co

I'm willing to drive 2 hours again just to grab a coffee from here. I don't remember specifically, but I asked the barista to simply give me something creamy, nutty and sweet and I believe I was served an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and agave syrup.

It just tasted different from the rest. Super good, clean place and friendly barista.

The coffee was great. However, the guy at the register was definitely in a horrible mood in the morning. Being rude to customers is not good for business.

My favorite coffee in the southwest, bar none. Been to the Tuscon and Palm Springs locations on various trips. The rotating featured drip coffee is so good, and love the chance to bring home a bag (or two) of beans.

Coffee aficionado from the Pacific Northwest was delighted to find Cartel Coffee while visiting Palm Springs.

AMAZING cappucino! Keeps me coming back daily.

Bit of a pricey place for a simple coffee, but it was made well.

Very good Coffee ! Too Late for Croissants !

Friendly atmosphere! I loved the music selection. There wasn’t a long line for coffee and the iced americano I ordered was very smooth. A little more pricey than I’m used to paying but it’s a great little place. The only thing I didn’t like was having to walk into the hotel pool next door to use the restroom:

We tried to like the coffee, we really did, having four coffees from here over two days. But, the coffee has that burnt, overly-acidic taste that is, unfortunately, all too common amongst new “trendy” cafes. The coffee just is not drinkable.

FINALLY!!! An excellent pour over in Palm Springs. Spent my last two vacations deprived of good coffee until I found Cartel. If you love third-wave coffee this is your new spot.
