Cartel Roasting Co

Great staff and the best coffee.

Love Cartel Coffee Lab! Definitely the friendliest staff I've ever dealt with at any coffee house. The environment is intimate, sunny and we'll designed. And they make a mean dirty Chai! ❤️

The best coffee I have had in Palm Springs. Very good espresso with freshly roasted coffee which is a must for the best espresso pulls. The machiato was great with sparkling water on the side.

So far the best coffee in PS, and I've tried a few places. Knowledgeable, careful baristas, good variety of beans. Highly recommended.

Great coffee. Always a stop on our trip to Palm Springs. Hasn't disappointed in quality of their products and customer service!

Great coffee, went twice while staying at Fleur Noire hotel right across the street. Mocha is great, pastries are great.

Perhaps living in the center (PDX) within the center (PNW) of coffee culture-land by way of some osmosis has developed a radar whereby locating an area’s best available coffeeshop comes easy & involves no need for prior research of rankings, reviews, or articles.

For me, a coffeeshop must:
1) Primarily focus on....coffee...no shakes, super-power-açaí juices, or gourmet sandwiches in the mix
2) Keep the vibe simple & have an atmosphere reflecting the region which makes diverting a customer’s attention from a subpar espresso difficult. Also, I have yet to feel swept away & transported to the 6th Arrondissement.

My intuition bested itself finding Cartel as the location, vibe, offerings, & (insert ANY superlative) barista Brittney were & are perfect.

Disappointing after a long wait to have a baristas say they know how to make a dry cappuccino when they clearly don’t. Be honest & I’d gladly order something else!

I visited Cartel three times during my week in Palm Springs. The coffee was consistently excellent and the staff was pleasant and knowledgeable. I highly recommend visiting and plan on returning next time I am in town.

Super friendly, excellent coffee, didn't blink when I made a special request
