5 Dollars for a bottle of Smart water. Never seen that anywhere. Just a rip-off.
Best coffee in Palm Springs! Treat yourself to one of their fresh baked muffins or order breakfast. My fav muffin is the gluten free glorious morning! Lunch is available along with other items.
Looking for chai? Don't bother, theirs is powdered.
The pistachio walnut muffin was the best. Friendly staff.
Enjoyed the golden oat latte and vegan overnight oats
Amazing bagels, friendly staff. I love Ristretto
Great food and service — the best coffee/latte — and friendly. Nice place to relax for a bit.
A great stop for your morning coffee and pastry! We visited three times while we were in Palm Springs. The New York Coffee Cake was amazing!
Coffee was ok
We ordered a ristretto shot of espresso and the end product was bitter, watery and undrinkable. Ended up going down the street to Cartel where they offer proper coffee service.
Coffee is not good. Ordered 2 cappuccinos to go and after two sips we are heading to Cartel to try their coffee. Coffee was bitter and not drinkable. Waste of $$.
Your average coffee shop (good espresso machine but the place is not the most cozy)
Great coffee and friendly service. I do prefer a darker coffee and it was a bit hit and miss. The two lattes ordered were not consistent: one is darker and sweeter (perfect for me) and the other one has more milk and less sweet. Other than that the coffee was good and the two baristas were so friendly and nice.
A few months ago we met a friend for lattes. We had a gift card from her. We received an undrinkable latte on this occasion. Bitter, weak, poorly prepared, poorly drawn. I left half in the cup, frustrated and disappointed. Yet again a "green" barista. So sorry as we are occasional customers who meet this same friend. Not sure we can endure again.
No reason to come here. Coffee is just ok. You will get a much better espresso at Ernest, Cartel, La Jefa, and even Koffi. Ristretto croissants look very wrong—pale and bready—so I didn’t get one. Their decor is generic and corporate.
Holy moly these muffins!!
Their morning muffins are are amazing. Warm and fresh made on site every morning! We had the orange muffin and it was amazing. The coffee is pretty good too. A great place to have a great cup of coffee
This place is easy/convenient for where our Air BnB was. Parking is easy and lots of seating. However, the price point is a little crazy. A very average bagel with cream cheese is over 6$. I understand inflation but it’s not really worth the money. We ended up spending a bunch of money here just based on convenience and being very hungover. Just get a table at an actual restaurant in town. You’ll get table service and more value.
I recently stayed a week in Palm Springs and found Ristretto a few days in. It's on Palm Canyon Drive but out of the hustle and bustle of the busy downtown area. I loved it and wished I had found it sooner. Everyone who works there (that I was able to meet) is full of light and delightful to engage with. I loved the coffee, and if you get a drip in a for here mug you can sit outside and people watch or read with endless refills, for better or for worse. If you have the opportunity, Ristretto is an excellent way to start an early morning.
This was the best coffee we found in Palm Springs, and it's It's only slightly off the beaten path, so it wasn't as crowded as all the others, and it had the coolest atmosphere and great service and even some good food and pastries. Highly recommend!
