I've never felt so welcome entering a coffee shop until today. Their kindness and banter is totally my jam. And their love for coffee totally matches mine. I could drink a pitcher of their iced dirty chai. No bitterness, no sugar needed. It's a rarity to find a coffee that I don't need to doctor up. Can we also take a moment to talk about their coffee packaging, ADORABLE. Putting a pin on this and making sure to come back the next time I'm in PS. read more

Stopped here prior to brunch and enjoyed my iced lavender honey latte. It was a standard latte that I could see myself getting if I passed by on a regular commute. Not too strong but not too milky. The cortado was also nice! A good amount of strength in that little drink with a picture perfect design. The mango tajin matcha lemonade was more refreshing as it wasn't a latte. It was supposed to be a limeade but they ran out. The lemonade was still a lighter touch. Cartel was pretty busy on a Saturday morning with regular traffic coming in & out. It's a little smaller with several tables for seating, including outside. I would like to try their pour over at some point. All flavor notes sound delicious! This place was a good, quick coffee fix. read more

Small coffee shop off a main street. Line was long but the team powered through it and got coffees out pretty quickly. Seating inside and outside. No covering for outside seating. They were out of the cold brew and other popular items but was helpful in helping us pick a different drink. Came out to $8 for each drink.. kinda spendy in my opinion. I got the honey and cinnamon iced latte, and fiancé got an iced dirty chai. Overall fine experience. read more

I came here because i kept hearing about it. This place was really good, my matcha lime made with tajin was amazing. I have had something as delicious as this. Then I ordered the burrito which was really good. I loved that as well. The service was good really good, they were very friendly. The vibe was friendly, they have an indoor and outdoor. It is a great place, I would recommend it to others. read more

Cartel Roasting still takes the crown for the best Matcha Latte in Palm Springs ! This is one of the rare places that really cares about the quality of the matcha powder they use. If you are an agave syrup sweetener lover ... they always have agave and you never have to panic about not having agave one day. I was surprise that I still had $3.00 in loyalty points left with them ... used the credit today as I wistfully ... said goodbye to them for a long long time. I will miss you Cartel read more

The roast on their beans is wonderful. So much that I decided to purchase a bag of their coffee after finishing my latte. It was a bit of a shock when it rang up at $27 for a 5.2 ounce bag of beans. Thankfully it came with a free drip coffee, and my man was looking for a refill so it kept me from openly weeping lol. I get it. The tariffs are making importing everything expensive, I'm sure including coffee beans from Central America. I would've appreciated a price tag on the bags just so I could've prepared myself for that reality. Also, I'm from San Diego and we have tons of coffee shops there and I buy beans at a lot of them and most of them sell at least an 8 ounce bag and for less than that price. I thought that the coffees were great, and the pastries were really good too, although there was no option to heat them. I thought that the interior was really cute and I loved how enthusiastically and creatively they decorated for Halloween. I would return, but don't think I would buy another bag of beans from there. read more

This is a small but cozy and super clean coffee joint. They have an enormous menu on the wall behind the front counter but a much more detailed one listing more specialized drinks on a laminated sheet. My "standard" cold brew was smooth and not bitter. Don't miss the organic simple syrup on the coffee bar. It's absolutely delicious. Yes, it's a little on the expensive side and you can thank the tariffs for that. But whatever, it's good coffee, in a cool little shop, and the counter folks are friendly. Free street parking along the main drag. read more

Cartel Roasting Co. - Standard cold brew was very nice. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palm Springs, California

I'm giving them 5 stars because the hot mocha I ordered online was fantastic. However, their wifi was apparently down when I arrived. There was a huge line of people also waiting for their orders. We had to request that my drink was made at that point, and thankfully they made it right away. Hopefully they figure out the wifi issue and maybe turn off online ordering if the wifi goes down. Nice area and location, street parking around. Very, very small space inside. read more

My wife and I are big matcha drinkers and we always make a point to find a good matcha spot when we travel. For our first morning in Palm Springs we stopped at Cartel Coffee because it was right across from where we were staying for our anniversary weekend. The shop itself is small but has a cool look with interesting art and a relaxed vibe. The staff were super friendly and welcoming and it definitely feels like a go to spot for locals who want a solid coffee or tea. I ordered a vanilla matcha latte and my wife got the honey lavender matcha. Unfortunately the vanilla matcha latte was a complete miss. It tasted mostly like milk with no real vanilla flavor and barely any matcha taste. I ended up swapping with my wife and her honey lavender matcha was definitely better with a unique flavor that was pleasant but not something I would order again. It seems like Cartel is more known for their coffee than their matcha and that is totally fine, but for us it was a little disappointing. We ended up finding a different place later in the day to get our matcha fix. Still, the shop has great service and a nice atmosphere if you are stopping in for coffee or just to hang out. read more

After visiting the Palm Springs Peaks tram I was in desperate need of coffee. This place was close by so I decided to give it a try. My almond milk latte was delicious. The coffee was strong and didn't taste watered down. Service was quick and the barista who made my drink was kind offering dinner suggestions in downtown area. Overall, a positive experience and I'll definitely be back here the next time I'm in town. read more

We stopped there on our way from Indio to Orange County. The staff was friendly and the drip coffee was good. We were hoping to grab a croissant, but they seem to be out of baked goods at 8:30 in the morning on a Monday. This is small shop some inside seating and some outside seating. Parking is on the street only, at least as far as we could tell. Next time, when we aren't in touch to hurry, we'll try a pour over. read more

A cozy coffee shop with great coffee. We were in Palm Springs and craving for local coffee speciality. Found this spot opening during the holidays/xmas so we stopped by. Ordered two lattes and definitely love the taste. Onward to buy two bags of coffee beans and surprised to find out they also offer one cup of free coffee for each of bag of coffee beans purchased! read more

Huge fan of Cartel Roasting. The staff is always friendly and the drinks hit the spot. My go to stop for caffeine when I'm in the area. Their chia is more spicy than sweet, which is a bonus in my book. The sugar free syrup is better than a lot other places too. Highly recommend trying them out! read more

Okay, first I have to say that I'm a bit of a coffee snob (I can admit it). Cartel Roasting Co. is by far, hands down, the best coffee spot that we tried in all of Palm Springs. It's a smaller coffee spot with a decent sized patio that produces top quality and very tasty coffee drinks. The staff are very nice and willing to help with your choices and really know their stuff. Great place to go to. I recommend you enjoy the coffee there to get the best experience. read more

Very quick service & a delicious cortado! However, $5.20 for a cortado is quite expensive, and this is coming from someone who frequents coffee shops everywhere I go. They have a variety of espresso drinks, teas, and some experimental drinks also. They sold beans (even decaf) you can take home if you'd like too. Street parking, relatively easy to get to. read more

First the workers are very kind and caring making sure they get your order perfect. They make your order super fast and still making your food and drinks taste amazing. The overall decor is wonderful giving a very nice rustic vibe with wood tables and pillars. Lastly the drinks and food was wonderful, the lemonade was the best lemonade I have ever had the sweet to sour ratio is perfect I give a 10/10. Next the croissant was perfectly baked nice and flaky with a perfect sweet taste. The Cartel Roasting Co. was one of the best coffee shops I have ever been too! read more

Cartel Coffee Co is where coffee goes to get its PhD in Palm Springs area. Order a drip and you'll find yourself swirling it like a sommelier, suddenly able to describe tasting notes like "stone fruit" and "reassurance." Best cortado in town and specialty drinks are extremely well balanced. The pastries are good, the caffeine is dialed in, and consider buying a bag of beans to remind you of how good life can be or a souvenir. read more

Cartel Roasting Co; what a cute lil' independent-owned coffee spot! I stopped by here twice whilst at a conference and was DELIGHTED with the beverages I got both times! Over the course of my visits, I ordered a simple vanilla latte with oat milk as well as an iced matcha with oat milk and a dash of cinnamon (you've GOTTA try this combination - it is SOOO GOOD!). Both of these drinks were absolutely delicious and a great way to start my day. I've gotta shout out the staff here; they're so kind, welcoming, and their service is great! I also liked how they sold a variety of beans and t-shirts for folks to take home. Overall, I recommend this spot to folks looking for a quick cuppa tasty jitter juice or tea! read more

Every time I'm at the Phoenix airport, I go to Cartel for coffee. So when I saw that they were at the hotel we were staying at, Arrive, I had to go! Cartel didn't disappoint. Highly competent and friendly baristas, and a variety of high quality beans from around the world to choose from. I enjoyed the cappuccino- perfectly balanced without a ton of foam, and the ginger turmeric latte. Perfect. My hubby stuck to the Americano and enjoyed it. They also have a variety of teas, and a matcha latte. They have baked goods and a few b'fast times, like a bfast burrito. Hubby had the blueberry muffin and said it was delicious. More like a scone than a muffin. However, for sweet, syrup flavored drink coffee lovers, they don't advertise many flavor options. Just vanilla, agave, and mocha flavors. After studying the menu I saw a lavender matcha, so they must have lavender on hand. Also a dehydrated citrus for a tonic drink. No bathroom. It's attached to a hotel, so I suppose you could get access to a bathroom if you ask. ‍ I'm staying at the hotel. Outdoor patio for cooler months. Still, it's a great spot to chill, people watch, and enjoy a high quality roast. read more

Great experience!! Walked in and had some questions and the gentleman helping was so nice!! I didn't want my matcha sweetened and the guy happily did it! They normally add vanilla whic my friend got and she said it wasn't too sweet either! Very good matcha flavor, it did get clumps shortly after we got it but I just shook it and it iced again so not a big deal! Very cute seating area inside and I love that they sold topo Chico sparkiling and Icelandic regular water which I love both of those! read more
