    Iced Matcha Latte
    Mary D.

    Everytime we stay in the area Hot Lips is an Absolute MUST! The coffee shop itself has local artist merchandise. It's clean and most importantly the BEST MATCHA LATTE!

    Our Sunshine Sisters event.

    We love our Hot Lips Coffee spot in Cat City. Tara is amazing and so warm and friendly. This little gem is a must stop in as you drive 111. You might even find that perfect vintage piece in her collection for sale. Don't miss it.

    Such a cute sitting area and totally unique gifts.

    Such a cute place. She mixed my iced tea to perfection for me. The coffee was outstanding. Had an interesting conversation with some snowbirds.

    Cute lil colorful place in Cathedral City, we were greeted by the owner..very nice, polite & attentive; the hubby got a iced golden milk latte & your truly got an iced black coconut tea it was so tasty & refreshing! We sat for awhile, don't let it fool you from the outside, it's pretty spacious & they had some 80's music playing

    If I could rate this 100/100, I would! I absolutely love love love this hidden gem. I wanted some coffee this morning but didn't want to go to Starbucks so I did a quick search and man, I'm so happy to have found this place! I'm born and raised a desert rat so it's nice to see something bright and colorful in Cathedral City! Coffee had great flavor and great pricing! My favorite part is this shop doubles as a mini vintage storefront as well. As a lover of Coffee, Vintage/Thrifting, AND disco - I never want to leave!

    Yummy Pastries!

    As a former Yelp Elite member with over 5.5 million followers and an active member of the Yelp Community since 2009... I can wholeheartedly say that I love love LOVE this coffee shop for everything it does The VIBE is FIRE The Owner is FIRE The DECOR is FIRE And the service is FIRE While this is not at all even closely related to the Fire Festival .... We could all have a party with all of our friends here and it would be EPIC. When I walk in every morning Tara greats me with a massive bubbly smile and that makes my WHOLE day. Thank You. Thanks for being you

    Friendly service. Lots of fun colors, retro vibe, and good space to get some work done.

    I'd give Hot Lips 10 stars if I could! Tara, the owner, is so sweet, fun and dedicated. There's lots of comfy seating that allows the customer the relax and enjoy their beverage and treats. The vibe created by the decor and music is energetic and cozy at the same time. Feels like you're hanging out at a friend's. They serve Equator Coffees which is one of the best brands I've tasted. She'll customize your drink to make it perfect for you. When you're in the mood for something different, try the matcha latte. She uses a traditional matcha bowl to whisk the powder to perfection. The pastries and baked goods are delicious. She carries a variety of sweet danishes and savory items like spinach quiche and ratatouille. Bonus: You can shop vintage clothing and accessories while sipping your favorite drink. It's a plus that you can support a local and woman-owned business, too.

    Iced Lavender latte
    Marcie M.

    This is exactly what I would expect a coffee shop to look like in Palm Springs! Not only does it have a coffee bar, but it also has a section of vintage clothing and accessories, as a well as, handmade wares by local artisans. I loved the retro stripes on the walls, and the puffy pink chairs. We ordered a chai latte and lavender latte. Chef's kiss! The siren can't hold a candle to the quality of the drinks at Hot lips! The owner was super sweet and she was wearing the coolest vintage dress! We didn't have time to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere because we were headed out of town. We will definitely be back because this is now one of our favorite spots for coffee.

    Food: I did not try the food but their danish options looked delicious! I am watching what I eat so sweets are off my menu. Service: FANTASTIC!! I love talking with small businesses about their products and how they became successful. This owner is very kind and passionate about what she does. Ambiance: the vibes are so positive I believe the plants outside were dancing!!

    Espresso
    Shamim W.

    If I could give this place 100 stars I would. It's SUCH A GREAT VIBE from the second you walk in. Mac helped us today - he was amazing. It wasn't just how he treated us that impressed me - it was how I observed him treating everyone else. And get this - I am a lifelong Rocky fan - and the espresso they serve here is called "Eye of the Tiger Espresso". The beverage and the croissant were DELICIOUS. Thanks for a great experience!

Service at the counter was bright and super pleasant to speak with, no sassy hostility here only smiles and speedy service. My orders came out quickly and I was on my way in less than 5 minutes from the moment I parked to the moment I drove off! This location is in a slightly less than busy shopping center but I am happy for the ample parking accommodations. Inside of the establishment it was clean and the fresh food items were moderately stocked even though it was late in the day. All of the tables were clean and the cream and sugar station was well stocked. All in all I got everything I expected in a speedy and pleasant fashion. Will make this location one of my go to stops for coffee from now on.

    My husband and I came out to the Cathedral City/Palm Springs area for a little getaway to relax,…read moreand while searching for a nearby coffee spot, we stumbled across Cafecito Calaveras and we are SO glad we did! Their matchas were honestly some of the best we've ever had. We tried the horchata matcha, which was incredibly flavorful and perfectly balanced, and the blueberry matcha, which was also delicious and refreshing. For food, we ordered the CC Burrito and added carne asada, absolutely amazing! Everything was packed with flavor, and the tater tots on the side were the perfect addition. The salsa deserves its own shoutout because it was THAT good. The customer service was excellent too. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the whole vibe made us want to come back... which we did the very next day! This time we tried the tres leches espresso and the iced churro espresso, and both drinks were incredible. We'll definitely be coming back on future trips and referring friends and family!

    I must say the clerk that I saw Monday morning about 830am was absolutely a Godsend…read more I believe her name is Lisa. She did greet me with a cheerful "good morning" when I walked through the door. She seemed somewhat busy. And I figured it was just another hurry up and get my stuff and leave. I was the third person in line waiting to pay. I was honestly amazed when she went to the check out and called the next person in line. This lady was operating two cash registers. And speaking to everyone. I was treated like a "regular" even though I had never stepped foot in the store before. As she was ringing me up for my coffee and donuts, she asked me how I was, and how my day was. This whole one minute conversation we had I felt like I was important to that business. If only other stores had employees like her. I know that 7-Eleven looks at her as a lowly little cashier. But she made a difference to me on that day. And I do hope to see her again.

There was one slice left, and the customer in front of me bought it, along with almost everything else what was hot. I don't blame the customer, but the lone slice of pizza looked pretty sad, as if it had been sitting there a while. Although I've found a few seconds in the microwave can usually zap them back to life. Since I wasn't even greeted when I came, and this particular customer was taking a while, I decided to leave. It's a bummer to because I went out of my way for a slice of pizza and Cherry Slurpee and left with neither.
