This is the 2nd time I have visited Desert Hills Premium Outlets and have eaten at Kahala's. Both times Todd was there, the owner. Turns out he has been there for over 30 years. Got to speak with him 3 years ago, and then a few days ago. Super nice and helped me and a friend pick out our meals. This time it was the turkey with provolone cheese, chips, and a strawberry smoothie. My friend had already eaten but got an iced coffee drink. My sandwich was very good. It was morning still and the smoothie was a bit too much to drink, but we thanked Todd, and he gave me a sweet iced tea on the house to go. This mall is huge and I think they only have one restaurant and a small food court with like 6 eateries. I recommend this one, and I recommend coming to these outlets at least once. It's worth the drive. Thx again Todd. read more

Worst ever coffee experience: rude service, bad quality coffee and extremely expensive! Holy moly: I like coffee and can wait 15min in line but not to be treated like sh*t - on top of it all the 'freshly' brewed potion tasted of stale water and shoelaces.... Avoid this scam! read more

Love seeing a local, family owned business doing what they do best. Tuna salad is packed and well made, also comes with your choice of chips. Owner is so nice and attentive! read more

Long live Surf City, one my favorite smoothie spots that close down. Came back to life but rebranded. Had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Todd! The smoothies, taste exactly how I remember. read more

Stopped to grab a quick bite at Cabazon Outlets while our EV was charging nearby. This place is great to grab a sandwich (comes with a bag of chips for ~$15), smoothie, or shake (~$10.50). The sandwiches are nothing special, and the date shake is mostly ice cream with a faint date flavor. But the service at the counter was warm and quick. read more

We were hot and thirsty. 98 degrees outside. We ordered a large Diet Coke. I know. I know. A review for a soda sounds weird but - stay with me. We were greeted by a man who had a big smile and seemed very sincere when he asked how I was doing. We ordered the soft drink and he seemed pleased to be able to serve it to us, as if it were a $50 order or something. In any case, for one short moment a nice man made us a cold drink and he brightend our day. read more

The service here was wonderful. The staff were attentive when ensuring my aunt had the right amount of coffee in her customized drink. Thank you for providing great service when the weather was horrible read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and had a wonderful experience! Super friendly service and the meatball soup was delicious! Also had the BEST date shake ever!! Perfect amount of date to ice cream ratio. Wish I lived closer - but will definitely stop every time I'm in the area! read more

Todd is such a sweet man! He is funny and knowledgeable in the menu and makes a delicious peanut butter banana smoothie. My cousin was raving about the smoothie from here and I had to try it... so glad I did! They make it right in front of you so you see what goes in the smoothie and how generous they are with their ingredients. I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

Coffee is so good! Strong coffee taste! Ordered a sugar-free vanilla latte iced. And the guy who helped me was extremely nice !! I wanna come here again for the coffee!! read more

Service !!!! 1 person 10 people in line. Specialty drinks ordered blended and paid for by the same person.

Perfect refreshment on a scorching day! I grabbed a pineapple coconut orange smoothie from Kahala Coffee Traders and it was exactly what I needed--tropical, icy, and not too sweet. The staff was kind, quick and efficient, and the service was incredibly helpful. Will definitely be back! read more

The service was really good. The smoothies were really good as well Only thing is kinda expensive for a smoothie. Total was $22.09 for the 2 jumbo. Alot of variety as well so you will definetly find something to order. Prices arnt really posted on alot of items so when you get the bill can be a bit surprising. Nice treat to cool down though. read more

A MUST STOP at Cabezon Outlets (front side entrance of the East Village Cafe). My favorite item on the menu is the banana/strawberry fresh fruit smoothie. This is a family owned and operated location and they provided a variety of smoothies, coffees, cold drinks, ice cream, pastry, and several food items. The staff are friendly and provide great service. read more

Really nice selection of drinks! We were in the mood for smoothies and this place was exactly what we were looking for but better. The Mango/Pineapple was delicious and refreshing and Muscle Enhancer smoothie was creamy and filling yet delicious. The owner made our smoothies and was very quick and kind. There was a bit of line but the line was moving quickly. Def recommend. read more

Ok.....Barista, you need to learn how to make iced coffee. This isn't it. Can't even compare to Bodhi Leaf Coffee Traders. OMG. My drink came out to be tasteless. I even went to the counter to ask for more coffee. Seriously?! Wasted me $7....cute decorations on the back wall but oh come on. You gotta be joking. My drink looked so bad I didn't care to take a pic. Just don't bother. Never going back again.....just think This purchase as a donation. Be ware. These baristas don't know how to make iced coffee. Even my work's Keurig tastes better than this crap! read more

I had just finished camping at Joshua Trees with about 10 friends. Then we decided to go to Cabazon Outlets to do some shopping and browsing since Black Friday is around the corner and also Christmas is next month. I was really drained from the camping trip, so I definitely needed some coffee. I know there is a Starbucks here but I wanted to try a different coffee place and this place sounded so amazing and the menu was pretty big so I decided to try this place out. The ambience was all right since it is shared with other restaurants. And the service was really good. The employees were patient and recommended the best options of whatever you wanted. But the reason for the two stars is because everything here was very overpriced. I bought a large iced caramel coffee for about $7.50 and with tax it was about close to $9 dollars. I know inflation is going up and increasing these prices but for coffee it is too overpriced. Not even Starbucks sells coffee that expensive. I wanted to give it a try even though it was overpriced but the coffee was very diluted and tasted more like sugar water instead. Something that you can purchase at 7-Eleven. My friends really wanted some ice cream, and out of eight of them, only two people buy ice cream because they really wanted some but the rest decided not to buy it from there because it was too overpriced. A cone was about seven dollars, almost the same price as the coffee. And even with that price you are able to buy a pint of ice cream elsewhere. Overall, I definitely will not come back to this place at all. read more

Worst customer service ever. Food are not fresh and cup of water is not free with $45 purchase. I wish in my next cabazon trip I will not see this place anymore. read more

I am very surprised with my purchase. I ordered one hot coffee and saw $4.75 first, then I asked for a cup of hot water to take medicine. The old man said a cup of hot water will go with fee. I was okay for that, but totally my bill was $7.25. What??? How much is a cup of hot water? $2.5? The price of coffee is also overpriced than other stores, especially the big store like Starbucks. Just hot coffee, no cream no milk, no specific, with a regular cup. I know we are going to the shopping, but the price of them is not suitable. I wanted to share my experience. I looked on the reviews of them, many many bad reviews with same experience like me. Sorry. I never come back. read more

So Todd helped us on this busy summer Sunday. Let's skip how good the coffee was or how neat and organized the actually establishment is. big kudos to Todd. he had a big smile on his face and helped us out with our order with amazing customer service. He was the only one working the line was always 8-9 people long and no matter how busy it got this man did not take his foot off the gas. I watched him as i drank my coffee and customer after customer he was extremely helpful and super quick at the register. i can appreciate a hard working person like that. i hope this place gets properly staffed eventually because todd deserves a break! read more

Pretty good smoothies for an outlet. So many options but mostly the same! Refreshing for the hunt! Nice staff, quick fix! read more

First time nice place great selection of cold drinks service wasn't good sound like the lady behind the counter just don't care she just there read more

Enjoyed the fresh fruit smoothie and the nachos. Found the male sales associate very helpful.

Big thank you to Esmerelda! She was an awesome help to us while we were shopping the premium outlets in Cabazon. Her customer service went beyond taking our order and fulfilling it correctly. She had this calming and sweet personality that was very radiant. Customer service is big for me and I believe every other customer. It's great to experience service that makes you happy about spending your money. I hope the business owners read this review and understand that Esmeralda is a true gem. read more

Just need a cup of hot water. Tell me $5. Hope you close soon.Stay away from this store, go to a store that makes you happier and Pay less.

I ordered a lg power smooth at $8.50, Register showed 9.43 total.. I asked the lady I thought it was 8.50 and she replied "yes, plus tax" I know my math that it was too much.. I asked for the receipt and she kept the itemized copy and gave me the credit card amount transaction only. 8.75 + 7.75% tax = 9.43 8.50 + 7.75% tax = 9.15 Watch your totals as they might scam you for extra! read more

The sweetest and most kind man, excellent service and the best iced coffee I have had (and I am very picky). I got an iced caramel latte half sweet and it was great. If I lived in palm springs I would come here everyday. Thank you for making my day! read more

Hopefully the lady is the owner. Not sure how can you be this rude in the hospitality business. Party of 5 here today and I am just writing in front of her. I felt sorry ordering for about $50 something as I needed to order one after one while she was preparing. She was getting mad because I ordered a lot. It is located inside the outlet mall so understand she's dealing with rude fobs from overseas but a small smile won't kill. At least say thank you to your customers read more

Kahala Coffee Traders - The rudest employee ever. Hopefully she owns this place - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cabazon, California

From the first impression to the last impression, this place is not concern at all about customer service or customer satisfaction but feeds out of the fact that there is no other coffee stand nearby. We spent about $30 on coffees and snacks but we walked away feeling crappy and I was so close to asking her for a refund. The lady gave us the biggest attitude and did not have any fundamental customer ethics 101...! She lady was simply mean...! The coffee was way too dark so we asked for some hot water and she charged us a dollar. Ok that would have been fine if she didn't give us the biggest attitude!!! Note to owners of this coffee shop: get your customer service straight...! Your employees represent your company's image and having service like this should never be tolerated. I will never ever return here for anything...if I happen to be craving coffee, I will walk a bit further for Starbucks! Customer service: epic fail!! read more

Kahala Coffee Traders - Wow worst service ever...!!!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cabazon, California

Needed coffee while shopping at Cabazon and there was no Starbucks in sight. Ordered a mocha latte and a cup of chili. I know, a totally random combination... but the warm chili looked so enticing on that cold, rainy November day. Anyway... the coffee - I'm not even sure they used a real espresso machine to make my coffee because it came out so fast. The chili was awful... it was mostly slop with a few beans and zero meat. Way too salty too - good thing they provided some saltines to help balance it out. Blech. The guy behind the counter looked dead too. He looked high or something. read more

Terrible Service, Terrible Coffee I never appreciated the quality control and consistency of a Starbucks or Tom n Tom's til this experience First, they charge $3.50 for a Cafe Americano Nearly 2.5x the amount Starbucks charges a stones throw away After receiving a burnt tasting water Americano that no amount of sugar or cream could help save face, I filed a complaint with my friend to the barista. What ensued was a comedy of errors in trying to resolve a simple problem. The barista and owner (Interestingly a striking visage of a Harrison Ford bust) first ignored me and a couple of other inquiring customers on the side and continued to dally behind the counter. When I finally got a hold of him I said that my Americano tasted off and would like a replacement or anything but this monstrosity. What I got instead was a 5 min lecture on how I was wrong, and that I apparently needed my taste buds readjusted. I also received a show on how to pour. "LOOK IM PUTTING THE GROUNDS IN, NOW IM POURING THE WATER, SEE NOW ITS MAKING, SEE SEE SEE????" Looking back this scene would have the potential to almost have been comical if it wasn't actually so atrocious. His charming wife and fellow barista in chief chimed in, "I don't know what coffee is like from where YOUR from but this is what a real Americano is like." ........................um excuse me? Now you're talking down your clientele's knowledge of a product that you poorly serve? And slapping that on with a subtle Race card?? (As they offhandedly flung the cup at me and gave me a backhanded glare I vowed silently there would be blood shed on the arena of the internet.........) I didn't seem to be the only one befuddled with this faux coffee offering When a man got a cappuccino half-empty and mostly froth complained, the owners wife and apparent coffee connoisseur extraordinaire replied with a "thats what a real cappuccino is like" and then shooed him away. A hefty sum for mediocre gas station coffee coupled with god awful service push this business into a realm of 1 star ness I hope I will never approach again. It's sad tourist traps like this exist and hopefully the Desert Palm's outlet replaces this shoddy establishment Tl:dr - Pompous owner and wife, bigots, terrible mishandled product /rage read more

I'm not sure how come this place got such a horrible review. I only came here to get their coffee ... was thursty. T: So, what kind of coffee is good ? Boss: I don't make anything that's not good. If you want something that's crap, starbucks is close by. T: Hahaha ... (I drink starbucks a few times a week). Anywho, I got a white chocolate mocha. It was sweet, but not too sweet. Not bad, but expensive cup of coffee. I wouldn't go about saying they are much better than starbucks. About the same, pricing and taste. read more

If I could put -5 stars I would buy I cannot so 1 should do it. DO NOT GET ANYTHING FROM THIS PLACE. Coffee tasted like super washed down coffee. Gross! WORST COFFEE. To top it, a very rude old lady working inside. read more

Terrible customer service, terrible coffee and they charge for a cup of water. Water: I needed hot water to warm up a bottle of milk and it was $1.08. The guy behind the counter explained that it goes thru their filtration system, that's why they charge. How about you get tap water and nuke it for me instead? I was in a hurry to feed the little one, otherwise I would have told him to pound sand. We also ordered an iced coffee and a flavored hot coffee. Both coffees were taken from an already brewed container of coffee. There's a shiny, fancy coffee maker right next to it, how about you brew fresh coffee when people are paying more than $4 a drink? Both drinks tasted stale and watered down. If I wasn't short on time, I would have gone to Kona coffee or Starbucks in the other food court. Or even McDonald's at the other end of the mall. Never again. read more

I got the best smoothies here. My boyfriend got the mango pineapple and once I tasted it, I had to go back and get something of my own. I got the strawberry guava watermelon. It was definitely super tasty! read more

The worst customer service here. The old white hair latino lady was probably in a very bad mood for working on the day of Christmas Eve. She tried to charge us $4 for a cup of hot water. When I mention that we only need a small amount, she reduced the price to $1.50 and told us they charge for everything with a mean look and rude attitude. The Coffee we got tasted so bland. Do yourself a favor, walk to Starbucks instead. read more

Stay away you need wait until the first person will get his coffee or food then you will be able to order I order medium Carmel macchiato but as you see I got charge for large and after I paid I ask for my receipt and the old guy in front of my face never print one and lie to me saying I throw it away, really do I look like blind person or something like that??! So almost 7$ for coffee well walk for Starbucks better coffee and cheaper price I guess someone need to move something cuz it's look like they don't care about their business that's why they got so many bad review I should read before buying here read more

Terrible customer service and inconsistent when different people work. They try to up charge for everything watch out.

Ordered 2 bottled waters and a piece of toffee..1 piece of toffee and I paid $9.70. That's insane to me.
