Stopped in for the first time and will definitely be back the next time we're in town. The vanilla latte was excellent--smooth, flavorful, and expertly made. We couldn't resist trying a couple of desserts, and both were fantastic. The lemon meringue tart struck the perfect balance of sweet and tart, while the espresso mousse was rich, creamy, and packed with coffee flavor. The café has a welcoming atmosphere, and everything we tried was top-notch. Looking forward to our next visit. I should mention that it is also a wine bar Pictures not posting will update when they upload read more

Just stopped in this cafe at the suggestion of a store clerk in this shopping center and I'm so glad I took her advice. Calm, cute, clean breakfast/lunch/coffee/wine spot. The Mama Mia panini is excellent-- I was surprised at the caliber of the panini (flavorful and very fresh!), it tastes like I'm at a fancy sitdown restaurant! Service was great too. Cute dishes too! read more

We stopped here for a light lunch and coffee while shopping last weekend. This cafe is so cute! It's a combination of a cafe and a wine bar, very similar to a true Italian cafe. The decor was very cute, modern but with a classic European vibe. The service was great, they were very friendly, our food and drinks came out quickly, and they brought us waters without us having to ask. I had a matcha latte which was good, a pretty standard matcha, not too sweet. My cousin had a coconut matcha though and it was delicious! I had the Tartufo panini which was delicious! The truffle sauce as so yummy and it had a very hearty helping of prosciutto. These paninis are big! I couldn't finish mine and it definitely could be shared! Finally, I was so excited to see that they had a pistachio cross ain't, so I got one to go. The pistachio cream on top was delicious! The one bummer for me is that the cream inside the croissant was Nutella, while the cream on top was pistachio, which I wasn't expecting since it was a pistachio croissant. Also the croissant was a bit dry and to fill it they simply cut it in half and spread the filling, rather than injecting the filling, which contributed to the dryness. Overall a great spot! read more

Simply the best coffe in town. For a while it was Koffi or IW, but Sottovoce beats them all.

Coffee was bitter, services was terrible girl took two phone calls while she was helping us and ignored us and wouldn't tell us what pastries they might've had that were unbagging and the croissant was OK. Gave them a shot instead of the big chain down the street but won't be back. read more

This darling cafe sits on the mezzanine level of the Gardens at El Paseo and offers delicious coffee creations and some of the loveliest pastry options. The friendly staff whips up lattes fast - but no rush if you want to sip and enjoy the Italian cafe-themed decor. read more

Sottovoce Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palm Desert, California

I love this little desert bar located in one of my favorite shopping districts. I am for sure a sweet a holic and this little place always satisfies my apetite. The coffees are out of this world..and the cake of the day is one of the best tasting i have ever had. Reminds me of the fabulous cake i used to get in Oakland. My doctor says im almost diabetic, but im not telling him that i will cheat on my diet once in awhile just so i can indulge in pure heaven with a slice of cake and a coffee concoction at my favorite desertery. read more

We stopped by one morning originally just for coffee, but were pleasantly surprised to find that they also serve breakfast. Unfortunately, they weren't able to make the avocado toast because their food delivery hadn't arrived yet. The cashier seemed a bit short with her responses, which took away from the otherwise charming and cozy atmosphere of the place. read more

Good coffee, fresh pastry. Friendly staff. Plenty of parking. What else is there? I'm just vamping to hit the posting minimum number of characters. read more

I don't even know where to start. I will only get coffee from here now, it's sooooo good! I love the vibe, love the people who frequent the cafe, and love the staff. Natalie the owner is such a doll, always helpful, happy, and full of life. Kaley is my favorite barista! She makes one amazing cup of coffee and she's so sweet. I can't say enough good things about Sottovoce! You won't be disappointed. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to go on a coffee matcha hunt and we went in to try this place on our second coffee hunt. First was Verraco which 10/10 but this place, right off the bat, no one greeted us, the energy was so dead and dry. No "good morning" it was "you guys ready" after standing by the register for a minute. super monotone - it just wasn't what one would expect on a sunday morning from a coffee place. We got two specialty coffee's and they were okay. Not something we would order again. The shop itself is cute. We decided to come by off of the photos on yelp. I would've grabbed a bottle of wine if the service was better. read more

I love going here in the morning for my coffee sometimes. Excellent coffee, nice bakery products, super clean. Love the owner from Milan , Italy. Plus very dog friendly. read more

Friendly staff, laidback ambiance, good drinks and pastries. I had the Iced Gingerbread Chai latte. I was very happy with it. Tasted like chai and wasn't overly sweet. My guest had the Cherry Mocha Latte. She let me taste it and loved it. I could taste the cherry flavor as well as the coffee and it too wasn't overly sweet. The pasties were equally as good, perfect sweetness and unique. The vanilla raspberry snowflake was my favorite because I enjoyed the crunchy texture. But coconut is tasty too. We will be back! Next time I'm having mimosas and a panini read more

I liked the coffee but probably will not go back. The staff was lackluster and kept whispering and then cackling loudly. I couldn't stand their immaturity so I left. They really ruined the cute vibe inside. I was the only one in the cafe and their immaturity was annoying and made it uncomfortable. read more

Loved it, so, so delicious, the best Americano, best service, clean, and different! Definitely stop by! A lovely owner

Attentive service with good sandwiches, coffees and wine. Great location for shopping nearby.

Sotto Voce is a fantastic place to sit back and relax, while enjoying a cappuccino and biscotti, or even on of their tasty wines. Maro runs the place, with a lot of Sicilian love, friendliness and family touches. We came here after shopping nearby to cool off. It was the first really hot day in the Coachella Valley. And even though it was a dry heat (or is it wry) outside, we stopped for a needed rest. Maro and his Sotto Voce didn't disappoint. We only wish that such a well stocked wine bar was near us in the IE. We had a iced mocha cappuccino and an apple tort, which hit the stop. read more

I like the coffee and matcha, but the young barista wasn't friendly at all... just not nice.

What a cute little, family owned, bistro tucked amongst the big, glitzy chain stores. Their upscale atmosphere and professional approach fits this mall well. You can see from my pic the view from our little table in the early evening. Their menu is simple and their service was prompt and attentive. We started with the Vegetarian Salad. There was plenty of flavors with the roasted veggies and mild seasoning. When they brought out the Vegetarian Salad, they noticed that the avocado was missing. So to be fair, they served the avocado with the side bread instead of butter, see pic. BTW, I liked this option much better than butter. We then shared their Virtue Panini. Again, it had the wonderful veggies. The grilled toast added the great crunch to the bite. It was a delightful sandwich. read more

Hidden Gem alert!! We were walking to happy hour at Boozehounds in the heat of the afternoon and needed a pit stop for a cold drink when this place appeared like a mirage in the desert! It's a bit off the main part of Palm Canyon Dr. We've been to Italy a couple times and immediately loved the ambiance, reminded us of enotecas and bars you find all over Florence and Rome. Super cute decor, a wall of carefully curated Italian retail goods like biscotti, pasta and sauces and ofc wine! Greeted very quickly by Karin who is the sweetest. They were out of the wine I ordered and the gentleman behind the bar (sorry your name escapes me!) kindly poured a couple of tastes of his faves so I could choose another. I ordered our wine and beer at the counter and stood to wait and Karin insisted we sit and she would bring it to us! We loved it so much that we returned for their special Friday wine tasting after Boozehounds! We were greeted like old friends and ended up chatting and tasting wines for over an hour. Really special place with warm hospitality and the coolest staff. And we didn't even try their coffeeeeeE LOL! read more

Music, wine, dessert, coffee! What more can you ask for? Well there's more... Calming cafe sitting on the first level of El Paseo shopping mall. You don't feel like you're there anymore once you're greeted by the smells and staff. I absolutely LOVED the pistachio Cornetto. It's fluffy, flaky, sweet, creamy goodness all packed into this gorgeous pastry!! My family was waiting for a table at a brunch restaurant and stumbled upon this gem. Well guess what?! We walked in for a coffee and ended up enjoying some laughs while sharing this pastry that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. I look forward to coming back here for a cute wine and snack date with my guy. Bookmark this gem for your next trip to the desert. If you already live in the valley, make this your next coffee/wine date read more

I love Sottovoce! It is located in the heart of the gardens on el paseo creating an amazingly relaxed and chic vibe compared to other places you can choose to grab a coffee in Palm Desert. Highly recommend as a cute place to meet up with a friend. My favorite drinks are the lavender matcha and lavender latte.

I'm a coffee snob and this is the best coffee in Palm Desert hands down. You won't find better.

A cute little coffee, pastry, wine shop on the main shopping drag/mall. Too bad I wasn't hungry because the pastries looked incredible and lots of people were buying them. The Sicilian owner was there and I believe his daughter helped us. Our lattes were tasty. read more
