    Chicken empanada
    Sylvia C.

    Very cool little coffee shop! Super friendly employees, assortment of pastries/breakfast items, and very good, strong coffee! I ordered the brown sugar latte, and it was great...strong, and not overly sweet. We were curious about their empanadas, so we ordered one beef (for my husband) and one chicken for me. I did not try the beef empanada, but the chicken one was tasty. At first I was thrown a bit because the dough definitely had a sweetness to it which I was not expecting. I think I am just used to Mexican empanadas which typically are not made with a sweet dough. The filling was similar to a pot pie filling -chicken and peas, only not creamy. I actually liked it more than I expected. Overall, glad we stopped in!

    came in at the right time. they were about to close in a couple of minutes, and me and the sister were looking for some drip while visiting from SD. First off that BQL (banana Que Latte) was spot on *AMAZING*. The langka (jackfruit) and banana were all in there. Like you totally can taste it. It was balanced so well. Tho, I think it should be turon Latte (spring roll wrapped banana with jackfruit inside) not Banana que. But totally love this drink!! this alone make me want to go back again. its a small boutique but clean, and nice wall photos too.the moment we walked in the coffee aroma welcomed us. I love it!! Other than the BQL we ordered BSL (brown sugar) they do have milk alternative such as pistachio, oat, almond, etc. We didn't get to see other options for pastries since most were all gone by the time we got there. Overall, I would def recommend this place for anyone visiting PSP, Cath City, Palm Dessert, Indio or Coachella. Five starts would totally recommend and will becoming back in the near future. Thank you for bringing such good drinks to the Valley!

    Very popular Filipino fusion cafe. Vibes inside are great, feels like a small business and the person taking our order said their coffee beans come straight from the Philippines. My partner and I thought the drinks were okay. He got a panda latte and I got pistachio. Both were more on the milky side in my opinion, the syrup flavors were there but on the mild side. Note on the menu the varraco latte is a plain latte and the Pinoy varraco is an americano. I would want to go back and try just their drip/cold brew to judge the coffee better. The stand out thing about this coffee shop is the pastries. We tried the pork adobo padesal, sisig burrito, and beef empanada. All were very good but my favorite being the pandesal. Service was very friendly and they do have a rewards system via phone number that includes a birthday reward. Parking in a shopping complex so no issues there. There is no restroom available for customers. Inside seating is limited, maybe about 10 stools as pictured with low tables and one outlet near the couch in the back. Much more abundant outdoor seating. Would not come here to study based on seating but will be back to try more

    While I loved the aesthetic of this Filipino-inspired cafe, my friend and I thought our drinks were mid. I ordered the Pandan latte and while it was pretty green in color, I could barely taste the Pandan. Not sure if that was more food coloring than flavoring. The drink was also pretty milky. For $9 with oat milk this was not worth it, but it wasn't terrible. My friend ordered the ube matcha and she felt similarly. She couldn't really taste the ube flavor. This spot offers a lot of unique Filipino menu items, but the execution is a bit disappointing.

    Got the pandan latte and the strawberry rose latte - amazing! Their breakfast burrito was so good - very unique flavor tying it back to Filipino flavors. My boyfriend ended up getting a second one because it was too good! The bagel was great as well! Great find in the high desert!

    Pandan and Banana Q latte
    Itzy G.

    Quaint little coffee shop (philipino flavors) with so much to offer, definitely one of my favorites in the desert! Love Theres parking in the front (limited) but a lot more in the back. They have coffee, matchas, and delicious pastries. Customer service is always great, and very willing to answer any question! Tried their iced Pandan latte (comes with coconut milk) and I added cold foam. Very different but delicious taste! Definitely try if your feeling adventurous. Husband got the BananaQ latte with pistachio milk and extra shot, also delicious. A must try if you are in the area!

    Ube matcha
    Cathy B.

    Made time to visit this place after all the Coachella partying! Ofcourse found this place on Yelp looking for matcha in the area. It was fairly busy when we got there on a Monday morning but the staff was efficient. They greeted us as soon as we walked in. They're also roasting beans! We got the ube matcha, brown sugar latte, adobo pandesal and sisig burrito. W tip everything came up to around $40. The ube matcha was delicious - matcha was strong and you could taste the ube. The brown sugar latte was amazing - the beans truly shine. The adobo pandesal is soft and full of flavor. The sisig burrito was also delicious - I wish there's rice in it but the crispy pieces made up for it. I recommend this place if you're in the area. Will add this as a new stop whenever we're in the desert.

    Sisig burrito, beef and chicken empanada
    Karina M.

    First time trying this coffee shop and everything was amazing! We got the pandan and banana latte. We also had the Sisig burrito, which is a Filipino breakfast burrito, and the empanadas. All of it was amazing. The service was great and the ambiance is very chill.

    Pastries!

    Variety of pastries and the drink was nice and sweet! There were quite a bit of people but my drink came out quickly. Minimal seating area and dog friendly.

    Strawberry Matcha
    Emmanuel A.

    Varraco Coffee was one of my favorite escapes in Palm Desert, especially when I'm looking for a calm, minimalist space to relax. Their Strawberry Matcha is really good without being overly sweet and the Banana Q Latte is such a hidden gem. Shoutout to the barista that put me on! What really brings me back, though, is how genuinely kind the baristas are; their warm service makes the whole experience feel personal and welcoming every time I walk through the door.

    I come here often for the amazing Filipino coffee and Filipino baked goods! One of the best places to come by if you're looking for a unique coffee shop. Note to owner: The staff does not mention that even though the food is not on the display, that there is still some available in the back. I almost left without getting food because I thought it was sold out. Isha took my order and forgot to bring out 3 hot items. I had to ask multiple times to get my food and to have it warmed up...while she was using her phone.

    Bean Roasting
    Sierra L.

    The coffee here is so delicious! We had the Banana Q latte and the brown sugar latte and both were delicious. There is pretty limited seating in the actual shop and the chairs don't make it a conducive space to stay for too long. They had so many delicious looking pastries. We got the almond croissant which was tasty- I like mine with a bit more filling but the croissant base was nice and buttery! They roast the beans right in front of you which is so unique and fun! A great place to stop for a quick drink if you want great coffee and fun syrup flavors.

    Grabbed some coffee on our way to the zoo today, chose the right place!! Husband had the Pinoy latte which was basically an americano and I have the Varraco latte. Both great choices. Loved how the latte was strong but not sweet! We had to try some pastries so beef empanada, adobo pandesal and almond croissant. We opted to have our croissant warmed up. Beef empanada I wouldn't order again, but the adobo pandesal was delicious. It was a bun filled with pork, so tasty, the croissant was flaky and great too. Would love to try other products. Anyways, it was busy but service was quick!

After being seated, we waited quite a while before someone finally came over to take our food and drink order. After placing our order, we sat there for well over 30 minutes waiting. Our drinks, which were just an orange juice and a coffee, never arrived, and no one ever came back to check on us or give us an update. We were simply left sitting there with nothing. At that point, we decided to get up, cancel our order, and leave. I completely understand that restaurants can get busy, but there was little communication and we felt completely forgotten. It is really unfortunate because this used to be one of my favorite brunch spots. I hope this was just an off day, but today's service was unacceptable and incredibly disappointing. I truly hope they can turn things around because I would love to enjoy this place again. However, until then I don't think I will be coming back.

    We stopped by here for a night to split up a road trip…read more We had been wanting to come since we wanted to see their golf course for another time and it was a really nice location. Golf course was closed but we were still able to see it. It's a big property. Lots to do. Do like they allow dogs since we had ours. They had multiple pools which we liked. We didn't use it but near one. Neither one looked too busy which was nice. Once we got settled into our room we went to go see Pinz and Pints since they had arcade games, including a duckpin bowling. My son was really excited about that. When we went they had a complimentary drink and candy bar. Drinks they offer are limited but still decent. We did get some food there as well. We got their nachos, Mac and cheese, and chicken tenders for my son. Both the nachos and Mac and cheese were really good. Love nachos and wanted to keep eating them. The next morning we went for breakfast at Pinzimini. They have a buffet option and also have a standard breakfast menu to choose items from. My husband got their brioche French toast and I selected to do their buffet. I know he liked the French toast. I liked the items offered in their buffet. They had a mix of mini pastries, cooked items, fruit. I primarily stuck with their pastries and fruit. Overall it was a nice location. Golf course is big. Hopefully we can go again and experience more of the items they offer.

The resort fee also felt hard to justify. The included amenities did not seem to match the extra charge. The two complimentary drinks were limited to Truly canned drinks or a small pour of hard lemonade or iced tea, which felt underwhelming for a resort of this caliber. We did enjoy the range balls, but as early risers, I would have appreciated access to the spa or pool earlier in the morning. Unfortunately, the room itself left a lot to be desired. The bed sheets had what looked like an oil or grease stain, the closet door was broken, and the overall furnishings and finishes felt worn and dated rather than well maintained. This is very much a family resort, so that is worth keeping in mind if you are looking for a quiet getaway. Even at the adults-only Paloma Pool, children were jumping into the water and splashing guests' drinks while parents appeared unconcerned. That made it difficult to relax in what was supposed to be a peaceful setting. On a positive note, the entrance walkway, lobby, and open-air courtyard are beautiful and make for a strong first impression. Unfortunately, that charm does not extend to the guest rooms, which are clearly in need of a refresh.

Service animals need to work from the floor in restaurants. Just because people need attention doesn't mean they get to put their dogs paws on a dining table or be cradled in their owners desperate arms above a surface where their dander can fall on the table or on the tables next to them. They should also not be sitting in chairs where diners sit. I don't wanna leave a restaurant with dog hair all over my clothing. I personally love dogs, but would never allow my dog to put its paws on a table or hold my dog above the dining table in a restaurant where other people, possibly people with allergies dine. I personally think it's ridiculous that people need to bring their dogs to restaurants but at the very least the restaurant has a responsibility to the other patrons to keep the animals below the food preparation and consumption areas. I really hope that you guys will address this.
