Ristretto - Palm Springs

I recently spent a week in Palm Springs and found Ristretto in a few days. It is on the Palm Canyon Drive, but from the hectic and the drive of the bustling downtown. I loved it and wish I had found it earlier. Anyone who works there (that I was able to meet) is full of light and joyfulness to engage. I loved the coffee, and if you have a drip in a cup for here, you can sit outside and watch people or read with endless refills, for better or worse. If you have the opportunity, Ristretto is an excellent way to start an early morning.

Very good espresso done correctly. Their house roast is slightly on the dark side. Nicely prepared food. Love the gals working here!

Coffee was fine but I think I prefer other local shops in the valley. The muffins looked amazing though!! They have a fair bit of indoor seating and a few tables outside in the parking lot.

This was the best coffee we found in Palm Springs, and it's It's only slightly off the beaten path, so it wasn't as crowded as all the others, and it had the coolest atmosphere and great service and even some good food and pastries. Highly recommend!

The morning muffins here are incredible—warm and freshly made on-site every day! We tried the orange muffin, and it was fantastic. The coffee is quite good as well. It's a wonderful spot to enjoy a big cup of coffee.
