They have amazing drinks and Customer service. Love the owners energy! Would come again.
5 stars. Would recommend to a friend. No fluff, no filler, just great coffee and the personalities to make it worth your while.
The only independent game in town for espresso drinks - thank goodness it's a good one! A tiny shop, with a line out the door often as not in the mornings, and for good reason: the coffee is excellent, poured with care and served at the proper temperatures, with Monin flavors and delicious options. Service is neighborly and cheerful, brisk and efficient. The vibe is local, friendly, and chill. There is a cold case offering random things, some sodas and cakes, and grocery items that make little sense and don't look very tasty. Need half a pound of mejool dates with your latte? Me either. Plastic-wrapped mushy-looking cakes and $4 one-bite cake pops in wasteful plastic containers aren't tempting, either. So: the food program needs help. But they have the rest dialed in very well, and I recommend this place whole-heartedly if you're in the area!
This little gem was recommended by coworkers and I wasn't disappointed! To start off, customer service is excellent. Staff are cheerful and extremely helpful for those of us that are indecisive at times. I of particularly appreciated the variety of sugar free options and milks. So thank you so much for the diversity. I will definitely be back.
Friendly and cozy spot for your coffee caffeine needs in the Desert Hot Springs area. Their latte was perfectly sweetened. Americano was flavorful. A treat to have nearby if you're chilling around the spas in town. They have a cash discount too :)
The most welcoming coffee shop in DHS. The staff are always smiling and ready to take your order. Small establishment very modern has various snacks and treats to accompany your coffee. Beats sitting in Starbucks line that's for sure. TRY THIS ONE If you haven't your cheating yourself go on in and customize your drink and Espresso Self.
The service at Espresso Self was efficient and the employees were all so friendly and welcoming. The drink menu is impressive with so many options and combos. I got the iced matcha latte with oat milk. It was delicious and refreshing. What surprised me was how big the cups were. Their small size would be considered a medium anywhere else. So you get your money's worth here and more.
Loved it here! Staying at a hotel close by and needed REAL coffee. I noticed the side of the building said "coffee" when we drove into town, so I knew where to find them on the map before coming in. The barista is super friendly - just good vibes all around. My mom tried the dark chocolate salted mocha drink and loved it. I had an iced breve latte and enjoyed it as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're nearby. Quality coffee!
We stopped here before work. We both had a Cafe Americanos. We also ordered a Lavender Latte with Oat Milk. They have a lovely menu and strong coffee. The service and coffee is exceptional. Support your local businesses!
Super cute little coffee shop. I'm excited to have somewhere local to get my coffee now! It's always nice to support small, independent businesses. I got a medium, hot, vanilla latte with soy milk. It was yummy and the service was great.
