Ernest Coffee

Soy Sugar-Free Vanilla Latte: 5/5 I’m not sure if I was just in a good mood or Palm Springs just wasn’t that hot this day, but the latte hit so good. I have very strong memories of drinking watery soy lattes and this one was creamy and not diluted at all. If we are all very honest, everyone sort of uses the same syrups and milks but I just really enjoyed it all and want to give a small coffee shop its flowers. Ambiance: Small neighborhood cafe, good vibes! Service: Employees were all very nice and answered all of our questions. They are all great baristas so are willing to help you craft your perfect drink! Parking: Street parking, but easy. I have not seen the area too busy.

While my experience of Ernest Coffee is limited to a single visit and drink, based off that alone I can give it a 5-star rating. The interior design is very cool, mixing together the vibes of a library and an old-school wooden building. The staff are down-to-earth and eager to help. I ordered a cortado with oat milk and it was delicious. Only took about 3-4 minutes to receive it as well. The shop had about 5-6 other customers inside, who were mostly working on laptops. It was a pleasant temperature, atmosphere, and the coffee was top-tier.

After our not so great matcha experience at Cartel Coffee we decided to try Ernest Coffee which several locals recommended. It turned out to be a great choice. I ordered a vanilla iced latte and my wife went with a vanilla matcha latte. Both drinks were exactly what we were hoping for. The matcha had a nice balance of milk and flavoring without any bitterness and my latte was smooth and just the right amount of sweet. Nothing over the top or wildly unique but both were well made and really satisfying. The shop itself is spacious and inviting with cool decor and plenty of seating for studying hanging out or even playing games. Service was a bit quiet and very quick with more of a straightforward next in line vibe but everyone got their drinks promptly and it did not affect the quality. Ove

After visiting the Tram Way in Palm Springs on a hot day, we were looking for a place with good drinks and comfortable seating to relax, and we found this little café. Ambiance: A small neighborhood café with a very pleasant and cozy atmosphere. Service: All the staff were friendly and happy to answer our questions, which made the experience more enjoyable. Drinks: The drinks were just okay; most of us couldn’t even finish them, even though we were quite thirsty. Hours: We were surprised that they close early. We had hoped to relax and enjoy the café for a bit, but after ordering our drinks, we had to leave because they close at 3 PM something we didn’t realize beforehand. Parking: Street parking is available and easy to find. The area wasn’t too crowded.

I stayed in Palm Springs for two nights and found this adorable coffee shop on Google and Yelp, which had excellent reviews. I decided to try it, and I’m so glad I did! What stood out for me was the fantastic customer service—both girls at the front were super attentive and kind. One took my order while the other made my coffee and their friendly energy added to the great experience. I ordered the vanilla lavender iced coffee, and it was a 10/10—delicious! Parking was easy to find on a side street, and the shop was just a short drive from my hotel. I took my coffee back to the pool and enjoyed every sip. Next time I’m in Palm Springs, I’ll stop by again to try the pistachio rose latte and maybe one of their pastries.
