COFFEEISM CO. — Restaurant in Palm Springs

Umm… can we take a moment and thank the creators of Coffeeism for opening their doors and sharing their vision of a coffee shop with us? 🤗 I wouldn't call myself a coffee connoisseur BUT I do know a great coffee when I taste one.

We visited Coffeeism this weekend, our experience was exactly what I imagined it to be.

Sure the line was a wee bit long but service was speedy. In fact it was perfect because as I stood in line I was able to take in all the pastry options, energy, read the menu, and just take it all in.

The “If a Croissant and a Donut had a Baby” caught my eye and taste buds - so naturally ordered that..10/10! I ordered a Banana Iced Latte w/ oat milk (light foam was my own added something.. honestly I’m obsessed with bananas so if bananas are on the menu - I’m trying it!! It was sooooooo yummy… 🤤 we also ordered a classic hot latte with oat milk and sweetener.. perfect! We enjoyed our coffee and pastry by the window, looking out onto Taquitz. Such a nice way to start our Sunday morning.

10/10 for me! So happy Palm Springs has a new coffee shop..much needed. Hope you enjoy it as much as me....

Update: Note about my photos the photos have been edited to remove the people who did not consent to their photo being taken. Which is everyone in the place so eventhough Coffeeism finds it hard to believe I hope normal everyday costumers can look at their reply and judge for yourself if you want to support this business. Especially since there is about 10 other coffee spots around this area with hopefully better costumer service.

It was an okay coffee spot, but the staff made us feel like we were a bother. They had a rushed, "hurry up" attitude, which is not great for a new place trying to build regulars. The prices were also pretty high, with pastries around $14 and seasonal specialty coffees at $12, which feels excessive since it is mostly flavored syrup in regular coffee. Besides that, the vibe was nice and the place itself is inviting. A friendlier attitude and more reasonable prices would really make it...

The pastries are charming enough: crispy pain au chocolat and ham and gruyere tarts that flake into buttery confetti. Then the coffee arrives, and the spell breaks. The mocha leans so hard into sugar it might as well be chocolate milk, pleasant in a childhood way, empty in an adult one. The drink billed as “Vietnamese Coffee” looks and tastes like lobby pot brew with ice, no gloss of condensed milk, no bitter-sweet thunder. Anyone who has taken a stool in Saigon and wrapped their hands around a sweating glass of cà phê sữa đá knows that particular intensity, the cacao-deep bite of robusta, the condensed milk pooling like satin at the bottom. This is not that. I do not know what is happening behind the counter; I can only tell you what is in the cup: a thin, timid iced coffee that borrows the name without the soul. The kitchen is worth your appetite, the coffee,...
