Café La Jefa

Everything about Café La Jefa did not disappoint as someone who loves matcha they are the best matcha I have ever had. They are also so aesthetically pleasing and the staff is so nice ! I had to the vanilla matcha with vanilla colf foam and I came back and had the cardamom matcha with lavender cold foam (the staff recommended it) both matcha were very good. I also decided to try the chai latte since its my last day in town and it was so good. The best matcha and chai I have ever taste very high grade quality. Whenever im back in town I will back back to try their other options they definitely didn't disappoint! I got a small for the chai and large for the matcha.

I’ve been here a handful of times now. I’ve had the breakfast burrito and chilaquiles and a few different lattes. Everything has been great. From the Presentation to quality of ingredients. I love this place. There’s plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Staff in the mornings have been really nice and work in a timely manner.

Café La Jefa became our daily coffee stop — we went every single day. The coffee is great, the waffle is amazing, and the scrambled egg and avocado sandwich on a bun was absolutely delicious. The view of the mountains is just stunning and makes the whole experience even better. It’s such a cool place with great vibes, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Another fun bonus is the little shops around the café — including an adorable dachshund-themed shop with T-shirts and more. Perfect spot for great coffee, good food, beautiful views, and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!

While visiting Palm Springs, my wife suggested we try La Jefa Café after seeing it pop up on social media. With all the buzz, we figured it was worth checking out. When we arrived, the café was pretty busy and we ended up waiting about 20 minutes in line just to place our order. We ordered a cardamom matcha latte and a butterscotch matcha latte. One small but notable pet peeve for me: even after clearly spelling out my name, it was still written incorrectly on the cup—not a dealbreaker, but a bit frustrating. As for the drinks, they were okay, but nothing memorable. The matcha didn’t stand out compared to other cafés we’ve tried and felt more average than expected given the hype. The presentation was nice, but flavor-wise, it didn’t quite deliver. The café itself has a cute aesthetic, fancy cups, and a small but pleasant seating area—definitely Instagram-friendly. Prices were on the higher side, but that’s fairly expected for Palm Springs, so no surprises there. Overall: Not a bad experience, but also not one I’d go out of my way to repeat. Worth trying once if you’re nearby and curious, but don’t expect anything mind-blowing. 📍 Pro tip: Come for the vibe, not necessarily the matcha.

I found this place near my Airbnb, cute place with good options to eat healthy options as well, the staff people working behind the counter are amazing. Iced mocha very delicious, the chilaquiles very yummy… I also l ordered the BLTA it has avocado it was good. I really enjoyed this lunch and I brought my little Bellini, she loved the bacon…..❤️🥓🥑🍳☕️
