Crema's Take
“Tucked into a quiet Palm Springs neighborhood, Ernest Coffee strikes that rare balance between serious espresso craftsmanship and genuinely inviting vibes, with a cool, library-like interior that makes lingering over a perfectly pulled shot feel like the whole point. Locals keep coming back for their thoughtfully executed specialty drinks—like silky soy lattes that justify their stellar reviews—and the kind of comfortable seating that turns a coffee run into an actual refuge from the desert heat.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Ernst is my favorite coffee shop in the desert! I love the chai white mocha with cold foam. The area is so spacious with lots of seating, perfect for chatting with friends or studying for school! Highly recommend this place

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…
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…
