Crema's Take
“This is a resort café inside the Renaissance Esmeralda, so expect resort pricing ($7 drip coffee, $20 breakfast sandwiches) with inconsistent execution—some reviewers found the coffee strong and staff friendly, while others called the breakfast sandwich among the worst they've had despite the steep price tag. The rating of 3.6 is based on only 10 reviews, so there's too little data to be confident, but the consistent complaint about eye-watering prices for middling food suggests you're really paying for location convenience rather than quality. If you're staying at the resort and don't want to leave, it's passable; otherwise, there are better options nearby.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. Good for meetings spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →Expensive as SF, but it’s a resort so what do you expect? Coffee was good and strong 💪 Staff was professional and friendly.
I basically eat hotel and airport breakfast sandwiches for a living, and this is the worst one I've ever had. $20 with a small coffee
Eye-watering prices: $7 for a drip coffee, $5 for a KIND bar. However, the staff were excellent, and you’re paying for the convenience of not having to leave the resort.
Ordered ham and bacon breakfast sandwich And a chai latte. They were good and enjoyed my breakfast.
It has been a minute since I've been to the Renaissance Esmeralda here in Indian Wells. I'm not a big fan of the colossal golf/spa/resort complex of which this is a good example, but Goldenvoice puts people here for Coachella and Stage Coach so I've stayed here a couple times. …
