Espresso Self
66169 Pierson Blvd, Palm Springs, CA
Crema's Take
“Espresso Self is a tiny Palm Springs gem where intentional craft meets genuine warmth—the kind of place where baristas remember you and creative seasonal drinks (like their beloved peanut butter mocha) are made with real care. Beyond the smooth, bold espresso at the heart of the menu, it's the heart behind the counter that keeps locals returning daily: a welcoming vibe, helpful staff, and quality pastries that prove this hidden spot delivers better, faster, and cheaper than the big names.”

Staff was extremely friendly, lots of coffee selections to choose from, seemed they had a regular menu plus a seasonal menu. They also had some baked goods to choose from as well as some other snacks. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area or passing through, you won’t be disappointed!
From the moment you walk up, you can feel the intention behind this place. The coffee is amazing, smooth, bold, and made with real care… but what truly sets Expresso Self apart is the heart behind it. Stephanie, the owner, is a rare kind of human. Warm, genuine, and effortlessly kind, she’s created more than a coffee shop… she’s built a little oasis of good energy. You don’t just get coffee here, you get welcomed. Seen. Uplifted. Every cup feels crafted with pride, every interaction feels real, and the vibe is exactly what Palm Springs should be: bright, soulful, and full of love. This is the kind of place that turns first-time visitors into regulars and regulars into family. If you’re anywhere near Palm Springs and don’t stop at Expresso Self, you’re genuinely missing out. Supporting this business feels good… because it is good. Thank you, Stephanie, for pouring so much heart into what you do. It shows in every way. ☕️✨
This is a tiny hidden gem! My mom and I were attracted to the unique name! The service was outstanding and very helpful! The quality and taste of our beverages were better than your big name coffee shop!!! The atmosphere is welcoming and clean! Overall the entire experience at Espresso Self was extremely enjoyable! This is definitely a MUST when we come back again!!!
Saw the review that this is cheaper, better, and faster and we totally agree! Nice ambience and staff. I ordered their peanut butter moch and I loved it! My husband and I also tried their energy balls and it tastes like when reese’s and cookie dough had a baby. Love the variety of snacks and pastries. They even have a honeycomb!
Such great vibes, the sweetest of people, and delicious coffee/pastries. Ended up stopping by every day of our trip and each time it was great, can’t wait to be back! Also, they have muffins from La Abuelita bakery and wow was the blueberry one phenomenal
