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.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
