Crema's Take
“Hidden in Palm Springs, this family-owned café transports you straight to Italy with its warm, welcoming atmosphere and espresso-focused menu that locals swear rivals the real thing. Beyond impeccable traditional and specialty drinks, you'll find exceptional housemade pastries, Italian-inspired desserts, and a barista team genuinely excited to customize your order—whether that's crafting a lavender matcha latte or pouring the perfect shot. It's the kind of intimate, authentic coffee experience that feels rare in the desert, where lingering over a rich coffee and gelato actually tastes like a trip abroad.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I love this little coffee shop! It reminds me of the coffee shops in Ascona Switzerland. Wonderful rich coffees, great bakery, and menu items, and top it off with Italian inspired desserts. Enjoy the Gardens with patio seating.
Wow, they were able to alter my matcha and make it lavender matcha latte with oat milk! The barist was so kind, he had dark shaggy hair and wish i knew his name to give a shoutout! It was delicious , the matcha was surprisingly good
