Cartel Roasting Co
1551 N Palm Canyon Dr, Palm Springs, CA
Crema's Take
“This Palm Springs roastery is a genuine coffee lover's refuge where the knowledgeable baristas take pride in their craft, excelling at both espresso drinks and pour overs that draw devoted regulars back for cortados and perfectly executed light roasts. The intimate space cultivates a welcoming vibe perfect for lingering conversations or focused work, offering that rare combination of serious coffee expertise without the corporate chain energy. Fair warning: their popularity means lines can get long, but reviews consistently suggest the quality and care in every cup makes the wait worthwhile.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Wifi.
