"One of the first stops off the main 111 Highway into Palm Springs is Cartel Roasting Co. Pull over to the right side of the street at the Arrive hotel (or on your way out) to sip a latte from this Arizona-based chain. Cartel roasts some of the best beans in the Coachella Valley and takes great care when preparing cold brew lemonade, espresso tonics, and strong cappuccinos. Street parking is always plentiful, so one can stay for a while or grab something caffeinated for the road." - Mona Holmes
