The Best Restaurants in Palm Springs

"Tara Uziel’s personal style is pure 1970s. So it’s natural that her Cathedral City cafe reflects that same vibe with suede-like magenta chairs, a bit of neon signage, and a circular rainbow mural with red lips at its center. The coffee drinks are strong and friendly baristas carefully prepare matcha. Light bites like cookies, cinnamon rolls, and Madelines are available. Pet lovers will find a bonus at Hot Lips as a dog-friendly cafe." - Mona Holmes, Eater Staff

It's probably a 10 ⭐ for atmosphere. Wow! Energy and eye candy in furniture and art! Loved the vintage clothing for sale. Had the best greeting ever! Just so energetic and music was bumping!! Service was 🙌🏽 wonderful. Barista insisted we let her know if we needed more sweet or less. It's a science to get my coffee the way I like it so thanks for showing your concern for our satisfaction. See you next year when we come back.

I love this place. Very friendly owner (it’s Goldie Hawn!) not really but similar look. Anyway, fun interior seating with small amount of stuff for sale. Not much food but what is there is delicious. Highly recommend especially if you have time to lounge about.

Wait, I'm obsessed with this place and the owner, Tara. The cold brew packs a punch, just how I like it. The decor is fun and you can tell it matches the owner's vibe. Parking, tables, lounges, and cute glasses. I'll be making a point to come here in the future.

Love this place!! The staff is so kind and helpful. Great music and great vibes. The coffee is delicious. I got the valley girl iced. It was sweet but not too sweet and strong!

Beautiful space and energizing atmosphere. Tara is the kindest. Love the quick shipping experience too! Reloaded my Tea with Iris gear and some cool vintage finds. 😎❤️🌞

Like all the other reviews have mentioned, wonderful coffee, service, ambience and service. My first time visiting after seeing so many great reviews and Tara was super helpful! I told her it was my first time and she made suggestions for me for a flavored iced latte. Ended up choosing white mocha and boysenberry and it was INCREDIBLE! I’ll be back the next time i’m in town.

This is a very cute and unique coffee shop! I have not seen an interior design like theirs anywhere else. They also have a good selection of coffees and different flavors and syrups. Their coffee is great and I highly recommend the vanilla mocha salted caramel; it’s unique and has a great taste. If you like a unique cup of coffee, check this place out and give them a shot!

Love this cute new coffee spot! Great friendly service. It’s been open for 7 months. I got an iced caramel latte and it was really good. The perfect amount of sweetness and ice. The decor is very unique and different from other modern coffee shops which I love. Definitely can’t wait to go back. Super happy to have more local coffee shops open around the valley. Go check this place out!

You know when a store just ooooozes personality?! Well this one does so much, and in such an awesome fun way. This place has great coffee from Equator and the barista, presumably the owner is so sweet and gorgeous! So happy to have this in my neighborhood

Cute lil colorful place in Cathedral City, we were greeted by the owner..very nice, polite & attentive; the hubby got a iced golden milk latte & your truly got an iced black coconut tea it was so tasty & refreshing! We sat for awhile, don't let it fool you from the outside, it's pretty spacious & they had some 80's music playing

We were greeted right away by a very friendly and cheerful employee. The food was so fresh and tasty. My friend said the croissant was better than the one she had in Paris, and that one was delicious! My coffee was fantastic! I could taste the espresso and the salted caramel, and the ice cubes were nice and clear! I definitely recommend visiting this fun, great tasting coffee shop!

Cute little coffee shop with very eclectic decor. I will say I am sad that my cup did not have the logo on it because it is so cute. The coffee tasted amazing, I requested a caramel latte, but they only had salted caramel which I appreciated him telling me because I switched to vanilla. Super fast service and the staff was very nice. The area is not the nicest.

As a former Yelp Elite member with over 5.5 million followers and an active member of the Yelp Community since 2009... I can wholeheartedly say that I love love LOVE this coffee shop for everything it does The VIBE is FIRE The Owner is FIRE The DECOR is FIRE And the service is FIRE While this is not at all even closely related to the Fire Festival .... We could all have a party with all of our friends here and it would be EPIC. When I walk in every morning Tara greats me with a massive bubbly smile and that makes my WHOLE day. Thank You. Thanks for being you

I'd give Hot Lips 10 stars if I could! Tara, the owner, is so sweet, fun and dedicated. There's lots of comfy seating that allows the customer the relax and enjoy their beverage and treats. The vibe created by the decor and music is energetic and cozy at the same time. Feels like you're hanging out at a friend's. They serve Equator Coffees which is one of the best brands I've tasted. She'll customize your drink to make it perfect for you. When you're in the mood for something different, try the matcha latte. She uses a traditional matcha bowl to whisk the powder to perfection. The pastries and baked goods are delicious. She carries a variety of sweet danishes and savory items like spinach quiche and ratatouille. Bonus: You can shop vintage clothing and accessories while sipping your favorite drink. It's a plus that you can support a local and woman-owned business, too.

If I could give this place 100 stars I would. It's SUCH A GREAT VIBE from the second you walk in. Mac helped us today - he was amazing. It wasn't just how he treated us that impressed me - it was how I observed him treating everyone else. And get this - I am a lifelong Rocky fan - and the espresso they serve here is called "Eye of the Tiger Espresso". The beverage and the croissant were DELICIOUS. Thanks for a great experience!

This is exactly what I would expect a coffee shop to look like in Palm Springs! Not only does it have a coffee bar, but it also has a section of vintage clothing and accessories, as a well as, handmade wares by local artisans. I loved the retro stripes on the walls, and the puffy pink chairs. We ordered a chai latte and lavender latte. Chef's kiss! The siren can't hold a candle to the quality of the drinks at Hot lips! The owner was super sweet and she was wearing the coolest vintage dress! We didn't have time to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere because we were headed out of town. We will definitely be back because this is now one of our favorite spots for coffee.

Food: I did not try the food but their danish options looked delicious! I am watching what I eat so sweets are off my menu. Service: FANTASTIC!! I love talking with small businesses about their products and how they became successful. This owner is very kind and passionate about what she does. Ambiance: the vibes are so positive I believe the plants outside were dancing!!

Awesome new coffee shop. The owner is there behind the counter making the drinks and every thing we've had is amazing. The vibe is very mid century modern, and doubles as a vintage store as well. The iced Matcha Latte is top notch and my wife's salted Carmel cold brew was amazing.

Stopped by for coffee on our way out for the day and I'm so glad we did! Amazing customer service--so friendly and helpful. Ordered iced coffees to go, and they were great. The cafe has a cute vibe, and seems like a great place to hang out and/or get some work done. They also have high quality merch available. Overall 5 all around and highly recommend

First time at Hot Lips today... this one's easy. The vibe is great! Fun pops of color, attitude, and local flair. But it's a coffee shop after all, so how's the coffee? PERFECT. It was a pleasure to meet the owner, too... she even timed her puck taps to the beat of the music! It's the little touches that make it what it is.

Such a unique and trendy coffee shop! The owner was so incredibly kind and loved how she decorated the place. My coffee was delicious and she wanted to make sure it tasted right, before I left as well. I felt so bad because it started to get busy and she was by herself, but that didn't take away the smile from her face! I hope everyone that goes appreciates her!

I Previously worked in the coffee biz for a number of years in my younger days. FINALLY a new cool coffee shop selling GREAT COFFEE and creating quality drink's in Cathedral City. Tara is the owner and a very nice person. She is using Equator Coffee from San Rafael, CA. For those of you who love coffee as I do I recommend you stop by and have a beverage and enjoy what award winning coffee actually is. You can have the best baristas in the valley but without the quality beans to work with it's impossible to create beautiful espresso beverages. We were thrilled to find Hot Lips and Tara made us a great cortado. After living full-time in Palm Springs since 2020, we have found our new go to coffee shop. I highly encourage you to go to Hot Lips coffee, you won't be disappointed.

Such a cute spot with great service and coffee! Tara helped me out and she was so friendly and warming. I asked if she knew any good vintage shops nearby and she wrote a couple spots down for me. For coffee, I got an iced lavender cappuccino which was perfect (i like less milk so i loved that they had this option). Furniture and decor was also cute and funky which I love. Thank you so much and I will be coming back soon!!

What a lovely little coffee shop! We stopped by on a Saturday morning and I'm so glad we did. The salted Carmel latte was delicious and the tropical green ice tea was perfect. On top of being a cute coffee shop, they have some vintage clothing, purses and jewelry. I found the cutest vintage pink purse that just had to come home with me. It was busy but the woman who made our coffee was friendly, focused and made our drinks quickly and correctly. Turns out she was the owner and the shop is newer. So glad we came by, highly recommend!

What a wonderful place. There's a poster on the wall of Goldie Hawn in her Laugh In days / and that' sets the vibe - colorful fun cute - and short & sweet! To the point coffee menu with all the classic standards and a few surprises. Simple but yummy pasties as I over heard " made down the street by a local bakery" delightfully not pre wrapped in plastic The cute blonde lady working the coffee & the register could not have been nicer & more efficient. Very welcoming vibe. It's worth a stop!!! Plenty of parking. Don't waste your time at a chain store. This place is worth the adventure to get out of a routine and explore. Do like Goldie would and have a giggle & go!

Tara was amazing. She didn't have the cold brew, but gave me a free shot of espresso with my drink. My golden milk tasted amazing. The decor and music was so fun and definitely had personality unlike any other coffee shop in town. 10/10

What a great addition to the area! LOVE this concept coffee boutique! The coffee is smooth and so flavorful. I love all of the retro decor. There's a mini art gallery in the front and a mini vintage boutique in the back. WiFi and easy parking too! PS for some reason Yelp deleted my first review. Shady.

Really good coffee! I got the smallest size with unsweetened almond milk and the regular syrup. It was strong but delicious. The owner was super sweet, and the shop has a great feel, definitely give this place a try. Next time, I think I'll go for a chai since I usually like my coffee drinks a bit sweeter, or I'll just add more syrup to the latte. (The muffins looked delicious too!)

Cute, perfectly styled & outfitted for the area; locally owned, woman run, independent mod coffee boutique. Tara slings a No Cal Brew called Equator Coffee and will fix it any way you like it, all with a gorgeous smile. Perfectly balanced Cold Brew & Nitro on Tap to keep you cool.

Leaving a review for the owner to see. You gotta get a very simple website up at the very least so people can see your menu, hours and directions would be an added bonus, simple stuff. Please and thank you. It doesn't have to be fancy.
