I enjoy going to Starbucks when I need to have micro aggressive vibes. It seems like certain people get certain service just for existing. While others get treated like they did something to the employees just because they can use their platform to vent on people for no apparent reason.This is not always.... But should be never.A paying customer is just that - paying. Which is basically the lifeblood of any business. I would rather order from a Kiosk which Starbucks should implement so that they can streamline orders and maximize the user experience.As pertaining to this particular establishment. They allow aggressive homeless people to lurk around or inside which can pose a danger to the general public. The employees mean well for the most part. But they need proper management. Also security should be implemented after a certain time, possibly 6 PM. The crime rate in Palm Springs is getting very out of control.All one has to do is research.I am merely a concerned citizen and the volume in which this Starbucks host of both travelers and residents is a reflection of the state of the city as a whole. Good luck 🤞 and I expect to see improvements made.

This is the best Starbucks in the Coachella valley and maybe even in Southern California. They have specialty drinks also exclusively at this location like the “tropic like it’s hot” which is soo refreshing in Palm Springs summer heat. I always come here so no need to say I’ll be back cause it’s a given. Try it out for yourself

No outlets! Zero! What a horrible design flaw… or was this by design? Either way I hate it. Can’t bring a laptop to work here at all.

My first experience at a Starbucks Reserve and it was fantastic. I ordered a Cold Brew Affogato, which went perfectly with the hot weather in Palm Springs. The atmosphere is a bit fancier than a normal Starbucks. There is the regular cashier section, and there is a bartender (but for coffee), who puts on a spectacular show mixing drinks up. The Reserve drinks are expensive, but the good thing is, we can currently use the Starbucks Rewards.

Very neat experience, we are regular Starbucks patrons so it was exciting to visit a reserve shop! My husband tried the Siphon trio coffee experience, he really enjoyed the flavor of the Ethiopian coffee if I remember correctly! All in all, gotta check it out when in Palm Springs!

Always great service and coffee, better selections than regular Starbucks. Plus just around the corner is funky art leading to the PS art museum. I usually try the specials or highlighted coffees. The Melrose has cherry bitters in it, very good.

This is the best Starbucks weve been to. I love the coffee bar atmosphere. We went with a siphon experience, which was absolutely amazing! Kat was an amazing barista who walked us through the process. The coffee served here is their specialty roasts, which were all delicious black.

They have an incredible level of service. When I forgot to order my drink iced, and asked them to put it on ice, Rachel insisted on making a new drink for me.I left so happy!!!! Thank you Rachel, and thank you Starbucks.

If you are familiar with the Reserve stores in WA, this location will not be what you are expecting. Yes, its a nice looking store but this is definitely not an SB Reserve. At most, this location is a high end SB stand alone. It would be awesome to have the full Reserve experience available somewhere in the Palm Springs area.

Last time I was at this Starbucks it was across the street. The new building is beautiful and the decorations are awesome. Very friendly and inviting. The wife and I were just dropping in for a quick coffee before we headed home but if we come back to Palm Springs we might find ourselves sitting inside or on the patio outside enjoying a drink.

A big Starbucks that now has a brewing bar to sit and order different styles of brewed coffee! The place is very big with different type of seating than the typical Starbucks. The service and quality is very good. There is also huge outdoor seating available as well.

Great stop in palm springs. Melrose drink was a fantastic find! Unique to Starbucks reserve and I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation of the drink. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area as you wont find this drink in regular Starbucks.

Review №22

Just found out Starbucks no longer offers Sweet N Low in this area, I think as a corporate policy? Feels like they are trying to make a statement about what I should, or should not, consume. Frankly, I dont need them making my decisions. This particular location is extremely nice and a great place, which makes it even sadder that Ill need to find another place for coffee. If this is some kind of health statement from SB, they need to let people make their own decisions. If its some other reason they need to seriously re-thing what theyre doing.

Mark made our day! I had my order wrong, MY FAULT but I didn’t notice but he didn’t waste time in figuring out the situation. He pleased my wish by giving me my correct order at no charge. LOVE THE MUSIC AND THE VIBE HERE. Not an ordinary Starbucks. Will mark this spot to come back here often. Thank you 🙏 👌❤️

This new store (for me) in downtown Palm Springs, was beautiful. It was big, bright and had just about any coffee drink you could want. From espresso to lattes, and mochas to fraps. They also sold many different coffees for home and their other home items. Plenty of room inside and out (when its not to hot) for groups. It was built across the street from the old shop, so you dont have to look to far to find it.

Let me start by saying that it’s a beautiful facility. It’s big and new. Also, it’s a Starbucks Reserve, which means that it’s a specialty menu spot. There is only 25 in the country. We sat down at the bar and ordered a siphon coffee. Our coffee master Kyle was amazing! He explained the whole process and even gave us samples of coffee. It was so cool to learn from him and his staff. We also had the Hazelnut bianco Latte and it was excellent! My mom ordered the malt and she loved it! We highly recommend this Starbucks especially if you have not had the reserve experience!

If you like Starbucks then you will surely enjoy this one when you visit Palm Springs (or maybe you live there). It was very busy the morning I stopped in but my order was ready quickly (I ordered through the app). The employees were nice and friendly. There was a little crowd control going on - they were pausing people from entering for a brief moment when it got to crowded inside (crowded by covid standards). There was outdoor seating.

This Starbucks Reserve is great for coffee. The location is prime for the small city of Palm Springs, CA. The customer service is on par for a Starbucks. Very upbeat personalities. The coffee is what one would expect. The difference is that this location offers Reserve options. As far as a Reserve, this location is far below the lackluster of its fellow Reserves. Seattle, Milan, now those are truly exquisite locations. Not every Reserve needs to be that exquisite, however have something that inspires the customer to venture into the shop, other than a cold pressed siphon drip. The outdoor seating is acceptable and youll find a great array of folks who enjoy this location. Parking can be of issue at this location.

A great place for people watching, if you enjoy that. This is the very heart of [downtown] Palm Springs. A lively area, new construction going on. Pkg just 1 bl to the W, behind the Kimpton (hotel). Standard sbux drinks menu, plus their new Reserve special drinks bar. Quite a bit of outdoor seating outside the sbux + just to the W towards the Kimpton. Everybodys here - from the homeless to the truly well-off.

Not much one for Starbucks to be honest but here this is the life of the town in the mornings and the service is high. Manager often walking outside ensuring ppl are taken care off, Ive seen them giving out water, samples, its just a lovely well kept store with high quality friendly ppl. Def a Starbucks Reserve.

Saw this place on Youtube, so thought Id check it out. The exclusive starbucks reserve WOW! The only thing more rude and pompous than the customers, were the employees! First off, NOTHING exclusive or unique about this. Be ready for just a typical starbucks, with long lines and rude employees. Do yourself a favor, DO NOT stop here or waste your time, unless you like being spoken to rudely, dismissive and paying a whole lotta money, for a whole lotta nothin! Only wish I could give it LESS than 1 star!!!

I had a great experience here. There were quite a few things that were sold out but that’s understandable. The Starbucks Reserve menu was a bit limited to say the least. The reserve drinks came in pretty high quality cups considering that they were meant to be thrown away. All in all, I had a good experience.

Probably the nicest Starbucks I have ever been to. The architecture and design of the interior and exterior is just awesome. Great outdoor seating area. Located at the heart of downtown Palm Springs. Sometimes there are HUGE lines, but the staff is pretty good at moving it along. Great selection of reserve coffees (the Jamaican Blue Mountain) and unique ways of brewing (try the siphon for a full on experience). I frequent often when I’m in town

Review №94

They get some points for trying to be fancy and the whole Reserve brand is a cute effort. But it doesnt matter if you serve coffee via coffee press, pour-over, chemex, or siphon. Bad beans make bad coffee. They barely even have a light roast selection, which is the whole point of pour-over. And watching the poor barista lean over the counter to make the drink, its like the place is set up for fashion over function. I wish they would reserve some quality beans for their reserve Starbucks. But at the end of the day, its the same average Starbucks with a pretty design.

I had never been in a Starbucks Reserve store before this trip to Palm Spring. It was a great experience. When our party of 4 was in line we were greated by Gavin who called us over to the bar and had us take a seat while he took our order. He was fun and joked around with our 12 year old. He became Uncle G. The drinks were up quickly and tasted great. The entire staff there seemed very friendly and happy.

Eye-rolling good coffee. I strongly recommend the Melrose with Heavy cream.It is heaven here. Surprised to see how inexpensive the specialty coffees were here. I had to try a few things. No matter how its prepared, coffee is top notch here. Going to Palm Springs, and excited that I get to enjoy Reserve every day!
