Ernest Coffee

Greater Palm Springs


The tiki torches and the name are a nod to this perky cafe's earlier incarnation as Don the Beachcomber's founded in 1953 by Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt. There's still a tiki bar in the back but the front is all about high-octane Stumptown coffee and fresh pastries.

The sidewalk patio is a great people-watching perch. Over 21 only.
