Koffi

The original Koffi — the shop that started Palm Springs’ specialty-coffee run in 2002, now anchoring the Uptown Design District.

Before Koffi became a four-café, one-roastery local chain, this Uptown location was the whole operation. It’s still the flagship in spirit: house-roasted beans, a steady counter crew, and Mount San Jacinto as the backdrop. Distinct from the South Palm Springs location covered on the tea side of this guide.
