Main Street Coffee Company - La Quinta

I usually don 't leave reviews, but I felt this was warranted. We were very disappointed in the service. The barista wasn 't friendly at all. It was like, What do you want? No smile. As business owners for over 30 years, one of the most important things is greeting the public with at least a smile. They should be thankful someone is coming into their place of business to help pay their paycheck. Repeat customers are key. Also, when she rang up our order, the only choices for a tip were 25% or 30%. With those as the options, I would think they could at least produce a smile or say thank you. I am not sure we will be returning to this place of business. It is sad that the owner loses a customer. Hopefully, friendliness can be restored. One employee, especially at rush hour in the morning, could lose a lot of customers.

Lovely location first thing in the morning… but… ok I’m a coffee snob … and it was somewhat lackluster. Latte was too hot, cappuccino too large… coffee lacked fragrance and body… perhaps time for a machine clean ..or maybe it’s time to re-evaluate the time for the espresso pour? Didn’t try the baking which looked lovely and just pulled out of the oven. I’d go back in hopes of this fine tuning though because the location was delightful… and then there’s the baking.

We were here on vacation and stopped in on a busy day (Art on Main Street). The line moved quickly. We ordered an iced mocha and an iced Tiger Spice Chai. Coffee was good and the Chai was the best I’ve had from a coffee shop.

Nice local coffee shop with pastries and a lovely patio in Old Town La Quinta.

Friendly staff. Great location. Nice selection of muffins, croissants, coffees, and teas.
