Il Sogno - Palm Desert

A wonderful European café here in the desert. The menu is simple, tasty and everything is from scratch. The cappuccino is better than most places in Italy for this matter. Yes, it is European (the owner is from Europe), so do not expect the typical oversweet, mass-promoted tariff that is common for business locations. They'll take care of you here, but they're not going to be unpleasant... refreshing and making a peaceful retreat from the outside world. Sidewalk tables are great for chilling and enjoy a bit of people watching, and it is very common that complete strangers do not stay strangers here.

Beautiful discovery on El Paseo. Very friendly and personable service from the owner of this beautiful small shop. Very nice furnished with a great atmosphere. And the coffee was excellent and the pastries delicious.

What a pretty little place. I would never have seen it, but I've been looking for places to drive coffee and it's on Google Maps. We travel to Italy this summer to get a feeling for what's in the store. Very good latte and delicious raspberry tar. The prices are pretty high...$18 for the two items. But they were delicious. I'd come back.

I love this place! It is a nice café that you would find in Paris or Italy. The pastries are delicious and I think the cappuccinos are the best. It's small, but so charming. One of my favorite spots in Palm Desert.
