A new coffee shop, Desert Kid Coffee, is set to open its doors in Palm Desert by December 2023. Located at 44850 San Pablo Avenue, the establishment is being developed by Orr Builders and will be co-founded by local entrepreneur Katie Reed. Construction on the site commenced recently, with a construction fence erected this week. The contracting work is expected to be completed by mid-November, allowing for a timely opening before the end of the year.
Location and Community Impact
The 5,402-square-foot space, originally built in 1955, is situated in a vibrant retail corridor on San Pablo Avenue. This area has recently benefited from an investment of $8.5 million, aimed at enhancing local businesses and attracting more visitors. The property will offer 10 dedicated parking spots, making it accessible for customers.
Katie Reed, a native of the Coachella Valley, brings a wealth of experience to her new venture. Before launching Desert Kid Coffee, Reed developed her career in the tech and healthcare sectors after starting her professional journey at local establishments such as Outback Steakhouse and Mikado Sushi Japanese Restaurant. Her return to Palm Desert marks an exciting new chapter, as she aims to contribute to the community through this coffee shop.
Future Plans and Vision
Reed expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating that Desert Kid Coffee will not only serve high-quality beverages but also foster a sense of community among locals and visitors alike. The shop aims to be a welcoming space where people can gather, work, and enjoy the unique offerings of the Coachella Valley.
As the opening date approaches, anticipation is building in the community. With a focus on quality and local engagement, Desert Kid Coffee is poised to become a popular destination in Palm Desert, showcasing the entrepreneurial spirit of its founder and the vibrancy of the region.
