    I was looking for a new brunch spot to try and was recommended Brunch 101. At first glance, the space felt pretty small, and I was worried it might get overcrowded. I went with my two sisters and my niece, and we were greeted and seated at a table near the entrance by the door facing the street. The overall look and vibe were a bit lacking for me. Our server was great--very attentive and friendly. As for the food, my sandwich was just okay, but the fries and the hibiscus mimosa were a solid 10/10. Overall, it was a decent experience, but probably a one-time visit for me.

    Guava and bubbles
    Jessica E.

    So glad we waited. Food was amazing. I had the smashed avo Benedict and added bacon. So good. And the guava and bubbles was really good. My husband had the hangover omelet and said it was really good mine was too good to waste space to try his. I also had the house made salsa on mine which put it over the top. We got the mimosa flight but that wasn't a hit. Our friend also got the breakfast burger he said was really good. Highly recommend!!! The lavender mimosa tasted like bath soap so I wouldn't recommend that unless that's your thing. Would definitely recommend and go back!!

    Went here after reading the reviews and it was amazing! The owner was my server and he was super welcoming and you could tell he put a lot of love into the menu. Everything was fresh and I don't think you can go wrong ordering anything on the menu highly recommend.

    I can see this place being packed on the weekends! Thankfully I went on a Friday morning while all the suckers were at work! First off parking a little weird but worth it. The outside patio had some nice ambiance with the decor and on a coolish 70s winter morning it was perfect. We opted for an inside seat though because the road construction outside was a little noisy. The place was a 10/10 after they brought out the iced coffee with frozen coffee ice cubes! Let's go no dilution here! The menu was stacked with options to satisfy anyone's hunger, they were also incredible accommodating on requests making it spot on for everyone's delight. The food was delicious, the chorizo on the Benedict was packed full of flavor and wasn't just a sloppy mess of grease! Hands down I'll be back and after seeing the different nacho varieties coming out of the kitchen imma get me nachos next trip!!

    When I come to Palm Springs, I want brunch. We came here on our second day and I had my second Benedict dish in a row. I got the smoked salmon toast that was like Eggs Benedict meets avocado toast with lox. Amazing. I ate it all. The mimosa flight was great too, my favorite was the mango pineapple. Service was great too, and sitting outside was lovely.

    Breakfast Sandy
    Lawrence K.

    Decided to give this place a try for brunch before heading back to LA and we enjoyed it. The inside is a little small but they also have outside seating to accommodate. It would just suck if it was cold outside. We orderee the Breakfast Sandy, Biscuits & Gravy Sliders, and Packcakes with Bacon. The Breakfast Sandy was pretty good and the tator tots they serve with it are seasoned really well. The Biscuits & Gravy Sliders were good but I think the gravy can use a little more seasoning and the bacon jam would be a hit inside of the slider, rather than on the side. The pancakes were fluffy and tasted pretty good. Would definitely recommend this place and will come back for future Palm Springs visits. One of the cool things about this place is you can sometimes see the owns there helping with the workload, serving and taking care of customers.

    Came across this gem upon checking out of our resort for the Memorial Day weekend. Parking was a little confusing; however, there was some street parking available as well as some spots on the other side in what appeared to be a small strip mall. There was a wait for inside seating; however, we opted to dine on the patio. Our server was the owner himself (Oscar) & he was amazing! I ended up ordering the chicken and waffles (so delish and homemade) and BFF ordered a more traditional breakfast (cannot remember) with home fries. Prices are about on par with other local establishments. Definitely a must try when in the area and I will definitely be back!

    Omelette
    Rohith V.

    Found this place on our drive back from Indian Wells and decided to stop by for a bite. It has a nice, casual brunchy vibe with a solid selection of classic brunch fare -- sweet dishes, egg-based plates, and a few sandwich/lunch options. I went with the chilaquiles. The portion was generous and definitely didn't break the bank. That said, the chip-to-topping ratio was a bit off -- I found myself with a pile of chips at the end and would've loved a bit more egg and maybe some avocado to round it out. The onions were slightly undercooked for my taste, but the red sauce, cotija cheese, and pickled onions were all flavorful and tasty. My sister ordered the omelette, which I only took a bite of, but it tasted decent overall. The crispy potatoes on the side were a standout -- golden, well-seasoned, and satisfying. Definitely ask for their hot sauce or tomatillo sauce on the side; both elevate the dish nicely. The service was friendly and attentive, which added to the overall positive experience. A solid, affordable brunch spot if you're passing through.

    Came here for brunch on a Sunday, the wait wasn't so bad, only about 10-15min. We were seated in the patio, it felt fresh because of the water mist but I didn't like how it would all come down on the drinks/food.. does this not bother anyone else? Idk, I'm a germaphobe. Service was 9/10 My daughter got the breakfast croissant and that was a 9/10 My son got the breakfast burger and he liked it 10/10 My brother got the French toast, 10/10 I got the chilaquiles and that was a 3/10, I have to remind myself to always ask what time of sauce/chile they use for the chilaquiles. Authentic red chilaquiles use red guajillo chiles. These chilaquiles had salsa, not the authentic red sauce. I do not like the salsa ones!!! The plate was huge, enough to feed 3 people. My boyfriend got the Bloody Mary and did not like it, 3/10. Also got the steak and eggs and he did enjoy that. Not sure I will be back when I'm in the area again.

    I didn't think I would like this place as much as I did. We were in the mood for brunch and when you Google brunch in Palm Springs this came up first. We sat at the counter watching the chefs do their work and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious and service was great too. Didn't have to wait too long for the table/counter either. I'd come back and actually request the counter again.

    It was Memorial Day and busy but we got seated when promised. We shared a flight of mimosas, my favorite was the lavender. He had the brioche burger and it was delicious, prepared perfectly with all the accoutrements. I ordered the Smoked Salmon toast and it was divine. The service was perfect, professional and warm. The ambiance is always nice, casual and comfortable! Highly recommend Brunch 101. I know I'll keep coming back!

    Brunch is in session! Welcome to Brunch 101 a full course exploration of all things b(reakfast) added to l(unch) equals, "The socially acceptable excuse for morning drinking." We popped in during Cathedral City pride weekend (every March) for our first meal of the day. We had about a 15 minute wait after putting our names down. They have a makeshift entrance patio area with lots of cool outdoor style furniture along with their hour and menu posted on the wooden fence door just before the start of their outdoor seating area. We ran into some of my boyfriend's friends while waiting and funny enough we ended up with their exact table once they finished their meal. Having one of the few tall tables outside was pretty nice as the outdoor seating is spacious and feels abundant. The indoor seating is nice as well though very limited, including in their bar area, but they make it work and you definitely will want to enjoy the B101 experience. Our server (I believe Oscar) was really attentive, like a one man show! He got our orders in, kept our glasses full and was very all brunch business from start to finish. We had the Smash Avo Benny with a side of fruit for him and the Soyrizo & Potato Tacos with a side salad for me to start. The food is so rich and flavorful... Like I couldn't believe the taste of delicious blends on my palate. We loved every bite and were still craving a bit more, so we split an order of Almond (pan)cakes. Ten out of ten for sure! The cool thing about Brunch 101 besides Brunch 101 is the abundance of vegetarian and vegan friendly options, clearly marked on their menu. They clearly are a master of all types of dishes for all brunchers. Drinks are plentiful from spiked things (Bloody Marys + Irish Coffees), to bubbles/sparkling to mocktails, juices, misomas (including flights), to hot coffees, teas, brews, beers, seltzers and all sorts of beveragings. It's family friendly, couple friendly, friend group friendly, date friendly, pup friendly, you friendly and even Wi-Fi friendly. Open to all with gender neutral bathrooms and shared parking at the Cathedral City Town Square/Center plaza near cool things like the Mary Pickford is D Place theater, The Roost Lounge and Monster Shakes to name a few. Open 9am to 3pm on weekends and 9am until 2pm on weekdays, at the corner of Monty Hall Drive/(East) Palm Canyon Drive. Make this Coachella Valley and Cathedral City favorite the most important experience of the day ;)

The new location on Date Palm and Gerald Ford location is a hidden gem and the inside is very welcoming. If you've been to the Philippines, the setting is similar. As a Filipino American born, I'm impressed with the "Escape to Manila meets with High Tech Bay Area" settings. You still have the Cafeteria style settings, which is the staple style restaurant, you normally see in the Philippines. Restrooms are very clean and packed with amenities. I'm ecstatic with the place and that's an awesome improvement than the last location. Service, make no mistake, you will feel at home more you're in a restaurant. The cashier is very helpful and understanding. She suggested an $11.00 plate deal, with Pancit and a choice between a 1 piece leg or thigh fried chicken piece or 4 lumpia Shanghai. I opted with the chicken and I ordered lumpia and type price of $16.00 I spent is worth it. Food is amazing and fulfilling. If you're looking for a Fried Chicken other than the Commercialize like KFC, Popeyes and even Jollibee's, Apong's Fried Chicken has the various herbs and spices and it's not salty nor bland. The texture of panko instead of flour makes the texture perfect and it orchestrates the taste with it. Pancit or Filipino pan fried noodles, similar to the Chinese Chow Mein, is a must try. Very dedicated ingredients of veggies and chicken, as well as herbs, spices and sauce is well put together. The taste is fantastic and it's not salty nor bland. Delicious!!! Ube Cake and Ube Ice Cream is a new trend and the rave of delicious is skyrocketing with the general audience. I recommend stopping at Apong's Philly Cheesesteak and Much More, if you're craving Philly Cheesesteak or Fried Chicken. I recommend the Pancit as well.

With a recent expansion to their space in Cathedral City, this location has become a gathering place for Filipinos in the Coachella Valley area. Thus we went out of our way to find this place for dinner. I found it to be mixed, and can't really recommend their food. It's a nice space inside, with a fast casual setup (order and pay first, and the food is brought to you when ready). It wasn't particularly friendly when we first arrived to the empty restaurant, but it got better as we ordered and ate. Cheesesteak Philly Style ($15.99) and Apong's Special Philly Style ($16.99). They come with fries, with an upcharge of $1 for cheese. Both had grilled mushrooms and onions mixed with the chopped steak. The Apong's special adds both cheese whiz and american cheese to the standard provolone. Both are served on Amoroso rolls from Philadelphia, which is genuine, but not particularly fresh when brought in daily. (the rolls tasted a bit stale to me). The amount of meat given could induce a hungry person to order a double portion as well, though it was just right this day. I definitely like my cheese steak with cheese whiz, and this version confirmed that (though if not offered, a good dallop of mayo is good as well, mixed with the melted provolone). Strangely, the showstring fries were the most disappointing part of the meal for me...fries can be good if the right effort is made, but that wasn't the case here. They had been deep fried a while before, and had been sitting in a warmer until served to us...thus were dried out and pretty flavorless. With what we ordered, a new batch of freshly made fries would have gone a long way to put us in a good mood, especially for dine-in. Chicken Mami Soup ($14.99) - a large bowl of chicken soup. For this price, would have hoped for something more homemade. The broth was fine, but seemed to be made from either canned chicken broth (benefit of doubt) or more likely chicken powder. Also used dried spaghetti noodles, which is not something I seek out. It did have pieces of white meat (breast) and fresh chopped vegetables like cabbage and carrots. Tasted fine, but wasn't particularly hearty. Reminded me very much of saiman, except for the price. Halo-Halo ($14.99) - it was good. Few beans (which is often used as filler), but instead large pieces of sweet plantains. It also had plenty of condensed milk and two large scoops of ice cream (both ube and vanilla). Used crushed ice, instead of shaved, which does make a big difference in consistency, but understand it's harder to do since time consuming. Apong means grandmother in Ilicano, which is the third most spoken native language in the Philippines, after Tagalog and Cebuano. The owners and workers seemed to be originally from that region; and it's really nice to use such a nice term of endearment for their endeavor.

It feels like a lived in house with a courtyard and all of the feelings that make it "home." It's familiar and inviting and that's just the beginning. We've been to Palm Springs many times and I've had this place bookmarked for too long and never had an opportunity to try it.

I ordered the Complete savory crêpe and had I not been drinking so much water from the heat, I would have devoured this in one sitting. The side salad is a nice touch and balances out the heaviness of the egg and the ham. My coworker had the avocado toast and was overjoyed that it was very plentiful and well portioned. She also ordered a fresh grapefruit juice which she let me try and I found incredibly refreshing. This is by far one of my favorite breakfast places in California! Our server was busy with many tables and at one point we did have to ask for a refill on water. It also took a really long time to get our check after we had asked for it. Outside of the service this is a must stop!
