This is our new favorite cafe ... Had stopped in a couple weeks ago to check out the Bakery ... came away with the BEST Bread Pudding we have ever had in the valley. Vowed to go back ... and did today, for breakfast. Super good! The Chilaquiles are awesome and also the best we've had in the valley. Also they have really good booths; highly comfortable and at the right height. Next time: Lunch read more

First time trying this bakery. Elizabeth was at the counter taking care of me. I ordered a cinnamon roll, bacon breakfast burrito and black coffee. Everything was good. Elizabeth was attentive, friendly and efficient. I will definitely be back. Need to try different items from the menu. read more

Carousel Bakery & Cafe - Bodega burrito... Also had an almond croissant, but it didn't stand a chance. Eaten before I even thought of taking a picture. - Bakeries Near Me - Palm Springs, California

I like this place a lot, and have since it's earlier incarnation as a smaller version in the same strip mall it's in now. The pastries are the highlight - gorgeous, creative, big portions, and delicious and with quite a variety. Breakfast and lunch are also varied and well crafted. My only qualm is that the waiter often seems distracted - you can ask repeatedly for no-brainers like silverware or water or extra butter or whatever with a lot of delay or mix-up, even when the place is empty or mostly so. And sometimes the order gets mixed up. Still, a solid option for breakfast or lunch or an afternoon pastry run. read more

Pretty bummed with an our experience here! I've had Carousel bookmarked for a while as we frequent the desert often. We were celebrating a birthday, so it felt like the perfect occasion to order a beautiful cake and enjoy breakfast as a family in their dining space. Employees are rather unhelpful. Our cake order was not ready on time, which was a bit frustrating when managing schedules with kids. I also didn't appreciate the employee watching our entire family select breakfast items to only subsequently tell us that they are not serving breakfast at all that day. read more

I ordered the ultimate croissant breakfast sandwich and asked if potato salad came with it. I got no response. Apparently it's five dollars for a scoop of potato salad which if I had known that I would've not gotten it. Nothing else comes with the $17 sandwich. This was at 12:20 PM. 30 minutes later this is what I received and it was $25. I asked for it to go because I am at the courthouse and at jury duty and I cannot spend an hour for lunch. They need more help here. Also the sandwich menu said provolone and this is clearly cheddar cheese and it was mixed in with the scrambled eggs along with the spinach. The waitresses were clearly busy and she gave me no alternative than to get it to go and I still paid the $25 I would not recommend this at all. Used to be really good but now that they've expanded their menu that's gone downhill. Go there if you have time money and patience or just grab a roll to go from their bakery. read more

Wanted something quick and was somewhat tight on time but wanted to try some place different. This has a Togo area and a sit down area where you can get waited on. I got, to go and sat in the area since had some time to finish what I ordered. They do have a decent amount of pastries to choose from which is good and a decent drink menu. Nothing really stood out to me but what I ordered was good. Nothing crazy good, just good. The people working there though seemed a little all over the place and almost seemed confused how to run it or at least deal with the customers who kept coming in. Especially when they didn't know where to go to be seated. Either way it's decent inside. It's comfortable and the feel of it and where it's located, suits the feel for it. Price side you are looking about $5-10 per item per person. The sit down menu which I glanced at, seemed a little pricier than other cafes but who knows the food might be worth it. My first experience was average. I might or might not give it another try. But maybe your experience will be better than mine. read more

What an amazing hidden gem! I regularly drop my dog off to get his haircut in this plaza and am always looking for things to do. Some of the other restaurants don't open until later in the day, but this one was open nice and early. I was expecting a small bakery or coffee shop, but was pleasantly surprised to find full seating when I arrived! The place was super busy too -- lots of people coming in and out to try the delicious grub. I had the lox and eggs benny on a jalapeño scone and it was incredible. My only suggestion was that the scone would've been amazing if it was toasted, but I'm sure they can do that for you upon request! Also a heads up that their hollandaise sauce is more on the lemony/citrusy side -- something to be mindful of if you're not into that. I thought it was great contrasting flavors to the spice of the scone! Will be back again! read more

We're Dining with The Davids. When we go to a restaurant, we bring a group of friends known as our "Taste Buds." We typically order a 12-course meal, which allows us to really get to know the menu. At the end of the evening, everyone votes for their favorite dishes, which we turn into video content for Instagram, TikTok, and beyond. For this visit, we brought 7 of our Taste Buds to Carousel Bakery in Palm Springs--and every single person left impressed. This spot is a total hidden gem near the airport, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or grabbing something on your way in or out of town. Owners Liz and Alberto clearly pour their heart into every homemade dish. We sampled a variety of items including the Cochinita Burrito, Huevos Rancheros, Ultimate Breakfast Croissant, Eggs Benedict, French Toast, Ciabatta Tri-Tip, and Focaccia Brisket. Not a single miss among them. But the true star? The Pistachio Cheesecake--rich, creamy, and hands down the best pastry of the day. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, plus catering services for larger events. Whether you're local or just visiting, Carousel Bakery is absolutely worth a stop. read more

I grabbed some back goods on one visit and had breakfast on another at Carousel. I selected the chocolate croissant and Mexican wedding cookie for my to go morning treat. I was not super impressed with either as the croissant was a bit bland overall and the cookie disintegrated into crumbs. Service at the counter was a bit slow as there was just one person to handle making espresso drinks and bakery purchases. My breakfast visit was nice. I had a scrambled egg, ham, pesto bowl and it was a good size and had great flavors. I also had a Bear Claw and a decaf iced mocha. The Bear Claw was very good and definitely recommended. The coffee had an off flavor and was just okay. Service was very friendly and hard working. It was busy but not slammed yet food came out slow and others in the restaurant were getting restless. I will come back and try other items on their menu. read more

Well that Lady and I were in need of some sustenance and a break from paperwork. I remembered seeing a bakery/cafe near our dog groomer, as we were a few blocks away we decided to give it a try. Both of us decided on sandwiches. Hers was a French Dip and I went for a Reuben. They were served on a cutting board with potatoes salad on some lettuce with a pickle. We both could not believe how savory they were. Both were served warm on a fresh baked bun and rye bread. The food was absolutely delicious. I picked up some biscotti for the next morning's coffee toy test their baking read more

They make fun of me for not speaking Spanish but the humiliation pales in comparison to how delicious their food is.

Was excited to share this locals Jem with my sister. Off the regular tourist spot. Had delicious on point meals previously. In fact Carousel provided birthday cookies for my birthday a few years ago. A week ago we went for lunch. Looked like every inside table was waiting for their food. Took a minute to get a server's attention. Ordered. Then WAITED 45 minutes for our food. Was ready to eat my power bar I always have in my purse. Food was fine.....at this point Then waited to get our bill for 20 minutes . Had to ask a different server, said our server was busy.... VERY DISAPPOINTED... Please do better.... No stars this visit read more

My first breakfast here was mediocre a few weeks ago. I gave it a second chance today as it's convenient. This time I've confirmed mediocre. And really, the food is tasteless & lousy. I won't be back to dine here. The dining room has been open ten months. I'd be surprised if they make it. Get a new chef/cook and put out some food that people will boast about to their friends. Do yourself a favor and go to Goodys or Elmers. read more

Loved this little gem We ordered lox and bagel and toasted onion bagel with cream cheese with two drinks ( green juice and Honey oat milk latte. The lox bagel was delicious so so good and tasted fresh. The potato salad was also tasty. Honey oat milk latte: it was good overall but I like more sweet drinks and this was not very sweet but more a preference thing. Green Juice: right amount of sweetness, can taste the ginger and kale! It was great Onion bagel: was perfect! Tasted fresh The service was also great! Quick and efficient. The place is also cute! Nice spot. read more

The person who was taking orders (and serving) was so RUDE!! We happened to see a couple of friends having coffee and a pastry, they mentioned to the person that their coffee was cold and that man didn't care one bit, he didn't make it right for his customers!! He also was RUDE to someone who called to place an order!! I felt like we were being rushed to place our order. We shouldn't have ordered anything from that place!! I will never go back there!! That man should not work with people!!! read more

Couldn't decide if I wanted a coffee or something more refreshing after a little hike. I went with their green juice. I didn't read the menu correctly and saw it was blended, more like a smoothie. It was good, but I think I was expecting more of a green juice, less smoothie like. The pastries looked amazing. And they had cute seating section. I would come back, maybe for brunch or coffee and a pastry. The customer service was great too. Everyone was pretty friendly. read more

Had lunch today and it was wonderful. Tuna salad sandwich on Rye was delicious. Lentil soup too! Decent prices! 5 star!

Nice ambiance. Food very underwhelming, especially for higher than average prices. Bakery also overpriced but at least generous in sizes. Service was extremely poor. Owner was putting cookies into a case and made no eye contact or welcome. Two servers behind counter with no line, zero eye contact or acknowledgment. Watched them in slow motion refilling coffee machine without any regard to customers standing there. Once we got any attention there was zero warmth, apologies or customer service. read more

HIGHLY recommend! was coming out with family for PS vacation this summer and so about 2 weeks in advance I started my dig into places in the area that would or could make me a custom BD Cake for my wife as a surprise. this place had quite a few good reviews and so I started down the path of wanting to work with them. LVM and got a call back the next day from one of the Bakers they worked with me on design and different layers I was hoping to see regardless of cost and was able to pick up on the morning of her BD and Cake turned out great ! I got to their location and a bit early and so as they were finishing up I was offered a free Coffee n pastry to help pass the time! (left cash tip of course for this) CAKE was a hit and really surprised my wife --I would highly recommend this business and needs for this again while in the area would certainly use them again --NO QUESTION read more

Stumbled across this place when we took a wrong turn to go to a different place. Service was great and staff were friendly and attentive. Th pastry selection alone was enough for us. Everything baked in house and looks delicious. We got a ham and cheese croissant and jalepeno scone to go. We decided to have breakfast as well and my husband loved his breakfast burrito with bacon and I had the breakfast bowl which was both tasty and filling! We will definitely be back when in Palm Springs read more

They added a cafe. They are in a much bigger space in the same shopping center, just to the right of Spectrum on El Cielo. They expanded their selection of baked goods and have a full coffee menu, plus a dining room serving breakfast, sandwiches, and burgers. We got the Turkey Club and the Reuben. The sandwiches are big, and we took half home for lunch the next day. They really did a nice remodel on the old Nicolina's space, and the food and baked goods are excellent. read more
