Cups is definitely one of my favorite breakfast places in the valley. I come here several times a month. It never fails when family and friends visit the desert, they too leave very satisfied. There are many things that keeps me coming back and sharing about it with others. The food is always fresh and delicious. The other thing is the service. All the staff are attentive and have amazing personalities. Cups has an awesome group of dedicated and hard workers. Thank you for the exceptional experience every time I visit and I look forward to our continued relationship! read more

The restaurant itself is nice but very little. The wait time was not too bad. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and for that I gave my review 3 stars. The food I was not a fan of the chilaquiles were so salty I didn't even finish them. The green sauce tasted like the canned sauce you buy at groceries and was so sour. I was very disappointed because a lot of friends recommended this place. I'll give another try but maybe not try Mexican good and go for a more traditional American breakfast. read more

Cups Cafe - Chilaquiles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Palm Desert, California

We love Cups Cafe. Our gym crew walks over regularly for the best cold brews. Today, our group of 15 had exceptional service from Karen and the entire team for brunch. The Chefs Wrap is delicious. The turkey melt with sweet potato fries is one of my favorites. The mimosas are always tasty. One of the best brunch spots in the valley. read more

Great food, great service, creative decor, reasonable prices! Great breakfast and brunch spot. Highly recommended.

Okay, first the positives. Nice patio, friendly waiter, good pancakes, good eggs bacon and hash browns, good coffee. Not good. The lobster on the eggs Benedict was really bad. It looked pink and the texture and taste was really unsettling . Mom and I felt queasiness and unsettled for many hours after trying it. Not because it were not fresh but because it was not appetizing in our opinion. The waiter was so nice to take it off the menu. The potatoes were only okay and the butter is in a tiny package. Why, I don't know. I would recommend ordering the things I said were good. And possibly the eggs Benedict without any lobster! Defiantly the hash browns over the potatoes. read more

We were recommended Cups Cafe when staying in Palm Desert and decided to come there for breakfast one day. We came in and were immediately greeted and seated by a server. Another server came by and was so friendly and welcoming. Everyone we encountered was very welcoming! We both ordered coffee to start ($3.25) and both ordered the Cups Omelet ($14.95) including a side of country potatoes and a few pieces of fruit. Portions were large and everything came out very fresh. I loved the food and service, and was a standout experience of our trip. I highly recommend trying if you're in the Palm Desert area! read more

Great service, usually pretty busy in the mornings/weekends as expected, we joined the waitlist and were sat within 10 mins. The steak and eggs dish is very tasty, I've been here twice and got it again because it was just THAT good! Very cutely decorated inside. read more

This restaurant is absolutely adorable. The moment I walked in I was in love. The atmosphere is so beautiful. I absolutely fell in love with the mirror wall. What i loved most about my experience was that EVERY one on staff took care of us. It wasn't just one server. It was a group "Team work" A family feeling. I will definitely will return when i'm back in town and let me not forget my dish was amazing. read more

A neighborhood gem! We got to the restaurant in time to avoid any measurable wait- but a line formed outside while we were eating. What a great find for coffee, coffee drinks, farm fresh food, and low key ambiance! Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and offered some great recommendations. Fresh hot coffee refills were never a problem. Despite a staffing shortage, food was served hot and in a timely manner. Our server frequently checked on us, too. Oh my! The seasonal pumpkin pancake was delicious. A MUST try. Adding a hunk of protein (skirt steak) to the chilaquiles was a good move. For those who want standard fare- the omelette was chock-o-block full of cheese and bacon. Nice outdoor patio seating and Covid protocol distanced tables placed indoors. Reasonably priced for farm fresh food. Super happy we found this cute place via Yelp and other people's reviews. Thank you! When we're back in town we will definitely return here! Highly recommend. read more

The food at Cups is amazing. Every time I am leaving I think, next time I will get...., but I always get the same thing because they do it so well. They have all the favorites: Monte Christo, Eggs Benedict, Omelets, Scrambles, etc. The service is good. The restaurant can get busy and it can feel chaotic. With people making sure you have ordered, but that is better than sitting and not beeping see The ambiance is what makes cups truly special. Try it you'll be back. read more

The food was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. It's a cute little place. The hazelnut cappuccino was amazing

It was our final morning of a mini stay in Palm Springs when we needed some breakfast and Cups Cafe was the place to supply it. This nice little shop is located inside of a plaza with plenty of parking so it's pretty convenient to go to. The inside of this place is absolutely covered in cool decorations, a lot of which are mirrors which gives it a pretty cool effect. The menu here has a lot of cool options for breakfast with a lot of Mexican inspired dishes that I haven't had much of, but sure was excited to find out. I ended up ordering the El Ranchero omelette which according to the menu is potato chorizo cake, tortilla strips topped with cups pasilla sauce, fresh cream & queso fresco served with refried beans & country potatoes (yummy). My breakfast was not served with potatoes and was instead with some hard tortilla style chips, but I think I messed up ordering so that's entirely on me. The tortillas were definitely not my thing although the dipping stuff definitely gave them some flavour. The chorizo omelette itself was pretty good, from the flavour of the meats and sauces to the eggs themselves. Was it something I would order again? Probably not, but it wasn't a bad experience. Overall, Cups Cafe seems like a place I would definitely come back to and try something else. The staff was great and super friendly, the restaurant itself had a nice look to it, and the diverse menu offers a little something for anyone. read more

Cups Cafe - El Ranchero - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Another AWESOME breakfast, on Valentine's Day with my wifey. I ordered the Ranchero Omelet this time and it was DELECTABLE. The potatoes they came with were terrific and I dipped them in the container of beans that were on the plate. These are no ordinary beans, they seemed to be more of a puree with seasoning and something else in there. Every time we visit, the meals get even better. They are now my favorite breakfast locale in Coachella Valley. Check them out. read more

This is a wonderful little breakfast and lunch spot. I have always enjoyed whatever I order. The service is excellent. Highly recommend.

The outdoor seating is nice and perfect for an early February brunch! They have good options for children and the service was good! The food was tasty! My son even asked for a second pancake! Everyone else's food smelled delicious! I imagine that you can't go wrong with anything that you order! read more

Cups was a wonderful spot for my birthday brekkie with my BFF. Our server was attentive and pleasant, and the Mexican Bennies were fantastic. My cinnamon swirl French toast were out of this world. I almost took an extra order to go. My Bestie and I were so glad to see that they welcome pooches on the patio. We fell in love with Mia, a tiny Yorkie, who is the unofficial mascot. Cups is super cute and the food is excellent. We both loved the teacup themed decor throughout. The cappuccinos were frothy bliss. One suggestion is to bring more tortilla chips with the Benedicts at breakfast-- maybe even offer chips at the beginning of the meal. They were so good. read more

Of course read about this café on yelp so decided to try it. The coffee was great and our server. Jamie was pretty good. I ordered the cups omelette and it was really different and I liked it. What I didn't like was the potatoes that came with it, they were kind of like mashed potatoes. My husband ordered the American breakfast eggs over easy, but they were not. He did like the sausage. The place is really cute and was easy to find. read more

Had a hankering for a tuna melt & saw they had it on the menu with an added bonus of grilled onions. That was different & it sounded good. Service was friendly & efficient. However, the food left much to be desired. The potato wedges were good. The tuna melt managed to have very little flavor, even with the added grilled onions. It was very bland. For the price, I expected a great tuna melt. It's not that hard! Not sure I'll be back. read more

If you love chilaquiles go here! If you hate chilaquiles, go here! Lol, chilaquiles is their specialty here and I absolutely loathe chilaquiles because they're just soggy nachos with bland sauce....usually. however, the chilaquiles here still had crispy crunchy goodness. I couldn't believe it! Sauce {got half red and half green) was flavorful too. But mild. Still good though. The chef's breakfast wrap has everything but the kitchen sink. That's why no substitutions are allowed. Get the regular version if you want to sub things out. I asked for hot sauce and they brought, Cholula, Tabasco (I can't recall) and a cup of their house salsa. It looked like soy sauce. And it wasn't hot... At first. That sauce was a creeper in the if heart and flavor. The more you had, the hotter it got and the tastier it got. I asked to take some home but it waited wouldn't allow it. :( Oh, I forgot about the pancakes. They were decent. Nothing to write home about but at the same time they were good and better than your standard from a box mix Will definitely return here for breakfast. Just give me some of the house salsa to take home is all I ask! read more

My previous review about the food and seating here is definitely still valid. My only complaint about this restaurant is it always feels like the employees try to rush you out to serve the next customer. They almost hover over your table every 3 minutes and it makes us feel like we have to rush eating. I'm not sure if they're trained to do that due to them being open for only about 7 hours every day and they're always quite busy, but everyone there is paying for their service and I feel this is something they could improve on. read more

Food is pretty good, service is excellent BUT the Noise is ridiculous! You cannot hear the person next to you! I went twice ( no more!)
