    Breakfast Burrito

    Yummy, friendly, and affordable!! Try the breakfast burrito with sausage! And the salsa on the side adds a great extra layer of flavor!

    I've just got to say, I'm so happy they are still here after all these years. Recently I rediscovered the John's in Palm Springs. Ever since, the Palm Desert location has been on my list to re-visit. I have many fond memories of visiting this location many moons ago. When I lived and worked in the area. The chicken sandwich and zucchini are still my favorite menu items. I love the distinct char flavor of the chicken. Plus the seasoned breading and large piece's of the fried zucchini are just perfect on their own or dipped in ranch sauce. Generous portions, friendly staff, comfortable booths and delicious food! They have their own parking lot to the rear of the building.

    Pancakes for me, biscuits and gravy for ina friend.  Both great!
    Randy S.

    I love the pancakes here. Very tasty and for $9.00 can't beat it! Everyone is friendly and the server came by twice to check on us. It's not a fancy place but it's good food at a good price.

    I love John's in Palm Springs, so of course I had to stop by John's in Palm Desert because I just wanted to something good, fast, and cheap. I actually came here twice, but the first time was just to get a breakfast burrito to go. It was the greasy goodness that I was hoping to get. Second time I came here was for an actual sitdown experience. Got the gyro dinner with fries and vegetables. It was solid, as I was expecting. Definitely let here very satisfied!

    Fish and chips come with coleslaw
    Terry Y.

    The staff were friendly and the food looked good but my expectations were not met. Had the Fish and Chips, and initially, the coleslaw tasted good but had an after taste, which deminished my interest. The fish was hot but greasy. The fries were plentiful but became less crispy the longer they were on the plate. I was the only person in the place for most of the time I was there, and I was surprised how long it took for the meal to get to me. Their breakfast must be great because my dinner was mearly subsistence, yet it has been open for years. Maybe I just caught them on bad day.

    Here is what it should say: Special: The works omelette (no apostrophe and omelet was misspelled) Ham, bacon, sausage and cheddar cheese.

    Paradise Cove Cafe is a small, unassuming breakfast & lunch spot that's punching way above its…read moreweight and scoring a whole bunch of knockouts. Located on Town Center Way, it's got the feel and look of most other diner/coffee shops, though the decor includes some beachy elements, I assume in a nod to the famous Paradise Cove empire in Malibu. Walking in, one might expect the usual breakfast suspects to look and taste as they usually do, but the folks in this kitchen are aiming for more and delivering the unexpected. Service is swift and attentive, and our server, Jahlyn, made sure to check on us quite a bit. They've got a long list of Pancake and Waffle variations to choose from, many of which looked like something out of a Dr. Seuss book, but my wife went simple: a Buttermilk Pancake with Bacon. Okay, you can get this anywhere, but not THIS! The pancake was large and imposing, but light and fluffy while managing to have pleasingly crisp edges. The flavor smacked of vanilla, and blended nicely with butter and syrup, while the bacon had been slowly rendered before being fried, giving it a crispness throughout that even extended to the fat, which melted on the tongue and delivered maximum bacon-ocity! I ordered the Chorizo Con Papas: eggs with homemade Pork Chorizo, Seasoned Home Fries, Sautéed Onion, & Serrano Peppers with Sour Cream on the side. I asked it be made as a scramble instead of an omelet, and they happily obliged. This was a terrific egg dish, perfectly executed and packed with flavor and spice. The homemade chorizo was lean and amply seasoned, while the sautéed onions and sliced Serrano peppers added a serious hit of heat. Sour cream was a nice, cooling foil for the richness and spice, and the potatoes added heft. Biscuits & Gravy served instead of toast were also phenomenal, the rich, flavorful sausage gravy having both a peppery punch and a slight tang from either citrus or sour cream. Paired with buttery biscuits, this was a very savory and satisfying side. There's no question that this little nook is serving some of the very best breakfast in the area -- and no question that you should be planning your own visit very soon.

    Whenever I travel, I like to try the diners and cafés locals recommend. I was in Palm Desert for a…read moretrade show and decided to give Paradise Cove Cafe a try. It did not disappoint. The café sits in a shopping center, so parking was easy--always a welcome change from circling until you're dizzy. Inside, it has the booths and tables you'd expect from a neighborhood diner, plus outdoor seating, a little California sun-and-surf character, and an owner's sense of humor on display in the tower of pancakes on the wall. The music was loud enough to enjoy without making conversation a shouting match. I ordered the country fried steak and eggs and one of the chef's "signature secret recipe" pancakes. My food arrived in about 12 minutes. The steak was covered in flavorful sausage gravy and came with two eggs and home fries that tasted freshly made. The pancake had crisp edges and a moist, sweet center. Add butter and maple syrup, and I can see why the chef keeps that recipe a secret. I'd order it again. Even the tea was brewed in-house. The staff was friendly, and Jacqueline was especially attentive. She kept my glass full and brought extra napkins before I had to ask--a small thing, but she clearly noticed what I needed. The bill was higher than I'm used to paying for breakfast, but it didn't give me heartburn. I left well fed and glad I'd stopped in. My ratings (5 being a great experience) * Parking and atmosphere: 4 out of 5 * Quality of ingredients: 4 out of 5 * Taste of food: 5 out of 5 * Service: 5 out of five * Overall: 4.5 out of 5 If you're visiting Palm Desert and looking for a good breakfast or lunch, don't overlook Paradise Cove Cafe. .

The food in the restaurant was delicious our server Luis was so friendly and really made our stay nice. We have stayed out in this area so many times and this is our first time here and we will definitely be back the room and the bathrooms are huge. The bed is so comfortable and sitting out on the patio overlooking the golf course is so serene. We ate breakfast and lunch in the restaurant and it was delicious. They have a secret window where you can go and get quick food. There is no reason to leave this area in a car the entire time you're here my only recommendation to the hotel is make the pools cooler. They were very warm even early in the morning, but I understand with it being this hot you may not be able to keep them as cool as most people would like. our kids would've loved the kids pool with the fun slides. I thought I was too old to give them a try, but maybe next time.

We were there for a conference and a group of us showed up around the same time from the same flight. I was a bit let down by the rooms versus the cost.... now hear me out -- i get it theres a pool, golf, some restaurants and to be fair im only here for a conference -- but the rooms need a major upgrade -- first off the doors are heavy and all the rooms all i heard was doors slamming -- especially when we first arrived -- i think the cleaning staff just kept going in and out a room across from us and the dorr slammee 20+ times. Maybe our room was a handcapp assessible room - not sure but we had a tub with all the grab bars and shower. The water was hot, and the room was clean but we were seriously lacking extrra towels, no hand towels, had to ask for more toilet paper, and ran out of shower gel. the bed was comfortable but when it was time to sleep i could hear everything... people upstairs walking in their room or whatver they were doing was the worst - i thought they wre going to fall through! then the people getting back to their rooms late at night and the slamming doors -- i cant! I didnt sleep well. We also hd a very large crack in the door between the door and sdoor sill which not only let sound echo in but also light. Didnt use the pool, but walked around -- they have a koi pond - it needs to be cleaned out - could be nice but clearly needs a good cleaning. We did eat on site at Pizini restaurant and it was okay. Coffee shop was fast, friendly and good! Check out was a pain- I was going to check out with the desk but one lady was doing something at the computer and not waiting on people while two other employees where just with customers - one who was along a bunch of questions about shipping something and the other who was trying to figure out what room he wanted - I waited and waited - orders my uber and finally just walked over to the lady who wasn't helping customers and asked her if I could just give her my keys - she didn't seem to want to take them and said she would give him to the guy who was waiting on the guy who wanted to ship something. - so they need more staff at the check in-out area - there were about 10 people in line when I left. I ended up using the app for check out anyways and the hotel sent me an email thanking me for my stay overall, be prepared to walk a ways to the rooms, and if I wasnt at a conference I definelty wouldnt pay those prices to stay here.

    I tried FARM on Sunday for brunch, and it was definitely busy. There was a waiting list, and as a…read moresingle it took me about 15-20 minutes to get a table, which honestly wasn't bad at all. I've been getting a little fed up with relying on Google recommendations lately. You'll see places with 5,000+ reviews and almost five stars, then you actually go there and the food is a huge disappointment. FARM was one of those places where the food actually lived up to the reviews and the hype. I ordered the Spanish Migas with a side of potatoes and a small French press. The Migas were perfectly cooked, and the spice level was just right. You could taste each ingredient separately, and the salsa was really good too. The potatoes were probably one of my favorite parts--crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The coffee was great as well. My server, Carol R., was very attentive and kept checking on me throughout the meal. She even double-checked the name and receipt, which I appreciated because she was clearly paying attention to the details and making sure everything was correct. The atmosphere is really nice too. It actually feels like you're sitting on a farm, which makes the whole brunch experience feel special. And considering the portion size, quality of the food, and how popular this place is, I thought the price was very reasonable. This place actually met my expectations, which has been rare lately. If you're in Palm Springs and looking for a good brunch spot, I'd definitely recommend FARM. I just wish I had found this place sooner!
