i usually dont expect properly dialed in coffee but this place was excellent. latte had a bit more foam than i would like, but the iced americano was nicely bitter without being overbearing. pan au chocolat was also good. friendly and casual atmosphere. read more

Contrary to the name, a pretty casual eatery. An extensive menu with a lot of options. Items can be hit or miss where the plain breakfast plate wasn't anything too amazing. The curry chicken panini was pretty tasty and the side order of crossiant was warm and fresh. Coffee beverages came in playful mugs and were just okay. read more

I ordered the wrong item so this truly is a good review haha! The croque monsier was very tasty and came out pipping hot. For the fresh ingredients I feel like the price point wasn't bad at all, this was also my first time trying it! The staff were super nice and attentive. The place was cute and the chef was exactly who you'd imagine in a French cafe! I will say it was extremely hot and stuffy inside, it's probably better to sit outside. Great spot! read more

I'm surprised I haven't written a review for L'Atelier cos I've been here for brunch every time I'm in Palm Springs. The place is small and parking isn't that easy (especially on weekends), so definitely come early. They also sell out of pastries and sweets/desserts pretty quickly, so early is key if you want the full selection. My faves: the ham or salmon croissant, the fruit tarts, and the quiche. Price wise it's similar to LA. Owner & staff were friendly but food did take a while to arrive as it was a full house. read more

L'attalier is a gem of a spot that hasn't disappointed since I started coming when I was visiting. The toasted baguette is my favorite thing!

L'Atelier Café serves some of the best French food in Palm Springs--the French Onion Soup is world-class and the Eggs Benedict was a hit! The service wasn't quite as impressive as the meal itself, feeling a bit detached, but the flavors coming out of the kitchen more than made up for it. A great 2025 stop for a delicious, high-quality brunch. read more

Brunch was so tasty and filling. We were recommended the platters or benedicts, so my partner got the Mixed Platter and I got the Salmon Benedict. We also loved the ratatouille, a vegetable stew. Everything tasted fresh and we were very satisfied. Parking can be challenging as the lot is small (we walked from our hotel this time). Service was friendly and as we were walking out the chef or owner handed us a madeleine on the house to finish the meal. read more

TL:DR don't listen to Simon A., this place is delicious, and the staff are so friendly! Highly recommend We came here for brunch, and I'm so glad we did. The food was delicious and everything was so reasonably priced. We were a party of 4. All of us ordered a drink and a main dish (2 of us having an extra side) and we paid roughly $80. The pain au chocolat was delicious and was definitely baked that morning. I also ordered the prosciutto panini and it was served with a side salad. It was absolutely delicious. I also had it with a hot chocolate and that was so yummy! The owners were working as the wait staff and it was so endearing that they came over to ask if everything turned out well, and it absolutely was. read more

1.5/5 stars Came here for brunch on a Sunday, and we didn't have to wait. I got the salmon benedict croissant ($17), and my bf got the workshop eggs and a croissant. Unfortunately, the salmon benedict croissant was horrendous. The poached eggs were grainy. The croissant was tasteless and soggy. The salmon was solid, but the pieces were small. The side salad was very small. I tried my boyfriend's workshop eggs, and I thought that was good The inside ambiance is cute, but old-looking. The chairs were run-down. The water glass given to me was very old, and the edges were jagged. Service was very quick. If you pay with credit card, there's a $1 charge. Overall, would not recommend eating here read more

This place is such a gem! We had the salmon quiche, the mixed platter, and the pear almond tart. The french toast was the best I've ever had. The platter came with a lot of food and was a great deal for the price. The quiche was fluffy and perfection. AND THE TART! Perfect crust, perfect filling. The coffee was good. The service was great, and the area is really cute and picturesque! I would come back next time we are in Palm Springs. Definitely worth the stop! read more

If I could only have one ham and cheese croissant it would, HANDS DOWN, be from this place. My friends and I did a lil golf trip and we had planned to eat at this place before our 1p tee time. We got here around 10:30am and were seated right away. Since it was our first time two of us got their breakfast sampler and our other two friends got a chicken curry panini and a ham and cheese croissant. This place was so good we came on Sunday morning before our checking out of our airbnb. We got there at 7:25a and were the first ones seated at 7:30a. Luckily we came when we did because it filled up QUICK. Food came out quickly and was delicious. Definitely add this on your brunch places if you visit Palm Springs! read more

This authentic French café offers a cozy covered patio for a delightful brunch. I have come here many times with friends and family and the place just exudes joy and charm. It is a smaller restaurant so it's better suited for an experience for a party 2-4. Anything that comes on a croissant or has their bechamel or ham will win you over. Their quiche offerings are so luscious and creamy with a buttery crust- the slices are also quite large! TheirFrench coffee or Americano are bold and fresh, but go for a double Americano if you want some extra punch! Whether you prefer sweet or savory, the menu is perfect for whichever side brunch you are on. The Croque Madame hits all the right notes and they even have fresh made beignets with decadent jam YUM. Try a side of their potato gratin instead of regular potatoes and you (and whoever is eyeing them and requesting a bite) will thank you! They are velvety and warm- coated in the bechamel before being baked to perfection. Bon appetite! read more

Palm Springs is great for restaurants and chill vibes and L'Atelier fits the bill. Sit outside for a nice relaxed dining experience. My fiancé and I opted to share a croissant smoked salmon benedict and a quiche lorraine combo with apple cake. The salmon benedict was ever so subtly delicious with the mix of salmon, croissant, eggs, and hollandaise sauce. Nothing overpowered one over the other. The quiche lorraine though? Perfection. Absolute perfection. The eggs were fluffiest of fluffy. I burned my mouth but it was totally worth it. The eggs, jamon, and crust was just bursting with flavor that doesn't overpower you. To top it all off, the apple cake was not too sweet but just right, so this paired quite nicely with a cappuccino. Overall, this was an amazing brunch that's worth checking out when you're in Palm Springs amidst the other 5 restaurants in the plaza. read more

Cozy little French café, right in the heart of downtown Palm Springs inside you feel like you're actually in Paris. They have a nice menu with an installment of French style food. Ready to hang out for breakfast and lunch. We tried ratatouille and quiche. The ratatouille was perfect not too much salt. The quiche Lorraine was extra creamy. Our server was really good read more

This is a great little French restaurant. It's very busy in the morning before the heat so get there early. There is limited space inside but there is outdoor space too. The quiche is very popular - almost every table orders it. It's delicious- thick but soft and very fluffy. The crepes are delicious and authentic. The pastries are delicious - especially the raspberry beignets. What I like about this place are the owners who are very personal- they care about their customers and often come and speak with their patrons to make sure everything is to their satisfaction - you can tell people that come often come back and know the owners. This feels like an authentic French bistro. Highly recommend the restaurant. Nice family owned French restaurant not to be missed when in Palm Springs. read more

tl;dr: Overall, this place is casual, chill, and the food is delicious. We had a great experience here on Easter morning. Food is amazing. We got escargot, a salmon Benedict croissant, and a chicken crepe with mushroom. Escargot is tender, with the garlic butter it goes really well with the baguette. I've had escargot dishes across many fine dining establishments, and the dish here is also top notch. Salmon croissant has a great balance and is simply satisfying to eat. I ordered the Crepe Supreme. Generally, I'm not a big cheese lover but the cheese on this crepe is cooked very nicely and I enjoy it. The portion is pretty big too. I could've just stopped at the first piece, but couldn't help but finishing the whole thing because it is so good. I only have nice things to say about the service here because everyone is warm and friendly. Pacing is great and my coffee gets refilled promptly. It feels chill and relaxing, and no one bothers us with weird timing check-ins when we have food in our mouth. Our total comes out to $70 for 2 people. It's pretty cheap comparing to what we normally have in LA. read more

Fees! Nickel and Dimey! PS local here. Just advising anyone, this establishment currently charges $.75 for basic cream in your coffee and an additional $1.00 for using a card of any kind. They don't tell you any of this. It just appears on your receipt. The coffee was decent and the pastry was average at best. Never going back and will advise anyone coming to visit of how they operate. read more

L'atelier is nestled in a nice plaza off of downtown Palm Springs. We came for a quick breakfast and my gosh this place did not disappoint! We were seated quite promptly and our servers immediately came to take our order. We all ordered coffees and pastries (chocolate, regular, almond) and they were astounding. I was floored by how delicious the almond croissant with. They warm the croissant up in the middle and slice it in half to spread it with the most delicious almond filling. The warm croissant and the delicious almond mixture drooling just thinking about it. By far one of the best almond croissants I've ever had. read more

Food: initially came here with my college/work friend because my boss had recommended this place for brunch/lunch specifically. He was not wrong haha, we definitely enjoyed the food here, croque madame was cheesy, savory, and buttery, while french toast assorted plate let us taste all the delicious pieces of various menu. My boss did say the apple pie was especially good, so willing to come back for that next time! Price: every dish averages around $15, sometimes a little less to $13 and sometimes a little more to $18, but all reasonable prices and not too expensive Ambiance: small french bakery/cafe vibe, which we loved, not too many tables inside, but we had no trouble finding a spot on a weekday lunch time, great place to get food and catch up with friends Service: no issues with getting our food and water served, people seemed to be friendly Parking: there were a few rows of parking outside, we had no trouble finding a spot close by since it was a weekday read more

My husband and I had breakfast here on 9/3/26 and everything was excellent! It was hard to decide what to order because everything sounded good, but we ended up ordering the croque madame, the salmon quiche, and the strawberry chantilly crepe and loved every bite. We also appreciated that the orange juice was fresh squeezed! Everyone who worked there was friendly and helpful and it was an overall lovely experience and we can't wait to go back! My only problem is that because everything we got was so delicious, I will be tempted to order the same things again the next time but I will also want to try new things, we we'll likely just order more things and then have too much food lol. That's a good problem to have! read more

While we were at Coachella, we were looking for a place to get brunch around Palm Spring to fuel us for the long day ahead. One of the places that was recommended online near our hotel was L'Atelier Cafe, and as a fan of French cuisine I was interested in checking it out. The inside is on the smaller side with just a few tables, but thankfully we didn't have to wait too long before we got seated. For my dish I decided to get the Plateau de Fromage, which comes with cheeses like Brie, Gruyere, and Fourme d'Ambert alongside some fig preserve and baguette bread. I also decided to add some pate, prosciutto, and Jambon Paris for some meat in the platter. This was a great meal for me, since I'm a big fan of charcuterie boards and this dish offers a lot of variety in the ingredients to try. The food was also very fresh with pretty good portions so I think that it was worth the price. Overall, if you're a fan of French cuisine then this is a good place to check out! read more

L'Atelier Cafe - Plateau de Fromage with add-ons - French Near Me - Palm Springs, California

It's somewhat sad and comical this food quality gets 4.6-star rating. Perhaps this serves the notion of how far the food scenes in Palm Springs had fallen. I had a "French toast" and it was safe to say the only thing "French" was the name. Two thin slices of supe market sandwich bread, barely any egg visible, drenched in cheap waterly sugar solution not even qualified as "maple syrup"... how sad. Service was good enough to not stand out as "bad" but nothing to complain about. Yesh Palm Springs isn't what my memory from 20 years ago anymore. Shrug. Neither is the world. Maybe we should just suck ot up and adapt. read more

Small restaurant but so delicious! A must try if you are at Palm Springs, all of us loved their food.
