Tuna on Squaw bread... soooo fresh and delicious
Debbie B.

Where do I start? Soooo delicious!!! My daughter found you on TikTok, and everything looked delicious. We couldn't wait to give you a try. I walked into your sandwich shop, and it was so cozy and cute! Nice seating inside and out. I was greeted right away; however, I needed a little time to peruse your menu. So many wonderful choices. We went with the Roast Beef Dip special and the Tuna on Squaw bread. I took the food to go. It smelled so good in the car ride home. These pics I will be sharing don't do the sandwiches justice. We could barely get the pictures taken, as we just couldn't wait to take a bite! Both sandwiches were AMAZING! I am so thrilled we found this big, little gem... Thank you, ladies!

#6 The Teddy, Yum
Patrick G.

Now I love an industrial complex restaurant. The sandwiches are tasty. Parking is tough but people keep coming in. No matter the time of day. Several people showed up at 10 minutes before closing. Worth a stop!

##14 House Chicken Salad
Allen L.

The Lunch Spot was frequently recommended by others so I was excited to try it. Staff were friendly. I ordered two sandwiches. The #14 The House,,and #11 Love the Club. I especially enjoyed the #14 The House. It's a house-made chicken salad with nuts and cranberries and comes with sprouts, tomato, mayo, salt and pepper on Squaw Bread. The cranberries adds a mild sweetness which balances out the mayo and the nuts adds another layer of crunchy texture and flavor which I loved. If I were to be honest, I wasn't too crazy about their bread. On both sandwiches, it was soft which was good, yet at the same time, just a bit stale. While the sandwiches initially seemed loaded, most of the ingredients are right in the middle of the sandwich where they slice it in half, so while it's very visually appealing, there's basically a ring near the crust of the bread that didn't have much toppings. As far as the Love The Club sandwich. I think they are a bit heavy handed with the salt. The sandwich was too salty. At $33 for two sandwiches, it's also a tad bit pricey. Overall good experience and will be back to try more !

Restaurant

Sandwiches were pretty good and decently priced. Decor wasn't my favorite but to each their own. Would return for a quick bite if in the area again

Spicy Avocado Salad
Hurnan V.

Came here for a quick lunch! The service was friendly and fast. We got the spicy avo salad which had the most delicious dressing, in addition to a good heaping of fresh veggies and alfalfa. The sandwich was "Daniel's best" which was also decadent and filling. The interior was cute and cozy, like an old timey deli. Would recommend for a quick bite! Free parking lot at the front!

Breakfast Options Until 11:00 and Sauce Options
Sara P.

We stopped by here for lunch and we are SO thankful we did. We found this fantastic spot by asking Chat GPT best lunch restaurants in the area. The vibe is casual and welcoming. We beat the lunch rush (got there a little before 12:00) and it just got busier and busier. You order at the counter and the guy that helped us was friendly and gave great suggestions. There were so many great options on their menu that we had a hard time deciding on what to order. Their special sold out right after we ordered which was a tri-tip sandwich. Normally on vacation we don't eat at the same place twice so we can try more places, but if we were to make an exception it would be for this place. My kids each got the grilled cheese sandwiches which they got to choose their chip option and it comes with a capri sun as well. I ended up deciding on the Ashlee's sandwich and it was very yummy. My hubby got the strawberry sunflower salad and added chicken. He really enjoyed his salad and found it filling too. Overall I highly recommend checking out this place for lunch when in the area.

Blueberry lemonade
Nisha C.

This place was AMAZING! My family and I were in town for a family wedding, and so we flew into PSP in the morning. After exploring the area in the morning, we wanted a late lunch before checking into our Airbnb in Palm desert. I stumbled upon this place in my search for some healthy food & we decided to try it. The inside seating is really small, but we got lucky and were able to find a table for 4. It's an order at the front & pick up type of spot. Since we were starving, we ordered with our stomachs: 1 strawberry sunflower salad without meat & nuts, 1 spicy avocado salad, 1 potato salad, 1 blueberry lemonade, and 1 CEO sandwich. Everything was OUTSTANDING!! The service down to the food. We loved it so much that we ordered the same meal 2 days later for lunch again. Absolutely recommend to anyone reading this review!

#4 Turkey Pesto
Martha L.

We were in the neighborhood and decided to stop in for an early lunch. The staff was friendly and courteous. The #4, Turkey Pesto is my favorite. Hubby loves tuna sandwiches and this was a great sandwich in his opinion . Whenever we are in Palm Desert this will be our sandwich place. Thanks!!

Special BLTA sandwich!
George G.

My colleague and I arrived around 2:00 p.m. today and decided to try this highly rated lunch spot. I ordered the special, a BLTA sandwich with chips and a drink for $15 which was an excellent value. The sandwich was good and fresh prepared quickly, and the service was efficient. The restaurant itself is small and located in an industrial area, but it's nicely decorated, quaint, and very clean. You place your order at the counter, and they call your name when it's ready. Overall, a pleasant experience and a great choice for a quick lunch.

Outside

Yelp you never disappoint! Thanks to the recommendations of my fellow Yelpers, we ventured out of our usual delis and found The Lunch Spot. Don't let its industrial location keep you from coming to this casual, family owned deli, because you will miss out on the "bougiest" sandwiches, soups and salads in town! We were here on 11/1/25 and split the chicken and veggie soup, Strawberry w/Blueberry salad and the Hottie chicken Sandwich. The soup was hearty with lots of shredded chicken and veggies. I would love a bowl of this any day! We ordered the strawberry and blueberry salad- with fresh greens, pecans, cranberries, red onion feta cheese and a balsamic dressing. This was amazing, fresh, and an excellent accomplishment to the sandwhich. Speaking of the sandwhich- I think this just may be one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! We ordered and shared "The Hottie" and you can think of it as the spicy version of your chicken salad sandwich. We had it on Squaw bread and it was maybe 2 inches thick thanks to the generous amount of chicken, alfalfa and avocado. If you like spicy and a bit of a kick- order this! The flavors, quality, freshness and uniqueness of their menu have earned The Lunch Spot my 5 stars! Can't wait to return.

Seasonal Berry Bliss salad while
Natasha W.

Wow! The Lunch Spot definitely had the feeling of being a local secret treasure since it is tucked in an industrial warehousing area. Don't let the location or size fool you, however. The front entrance is charming with its limited outdoor seating and sandwich board. Inside is quant and cozy. You'll order at the window and then find a seat. The food was super fresh! It was definitely representative of California fare. The service was incredibly helpful when it came to choosing the perfect meal. I finally settled on the seasonal Berry salad while my hubby chose the honey ham panini. We both washed it down with the blueberry lemonade. If you're in the Palm Desert area on vacation or just a round of golf, work this one into your schedule. You won't be disappointed.

Anna N.

Order pickup if you can instead of delivery so you can double check that they actually got your order right. My sandwich, The Hottie, is almost $20 and of course they left off one of the most expensive parts of the sandwich which is the layer of avocado... the bread is also advertised as a delicious sounding jalapeño bread but it just tasted like any type of bland bread. This is something you can make way better at home.

#22 Bruschetta Italiano
Olivia P.

Game here twice back to back and got the hot Italian sandwich aka the Bruschetta Italian. The staff is amazing and the food is so good. The bruschetta on the sandwich was chefs kiss!

Is it possible to switch out breads on Door Dash?

you'd have to try it through the app, if it gives you the option then yes. If no option then doubtful. Great bread there no matter, love this place.

Is gluten free bread available?

Yes, we offer gluten free bread.

The BEST vegan desserts in town !!…read more THIS is how vegan desserts should be done Located rt next door to Chef Tanya's kitchen It's so hard to find ones that actually taste good and aren't crazy sweet or falling apart... this place nails it. I got a chocolate vanilla twist and it was PERFECT. Not too much, not overly sweet, just right.

I was quite regular here for a while while my husband went through the vegetarian phase. I remember…read morethe food being a lot better. Today I paid $17 for a hippie sandwich. It has lettuce, cabbage, carrots. And some other kind of sweet white vegetable of some sort and cucumbers, and what they are trying to pass off as avocado lol. When somebody pays $17 for a sandwich, you expected to have a little flavor The bread was dry and falling apart with every bite. It taste tasted sour. I don't know if it's meant to be that way or if it's just because the bread is going bad I'm not sure.. The only flavor I got was some sort of spread that they put on, but I only got the flavor and probably three bites out of half of the sandwich at least if there were some pickled onions or some kind of seasoning or Italian dressing or something that would taste good but it really just taste like raw vegetables. I know that's what it is but again for 17 bucks at least put some seasoning on there so it tastes decentO It'll probably be a while before I come back as I don't live close and there's nothing pulling me here anymore Also, I sat at the ice cream counter for almost 5 minutes, waiting to be served so then I had to go wait on the other side and by that point I didn't even order an ice cream - I wasn't sure how much longer it would take...

SHORT ANSWER: yes, great Palm Springs foodie spot…read more LOCATION: very nice location, easy to park and get in and get out if you're picking up. FACILITY: nice clean facility with happy people working. MENU: lots of choices, easy menu to understand, choose your bread and cheese and order way. FOOD PREP: it is incredible. They make so many sandwiches here and they come out looking perfect, maybe the guy is a robot and we just don't know it. FOOD QUALITY: I've eaten here many times, always to good nothing unique other than consistent and good. Even on the go these are fresh, not smashed or soggy. WAITSTAFF: as a franchise, it is never easy to get and keep great people, but here they seem to keep their happy people around, even on the slower season. OVERALL VALUE: It is expensive for a sandwich and that is the cost. Fast food is what ridiculously expensive. This is real food, made fresh so a GREAT VALUE. 22) The Klaus $14.75, Pastrami, Sauerkraut, 1000 Island Dressing & Swiss Cheese TIP: Go online and peruse the menu, commit to a game plan, order away... then go enjoy.

La Provence Patisserie & Cafe, California -- Disappointing Service…read moreI was very disappointed with the service at La Provence Patisserie & Cafe. I ordered Eggs Benedict, which the menu listed with a salad, and saw that adding potatoes cost an extra $2. Nowhere did the menu clearly state that this was an upgrade that would replace the salad. I specifically told the cashier I wanted both the salad and potatoes, but nobody explained otherwise. When my order arrived without the salad, I asked about it. Instead of politely acknowledging the misunderstanding and resolving the issue, the employee argued with me and my husband for several minutes. About 10 minutes later, she finally brought the salad to the table and said, "Here's your salad, since you wanted it so badly." This attitude was completely unprofessional. We paid around $60 for breakfast, expecting a pleasant experience. Instead, poor communication and unnecessary arguing ruined our morning. A simple apology and a little courtesy would have resolved everything. Unfortunately, the issue wasn't the salad itself, but the way we were treated. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected much better customer service. I left very dissatisfied and would hesitate to return.
