    Country fried steak with country potatoes!
    Jason B.

    Went to brunch at this place with family for the first time and the place was packed but we were able to get a table right away! The two different gentlemen that took our drink and food orders were really friendly and welcoming! The ambiance was casual and moderately loud due to how busy they were since they were packed for brunch! I ordered the chicken fried steak with country potatoes with shredded cheese on top! And man it was delicious and would definitely order it again and it's highly recommended! I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast or brunch and the overall experience was amazing!

    Homemade OJ & Bar!

    We came to the Palms for breakfast after day 1 of Coachella and it hit the spot! We were seated quickly despite it being super busy and the service was awesome. Everyone we interacted with was so nice. We ordered a ton of eggs, bacon, pancakes etc. The pancakes and OJ were the clear standouts but everything we had was good. This is a seriously good breakfast gem in Indio that you should definitely try!

    We have visited The Palms Cafe and several occasions, and the food and service have always been excellent. The interior space is large, clean, and there are also tables available outside. Counter service is available as well. I also appreciate the fact that the bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. Upon being seated, it is common for an employee to immediately ask for your drink order. On two occasions, the person seating us asked us for our drink order while walking us to the table. Regarding the food, it actually tastes good. It's not just filler breakfast food. The eggs are great as are the hash browns and French toast. Each table is equipped with all the necessary condiments, and the bottles and salt and pepper shakers are clean. Regarding the service, as indicated above, it is exceptional!

    Excellent for breakfast. One of our favorite places. Sane staff over the years says a lot about a place too.

    My waffles were delish, but they could use a better branded syrup. Coffee was a big disappointment . Next time I'll pass or bring my own cup of coffee. My bacon was more fat than meat. Next time I'll swap for sausage. The hubbys chicken fried steak was delish. Friendly staff. Got busy real quick. I'll be returning.

    Chilaquiles Breakfast
    Jessica G.

    Got asked it being seated outside was fine, as it was pretty packed. It was a chilly morning but they had heaters, which didn't end up being an issue. I highly recommend the banana walnut pancake! I got it as a side to share with my husband but ended up eating most of it. We ordered the chilaquiles and the new york steak and eggs, which were both filling. The espresso martini was a bit creamy, which I would have personally loved a bolder espresso kick.

    A tailored breakfast order on the healthy side

    Anyone in the area just has to go. This is the best place for breakfast. No need to discuss anything ...just the best all around

    Dinner Menu

    We always come here for Brunch. Saw today that they are now open for Dinner. Headed in and tried the new dinner menu. We had the Pasta Pomodoro and Chicken Parmigiana. Wonderful! La Quinta needs another dinner spot. Will come back and try the other new Dinner items.

    We came Sunday morning! Got seated right away for a table of 5, the service was amazing. Constantly getting our drinks refilled, staff works amazing together. And the food was so good. 5/5 experience for me it checked all the boxes I look for when I go to a restaurant! Cute little restaurant in the corner.

    Blueberry pancake with sausage patty.
    Drake L.

    Good food. Good Service. My wife and I ordered the blueberry pancakes with sausage and the ham and cheese omelette. Both were good. Standard breakfast fare.

    front entrance, pet friendly,, side patio

    A very yummy nice place,, machacha large plate enough for 2 portions, ice tea quality, service excellent, and ASK some things on a secret menu like avocado toast..... fresh squeezed OJ... reasonable pricing.

    Everything was great, food and service. However they sat me and my 3 year old toddler at a booth and directly behind were hot coffee pots that I didn't see or was made aware of. My son ended up getting 2nd degree burns on his fingers. I paid and still tipped nicely and rushed home to take care of him because I was in shock and confused how they would put that there. It took me 5 minutes to figure out why he was in pain because no one thinks their child will get burned while trying to enjoy breakfast. His left dominant fingers were burned as well as his right fingers but thankfully those were only lightly burned. I came back a few days later asking for a refund because it ruined our whole day and caused my son to feel very uncomfortable. They said the manager was out of town so I gave him my info and they never got back to me because I did ask for a refund for the inconvenience but nobody ever got back to me so I'm writing this review to warn other families to be aware of where they sit at the restaurant. I saw other children's fingerprints all over the window at that table so it's a regular thing that they sit children there. They moved the pot when I when it first happened, but when I came back, it was in the same spot again. I'm a local and was a regular at both locations and I always speak very highly and tell everybody I know about this business because it's delicious and great service and I love all of the staff, but unfortunately I won't be going back there because they didn't make it right with me. I'll stick to the Rancho mirage location.

The whimsical atmosphere dances with charm, delicate pastries gleaming behind glass, the soft hum of conversation, and an elegance that somehow feels both refined and warmly inviting. The table service is nothing short of exceptional, with staff who make each guest feel like an honored friend lingering over brunch in a French countryside café. Every dish arrives beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor, from buttery pastries to savory delights that comfort the soul and delight the senses. And one delicious secret worth savoring; do not leave without trying the homemade raspberry confiture. Its rich, bright sweetness paired with fresh bread or pastries is pure magic the kind of taste that lingers long after the last bite and calls you back again soon.

They are almost always busy, but the multiple ways they make each guest feel invited and welcome are impressive. The maître d' is simply exceptional. She doesn't just seat and then retreat behind a stand - she is on top of every aspect of service. The complimentary infused water is always welcome. The counter staff is responsive almost to the point of being psychic. This next sentence may cause the owners pause, but I recommend over-doing it on the pastries - way overdo it! Buy you and your guests more than you can possibly finish. Get some for your neighbors and friends. (And if you are still craving those eggs - they have some surprisingly low priced options hidden in the menu. Great stop! Roger Medanich
