    Average experience. Our server was so friendly, and it's such a cute place, but the food was disappointing. I hardly ever order pancakes or waffles, but I opted for a Belgian waffle with strawberries and bacon on the side. The waffle was oily and had a weird flavor. I was expecting a thick, fluffy waffle. The strawberries were ok, bacon was good. The fries were really good, but that's to be expected at a diner-type establishment, in my opinion. My husband said his tuna sandwich was ok. For the price, I would not return.

    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!

    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!

    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!

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

    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

    Chilaquiles Breakfast

    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.

    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.

    Amazing Breakfest and now amazing dinners available with happy hour definitely delicious

    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.

    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.

    Blueberry pancake with sausage patty.

Don't ever go there. Just kidding, sorry Cups -- but seriously, this place is OFF THE CHARTS! I had the Ahi Salad, Lox Benedict, French Toast, Cups Omelet, and the Divorced Eggs, and every single dish was incredibly pleasing to the mouth. My mouth is watering just thinking about each one. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. And the iced coffee deserves its own shout-out. They even had coffee ice cubes so your drink doesn't get watered down. Genius -- and really, really good! The staff was super attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. I hope they pool the tips together because every single person earns their keep. And speaking of that -- don't forget to tip the cooks, too! The food coming out of that kitchen deserves some love. Cups Cafe, you nailed it.

The only thing that lacked were the zucchini pancakes. They were extremely sour, and not in good way. Also very, dense and gummy. Otherwise everything else was great. We will stop here sometime soon, and again on our AZ-CA CA-AZ adventures.

Since the first time we have visited this place a few times and have even invited our family over to try it out. There is indoor and outdoor seating. You order inside and they give you this number where you take to your table and they will bring the food out to you. There is also napkins, and water inside for you to grab for yourself. As for the food, I am someone that loves trying different things in hopes I find something I really like, so far I have really enjoyed their cheese danish and butter croissant. I have yet to find my favorite dish from here as I was not a big fan of the chicken and waffles as the oil or sauce from the chicken spread under my waffles & sort of had this weird after taste that I didn't enjoy much. The breakfast burrito was huge and just okay I think if I would customize it a bit I would love it more and the chicken pesto sandwich so far has been something that I enjoyed a bit. Just personal experience as I've seen so many other really love those items. When I find my favorite meals I will come back and update. I do like to note that my boyfriend on the other hand has stayed loyal to their BLT + egg sandwich since our first visit and recommends me to try it so maybe that will be next on my list when I visit again. Their matcha is also okay, the notes are leaning vegetal and I just prefer a more nutty savory matcha. The strawberry syrup they add is pretty good. Wouldn't get it again though.

So naturally, we came into this location expecting the same kind of experience, and unfortunately...it was like night and day. First, I will say the service was amazing. Everyone was super friendly, our servers were great, and the manager was really cool and took the time to talk with me and explain how they do things. Honestly, the service is what saved this review and brought it up to three stars. The food, though... It was just not good. Everything looked kind of meh when it came out (as you can see in the pictures), and the flavor matched. I can't even remember exactly what we ordered but I remember my husband and I looking at each other like, "Wait...is this the same chain?!" It was such a completely different experience from the Broken Yolk we had in Vegas. Even the atmosphere felt different. The music was good, but instead of that fun, brunchy vibe we were expecting, this location felt much more like a traditional diner. And then there was my Bloody Mary flight. I specifically ordered it again because the one we had at the other location was SOOO good. This one was just...not. I don't know if they use a different mix at each location or make their own, but whatever the difference was, it was noticeable. I really wanted to love this place because our first Broken Yolk experience was so good, but unfortunately the food here was just really disappointing. If I were rating on food alone, I'd honestly probably give it two stars, but the service was genuinely great, so I'm being generous with three. Great people and great service, just wish the food matched!
