    Huevos

    Quick, good menu. The Huevos could use less salsa but otherwise good The inside has the coolest booths

    Buttermilk Pancake

    This is a must visit spot in Palm Springs. Every meal has been delicious, consistent and served up with warmth and hospitality! Their menu has everything to satisfy anyone's cravings. This non assuming coffee shop has a nice clean decor with neat picture booths. There's plenty of parking, so come on by and enjoy a meal

    Chocolate chip pancake

    We have been eating breakfast here for the last 5 years. Service is fantastic, food is delicious & the cc pancake is by far the best I ever had.

    Menu cover as of our 2/17/25 visit.

    Not much new to report. We stopped in again for a late breakfast and still felt that the food was only okay (more seasoning needed) and the service was a little inefficient. I will say that the place was packed and most patrons we spoke with while waiting, love it. FOOD: We tried a simple 2 Eggs & Bacon and pancake breakfast ($15.45), as well as the Chili Cheese Omelet with biscuit & gravy ($18). My omelet was tasty, but the hash browns lacked a little salt, and the biscuits and gravy also needed something...both the sausage gravy and biscuit were "pasty" and a little bland. The eggs were supposed to be over easy, and they were well beyond (see picture). The 50's diner décor is cool and there's a nice outdoor patio, when it's not too hot out. Overall, we still thought the food was average, but it's always packed, so go figure. NOTE: The restrooms are located outside the restaurant, within an adjoining antiques mall. It's a little bit of a tricky trek to get there, especially for older customers.

    Great patio and views. Great service Excellent tuna melt. Bathrooms are in the zombie mall that's attached.

    Delicious, chili, cheese, omelette!

    Looks like they took out the cinnamon in the food now, so that is good. The chili cheese omelette is still the bomb, and the county Benedict was just ok. Knock off one star for the high prices, breakfast just shouldn't cost over $20 a plate at a cafe.

    Vegetable Quesadilla
    Monty D.

    We came here on a lazy holiday Monday, mid-morning. While we were in a lazy mood, the staff was a hustling bunch. This restaurant is unpretentious - simple and straight-forward. They are a breakfast and lunch-time operation which makes their patio perfect for their opening hours. As we ate our brunch, I could tell this was a locals' favorite. Even though the staff was quick and efficient, they had plenty of time to be personable and friendly. We shared the Vegetable Quesadilla, see my pic. What you are seeing is mostly the tortilla: is was good and held up to the steam from the veggies. The side of salsa was very mild, a bit of lingering heat and had a moderate amount of flavor. The scoop of guac was mashed a fair amount, was reasonably fresh and was mildly flavored. What you aren't seeing are the veggies and cheese inside which the Palms has the right ratio. The cheese had a higher fat content so is smooth and creamy, while the veggies still had a bit crunch. It was a fairly decent snack for mid-morning.

    BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad
    Lah R.

    This place is a local favorite! Good food, large portions and great service. Because it is such a local favorite - literally, people waiting to get in all the time - the ambiance is energetic and it can be quite loud, or at least it was on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Food: We were a party of three, two ordered the BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad, and one ordered the Cobb - portions were large and filling. Service: Elizabeth, our server, Anna our hostess, and Miguel the bus staff, ensured we were satisfied and were very welcoming despite being very busy due to the popularity of the cafe. Ruben walked by and even offered to take a photo. Parking: There is free parking lot in front of the cafe. If you are looking for good food, large portions, great service, and a taste of the local vibe in a casual yet energetic environment, then you should try this cafe when you are in Rancho Mirage!

    yes. for sure outside they are very accomodating for pets. inside I think so to, but call to confirm.

    Do they still do the bottomless mimosas?

    Last time I was there for breakfast, there was no bottomless mimosa. It was 2 for $5, I think.

    Do they serve alcohol with brunch?

    Yes champagne and they are getting a full bar.

    Does this place have a wait in the morning?

    Almost never!

The rooms are slightly dated. Not disastrous. Not horror story energy. Just giving we have seen a few seasons. You can tell the property wants a little refresh in some spots. Very White Lotus if White Lotus had a more budget-conscious cousin. The pool was clean though, and that goes a long way. Especially when you are at a family-friendly place and one bad pool moment can ruin the whole trip. The bowling alley and games for kids were honestly a strong save. That part gives the property some real personality. It is the kind of setup that keeps children entertained and keeps adults from having to hear "what are we doing now" every eleven minutes. The staff was amazing. Warm. Helpful. On it. That was probably the best part of the stay. They gave the whole experience more polish than the building sometimes had on its own. Good staff can carry a property far, and they definitely did some heavy lifting here. The gym is really small, and it could use an update bad. A few newer machines and a little more space would make a huge difference. Right now it feels like an afterthought. Like they remembered fitness at the very end and said okay put two something somewhere and let God handle the rest. The bar and food were decent. Perfectly fine. Nobody at the table was offended. Nobody was composing love letters either. It was the kind of meal you eat, nod at, and then fully forget by the next afternoon. Not bad. Not brag-worthy. Just there. Overall, this is a great stay with some fun family-friendly perks, a clean pool, and great staff holding it all together. It is not luxury-luxury. It is more like resort-adjacent with good intentions and a few solid amenities. it's giving... Palm Springs spinoff energy with a Groupon and a great staff.

Instead, the experience became one of the most upsetting resort stays we've had. While actively swimming in the La Paloma pool with our children, a large amount of brown material suddenly blasted out of a pool jet directly in front of us and spread into the water. It genuinely looked like sewage or waste coming into the pool. We immediately got out along with other guests and attempted to get answers from staff, but no one could clearly explain what had happened or reassure us that the pool was safe. Because of that, we no longer felt comfortable using ANY of the resort pools for the rest of our stay -- which completely ruined the primary reason we booked this resort in the first place. We left extremely disappointed and honestly sad that our Mother's Day and anniversary trip turned into stress and discomfort instead of a relaxing family vacation. Three days later, I also became extremely sick, which only added to the concern surrounding the incident. Management later emailed us claiming it was "filter media sand" from a backwash issue and not waste. They waived our parking and resort fees, but considering we essentially lost use of the main amenity we paid to enjoy, that did not feel like an appropriate resolution. We respectfully reached out requesting either compensation for the room or the opportunity to return for a future stay so we could actually experience the resort the way we intended to. We never even received a response. For a resort at this price point and under the Westin/Marriott name, the handling of this situation and the lack of customer care afterward was incredibly disappointing.

It's on the corner of a little strip with a few other restaurants. Right next door to a Thai restaurant that I've been to before. There's parking in the back and along the side but if you don't mind walking a bit, there's a covered parking structure around the corner. There was already a line forming when we arrived sunday afternoon. Checked in with the hostess which whom she was the sweetest and very friendly. Put your name down and phone number and you'll get a text when the table was ready. They have a little seating area to the side where you could wait but we just ended up walking around till our table was ready. It was maybe 10,15 minutes wait when we got texted. The restaurant isn't that big with a small covered patio out front and some seating inside. There's a bar counter that I think you can sit as well which looks out to the kitchen. Menu was pretty impressive with brunch. Everything actually looked good on paper and even better when plates were being brought out. We started off with a bottle of the bubble and some juices. Found out that each juice added was 2.00. They should at least added a juice to it, but oh well. They did have some drinks deals which you should utilize. Brunch, the hangover omelette with 3 eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, mushrooms, bell peppers, Serrano topped with green onions, sour cream and cheddar cheese. Comes with a side of toast or English muffins and either tots, potatoes, salad or fruits. And the Florentine omelette, vegetarian. 3 eggs with spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, feta cheese and avocado. Also comes with sides of toast and potatoes. The meal was great. The table next to us had orders some dishes that we were thinking about and from the looks of it, it's a must next time. The food was great, service was excellent and the staff were all amazing and friendly. It's a place that I'll for sure be back again. Hours are limited so it's mainly breakfast and lunch.

I ordered the Complete savory crêpe and had I not been drinking so much water from the heat, I would have devoured this in one sitting. The side salad is a nice touch and balances out the heaviness of the egg and the ham. My coworker had the avocado toast and was overjoyed that it was very plentiful and well portioned. She also ordered a fresh grapefruit juice which she let me try and I found incredibly refreshing. This is by far one of my favorite breakfast places in California! Our server was busy with many tables and at one point we did have to ask for a refill on water. It also took a really long time to get our check after we had asked for it.
