My first time here and it was great. Of course it happened to be the same time stagecoach was going on. I've seen this place a couple of weeks ago but noticed that it's only open till 3. 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. read more

Brunch 101 definitely owns its name. Walked in and the owner greeted us right away--hospitality here is on another level. Food was great, portions were solid, and pricing was fair. Honestly, it stands out compared to most local brunch spots. Definitely coming back. read more

Pork Belly Hash - lots of flavorful pork chunks, not much fat as you'd think with pork belly Cinnamon French Toast - the crunch of it!!! Loved it. and enough berries to accompany your every bite. Iced Coffee - the coffee iced cubes are so considerate, this is where the restaurant's extra work pays off. Mimosa Flight - STRONG and pretty, decent. I would come back next time I visit Palm Springs! Only con is the location, it was hard to find for us. It's right by the intersection on the backside of Thai restaurant. So away from the big parking lot. read more

I was looking for a new brunch spot to try and was recommended Brunch 101. At first glance, the space felt pretty small, and I was worried it might get overcrowded. I went with my two sisters and my niece, and we were greeted and seated at a table near the entrance by the door facing the street. The overall look and vibe were a bit lacking for me. Our server was great--very attentive and friendly. As for the food, my sandwich was just okay, but the fries and the hibiscus mimosa were a solid 10/10. Overall, it was a decent experience, but probably a one-time visit for me. read more

The chilaquiles with steak were delicious. Just perfect, crunchy and not too spicy. The Cinnamon French toast, also delicious, with a slight crunch. The mimosa refill choice is perfect. 3 mimosas for $10 with delicious champagne. Indoor/Outdoor, petite seating. Seating was fast and we arrived around 10:30am, but I can see it getting busy. Great service. read more

Quite possibly my favorite breakfast restaurant in Cat City. The service is always on point. The eggs Benedict is amazing. The Hangiver omelette is awesome. My wife swears by the avocado toast. Try to get there by 10 that's when they fill up.. read more

Great, versatile menu. They have everything, and what we had was very good. The parking is a challenge with a decent walk to the entrance.

I can see this place being packed on the weekends! Thankfully I went on a Friday morning while all the suckers were at work! First off parking a little weird but worth it. The outside patio had some nice ambiance with the decor and on a coolish 70s winter morning it was perfect. We opted for an inside seat though because the road construction outside was a little noisy. The place was a 10/10 after they brought out the iced coffee with frozen coffee ice cubes! Let's go no dilution here! The menu was stacked with options to satisfy anyone's hunger, they were also incredible accommodating on requests making it spot on for everyone's delight. The food was delicious, the chorizo on the Benedict was packed full of flavor and wasn't just a sloppy mess of grease! Hands down I'll be back and after seeing the different nacho varieties coming out of the kitchen imma get me nachos next trip!! read more

When I come to Palm Springs, I want brunch. We came here on our second day and I had my second Benedict dish in a row. I got the smoked salmon toast that was like Eggs Benedict meets avocado toast with lox. Amazing. I ate it all. The mimosa flight was great too, my favorite was the mango pineapple. Service was great too, and sitting outside was lovely. read more

So glad we waited. Food was amazing. I had the smashed avo Benedict and added bacon. So good. And the guava and bubbles was really good. My husband had the hangover omelet and said it was really good mine was too good to waste space to try his. I also had the house made salsa on mine which put it over the top. We got the mimosa flight but that wasn't a hit. Our friend also got the breakfast burger he said was really good. Highly recommend!!! The lavender mimosa tasted like bath soap so I wouldn't recommend that unless that's your thing. Would definitely recommend and go back!! read more

The service, food and Ambiance were perfect! We live in Cathedral City and as locals we are so grateful for this yummy place!!

We always enjoy the food. Everything we've tried on this menu is delicious. read more

Im drop to a 3 star from a 5 star...the reason..I tried SOMETHING different than the Florentine benedict which is GREAT...my choice today was the Criossant club ..omg it fell apart the meat was tasteless and the croissant crumbled...literally fell apart ..like I had to eat with a knife and fork....please go the extra mile and buy REAL French croissants...this was awful ..and the side of tots...completely like out of a box of store brand frozen tots...zero flavor...im super disappointed spending $20 on tasteless bland 'brunch'.... read more

Decided to give this place a try for brunch before heading back to LA and we enjoyed it. The inside is a little small but they also have outside seating to accommodate. It would just suck if it was cold outside. We orderee the Breakfast Sandy, Biscuits & Gravy Sliders, and Packcakes with Bacon. The Breakfast Sandy was pretty good and the tator tots they serve with it are seasoned really well. The Biscuits & Gravy Sliders were good but I think the gravy can use a little more seasoning and the bacon jam would be a hit inside of the slider, rather than on the side. The pancakes were fluffy and tasted pretty good. Would definitely recommend this place and will come back for future Palm Springs visits. One of the cool things about this place is you can sometimes see the owns there helping with the workload, serving and taking care of customers. read more

Came across this gem upon checking out of our resort for the Memorial Day weekend. Parking was a little confusing; however, there was some street parking available as well as some spots on the other side in what appeared to be a small strip mall. There was a wait for inside seating; however, we opted to dine on the patio. Our server was the owner himself (Oscar) & he was amazing! I ended up ordering the chicken and waffles (so delish and homemade) and BFF ordered a more traditional breakfast (cannot remember) with home fries. Prices are about on par with other local establishments. Definitely a must try when in the area and I will definitely be back! read more

Found this place on our drive back from Indian Wells and decided to stop by for a bite. It has a nice, casual brunchy vibe with a solid selection of classic brunch fare -- sweet dishes, egg-based plates, and a few sandwich/lunch options. I went with the chilaquiles. The portion was generous and definitely didn't break the bank. That said, the chip-to-topping ratio was a bit off -- I found myself with a pile of chips at the end and would've loved a bit more egg and maybe some avocado to round it out. The onions were slightly undercooked for my taste, but the red sauce, cotija cheese, and pickled onions were all flavorful and tasty. My sister ordered the omelette, which I only took a bite of, but it tasted decent overall. The crispy potatoes on the side were a standout -- golden, well-seasoned, and satisfying. Definitely ask for their hot sauce or tomatillo sauce on the side; both elevate the dish nicely. The service was friendly and attentive, which added to the overall positive experience. A solid, affordable brunch spot if you're passing through. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday, the wait wasn't so bad, only about 10-15min. We were seated in the patio, it felt fresh because of the water mist but I didn't like how it would all come down on the drinks/food.. does this not bother anyone else? Idk, I'm a germaphobe. Service was 9/10 My daughter got the breakfast croissant and that was a 9/10 My son got the breakfast burger and he liked it 10/10 My brother got the French toast, 10/10 I got the chilaquiles and that was a 3/10, I have to remind myself to always ask what time of sauce/chile they use for the chilaquiles. Authentic red chilaquiles use red guajillo chiles. These chilaquiles had salsa, not the authentic red sauce. I do not like the salsa ones!!! The plate was huge, enough to feed 3 people. My boyfriend got the Bloody Mary and did not like it, 3/10. Also got the steak and eggs and he did enjoy that. Not sure I will be back when I'm in the area again. read more

I didn't think I would like this place as much as I did. We were in the mood for brunch and when you Google brunch in Palm Springs this came up first. We sat at the counter watching the chefs do their work and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious and service was great too. Didn't have to wait too long for the table/counter either. I'd come back and actually request the counter again. read more

It was Memorial Day and busy but we got seated when promised. We shared a flight of mimosas, my favorite was the lavender. He had the brioche burger and it was delicious, prepared perfectly with all the accoutrements. I ordered the Smoked Salmon toast and it was divine. The service was perfect, professional and warm. The ambiance is always nice, casual and comfortable! Highly recommend Brunch 101. I know I'll keep coming back! read more

Brunch is in session! Welcome to Brunch 101 a full course exploration of all things b(reakfast) added to l(unch) equals, "The socially acceptable excuse for morning drinking." We popped in during Cathedral City pride weekend (every March) for our first meal of the day. We had about a 15 minute wait after putting our names down. They have a makeshift entrance patio area with lots of cool outdoor style furniture along with their hour and menu posted on the wooden fence door just before the start of their outdoor seating area. We ran into some of my boyfriend's friends while waiting and funny enough we ended up with their exact table once they finished their meal. Having one of the few tall tables outside was pretty nice as the outdoor seating is spacious and feels abundant. The indoor seating is nice as well though very limited, including in their bar area, but they make it work and you definitely will want to enjoy the B101 experience. Our server (I believe Oscar) was really attentive, like a one man show! He got our orders in, kept our glasses full and was very all brunch business from start to finish. We had the Smash Avo Benny with a side of fruit for him and the Soyrizo & Potato Tacos with a side salad for me to start. The food is so rich and flavorful... Like I couldn't believe the taste of delicious blends on my palate. We loved every bite and were still craving a bit more, so we split an order of Almond (pan)cakes. Ten out of ten for sure! The cool thing about Brunch 101 besides Brunch 101 is the abundance of vegetarian and vegan friendly options, clearly marked on their menu. They clearly are a master of all types of dishes for all brunchers. Drinks are plentiful from spiked things (Bloody Marys + Irish Coffees), to bubbles/sparkling to mocktails, juices, misomas (including flights), to hot coffees, teas, brews, beers, seltzers and all sorts of beveragings. It's family friendly, couple friendly, friend group friendly, date friendly, pup friendly, you friendly and even Wi-Fi friendly. Open to all with gender neutral bathrooms and shared parking at the Cathedral City Town Square/Center plaza near cool things like the Mary Pickford is D Place theater, The Roost Lounge and Monster Shakes to name a few. Open 9am to 3pm on weekends and 9am until 2pm on weekdays, at the corner of Monty Hall Drive/(East) Palm Canyon Drive. Make this Coachella Valley and Cathedral City favorite the most important experience of the day ;) read more

My wife and I had the chance to dine here on our final full day vacationing in Palm Springs for Spring Break. Our waiter Oscar was nice and very attentive. He immediately serviced us, met our drink and food needs. When I had an issue with my food, he met that with a smile and corrected the issue with no complaints. We enjoyed our brunch. My wife had the Hangover Omelet and potatoes (She loved it) and I had the Steak and eggs with a side of bacon (I decided to remove the steak due to it being overcooked), but everything else was good. They make their own strawberry jam and I believe they make their salad dressing. If they don't, it was most certainly delicious wherever they buy it from. My wife had the frozen mango margarita and I had the guava and champagne drink. Both equally good. We both reccomend this spot. read more

Very good service. It was no wait for Saturday brunch but there were plenty of people there. The guava mocktail was delicious and so was the eggs Benedict (avocado and bell pepper). My only qualm was the potatoes. I thought they be breakfast potatoes since they were made with green pepper but they were stingy with the green peppers so the potatoes were really fries. I would pass on them. And get something else. They really should include hash browns. read more

Food was tasty as I'm always looking for different variations of Eggs Benedict which I found here. Decent portions for the price as well. Only thing lacking for taste was the coffee. Watered down. Unfortunately we had to send back the first cup of coffee as that's lipstick served on the cup that we didn't order. Enough that we were surprised it wasn't noticed. And the water glass had things stuck in it as well. So maybe there's something wrong with their dishwasher. read more

First time coming to this brunch spot. I was excited coming here after looking at all the reviews on yelp. I took my sister out to treat her for brunch. We asked to be seated outside and were given a two seat high top. I asked nicely to the host, if I may have the other two tables available that were four seats. She commented if I wanted to be seated inside and I asked nicely no that I would prefer outside. She commented of holding the four seat table for another guest and would check in with her manager and shortly after we were seated in the table at the back. We were seated for 10-15 minutes without anyone asking us for beverages and/or checking in on us. During our time waiting, we've seen two customer couples being checked on regularly each time ignoring us and giving their back to us. This happened 3 separate instances during our time waiting with only water that was given right when we entered. The manager came and asked if we have been helped and we said, "No". He shocked his head in disbelief and assisted us in taking our beverage and food order. I still had no idea who our waiter/waitress was till after receiving our meal from another staff. We had to ask the waitress, tan skin with green-brown eyes mid-age woman for more coffee. Because each time she would come to our section, she would check in and ask the customers around us if they needed anything but continued to act as if we weren't there and walked away without asking or check in on us. Towards the ends when we were on our first champagne (special $10 with a mimosa and two extra refills), she then had the audacity to use the incorrect word verbiage of "you will be kicked out" due to the hour policy. That's when I knew my observation with how we were treated was valid in that she was only treating her customer around us (who were white) in giving them attention and my sister and I (Hispanic) ignoring us. I asked the manager as he approached the table if we were being kicked out and he said no and that we can stay there. Shortly after, the waitress returned and asked us what he had told us. My sister told the waitress that we weren't getting "kicked out" and she immediately retracted her statement. We told her we didn't mind moving to the bar to be mindful of other guests needing a table. The waitress made a snarky response of saying no and the bar was all full. So we stayed. Not even two minutes later, the host came and told us to move to the bar due to their being a waitlist (hence tables were still available) and all of a sudden there was room at the bar. Once inside, we enjoyed the last of our mimosa, and when it came down to pay, we waited 10-15 minutes for the waitress to take our tab, she never came. So we walked to the host to Pay. The host provided my tab to our waitress who rolled her eyes and sighed and made a comment of being "razzled". I looked at her and inquired what she was "razzled" about, and she made an excuse of there being a lot of people, but when I looked around at the restaurant I saw that it was a normal pace for a Sunday. I've not had this experience in my time visiting Palm Springs with friends and family. I was disappointed on the lack of customer service and disrespect from another human being from this waitress. I'm not one without leaving a tip when I go out to eat. I gave my tip to the staff member who was the most attentive and accommodating to my sister and I at our brunch stay, the bus boy. I appreciate the bus boy and manager who treated us kindly. the food was delicious and the mimos refill special was very nice. Sincerely, "Razzle Dazzle" read more

This place was solid. Great menu, very attentive service, delicious food, nice ambiance. We got the chilaquiles, Belgian waffle, and pork belly hash. All were incredible and very substantial portions. Norma was our server and she was awesome. Can't ask for more, really! Would definitely come back next time we're in the area! read more

We've definitely had way better. Our waitress appeared nice initially, but it greatly shifted immediately afterwards & made our experience unpleasant. Our pancakes were so dry that it broke apart & the syrup wasn't even enough to make them edible. The bacon was good except we had to scrape off all the peppercorn because otherwise it wasn't edible due to how spicey it was. Even their potatos were french fries cut in half & covered in Cajun seasoning. I'm sensitive to spicey so it wasn't good for me to have all that when the menu didn't even specify that. The coffe is so weak! It was like drinking water, but worse. Safe to say, we will not be returning here again. read more

Brunch 101 - Bloody Mary & Mimosa flight - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Enjoyed our first time at Brunch 101 except for the noise level as we were seated outside on their patio. Indoor seating is so limited and we didn't realize how much the noise would affect us. They obscure the view, so to speak, on Rt. 111 so it seems cozy but the traffic noise requires volume. Even our waiter had to stand next to one in our party who he couldn't hear as he took his order and we were at a table for four. The portions are a good size and the food is tasty. I had Spicy Chicken Sandwich with a delicious mix of slaw, melted cheese and Sriracha ranch that was sooo delicious . The fries that came as a side dish were nicely seasoned and perfectly crisp on the outside with a tender middle. My friends ordered one each of the taco offerings but the green house salsa was a bit too hot for one of our party. There was no alternative they could replace it with. They also weren't fans of the side dish cilantro black beans with queso. But we all have individual preferences. The service was good and the prices were fair for what we ordered. I would not go back unless I knew I could eat indoors, unfortunately. read more

Hubby and I stopped in for Brunch last week and really liked the food. He had the pork belly hash with poached eggs, which he loved. I had the cinnamon French toast, which was amazing!

We would recommend and go back again! read more

I will definitely come again to try another dish. I had picked out six dishes that I wanted to try but my stomach could only do one...lol read more
