    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.

    Biscuits and gravy

    Great breakfast place. We were in town for a graduation and looking for a good place for breakfast. Brunch 101 popped up on our Yelp App. Well we were not disappointed. Wait time was minimal, the place looked busy and we thought that we were going to wait for a long time. Not at all, took about 20 minutes. The staff were very attentive and polite. The food was amazing, flavors and portions were on point. You have to try the biscuits and gravy. Ambiance felt like we were at home. They have couches for seats. We will defiantly be back when we're back in town.

    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.

    Cinnamon French Toast

    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.

    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!!

    Smoked salmon toast, fruit cup.

    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.

    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!

    Omelette
    Rohith V.

    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.

    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.

    Breakfast Sandy
    Lawrence K.

    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.

    Guava and bubbles
    Jessica E.

    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!!

    Juan F.

    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.

    Delicious half eaten smoked salmon toast with avocado, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.
    Ana Maria O.

    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!

The service was great and friendly, and willing to seat us even an hour before closing their lunch hours and giving us lots of time and patience and never let our waters get low either! Their coffee is french press, and they offer fresh pressed juices too. They brought the french press pot to the table so you could press and refill your own cup as needed. We got grapefruit & watermelon, and both were refreshing and cooling. We ordered the avocado toast, the breakfast croissant, the breakfast sandwich, and the salmon crepe. Everyone really enjoyed their food. I found the salmon crepe to be really delicious, served with a jammy egg, a generously sized portion of salmon on a bed of spinach with some creme fraiche all wrapped in a delicious crepe wrap. I've never had anything quite like it. Also major compliments to the simple but refreshing side salad that came with each of our breakfasts, but we were also given the option of potatoes or mixed berries. Would recommend highly to anyone in the area looking for a good spot to have brunch.

It was going to be about half an hour for a table under first available. They take your number and text you when your table is ready with a 10 min grace period to get back. It did table about half hour till we received the text. This visit, we got seated inside which was a first for us. Majority of the restaurant is outside with covered umbrellas and small sections in the inside area with different rooms. Our waitress was quite sweet but didn't remember her name. Menu is pretty much same as I remember from last time. Of course the Bloody Mary is always a must here. Started off with that. Food wise, the andouille sausage omelette served with potatoes or a salad and avocado. That also comes with a side of baguette. And the baked brie platter which is a shared starter. But works also a meal if needed. A nice hefty portion of baked Brie with hazelnuts, both ciabatta bread and Asian pear as well as date jam. And a side order of bagel and cream cheese. Food was good. We've only been for brunch and each visit was great. Dinner is a prix fix menu which we have never been. Service was great and the staffs were all very friendly. Water was constantly filled when it was emptied. Until next time.

Golf course was closed but we were still able to see it. It's a big property. Lots to do. Do like they allow dogs since we had ours. They had multiple pools which we liked. We didn't use it but near one. Neither one looked too busy which was nice. Once we got settled into our room we went to go see Pinz and Pints since they had arcade games, including a duckpin bowling. My son was really excited about that. When we went they had a complimentary drink and candy bar. Drinks they offer are limited but still decent. We did get some food there as well. We got their nachos, Mac and cheese, and chicken tenders for my son. Both the nachos and Mac and cheese were really good. Love nachos and wanted to keep eating them. The next morning we went for breakfast at Pinzimini. They have a buffet option and also have a standard breakfast menu to choose items from. My husband got their brioche French toast and I selected to do their buffet. I know he liked the French toast. I liked the items offered in their buffet. They had a mix of mini pastries, cooked items, fruit. I primarily stuck with their pastries and fruit. Overall it was a nice location. Golf course is big.

The employees at the front desk were polite and trying their best, so this is not directed at them, but the communication and management responsiveness really need improvement. After traveling all day, it was frustrating sitting in the lobby with no clear updates or help. Then after finally getting into the room, I went to take a shower and the shower hose had been pointed straight outward. The second I turned the water on, it sprayed directly into my face and all over the bathroom floor. When I turned the water back toward the shower, I noticed there was already a towel sitting inside the shower completely drenched, which honestly made the whole room feel like it hadn't been properly checked or prepared before guests arrived. The property itself is beautiful, but the overall experience definitely did not match the level of service I expect from a Marriott property.
