Now that is a sandwich. Best in psp
N S.

What is happenings. Service has declined. Hard to find someone when u walk In. Further more the quality of the baked good not as good as In the past. Example the Italien biscotti has changed in taste. Use to be amazing now just average

Spinach was incorporated with the cheddar cheese. It was actually pretty gross.

I ordered the ultimate croissant breakfast sandwich and asked if potato salad came with it. I got no response. Apparently it's five dollars for a scoop of potato salad which if I had known that I would've not gotten it. Nothing else comes with the $17 sandwich. This was at 12:20 PM. 30 minutes later this is what I received and it was $25. I asked for it to go because I am at the courthouse and at jury duty and I cannot spend an hour for lunch. They need more help here. Also the sandwich menu said provolone and this is clearly cheddar cheese and it was mixed in with the scrambled eggs along with the spinach. The waitresses were clearly busy and she gave me no alternative than to get it to go and I still paid the $25 I would not recommend this at all. Used to be really good but now that they've expanded their menu that's gone downhill. Go there if you have time money and patience or just grab a roll to go from their bakery.

Super cute!!! And the coffees were to die for. We split a bunch of sides and everything was great.

Their pastries are out of this world
Dining With The Davids F.

We're Dining with The Davids. When we go to a restaurant, we bring a group of friends known as our "Taste Buds." We typically order a 12-course meal, which allows us to really get to know the menu. At the end of the evening, everyone votes for their favorite dishes, which we turn into video content for Instagram, TikTok, and beyond. For this visit, we brought 7 of our Taste Buds to Carousel Bakery in Palm Springs--and every single person left impressed. This spot is a total hidden gem near the airport, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or grabbing something on your way in or out of town. Owners Liz and Alberto clearly pour their heart into every homemade dish. We sampled a variety of items including the Cochinita Burrito, Huevos Rancheros, Ultimate Breakfast Croissant, Eggs Benedict, French Toast, Ciabatta Tri-Tip, and Focaccia Brisket. Not a single miss among them. But the true star? The Pistachio Cheesecake--rich, creamy, and hands down the best pastry of the day. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, plus catering services for larger events. Whether you're local or just visiting, Carousel Bakery is absolutely worth a stop.

Wanted something quick and was somewhat tight on time but wanted to try some place different. This has a Togo area and a sit down area where you can get waited on. I got, to go and sat in the area since had some time to finish what I ordered. They do have a decent amount of pastries to choose from which is good and a decent drink menu. Nothing really stood out to me but what I ordered was good. Nothing crazy good, just good. The people working there though seemed a little all over the place and almost seemed confused how to run it or at least deal with the customers who kept coming in. Especially when they didn't know where to go to be seated. Either way it's decent inside. It's comfortable and the feel of it and where it's located, suits the feel for it. Price side you are looking about $5-10 per item per person. The sit down menu which I glanced at, seemed a little pricier than other cafes but who knows the food might be worth it. My first experience was average. I might or might not give it another try. But maybe your experience will be better than mine.

Lox & Egg Benny on a jalapeño cheddar scone! Ask for the scone to be warmed up!
Sydney M.

What an amazing hidden gem! I regularly drop my dog off to get his haircut in this plaza and am always looking for things to do. Some of the other restaurants don't open until later in the day, but this one was open nice and early. I was expecting a small bakery or coffee shop, but was pleasantly surprised to find full seating when I arrived! The place was super busy too -- lots of people coming in and out to try the delicious grub. I had the lox and eggs benny on a jalapeño scone and it was incredible. My only suggestion was that the scone would've been amazing if it was toasted, but I'm sure they can do that for you upon request! Also a heads up that their hollandaise sauce is more on the lemony/citrusy side -- something to be mindful of if you're not into that. I thought it was great contrasting flavors to the spice of the scone! Will be back again!

I have cheese croissant with a small piece of ham and no cheese. At least I couldn't see the cheese.
Bunny P.

Sometimes you need to call out places. If you're going to charge as much as you do. Maybe you Should provide a quality product for what you charge. Ham a cheese croissant. Ridiculous! Not cool.

Took one bite already

First time and I really love the ultimate croissant I added bacon and exclusive taste !!!

This past June while planning for a birthday, I had the opportunity to reach out to Melissa and her…read moreteam to get a cake ready for the celebration. Melissa was very accommodating with the shorter than their recommended lead time of about 3.5 weeks versus 4 weeks in advance and was very responsive throughout the entire process through email with the final confirmation over the phone. On the day of the pick up, they also remembered we were coming in from LA and followed up with us to make sure we were going to get there before they closed at 4PM. They had a wide variety of flavors to choose from that could be cake, but we settled on traditional chocolate, one of the flavors that allow for a custom design. We sent them an inspiration photo of what we were looking for along with the color scheme and they absolutely knocked it out of the park on the looks. The cake was well received by everyone at the party. Since I was unable to get one of their more daring and creative flavors as the custom cake, I did go ahead and order a dozen of their Dubai chocolate cupcakes and very much enjoyed them.

Everyone, and I…read moremean EVERYONE, commented that this was the best cake (not just wedding cake) that they had ever tasted. Not to mention, they also killed the blue sky design that made the final effect with our airplane topper simply perfection! It was a focal point of the reception. I truly cannot overstate how amazing this cake was. And being from a family of bakery aficionados, we have high standards. They killed it! Even though our wedding guest count was 33 people, we asked for a 50-guest cake and I'm so glad that we did because still enjoying the leftovers 3 days later!

We used Nathan for our wedding on 4/4/26, and we could not have been happier…read more We ended up going with the double chocolate and Pistachio flavors, but it was an extremely hard choice. When we did our tasting we loved every flavor. I am one of those people that loves fondant and wanted to make sure my wedding cake had good fondant and Nathan's fondant was incredible. All our guests talked about how good the cake was and the cake was exactly what I was hoping for on my special day. The cake is worth every penny! I can't wair to order another one next time we celebrate something in palm springs. Plesse see a photo of the final product and what the sketch was. Once I get photos of cake in th actual reception space I will update there too.

From the start, Nathan was responsive when I contacted him via his website and answered all of my questions about cake sizes, delivery, and timing. He quickly understood the style of cake I envisioned from the "elevated desert sunset" description I gave him, and created a beautiful cake that fit the theme even better than I could have imagined. The price of the cake felt like great value for what we received, and he delivered the cake to our Airbnb on time on the day of the party. The pink champagne flavor was delicious and the flavors in each layer paired nicely together, making each slice a complete experience. We enjoyed the cake so much that we decided we had to bring it back with us, so we bought an insulated bag and froze the remaining cake to make that happen. Happy to report it made the journey back to San Francisco intact. I'd work with Nathan again in a heartbeat, this cake was a piece of art and had the flavor to match.

But we got lucky for a table on the patio and was seated under the mister. Nice table with a view of the street. Great for people watching. Of course it was hot, the mister did help. Inside was quite packed so maybe that's probably why we were seated right away outside. Anyways, it did get packed as well. Service has alway been great. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. It's your classic Jewish deli and restaurant. So of course, pickles and sauerkraut were brought out right away. Menu literally has pretty much a big selection of everything. And the potions are pretty massive. Started off with a large orange juice which was quite tasty. Food wise, an order of the chili cheese omelette with a side of potatoes and also comes with a bagel. It was quite loaded with the chili and cheese which was nice. Potatoes, your traditional breakfast style. Also, the eggs and lox scrambled. That was tasty too with a side of tomatoes slices and toast. Simple meal but tasty. And a side of fries which are like chips. The meal was great. Service was excellent and the staff were all very friendly. And if you have room for dessert, it's basically heaven with all the selections of cakes and pastries. It's worth having.

Back in November we ended up going to Sherman's 2 times, and we did it again last week. It was so nice, we went twice! The food is as good as it gets for NY Deli cuisine this far west. I opted for the 3 meat sandwich, I almost had to unhinge my jaw in order to take a proper bite. The sandwich was piled high with pastrami, corned beef and BBQ brisket. The rye bread was soft and delicious and absorbed the mustard and meat juices quite well. The matzoh ball soup was nostalgic, healing, and delicious all at the same time. We'll be back Sherman's -- believe it!
