On my most recent trip to Palm Desert I stopped in to dine at their cafe. To my surprise it was…read moreclosed permanently according to the posted sign and breakfast options are now premade and available under heat lamps and at a price of $10.50 a pound with the exception of the breakfast burritos. I opted for a breakfast burrito which was made with quality ingredients. The burrito tasted clean, non-greasy and filling. I totally understand why they closed the cafe with the cost of labor and overhead increasing. The new set up is self-service and they still offer a good size dining area and free wifi so you can enjoy a meal or beverage.

Bristol Farms did it for under $200 and it was perfect. George, the Baker, did a fantastic job and stayed in contact with me throughout the process.

We are visiting the Rancho Mirage area and have experience patronizing a Gelson's in Del Mar, so we…read morewere not surprised by the abundant selection of....everything! Produce, canned and dry goods, and some options not available in other stores, like gluten free, organic, vegan, etc. A great many grab and go as well, from a large salad bar to deserts and sandwiches,even a carving station for hot off the bone turkey Sandos. Parking is sufficient, staff is courteous and helpful, and the atmosphere is sort of a Wonderland. The only reason I give them a four-star rating concerns the prices. Not just a little more than their competitors, a lot more, from 25% to double, in the case of the rotisserie chickens. So, my recommendation is to stop in but to be selective in your choices.

I also walked by the bakery section and admired their seasonal cake display, as well as the baked treats that are on offer year-round. The peach topped muffins looked particularly tempting. I still couldn't find any sugar-free soda or sugar-free drinks. But I will return to Marvel at the endless aisles of tempting treats.

They carry so many fun, hyper‑local small‑business products, which I love -- way more exciting than grabbing the same old chips you see at any gas station.

The sandwiches looked incredible -- I didn't try one this time, but I absolutely would. A fantastic store right in the heart of downtown Palm Springs.

For our brunch while on a desert trip, we checked out this place as the menu seemed fun, parking…read moreseemed friendly, and overall had the vibe we enjoy. Our overall experience was lacking in almost every way. We were seated outside, and this was bad. The only available table was on the side by the street, and we were in full blast range for the wind and the sound of their outdoor AC. I can't put it to words how this impacted our overall meal, and the immediate regret we felt. Their indoor seating was also not going to be possible for us because of just how loud it was. Our server took our food and drink order right away, but she never checked in on us after the drop off. I ordered the Irish iced coffee, looking forward to getting a nice treat drink. I ended up getting just a regular iced coffee, and unfortunately I had no chance to try and flag anyone down to get this sorted out since we were never checked on once the items were delivered. This includes the waters we ordered for the table as well. The only good thing about this was that I was only charged for an iced coffee. The eggs Benedict were simply "ok" and rather unremarkable. They arrived just above room temperature and while they weren't bad, they weren't great either. The sandwich was fine, but the home fries were over seasoned by far and had way too much salt. Overall, this was a disappointing brunch. Unless they really look into the quality of the food, the lack of table service, and their terrible side dining area by their outdoor AC, I can say we have no plans on returning.

We were greeted by the lovely Maxine (Mrs Cobb) who was kind and welcoming. She showed us and let us sample a few of the different types of dates available, and even showed us how they grow and are picked from the palm trees. (They do offer tours that you can sign up for which we might have to go back for). Their property looks like a beautiful palm-filled oasis and is very worth visiting. We purchased 2 different types of dates that were both delicious and unique in their taste and texture. We will definitely go back and visit again soon. Thank you to the Cobb Family for a cool and educational experience.
