At La Provence Patisserie & Cafe, in Palm Desert my visit felt as though I was stepping into a…read morelittle Parisian daydream tucked beneath the desert sun. The whimsical atmosphere dances with charm, delicate pastries gleaming behind glass, the soft hum of conversation, and an elegance that somehow feels both refined and warmly inviting. The table service is nothing short of exceptional, with staff who make each guest feel like an honored friend lingering over brunch in a French countryside café. Every dish arrives beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor, from buttery pastries to savory delights that comfort the soul and delight the senses. And one delicious secret worth savoring; do not leave without trying the homemade raspberry confiture. Its rich, bright sweetness paired with fresh bread or pastries is pure magic the kind of taste that lingers long after the last bite and calls you back again soon.

Lots of parking, service is great, food is delicious. The only downside is that you have to seat yourself so it's always that awkward situation where you just scan and scan to see who might leave first.

It is an authentic french restaurant with high quality food and service. The breakfast was very good and you can tell they put effort into making sure the food both tastes good and looks good.

Turns out…read morethis place is a restaurant as well as a bakery, so we stayed and I had the croque madame and a super frothy cappucino. Friend said his hot chocolate and croissant were great. My sandwich was great. Told Marc the owner who served us, this is gonna be the best meal of my day. I got takeout with steak and eggs and the onion soup for my son (clearly I'm spoiling him). Both were really good and the steak was tender. All items recommended. I may have to go back over the next couple days before heading back to L.A.

Everyone at the party couldn't believe how fresh, light and divine the cake was. Thank you for making our birthday celebration DELICIOUS :)

Got a special ordered cake here last weekend for a special someone!…read more Let me tell you how amazing and wonderful my experience was here. First: the CAKE. Funfetti--because turning 40 doesn't mean we can't still have fun, right? I added cream cheese frosting and it was so light and fluffy! It was a huge hit with our party of 20. The design was perfect, totally on-theme, and it became the center of attention the moment everyone walked into our Airbnb. They instantly knew they were in the right place with good vibes. The staff was top notch. We called to let them know we were on the way, and they gave us clear directions to their location in the strip mall (on the back side--FYI). She also told us our cake was stunning and ready for pickup. She was so kind and careful when handing it over, and even gave step-by-step instructions on getting it home safely and storing it. I highly recommend this place if you want to trust your vision to a company that truly cares about making your cake as beautiful as possible!

Yum! I got the 4-pack for about $19, and I have no regrets. My favorite was the coconut. The…read morevanilla frosting was so fluffy and perfectly not too sweet. The cake was amazing, it had some sort of coconutty filling that made it really moist, kind of like a tres leches cake. The toffee chocolate was my second favorite. The chocolate frosting was perfect and not too sweet. They also had some gluten-free and keto options. Service was great, and it looked like they put the cupcakes together on the spot, which took a few minutes to prepare. I'll definitely be back for the yummy coconut cupcakes.

Somewhere between sunstroke and sugar cravings in the desert, we found ourselves at Tiffany's Sweet…read moreSpot... and honestly, bless the heat for guiding us there!!! We went in "just to look" (famous last words) and walked out with 3 cupcakes: vanilla bean, red velvet, and salted caramel toffee... plus a mocha tres leches parfait because self-control is seasonal and clearly out of stock!! Every single bite was the kind of good that makes you close your eyes mid-chew and ignore whoever's talking to you. But let's discuss the real star: the frosting!!! I was fully prepared for standard whipped cream or buttercream vibes, and instead got this cloud-like, silky situation that tasted rich but somehow light enough to justify eating an entire cupcake without emotional consequences. Tiffany herself let me in on the secret.... it's Italian meringue buttercream. So basically, classy buttercream that went to finishing school. Tiffany is also an absolute gem... warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what she's baking up. You can taste the love (and the butter, but mostly the love)!!! If you're in the desert and your sweet tooth starts whispering reckless ideas, listen to it. And definitely support this family-owned local spot. We'll be back for "research purposes" and to satisfy our sweet tooth!!

I will walk this line to get something from TKB. 4/5 Service The line can look intimidating but moves rather quickly to order. Getting your food, we'll you have to wait. My party all got their food and ai was just standing there like a little kid waiting with anticipation. 5/5 Food I am just thinking of how warm the sandwich was. Went with the special of the day. I can still savor it, makes my mouth water. The Smoked Pastrami was delicious! Pastrami was tender, the garlic buttered french roll added a nice flavor along with the French fries. 5/5 Ambiance Seating in or outdoors. Lots of space even when it's busy. 5/5 Parking Spots are as available as the chips along the line inside. 6/5 Likelihood to Return I can't wait for work to send me to Indio again so I can try another one and walk the line to order.

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.

The atmosphere, however, felt a bit tense. The owner came across as strict--no cash accepted, directing customers where to stand, and overall a bit domineering. With only one server working, he seemed understandably stressed, and the overall vibe wasn't particularly warm or welcoming. Maybe it was the busy holiday weekend, but it was hard to tell. On the bright side, our drinks were strong and delicious, and the panini we ordered was excellent.

They also have a bunch of other great wines, olive oils, pasta dishes, desserts, take-and-bake pizza, etc. There's a lot to love here. Tip: you can buy a bottle of wine there and drink it with lunch. Highly recommend this place - one of my favorite lunch spots in the desert. Also walking distance to 2 great coffee shops and some other fun local businesses. Seating inside is limited but when the weather is nice they have a sizable patio. They're very take-out forward, so don't plan your visit around the weather.

This review is for the bakery…read more All three items we got were massively underwhelming. The tiramisu, the triple chocolate cake and the torte de la nonna. All were bland and dry and very disappointing. The deli looks solid and has some solid items stocked. Next time we will just grab some deli meat and cheese, but leave the cannoli... So sad. We really wanted to love this place.
