Okay, if I tell you how amazing this place really is, everyone is going to come here and then I…read morewon't be able to get a table... so let me just say this: STAY AWAY! The food was awful. Don't ever go there. Just kidding, sorry Cups -- but seriously, this place is OFF THE CHARTS! I had the Ahi Salad, Lox Benedict, French Toast, Cups Omelet, and the Divorced Eggs, and every single dish was incredibly pleasing to the mouth. My mouth is watering just thinking about each one. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. And the iced coffee deserves its own shout-out. They even had coffee ice cubes so your drink doesn't get watered down. Genius -- and really, really good! The staff was super attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. I hope they pool the tips together because every single person earns their keep. And speaking of that -- don't forget to tip the cooks, too! The food coming out of that kitchen deserves some love. Cups Cafe, you nailed it. Great food, great people, great experience, great ambiance. Five stars all day long. Just don't tell too many people... I still want to get a table next time.

We sat outside, even in the heat it was ok. The portions were much bigger than I anticipated. This is not bad. Lol Both of our dishes were phenomenal. The only thing that lacked were the zucchini pancakes. They were extremely sour, and not in good way. Also very, dense and gummy. Otherwise everything else was great. We will stop here sometime soon, and again on our AZ-CA CA-AZ adventures.

Swiss Donuts on Washington in Palm Desert is a delightful stop--and walking in right as they opened…read morewas an experience all its own. The moment the door closed behind us, the aroma of fresh donuts practically wrapped around us. That alone told us we were in the right place. We were greeted by a very friendly lady, and the donuts did not disappoint. The glazed doughnut--always the true test of a great donut shop--was excellent. While they're not Randy's (because let's be honest, nothing quite matches Randy's), Swiss Donuts comes impressively close with outstanding quality and flavor. They offer a nice variety of donuts, along with cold beverages and coffee, and the shop is clean, inviting, and pleasant. If you want to grab a delicious donut in Palm Desert, this is absolutely the place to stop.

SHORT ANSWER: Yes, best time off season or off hours as this place gets slammed for a reason…read more LOCATION: Great location, just off Washington in La Quinta, Easy to find parking can get busy depending on when you visit. FACILITY: Looks like a diner, is a diner, and very nice and clean. MENU: Many selections, breakfast options may be overwhelming but you'll definitely find something you want. Lunch offers very good but standard options. FOOD PREP: Always, very well done for that Louise's Pantry is, they don't fake anything here. FOOD QUALITY: Excellent for this style of food. It is a great experience. WAITSTAFF: We've been here many times, and never have we run across anyone not upbeat, polite, and happy to see a customer. OVERALL VALUE: A bit on the expensive side but considering the amount of food they bring you, it is a fair deal. TIP: Unless you are Mr. Creosote (bonus points if you know that one) for $2.00 you can get a split plate and still have a huge portion. We usually go this way respecting the seats we are taking up.

My husband and I stopped by Louise's Pantry for breakfast during our stay in La Quinta. We both…read moreordered the Country Breakfast, and unfortunately, it was just okay. The eggs needed seasoning, and the country potatoes were dry and lacked flavor, with only a couple of small pieces of onion and red pepper mixed in. My husband had the hash browns instead and felt his breakfast was just as bland. The service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was relaxed, but we were seated next to a broom, dustpan, and the bus cart for dirty dishes, which wasn't the best first impression. The restaurant also feels a bit dated. A few simple updates, like replacing the dusty artificial flowers and keeping cleaning supplies out of sight, would make a big difference. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but with so many great breakfast options in the area, we probably wouldn't return.

Winchell's Donuts in Palm Desert is a great spot when you're craving something sweet--especially…read moresince they're open 24 hours. The store is always very clean, welcoming, and well-kept, which makes the experience even better. Their employees are consistently friendly, and the customer service is excellent. While the donuts in the early evening can sometimes taste more like day-old selections, any other time of day you'll find them fresh, soft, and delicious with a wide variety to choose from. In terms of flavor, they're every bit as tasty as Swiss Donuts, though Winchell's is definitely on the pricier side. They also offer a good range of beverages, including Coke products and solid coffee options, making it easy to pair your donut with your favorite drink. And if a late-night or midnight craving hits, Winchell's has you covered--any hour, any day. Overall, it's a reliable, clean, friendly donut shop with great selection and convenience.

Lots of parking and open to all guests or visitors. This is a huge resort so plan on walking. FACILITY: Very nice poolside seating at CAVA even in summer. MENU: a lot of options, all good, and many healthy. FOOD PREP: for what it is, for a resort the food prep was done professionally. FOOD QUALITY: very good. LIBATIONS: all very good but better options at the pool bar, well more fun anyway. WAITSTAFF: the CAVA crew was great, service oriented and big on making guests happy. OVERALL VALUE: very good for a resort. TIP: try and sitting outside at CAVA, sitting by the pool food just makes it a bit messy but pretty sure it is the same kitchen.

We were seated outside, given menu and drinks and ended up waiting for a much shorter time than we anticipated - many thanks, Robert! The food was excellent - I had the shrimp & asparagus omelet, and the others enjoyed the Benedict, mushroom omelet, and blueberry french toast. We loved sitting outside with the gorgeous lake views.
