    Apple cake with homemade caramel- this is seriously one of the best most simple things ever
    Gina L.

    Incredible freshly made real food and genuinely nice people serving you; we went back three times during our week long stay in Palm Springs- the coffee was the best I have had in Palm Springs, served with real cream- not to be missed is the apple cake with caramel sauce, trust me

    Prosciutto sandwich

    Food was good! Dessert was better! Steve the server was very helpful and very nice. We sat outside and they had some music and it was busy. Won't be last time going.

    croque monsier
    Meya B.

    I ordered the wrong item so this truly is a good review haha! The croque monsier was very tasty and came out pipping hot. For the fresh ingredients I feel like the price point wasn't bad at all, this was also my first time trying it! The staff were super nice and attentive. The place was cute and the chef was exactly who you'd imagine in a French cafe! I will say it was extremely hot and stuffy inside, it's probably better to sit outside. Great spot!

    I'm surprised I haven't written a review for L'Atelier cos I've been here for brunch every time I'm in Palm Springs. The place is small and parking isn't that easy (especially on weekends), so definitely come early. They also sell out of pastries and sweets/desserts pretty quickly, so early is key if you want the full selection. My faves: the ham or salmon croissant, the fruit tarts, and the quiche. Price wise it's similar to LA. Owner & staff were friendly but food did take a while to arrive as it was a full house.

    Pear almond tart

    This place is such a gem! We had the salmon quiche, the mixed platter, and the pear almond tart. The french toast was the best I've ever had. The platter came with a lot of food and was a great deal for the price. The quiche was fluffy and perfection. AND THE TART! Perfect crust, perfect filling. The coffee was good. The service was great, and the area is really cute and picturesque! I would come back next time we are in Palm Springs. Definitely worth the stop!

    L'Atelier Café serves some of the best French food in Palm Springs--the French Onion Soup is world-class and the Eggs Benedict was a hit! The service wasn't quite as impressive as the meal itself, feeling a bit detached, but the flavors coming out of the kitchen more than made up for it. A great 2025 stop for a delicious, high-quality brunch.

    Good food. Staff was so friendly and sweet. Ate breakfast there and it was good. It wasn't memorable but it was fine. The decor is adorable and the place is very quaint. My son had a sandwich and unfortunately the bread was hard.

    Love this French Cafe in downtown Palm Springs. The Service and Food is phenomenal. It's been 6 years since our last visit, check hours of operation because we have missed visiting because of their closed days. The Food is AMAZING. New owners for the last 4 years

    Salmon Benedict
    Heidi P.

    Brunch was so tasty and filling. We were recommended the platters or benedicts, so my partner got the Mixed Platter and I got the Salmon Benedict. We also loved the ratatouille, a vegetable stew. Everything tasted fresh and we were very satisfied. Parking can be challenging as the lot is small (we walked from our hotel this time). Service was friendly and as we were walking out the chef or owner handed us a madeleine on the house to finish the meal.

    Lori A.

    Delicious, authentic food from start to finish, and they accommodated our big party quickly. Highly recommend the blueberry tart and the ham crepe. Get ready for an upbeat environment, almost as if you're in Leon!

    Omelet de Paris
    Cici C.

    Amazing local find! Very nice café with outdoor seating in the plaza. Their quiches and pastries are homemade. To die for! Classic French Cafe menu. We had friendly and attentive service by Steve and we enjoyed talking with the owner Jose. We enjoyed an incredible Blueberry Almond Tarte. Will be visiting this gem again soon.

    Prosciutto panini
    Angelo R.

    TL:DR don't listen to Simon A., this place is delicious, and the staff are so friendly! Highly recommend We came here for brunch, and I'm so glad we did. The food was delicious and everything was so reasonably priced. We were a party of 4. All of us ordered a drink and a main dish (2 of us having an extra side) and we paid roughly $80. The pain au chocolat was delicious and was definitely baked that morning. I also ordered the prosciutto panini and it was served with a side salad. It was absolutely delicious. I also had it with a hot chocolate and that was so yummy! The owners were working as the wait staff and it was so endearing that they came over to ask if everything turned out well, and it absolutely was.

    Cafe latte- perfection!
    Cherie B.

    Back again at this magnificent restaurant. Everything is so delicious and I can't say enough about the baguettes. The service is fantastic, the coffee is perfect. Can't wait to go back. You have to go early unless you want to wait. It's a small space and sidewalk tables are quaint. The platter is the Esther.

    I tried FARM on Sunday for brunch, and it was definitely busy. There was a waiting list, and as a…read moresingle it took me about 15-20 minutes to get a table, which honestly wasn't bad at all. I've been getting a little fed up with relying on Google recommendations lately. You'll see places with 5,000+ reviews and almost five stars, then you actually go there and the food is a huge disappointment. FARM was one of those places where the food actually lived up to the reviews and the hype. I ordered the Spanish Migas with a side of potatoes and a small French press. The Migas were perfectly cooked, and the spice level was just right. You could taste each ingredient separately, and the salsa was really good too. The potatoes were probably one of my favorite parts--crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The coffee was great as well. My server, Carol R., was very attentive and kept checking on me throughout the meal. She even double-checked the name and receipt, which I appreciated because she was clearly paying attention to the details and making sure everything was correct. The atmosphere is really nice too. It actually feels like you're sitting on a farm, which makes the whole brunch experience feel special. And considering the portion size, quality of the food, and how popular this place is, I thought the price was very reasonable. This place actually met my expectations, which has been rare lately. If you're in Palm Springs and looking for a good brunch spot, I'd definitely recommend FARM. I just wish I had found this place sooner!

I ordered the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and it was really good. The eggs were perfectly poached, the salmon was generous, and the hollandaise was creamy without feeling too heavy. I also liked that it came with fresh berries on the side, which made the whole plate feel a little lighter. We also shared the bread and cheese board, and surprisingly, the pear with the date spread was probably one of my favorite bites. The pear was crisp and fresh, and that sweet, rich date spread was seriously addictive. I kept going back for more. The bread, nuts, cheese, and other little bites on the board made it really fun to share. The drinks were refreshing too, and the presentation was beautiful without trying too hard. Definitely one of those places where I'd come back with friends for a slow weekend brunch. The food was good, but the charming patio and overall vibe were probably my favorite part.

At the Cole Hotel, with a nice view of people speeding into town on 111, but what will surprise you is the sophistication of the cooking and the friendliness of the waiter and the chef. We've had: - Perfect bread, crusty, crunchy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. - Fabulous cocktails in heavy-bottomed glasses that let you know that you're royalty. - Cod that tastes like something you would get from Nobu. - French onion soup that might not be the cheesiest in the world, but the depth of flavor is amazing. - Rigatoni with a delicious sauce. - Desserts that have us melting. And more... It's truly a special place. I wish we could go every week, but it's not so impossibly priced that you can't go at least once a month. Freddie is always there with warmth and humor, and both gentlemen we've had as servers have been well informed and service-oriented. We never drive down this section of 111 when coming from Mission Lakes. We usually take Indian Canyon and then we turn on Vista Chino. For years, we have actually missed seeing this wonderful restaurant, but one day we just decided to explore and go a different way, and there it was. You can't miss that sign. We were in a mood for something good, and boy, did we find it. Freddie and his kitchen have our hearts.

I was actually the first customer there in the morning, so I wasn't expecting it to be that oily. The place itself is really cute, and the staff was friendly. There was no wait, which was nice. I also saw that some celebrity chefs have visited, so I can definitely see why this place gets a lot of attention. I just wish the food had been better.

Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but I left feeling a little disappointed. 3 stars for the cute place and friendly service, but the food just wasn't there for me this time.

Also Sunday brunch can never go wrong. Right in the heart of town along the main strip of downtown. Perfect for people watching while dining on the patio. Be advised, it does get hot but they do have both the main covered patio and street covered patio. Both with mister working the whole time. If you prefer ac, they have indoor dining as well. We like to enjoy the sun and people watching which patio is alway a good option for us. Of course we make friends with the waiter as they alway take care of us. Everyone here from the staff, waiter and waitress, and the owners are all very sweet and friendly. Menu is alway great. You have both the breakfast and brunch menu. We tend to come for them mainly but have never tried dinner here. Of course the bubbly is always a good start. A bottle with three juice options and fresh fruit for adornment. Strawberries and blueberries for the bougie bubbly effect. And for the price, it's worth it. Food wise, we went with the chicken sandwich with salad and the burger with fruit. A side of fries is definitely a must even if it comes with it. Portion for the sandwich was massive. Nice thick piece of grilled and marinaded chicken breast filled with lettuce, tomatoes, onion and avocados on toasted bread. It's massive even when they sliced it in halves. And the burger, two nice patties with lettuce, tomato, cheese, onion and bacon. A classic and it was delicious. I'm not a burger person but every now and then a bite is worth it. The food has alway been excellent. Crowd is alway nice and bubbly. It's cute chit chatting with the other guest nearby.

The lady at the door told us inside would probably be loud because there were two bigger tables in there. It was hot outside, so we decided to sit inside anyway. We almost immediately regretted that and wished we'd sat outside. This place is not made for being busy on the inside. It's just too loud. But, cute in there. Our server, who we later learned was the bartender and not a usual server, took our drink orders. A few of us ordered the Hugo spritz, one gal got a beer, and a few other cocktails were ordered. We got our drinks and they were enjoyable. The problem began when we were ordering food. One girl in our group is Celiac and literally can not eat gluten. She ordered the salmon and asked to be sure the potato salad was gluten free. If things are fried or prepared in the same place as gluten objects, she is incredibly ill for weeks afterwards. She has to be super careful. His response was, "I think so." She told him she was celiac and had a true gluten allergy, and she needed him to be sure. Meanwhile, the menu boasts about how they proudly serve gluten free options right on the bottom. He then said, "yeah, I'm pretty sure it is." He genuinely did not seem concerned. She ended up ordering it but felt uncomfortable about whether or not it was really safe for her. Another girl at the end of the table asked him to please double check, as it was really a serious allergy. He said, "Yeah I am going to ask the chef. I wasn't going to just ignore it and make all you girls mad." He had the snarkiest tone when he said it, and it was incredibly, incredibly rude. That right there gave us a bad taste in our mouths. He came back out and said he checked with the chef, and it was indeed gluten free. Food came out and all tasted good. But when a restaurant prides itself on gluten free options, and then makes it so hard to order, it's not a good look. We wouldn't be back.
