    French baguette with butter and jam
    Alex P.

    L'attalier is a gem of a spot that hasn't disappointed since I started coming when I was visiting. The toasted baguette is my favorite thing! The food is always beautifully plated and served in a traditional French fashion. I love coming here and make it a point to recommend it to people who I know are passing through.

    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.

    Quiche Lorraine

    This is a great little French restaurant. It's very busy in the morning before the heat so get there early. There is limited space inside but there is outdoor space too. The quiche is very popular - almost every table orders it. It's delicious- thick but soft and very fluffy. The crepes are delicious and authentic. The pastries are delicious - especially the raspberry beignets. What I like about this place are the owners who are very personal- they care about their customers and often come and speak with their patrons to make sure everything is to their satisfaction - you can tell people that come often come back and know the owners. This feels like an authentic French bistro. Highly recommend the restaurant. Nice family owned French restaurant not to be missed when in Palm Springs.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    Their Croque Madame is no doubt the best breakfast in PS, Splendid Cappuccino & the Best Carmel (house made) Steamer ever!

    Estele K.

    4/5: amazing food! Croissant hits different. Maybe it's the vibe maybe it's the food. Maybe it's both. Love the casual breakfast. Service 5/5 Would come back again!

    Salmon Benedict Croissant ($17)
    Jennifer H.

    1.5/5 stars Came here for brunch on a Sunday, and we didn't have to wait. I got the salmon benedict croissant ($17), and my bf got the workshop eggs and a croissant. Unfortunately, the salmon benedict croissant was horrendous. The poached eggs were grainy. The croissant was tasteless and soggy. The salmon was solid, but the pieces were small. The side salad was very small. I tried my boyfriend's workshop eggs, and I thought that was good The inside ambiance is cute, but old-looking. The chairs were run-down. The water glass given to me was very old, and the edges were jagged. Service was very quick. If you pay with credit card, there's a $1 charge. Overall, would not recommend eating here

The vast selections of sweets is outstanding and very delicious. And then there's the food. Your traditional Jewish deli. The food has alway been great for both breakfast and lunch. We've never been for dinner but I'm sure if lunch is great, it should be as well. Stopped by after a hike for lunch which wasn't that busy as it was Thursday. Majority of the people were dining inside as it was still pretty hot. They were only utilizing the front part of the patio the time we walked in. Service was great with our waitress. Didn't get her name but she was a doll. We both just wanted a sandwich which they do have a very good selection. As alway, pickles and sauerkraut was brought to the table. It's a classic. Sandwiches, we had the pastrami with fries (like chips) which is an addition fee as it tends to come with coleslaw or potatoes salad. And the tuna sandwich with coleslaw. Both are pretty decent in size and stuffed with meat. Pastrami was quite tasty and juicy. Only downfall, it's literally just meat and bread. You add the extras yourself, ie mustard or pickles. The tuna sandwich, with lettuce, tomatoes and red onion was quite tasty as well. The food has always been tasty and great. Portion wise are pretty big so there tends to be leftovers for a lot of people. Breakfast is a must as it's alway busy especially during the weekend. It's one of our favorite place out here in the desert.

So being from Los Angeles, where, when I was growing up, we had a fantastic Jewish delis, the idea of hitting up a place that is still around that still sells the food that I knew in love was too attractive to pass up. To say that Sherman's was a disappointment would be a massive understatement. The egg salad and chopped liver sandwich was pretty bad. First there was barely any egg salad on the sandwich at all. And the chopped liver was Bland and had a really bad consistency. You'd be better off ordering Nationwide delivery from Russ and Daughters. The matzoh ball soup with chicken and noodles was equally bland tasteless. Not to mention the fact that the matzo ball was curiously hard for should be velvety soft. The service was fine, getting my orders wrong multiple times. First, they brought me the matzoh ball soup with no noodles. Then they brought me a pastrami sandwich, even though I ordered egg salad and chopped liver. Sherman has the veneer of an old school Jewish deli with without any of the quality food. Whatever nostalgia I might've had was decimated once I started eating.

It was close to end of day so I was quick to browse the offerings before placing my sandwich order. Ended up getting a Caprese and Parma on focaccia. The staff seemed preoccupied with Cleaning but did their best to get my sandwich order out fast. I've heard nothing but good things about this place but this is my first time. I asked the lady behind the counter for a popular favorite recommendation and she seemed confused and just said everything was good. Two sandwiches around $40 so I was hoping for something great. Unfortunately we agreed that the taste was good, but nothing amazing and probably not what we were expecting for the price. Everything fell just a little bit flat. It wasn't bad but it wasn't memorable either. I ended up drizzling balsamic vinegar on the Caprese at home since they only put olive oil and a little bit of pesto on the bread and the whole thing just felt lacking ever so slightly. The shop itself was clean and well kept and had a lot to offer so I still recommend stopping by and browsing for Italian goodies. Just not my favorite sandwich spot. Maybe we will try something else another day or just stick to the pasta!
