We were celebrating a birthday, so it felt like the perfect occasion to order a beautiful cake and enjoy breakfast as a family in their dining space. Employees are rather unhelpful. Our cake order was not ready on time, which was a bit frustrating when managing schedules with kids. I also didn't appreciate the employee watching our entire family select breakfast items to only subsequently tell us that they are not serving breakfast at all that day.

Thank you for helping make the evening even more special!!!

This spot that was featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, and it definitely lives up to the…read morereputation. Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

We had a negative experience here last year, concerning the difference between British Kippers and…read moreDeli Kippers. Since we were in the area for an hour or so, we gave it another go. Service was excellent. Seated immediately and ordering minutes later. Got extra cream cheese on request and our coffees were diligently refilled. The main attraction was the pastrami sandwich. Totally to my wife's taste, extremely lean and stacked high. She had to take half home. I tried an omelette with corned beef and loved it. The everything bagel was perfectly acceptable, not too "bready." So: service good, pastrami good, and bagel good. Everything good about a deli is covered.

She offered us warm fresh pastries and omg the Concha was sooo good that I'm upset I only ordered one! I've never had one right out of the oven, what difference. They were so soft and not dry at all. My son had a sprinkle cookie and he devoured it. This is not a self serve type place, I have been to a few where you get a tray and serve your self. There is lots of seating in there though to enjoy your purchase. We will def be back.

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.

Why is no one talking about this place?!!!…read more I can say this place is one of those rare finds you measure other meals against afterward. I stumbled on The French Corner while driving cross‑country, expecting another forgettable meal- and instead walked into what felt like an old‑world kitchen with a dash of current period wrapped in quiet romance. The room has a warmth and charm that you just don't see anymore: soft, unpretentious, intimate, like being welcomed into someone's home rather than processed through another restaurant. In a country where corporate dining has made every exit start to look the same, this felt almost unreal, like I'd slipped into a little pocket of time that somehow survived. We came in the morning and started with pastries, and that's when I realized this wasn't an ordinary stop. The pastries were next‑level: delicate, rich, clearly made with quality ingredients and real care. You taste butter, you taste texture, you taste intention. It was one of those moments where you look across the table and both of you know--you've found something special. We were so impressed that we didn't just talk about coming back; we had to come back that same day for dinner, which they've only recently started serving again since covid, and it felt like being let in on a secret. The food carried that same homemade soul the pastries promised--deep flavor, thoughtful seasoning, nothing rushed, nothing generic, fresh vegetables etc It was the kind of meal where conversation lingers, bites are shared, and you suddenly realize hours have slipped by without you noticing. There's an intimacy here that no chain restaurant can manufacture. As someone who's spent years chasing good food from the road, I can say places like this are heartbreakingly rare--far and few between, and fragile in the best way. I already know I'll be pining to return, measuring future road trips against the hope that I can swing by again. If you're anywhere within reach, don't wait or assume it'll always be there. Go now, sit down, and experience it while you still can.
