Loved the food & views. Had an omelette cooked to perfection with fresh herbs, sausage, mushrooms, & potatoes. I can't remember the name of it, but I already know I'll be ordering it again. OH my gosh! I almost forgot about the amazing Blueberry Pancakes! A must! We sat on the patio with gorgeous views and perfect weather. You really can't beat that. If you're ever in Rancho Mirage, this place is a hidden gem & definitely worth checking out. It's located in a small plaza with plenty of parking & beautiful mountain views. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

This sleepy little restaurant is a generic diner and I won't be back. It's situated in a strange little strip mall in between destinations, not a destination in itself. When we visited there was one other patron in the far corner, and the employees were scarce, seemingly hiding in the kitchen. The menu features generic diner fare. I got a breakfast burrito that I could best describe as "boring." The servers were only seen on their way to and from the kitchen, dropping things off as needed and then disappearing, making the empty restaurant feel downright abandoned. Serviceable enough for a basic diner, but there are far better places to spend your time and money. read more

Service - friendly. Ambiance - festive. Kitchen - fast. Food - ok. I went for the first time and was sat super quick and was taken care of by Elizabeth. She was lovely and the perfect amount of attentive. The kitchen was on fire. I swear not two minutes after I put my order in, the food was out. Not really, but it was mega fast. My concern was the food, it was rather bland. I realize that they have to cook for all types of tastes, but there wasn't any flavor in anything. I had to add hot sauce e to it and then I got some seasoning. Unknown if I'll be back. read more

We've visited the Palms Cafe several times. This time we had Saturday brunch. The food here is good and plentiful. I enjoyed the burger and delicious onion rings. My husband liked the crab cake Benedict with home fries - but said they could have been warmer. The restaurant was very busy and noisy but the service was still great. Lots of easy parking available in the lot in front of the restaurant. read more

Service was terrible. First, our food took forever to come out. People who were sat after us got served before us. Once my waiter left my conjealed, lukewarm, hard yoked, Eggs Benedict I never heard from him again. He was there but not once stopped to ask how everything was when I would have told him to heat up my meal!. I was very hungry so I did eat most of it but all the while kept thinking he'd come over. It wasn't busy enough to warrant that behavior. My friend's Cesar salad dressing was very runny as well. That was our first time and will also be our last at Palms cafe. Also spooky, darkish ,, hidden, hallway in the mall there to locate the restroom .ugh read more

This is a must visit spot in Palm Springs. Every meal has been delicious, consistent and served up with warmth and hospitality! Their menu has everything to satisfy anyone's cravings.

This used to be a routine breakfast eatery for us when we lived here. It was fun popping in to say hi and have a great meal at a favorite spot while we are here visiting. The service is great like normal. Busy place but they don't miss a beat. The place runs like a well oiled machine. We look forward to our next visit. read more

Not much new to report. We stopped in again for a late breakfast and still felt that the food was only okay (more seasoning needed) and the service was a little inefficient. I will say that the place was packed and most patrons we spoke with while waiting, love it. FOOD: We tried a simple 2 Eggs & Bacon and pancake breakfast ($15.45), as well as the Chili Cheese Omelet with biscuit & gravy ($18). My omelet was tasty, but the hash browns lacked a little salt, and the biscuits and gravy also needed something...both the sausage gravy and biscuit were "pasty" and a little bland. The eggs were supposed to be over easy, and they were well beyond (see picture). The 50's diner décor is cool and there's a nice outdoor patio, when it's not too hot out. Overall, we still thought the food was average, but it's always packed, so go figure. NOTE: The restrooms are located outside the restaurant, within an adjoining antiques mall. It's a little bit of a tricky trek to get there, especially for older customers. read more

Looks like they took out the cinnamon in the food now, so that is good. The chili cheese omelette is still the bomb, and the county Benedict was just ok. Knock off one star for the high prices, breakfast just shouldn't cost over $20 a plate at a cafe. read more

We came here on a lazy holiday Monday, mid-morning. While we were in a lazy mood, the staff was a hustling bunch. This restaurant is unpretentious - simple and straight-forward. They are a breakfast and lunch-time operation which makes their patio perfect for their opening hours. As we ate our brunch, I could tell this was a locals' favorite. Even though the staff was quick and efficient, they had plenty of time to be personable and friendly. We shared the Vegetable Quesadilla, see my pic. What you are seeing is mostly the tortilla: is was good and held up to the steam from the veggies. The side of salsa was very mild, a bit of lingering heat and had a moderate amount of flavor. The scoop of guac was mashed a fair amount, was reasonably fresh and was mildly flavored. What you aren't seeing are the veggies and cheese inside which the Palms has the right ratio. The cheese had a higher fat content so is smooth and creamy, while the veggies still had a bit crunch. It was a fairly decent snack for mid-morning. read more

This place was amazing. Breakfast, drinks, service and ambience were excellent. We'll definitely return soon.

The absolute best restaurant I have ever had the pleasure to dine. Amazing food and the employees couldn't possibly be better. I visit the Palm several times a week for breakfast and it has been a great way to start my morning. read more

My wife and I visited The Palms Cafe in La Quinta, based on positive reviews but were disappointed with our experience. We were seated promptly, and our server was initially attentive. I ordered the two-egg breakfast with sausage, specifically asking if the sausage was homemade, and was told it was. My wife ordered the two-egg breakfast with a pancake. Food came in five minutes, but the toast lagged behind. The sausage was uniform round and greasy, clearly store-bought, not homemade as claimed. My wife's pancake was burnt outside, raw inside--cooked on too hot a grill. We asked for a new pancake; same problem. Our server never checked on us, so we had to flag someone else down. After our table was cleared we waited for the check, which never arrived. We decided to walk to the counter to pay. At checkout, a 4% card fee sign prompted us to pay cash. The staff couldn't handle cash properly, making us wait for our server to handle. Worse, yet they shorted our change without a word, which is unacceptable. I operate a small business in the valley and would never mislead or shortchange customers. The Palms Cafe needs to fix their food quality, service, and honesty. I won't recommend this place and advise others to skip it. read more

I had the new weekend special: chile relleno omelette. You must have it. I was greeted at the door, had my choice of seating, and a very attentive wait staff. It's a comfortable place (not mentioned the patio-- too cold). Nicely laid out, well designed space, comfortable booths. Really. Stay close enough to enjoy when you're in town. I'm going back when I can. read more

This place is a local favorite! Good food, large portions and great service. Because it is such a local favorite - literally, people waiting to get in all the time - the ambiance is energetic and it can be quite loud, or at least it was on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Food: We were a party of three, two ordered the BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad, and one ordered the Cobb - portions were large and filling. Service: Elizabeth, our server, Anna our hostess, and Miguel the bus staff, ensured we were satisfied and were very welcoming despite being very busy due to the popularity of the cafe. Ruben walked by and even offered to take a photo. Parking: There is free parking lot in front of the cafe. If you are looking for good food, large portions, great service, and a taste of the local vibe in a casual yet energetic environment, then you should try this cafe when you are in Rancho Mirage! read more

Really huge portion of loxs with the bagels and lox on this weekend special. Bagel wasn't anything great, but the lox made up for it. Coffee was only so so and I'm sorry, not it's 2023. You have to have internet in a café at this point. read more

Hadn't been at The Palms for a year or two. Still very good, especially the service. A little of the staff have been here for many years. We had the omelets scrambled, which come out great. They have good coffee and iced tea. The toast is a little on the small side. We tend to sit outside due to what can be a bit noisy inside. read more

My kid's and I were staying at Aqua Caliente for few days, we wanted to eat breakfast out of the resort and we were browsing online and we ended up being here. The view is okay, breezy & a tad bit of sandstorm that day, the service not so much because the first worker who tried to helped us that morning seemed a bit annoyed hahaha he's an older grandpa looking but common, I have 4 kid's here, you could at least be more nicer next time and have a little patient. The second server was a little younger than the first but he was far more nicer and had the patience, so thank you very much. Sir! Food wise, it was okay, the pancakes were yummy but the rest was just fine. read more

Probably the worst meal since living here. Maybe it's what we ordered, considering some positive reviews on Yelp - a Caesar's salad and Huevos Rancheros. Dressing and sauce from a plastic jug. Service was poor. Never came back to see how much we weren't loving it Hate to post a negative review but it seems like they get by being one of the few options lin August in the desert. read more

It was a busy weekend. My wife's omelet had burnt turkey she couldn't eat. It looked like we weren't regulars so it didn't matter. We had gone here when my parents were alive. Sorry but we won't be back. read more

The Palms is sort of one of those places that kind of tries to be all things to all people. Now, I love the automotive theme in the decor, that was awesome... our server was certainly efficient and polite enough. Food was just okay, nothing to write home about... Perhaps I'm a bit too much of a foodie to appreciate a place that does a lot of things okay, but with food that's a bit mediocre... but yeah, not a homerun, have definitely had better meals in the Coachella Valley. read more

Service is not that attentive. It's sub par Food came out slow. I've had more misses that hits with this place. My bacon and cheese omelette was a thin greasy crepe of egg loaded with crispy bacon. Hardly any cheese or egg. It was a bacon burrito. This was a horrible omelette. The two girls at the front just stand and talk. They should be helping the crew with water and coffee or grabbing the server when they are needed by the patrons. Not a great experience. Won't be back. read more
