L'Atelier Café Palm Springs
129 La Plaza, Palm Springs, CA
Crema's Take
“L'Atelier Café is a charming French-inflected neighborhood spot where the French Toast and freshly baked pastries genuinely deserve the hype, paired with some of the best matcha lattes in the desert. The casual, family-owned vibe draws locals and hotel visitors alike who appreciate unhurried mornings, friendly staff, and that perfect combination of strong coffee drinks and French-inspired comfort food in a walkable downtown location. Fair warning: it's worth the splurge, though prices lean toward the premium side.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Low-key, casual sandwich spot with a nice French twist. The staff was friendly and the service was fast. It’s also in a cute area that’s great for walking around before or after lunch. I tried the chicken sandwich and it was great—though it could have used just a little more…
Good but pricey. French Toast would have been better with Nutella served on the side. Coffee / Espresso expensive and just yeah ok. Walked there from hotel but seemed like lots of places to park when early.
Was awesome! The french chef Franc deserves a Michelin ⭐️ , the food was great i got chicken crepes and onion soup and i enjoyed it also the orange juice is really fresh! Was my first time I just came from Philly and I will come back for sure. Nancy is the best ❤️
Amazing family owned and operated French café. The food, the drinks, and the ambience are truly wonderful, and I must emphasize the French Toast! We will absolutely make the drive from LA just to eat here and enjoy the familial love! Also this is a great brunch date spot!
This place is an absolute gem in downtown Palm Springs! The breakfast menu is phenomenal. Their pastries are baked to perfection, and the matcha lattes are hands-down the best I've ever had. The service is welcoming and makes you feel right at home. We visited every single day…
