Crema's Take

Sunshine Cafe is a beloved Palm Springs institution that nails the classic diner experience with genuinely delicious food and coffee, making it equally perfect for a quick caffeine fix or lingering over breakfast with friends. This cozy, no-frills spot shines brightest in the morning with a full breakfast menu and daily specials that keep locals and visitors coming back, though fair warning that service can be a bit uneven depending on when you visit. It's the kind of place that feels like a hidden gem despite its popularity, with a warm, unpretentious vibe that welcomes families and solo coffee seekers alike.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The food was satisfactory. I would like have had steak for dinner. I was surprised they did not offer it. The person running things was my waiter. He was friendly. He could have been slightly more attentive. The restaurant wad very clean and well-kept.

Sunshine Cafe does bring the Sunshine to its dishes. This lowkey, cozy, and hidden location is a gem in the Cathedral City area. This was my first time at this diner and the food was very memorable. I want to go back for seconds, but the portions they offer won't let you fit it…
