Crema's Take
“This beloved Palm Springs institution captures the classic desert diner spirit with vintage charm—think old classic cars adorning the booths and retro photos on the walls—making it as much about the vibe as the food. The breakfast and lunch offerings are consistently solid with quick service when it's running smoothly, though quality can be uneven depending on when you visit, and the energetic crowd means you'll often find locals lined up to snag a seat on the patio. If you're after that authentic, nostalgic California breakfast spot experience with bottomless mimosas and good people-watching, it's worth a try, just maybe visit during quieter hours to avoid the chaos.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Breakfast or lunch you can't go wrong. Service is fast and fantastic overall, food cobes out quick. We've had burgers and a variety of the breakfast and everything is always great. It was hard to leave as the food was so good we couldn't stop and the portions are generous. We…
Good food, local staple, cheap bottomless champagne (one cheap bottle) - but if you want mimosas, the juice costs extra. Service is usually pretty good, but sometimes if it’s busy, you have to wait a bit, but food usually comes out fast once ordered. Prices have increased too…
This place is a local favorite! Good food 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…
The Palms Cafe has a very cute and authentic feel to it. With the old classic cars on the booths and classic photos on the wall. We were greeted and seated right away. Great attention to detail. Absolutely great customer service. Delicious food. They also have patio seating…
