“food is great and service is great. Staff is knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free diet and tried their best to give me gluten free options. However the cross contamination issue is severe in the kitchen. I ordered items that's stated "gluten free and without cross contamination" still made me sick. It should due to cross contamination in the kitchen or some non gf sauce.”
“Food is always wonderful and service always great. Be prepared for WAY overpriced drinks. Tito's martinis must have been around $21-$22 each based on only having 3 appetizers and a total bill of $202 before tip. That's about $10-$11 per ounce of vodka. Skip the extra drinks and enjoy the food.”

Cheeky's

Farm
“We had a beautiful mid morning breakfast at The Farm. It's on par with the best that Palm Springs has to offer. Go early, we got there at about 8:40am and were seated right away. It is first come first served, and filled up quickly.Breakfast was divine, and they offer many very good menu options.We were guests of friends, but the prices were very reasonable, and the quality of the food was spot on.Get up early, and try this Palm Springs Breakfast gem.”
“Yummy vegan delights for those who don’t prefer meat. We got the veggie burgers and they were great. This tiny-but-cute store has fun plant-conscious items for sale. Friendly and enthusiastic staff.”
“Friends from Palm Springs recommended Felipe's and the four of us had wonderful food and drinks. The service was amazing and we would go back anytime! Especially loved the Enchiladas de Mole and the flan made by their Abuelita!!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Everything from the food to the decor and service was excellent. We had the fresh house made cavatelli pasta, steak for two with salt crusted potatoes, and cookies for dessert. We loved the chill vibe and atmosphere. Gabe and the team are kind, and don't rush you, which I appreciated. I will definitely be back again soon!”
“Saw this place on Guy’s DDD - One of the best things I’ve ever eaten! I had the veggie, my husband had the bbq chicken. We are in town for a wedding, will be here again before we leave. YUM!!!”

“My husband and I celebrated our shared birthday at Farm. We sat outside in the heated courtyard which was a lovely setting. There was live music which was quite relaxing and on point for the atmosphere. Our starters were off the charts delicious; I had the mushroom soup and he had the citrus salad. We also enjoyed the salmon and Wagyu steak entrees. There was a nice assortment of wines by the glass; prices were not crazy expensive. The only thing that was a bit “meh” was dessert, the cheesecake and chocolate option. It was solid, but nothing stellar. Service was great. Overall, we were very pleased with the experience and both had a wonderful birthday. Thank you to the Farm staff!”

“I had the Blackened Mahi Mahi Taco and my wife had the Roasted Vegetable Bowl with Shrimp. Both meals were excellent, as was the service from our server Scott. We’ve been to this restaurant many time and every time have been very happy with the food, the service and the vibe. Great people watching too! We highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Food was fantastic! Loved everything I tried. The vegan ceviche was especially delicious, so fresh! Lots of vegetarian options. Cannot wait to get food from here again!Vegetarian options: So many delicious vegetarian options!”
“Excellent service. Dining room was pleasant and not too loud. Chairs and table were comfortable. Food was really quite average. We were 4 and ordered stroganoff (x2), sampler and roasted veal special. We tried the cabbage salad and lentil soup. The only memorable item was the lentil soup. There aren’t many options in Palm Springs for really good food and this isn’t one of them.”
“We really enjoyed this place. First rate food and service. Our server kindly let us know that the two small plates were more than sufficient and didn’t try to upsell us on food we did not need. Highly appreciated a recognized in his gratuity. We will visit again next time we are in Palm Springs. By the way the beverages were also terrific!”

“Excellent salmon, chicken marsala and caprese salad. Super hot straight from the kitchen. A little bit loud with the band next door but that’s just part of the atmosphere. Overall a great meal. And good bread.”
Outdoor Dining
“Amazing find. Loved learning about new things like chicha morada which they make here. Large selection of authentic dishes hat the owner takes a lot of pride in. Loved the rotisserie chicken…I’ve missed that since I visited Peru!”
“Eat here if you can, it's superb start to finish, but be aware that you have to obtain your reservation at 12:01am exactly thirty days before you want to dine. (They do also accommodate some walk-ins if you show up at 4:35pm on the day you want to eat.). Everything is first rate and beautiful.”
“What a fun unique experience. Helping these adoptable cats that are there from the Palm Springs animal shelter. Make sure to buy the treats and the cats will be very happy to see you. The cat room is beautiful, clean, and no odor. Plenty of cat toys to interact with the cats. There is a fee to visit the cats, which helps pay for there care. Great time visiting them. They have coffee and some sweets. The staff was super friendly and added to the experience. This is a little hidden gem. I will definitely be back.”

“We really enjoyed our dining experience at Freddies. The ambience is warm and unpretentious. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by our server. Shortly thereafter, Freddie emerged from the kitchen to welcome us and then returned to his kitchen to cook us an amazing dinner of elk medallions and escargot. I would highly recommend Freddies to anyone wanting a great French meal.”
“Lovely staff, food was above average. So nice to not only be able to take our dog for lunch, but to also be able to order him lunch off the dog menu. Limited options for the doggos and kinda pricy for what you get but well worth a visit. My dog Nemo didn’t care - he gave them 5/5 stars!!”
“We were really happy with our experience. We didn't have a reservation, but arrived right at 5p when they opened and had no issue sitting at the bar. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, cauliflower elotes, aguachiles, and birra ramen. Everything was tasty, but the veggies were standouts. Would highly recommend stopping in.”
“We were a group of 5 and walked in. We were seated at a booth, promptly asked for our beverage order, and food order. The food came out quickly which was a pleasant surprise considering how busy it was. The hash browns were so good and the pancakes delicious!!! A must visit!”
“We had a lovely evening. Our server was a most enjoyable lady who made our dining experience delightful. Our food was prepared perfectly as always. It was a very busy evening but all wait staff had smiles on their faces like they really enjoyed what they were doing!!”
“Small cute Amazing delicious Cafe, had scram eggs potatoes and ckn sausage oh and a croissant and OMG so delicious the scram eggs were perfect ? and the croissant so flaky and buttery fresh squeeze OG delicious... service so ”
“Gorgeous restaurant with a large outdoor area for alfresco eating - great food, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. Formerly Cary Grant’s home, this is a Palm Springs institution and well worth a visit - but book ahead!”
“Enjoyed everything at the new Alice B in Palm Springs. Been a fan of Chef Susan and Chef Mary Sue for nearly 3 decades, super pleased to see them investing their talent in Palm Springs, everything they touch turns to gold. Standouts are their hamachi crudo, their cheddar biscuits, the hummus is the best I’ve had in So Cal, the surprise hit was their breaded chicken cutlet ! Phenomenal!!! Cocktails on point, beautiful contemporary interior. Excellent service too. Highly recommend you visit this special place. Definitely will return again soon !”
“This place is incredible. Period. Hands down. 100% worth checking out if you're in the area, but even worth taking a drive out for if you're a sandwich fan.Created my own Tuna (with provolone) on Dutch Crunch with all the fixings. The sandwich was incredible, but their speciality Dutch Crunch bread just sends it over the top.Also tried one of their chicken sandwiches which was also delicious.The biggest downside to this location is the difficulty in finding a seat. During my visit, there were many people finished with their meal and just sitting and talking - with such limited space it'd be nice if the shop encouraged folks to relocate once done eating - but I realize that may also be out of their hands.Even with the seating issues, this place is totally worth going to.Vegetarian options: A vegetarian would have no issue creating or finding food to enjoy!Parking: This shop shares a very small parking lot with other businesses, so it can be difficult to find a spot.”
“This place is a hidden gem in Palm Springs. The meats are full of flavor, and the falafel interior is light and creamy. The owners are welcoming and grateful for your business.”
“on a side street steps from La Plaza in downtown Palm Springs , but quiet and secluded so you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle! The chef makes delicious food, some french some asian and some an interesting combination of the two. Quiches are exquisite here as are the lightly dressed salads for lunch, which is what our party of four experienced at French Miso Cafe 3/8/24. Service was superb, with the chef himself checking with us to make sure we were happy with our meals. A hidden neighborhood gem”

Online Reservation Available
“We had lunch outside near the pool and corn hole game and think we need to go back and try the actual restaurant.We had the wedge salad and the margherita pizza. Both were ok and we like the plant forward concept. We enjoyed sitting outside and watching folks and their pups by the pool.We had a nice time and we’d like to go back so I can up the review.”
“We had a fantastic few day stay at La Serena. The rooms are large, nicely decorated and welcoming. The bathrooms are huge. We had an outdoor spa that we did not use, so no insights there. The location is great - walk to everything with plenty of great restaurants nearby. The breakfast (which was included) was very good, and we had excellent dinner and drinks at the restaurant one evening. The pool was really nice. My only complaint would be that there is not enough seating/lounges for guests. On one day at least two sets of lounges were marked reserved but no one was using them when we walked by the pool earlier and then returned to swim several hours later. So we had no seats while they sat open for more than an hour. At this price you should be able to fully use the pool.”
“We had just flown into Palm Springs so were looking for a light dinner close to our condo. The Cantina had pretty good food although we were fortunate to catch happy hour prices. Even then, a small street taco was $5. It’ll probably take me a while to get used to CA prices again although being part of the Saguaro hotel likely didn’t help. Not sure we’ll go back but it was an overall good experience.”
“When we visited Maleza for lunch, they were new and it felt like they were still getting their legs under them. There’s no maitre d, so we approached the bartender who said they were overwhelmed and service would be a while. We weren’t in a rush, so we settled in.The waiter was delightful, and the cocktail was top-notch. The food was fairly good, and despite the warning, didn’t take too long.Our only complaint was the price was somewhat high. It’s was $80ish for lunch with one cocktail.”
“This might be one of my all time favorite restaurants I have ever eaten at. Service, food and friendly staff are above the rest. Everything you order is amazing. This is a gem of a find for a delicious meal.”
“Always a treat in Palm Springs! The service is great from the valet on. Love the food and great cocktails. The service is excellent, coincidentally, we often have the same waiter which means their staff isn't turning over all the time, so they are very experienced and knowledgeable. Highly recommend”
“Love TS. Great vibe. While still great, slight dropoff was service this time around, as they appeared to be short staffed. Longer than normal wait for drinks/food and had to go to the bar to order rounds.”
“Overall like this place. The outdoor seating is nicer but too cold on our night. The pear salad was terrific, best thing we had. Entrees of spaghetti, a bit too rich, sea bass a little dry, carrots fantastic and bock choy bland and overcooked, chile relleno a bit bland. My drink was great. Decent but not exceptional but not worth the price tag.”
“Absolutely gorgeous atmosphere and service. We sat outside under the trees and bistro lights, and it was such a romantic, lovely time. Food was beautifully prepared (our group enjoyed the lobster, salmon, and lamb, and all were impeccable). We ended our meal with the Grand Marnier soufflé.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free dishes were clearly marked on the menu.”
“Food was delicious. Service from check-in by both Maitre'D and/or Manager was welcoming & professional, as well as by Nestor, our server. My friend mentioned that her friend had thought this steakhouse was the best in CV. I haven't tried others but great to hear. My guest thought it was awesome - especially the desert - a fresh fruit dish with sabayon & sweet crispy cookie-type basket.”
“Multiple visits over multiple years have confirmed one thing… Blue Coyote has my favourite margarita in the USA. Perfectly balanced sour-sweet with tequila you can actually taste. They make it by the batch so your second and third (watch out!) will taste the same as your first. Food portions are generous and very tasty too. I love the enchiladas especially. When I’m in Palm Springs, I make a point of visiting!!”
“We love the experience of the community paella, and all the other food was wonderful! Service was terrific, and we loved sitting outside. But the paella really left a lot to be desired. We love this restaurant for their tapas and go there often. And we will be back. Just not for paella.”
“We loved this lounge in Downtown Palm Springs. We liked it so much, we went two nights in a row, once for karaoke in the next night for live music. We would’ve went three nights in a row, but the third night there was nothing planned, so we went elsewhere for a little entertainment. But we did enjoy the two times that we went.”
“We drove in from LA Quinta. So thankful we found this gem! Our entire family loved all of the meals we ordered. Our server Mike!! Was the BEST. It was fun meeting the owner. Such a cool guy. Loved the blue decor. The weather was perfect to enjoy the patio. Our new favorite place.”
“Dined there last night for the 4th time. The food has always been really good. Service can be inconsistent, but last night was excellent. Mole is awesome. Can be a bit loud at times but still a great restaurant. We will return.”
“Gorgeous restaurant with a large outdoor area for alfresco eating - great food, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. Formerly Cary Grant’s home, this is a Palm Springs institution and well worth a visit - but book ahead!”
“Meal was great, service was excellent. We will be back.Parking: Meal times are crowded. Parking shared with other businesses.Kid-friendliness: Staff is very attentive and has your comfort and needs in mind.”

“My server was Precious and she did a great job. She made my dad (who suffers from Dementia) and myself very comfortable. Food was good and coffee was good. If I'm in the area, I'll be coming back because of the food and coffee but especially the ”
“FANTASTIC COFFEE AND PASTRIES!Good service and clean and bright area to sit and enjoy yourself! They also have a decent selection of food, boba, smoothies hot sandwiches, soups, salads, and pizzas, etc.Give it a try...”
“Cardenas is a good place to eat especially their ranchero burrito is my favorite give it a try you’ll like it. It’s big enough to feed two people and it only cost 11$ the taquitos are another one of my favorites. Chimichanga & Shredded beef burritos is also an another good item to try. These are what items I prefer and are one of the best.Parking: There is no problem finding parking even close up to the restaurant or you can consider the drive through. I always go in because it seems like the is better off and better quality with no mix ups when you go inside or dine in.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility is available”
“Drive thru for fast tacos was the goal.We ordered shredded beef tacos and an order of taquitos. The tacos were so good!! 9 out of 10 and the taquitos were good 8 out of 10. I’d definitely go back for that taco.We did not go inside, I rated atmosphere low based on the exterior appearance.”
“Carne asada guacamole burrito was excellent.It's rare to see a fast food owner respond to reviews. Absolutely love and appreciate your response. Thank you for taking the time to respond. It's made a huge difference. ??”
“Beans were cold in my burrito. Edit 1/19/2024: Since you were so nice to address my concerns, I stopped there this morning. Happy to report the beans were hot and tasty in my burrito this morning. Thank you for making a change and caring about the customer!”
“I’m from the east coast and we don’t have Del Taco so I thought I would give it a try. For fast food it was solid! Got the carne asada breakfast burrito and it had good flavor. The drive thru was fast and very courteous. I’m surprised this chain isn’t further east.”
“Stopped in for a shake. They had posted that they had Cadbury and truffle shakes. The counter gal knew nothing about them. It was posted to start on March 13th. Oh well, I still had an oreo shake, and our friends ordered The Shamrock ☘️ shakes.”

“It was great, family run more like a euro bistro. Coffees, teas, and croissants plus other edibles including croque monsieur, I had r a ratouille. Creme Brule. Tres bien!”
“What a treat! Great inventive food. Juan helped meet our needs at every turn. We are so grateful. I had the huarache made vegan and I loved the portobello mushrooms.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Where to start! The owner: Witty, gracious, in it up to his eyeballs. Atmosphere: Dark wood, no windows, east coast neighborhood bar vibe. Keep it smallish and charming, just as it is. And keep us waiting in line (for our own good.) Staff: Service was a ten from everyone encountered. Courteous, friendly and, they hustled! We scored bar seating and was fun to watch them. They were like a choreographed musical back there! The food & drinks were slinging and they kept it flowing effortlessly. Thanks Paul & Staff for a lovely experience.”

“The food was great, the drinks were great, but overpriced, but probably typical for the area. The service was great, and the atmosphere was good. We enjoyed the live entertainment. I would have scored them a 5, except they allow dogs in their establishment. We sat two tables away from one. It was not a service dog. Only service dogs should be allowed in eating establishments.”
“I travel far and wide to find really amazing corn beef hash that’s homemade and not from a can.Sherman delivers! The hash is flavored really well and is the ultimate comfort food! We’ll have to try out their famous sandwiches next time!”
“We love John's!! Great food, always hot (when it's supposed to be!)! One suggestion...having menus at the table! Hard to read the boards when it's at all crowded. Their burgers are delicious and we've really enjoyed their breakfast options... available anytime.”
“Expansive selection of delicious baked goods — both sweet and savory. The Hacienda sandwich and Mirage salad were a tasty lunch too!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available”
“We came to this place two days in a row because it’s reallly good!!! The breakfast burrito is only $5 and it tastes so good! We met the owner Joe and the girls that work there and they were very sweet and kind and gave amazing service! This place has great good, great service and super affordable that you leave feeling like you made a great choice!”
“Very very rarely do I hear my partner say something positive about food establishments. Today he walked back out to our car, gelato in hand and exclaimed “I love this place”. We come every Saturday before grocery shopping and will continue to do so. I love the panna cotta with either strawberry or lemon (owners recommendation) and today have a new favorite with the Carmel crème. They also have espresso for affogato and sidewalk table too. Love this place for their flavors, generous portions(for gelato) and most of all their hospitality.”
“Unique bakery with a really great staff. We tried 6 different types of donuts/pastries, and they were all exceptional. We also had a ham and cheese croissant sandwich that they warmed up for us. Definitely would go ”
“Cesar was so helpful when my big family came in for ice cream. We had a hard time choosing because it all looked so good! Cesar helped us every step of the way and was super friendly! Highly recommended!!!”
“How do you spell perfection? Lox Benedict at Thirsty Palms! Finely created artisan craftsmanship, beautifully presented and expertly prepared with egg yolks that flow gently over the layers of lox, thinly sliced red onion, and delicate green arugula. Capers are scattered on top in a bow to the lox. Hollandaise is exactly right, delicious and creamy.Side greens are dressed with a light dressing that has just a touch of tang which enhances but doesn’t distract from the Benedict star of the show.Service needs guidance. Smiles and genuine interest would be helpful.As a Benedict fan, this so far outclasses the several other restaurants I’ve tried here, even the ones with long lines waiting.Outdoor setting is pleasant, the inside is charming. Everything is meticulously bright and sparkling clean.”
“Our team called in and ordered lunch today and collectively we ordered The 3pc Fish Lunch Special with potato salad and some bomb baked beans, 3pc Wings with fries and the Mac and Cheese with some Cornbread and we were blown away. The Mac and Cheese was seriously really good. The FISH though... FIRE! Nice and juicy, crispy and not overly breaded. The pieces were pretty big! The wings were good! New spot for sure.”
“This place is a small little shop on the main strip. WOW! That says it all! The milkshake was delicious and the presentation amazing! We split a shake, but there was plenty for both of us. The flavor was amazing as ordered it taste as described. Many awards hang on the wall for a reason! They are really good at what they do! They have attention to detail in the presentation of their shakes.”
“Cozy brewery with some very dangerously delicious natural wines. Perfect little spot to chill and accidentally get too buzzed since you’re enjoying the spot and convo too much lol. Lot of seating with a lovely back patio. We were fortunate enough to be there the same time as a pop-up food tent in the back- they had this incredible vegan empanada that came with chili oil sauce that wasn’t spicy but magically capsaicin-ly delicious. Might’ve drank that. Back to the brews- bomb. Chilled red wine- buy a bottle to take home. Thank you :)”

“This was my first time at Raising Cane's. I've seen these places popping up all over the place and have been dying to see what all the hype is about. From ordering to receiving the order everyone was extremely pleasant. I must say that everything was packed nicely with all the needed sauces. The Chicken fingers and Chicken sandwich were delicious. The chicken was crunchy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. And, the Cane's sauce was addictively tasty. I look forward to coming again.”
“Live here in Palm Springs and have never given them a try. Dinner was very good. I had the lamb special and it was very good ,but over cooked for lamb. We will be back to try more of there menu.”
“We love this place. Usually the breakfast burrito. Delicious ?. However, as seems to be the norm, it seems smaller yet the same price. Many items I've had there all are consistent. That's important. ?”
“For healthy people who would never think of going into a fast food joint..go to Carl's Jr. for the Beyond Burger (vegetarian!) when you just need that big fat burger taste. Delish! Even though it's cooked to order, you can sneak in and out and enjoy in your car if you just can't be seen in a fast food joint ?”
“I have been coming to this Carl's Jr location for a couple of years now. The recent pandemic has been rough when finding a restaurant choice but at this Carl's the visit is always a safe and satisfying experience. The main reason for that is your employee Martha. Every time I come in (about twice a month) she has made the experience a safe one for both sides. Martha asks you how your day was and even repeats your order back to you. The best part: you can tell she is smiling under her mask because you can hear the warmth in her voice. I had a question on a burger to try and lower the carb intake ( I am on the keto diet) she suggests making it a lettuce wrap! The burger comes out fantastic every time and now, I only go for that lettuce wrap option! Over the entire past 2 years, she even remembers my order and makes sure it's correct in the bag and done perfectly! Martha is a bright example of being a hard working hero during the pandemic. I find myself coming to Carl's Jr more than McDonald's or Burger King because the high level of professionalism and friendliness of the Carl's Jr employees. Another employee that is standout is Daniel. He is professional, repeats your order back to you and always willing to make sure to answer any questions about a specific burger or order alteration.”
“This McDonald’s in Palm Springs is a step above the rest. It has a cool vibe with old time tv shows playing. The staff at the counter were very friendly. This crew lead named Darren was exceptional and was very nice to everybody. He treats his job like a true professional. Heather was amazing too. Keeping the place moving like a well oiled machine!Parking: Lots of parking right beside the building.”
“Experience was overall good, unfortunately I had to get off my car after going through the drive-thru because the bun on my double del was not toasted and it was falling apart.”
“This is our favorite Taco Bell of anywhere we have lived. The food is always hot and HUGE portions, plus they always get our complicated vegan order mods correct!Vegetarian options: Anything can be modded to be vegDietary restrictions: Vegan mods available and easy”
“This place has improved so much compared to 3 months ago. Rebecca is incredible. I'm truly loving all the new staff. No more chaos I seen nothing but incredible fast and great service thanks again”
“Great Food overall , friendly staff.Manager really knows how to treat customers she is really kind and has a lot of patience. The hospitality I received from this jack in the box was outstanding . Will definitely come back !!”
“I Love Jack in the Box ? I usually get 4delicious ? with hot sauceI do not even know if it’s meat ? or plant ? based but delicious ? ?Go to Jack in the Box Palm Springs ?”
“Rooster and the Pig provides an incomparable experience.The service was amazing, the drinks were amazing, and, most importantly, the food was amazing.After reading multiple reviews for other restaurants in the area, we were skeptical that Palm Springs had anything worth eating. The amazing concierge at our hotel recommended RATP, however, and it did not disappoint.We ordered two appetizers and two entrees: the fennel rolls, braised Daikon, beef nopes, and pork noodles with lemongrass.My partner also had two beers, while I enjoyed two cocktails. The medley of flavors in the food were obviously above and beyond, but the cocktails too had a blend of interesting profiles that were clearly well thought out.The entire experience was delightful and I highly recommend a visit.”

“When we visited Maleza for lunch, they were new and it felt like they were still getting their legs under them. There’s no maitre d, so we approached the bartender who said they were overwhelmed and service would be a while. We weren’t in a rush, so we settled in.The waiter was delightful, and the cocktail was top-notch. The food was fairly good, and despite the warning, didn’t take too long.Our only complaint was the price was somewhat high. It’s was $80ish for lunch with one cocktail.”
“This might be one of my all time favorite restaurants I have ever eaten at. Service, food and friendly staff are above the rest. Everything you order is amazing. This is a gem of a find for a delicious meal.”

“Loved the street taco appetizer taste and presentation. Happy they allowed carnitas exchange for the enchiladas. Bit too much green sauce but good.Great service. Fast and clean.”
“FINALLY a good coffee shop! I’ve been really struggling with finding a decent coffee shop and after all of the disappointments from what were supposed to be amazing places, I stumbled across this place with no expectations and they absolutely killed it! Coffee was great, baristas are friendly and helpful, and I will be coming back every time I’m in Palm Springs! Their syrups are homemade and they have different size cups to choose from!”
“Our family ate at Mickeys for lunch. The food was excellent and a very good value. We had the chorizo burrito, chicken burrito, chicken and beef tacos and quesadilla. All of the items had such good flavor and texture to the food. The way they cook the burritos on a grill and brown the sides gives the flour tortilla and really good flavor and texture. We will miss getting to eat there again since we were just visiting. Mickey after she cooked our meal came out and thanked us for our business before we were done and that was nice and appreciated.”
“Really cool store that sells ice cream and a lot of other miscellaneous things such as games, stationary, etc.They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from (flavors that aren't common elsewhere) - we tried the Coachella Valley Date ice cream and it was very nice.”
“Ended up in this spot kinda by accident and we were amazed by the high quality ingredients they use to create a delicious burger, everything super fresh. All 3 of us got a Single classic Smash Burger but we regret not getting a double. It was that good!Till next ”
“Shout out to coffee lovers in PS. I like helping others. Not Starbucks. Got a pour over and latte for later. Great Ethiopian flavors. Espresso was 4 shots in regular !! :) read James Hoffman book while I waited. Noticed on the third day stopping in, that they weigh for espresso. Those who know, know.”
“Our party of 6 was pleasantly surprised with this pizza joint located in the heart of Downtown Palm Springs!Parking:Parking was tough on a Friday night as there’s only a small parking lot in front shared with other busy businesses. We ended up parking in a free garage just a couple of blocks down.Ambiance/Service:Old-school pizza joint ambiance decorated with red/white checkered tables. At around 6pm on a Friday night, we luckily got seated immediately. A good amount of 2-6 person tables plus 2 person tables along the outside of this corner restaurant. There seemed to be a good number of servers walking around. However, we were seated somewhat in the corner and it was difficult to get any of their attention to order, ask for water refills, the bill, and boxes. Food came out pretty quickly though.Food:We ordered 2 large pizzas ($35). I liked how you can choose 2 flavors in 1 pizza so we ended up getting to try 4 different toppings.*Carol’s White Pizza: delicious! Ricotta cheese on top was so yummy. Our group’s favorite out of all of them.*Delilah: a light white vegetarian pizza topped with sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, olives, bell peppers, and feta cheese. It was great to eat in between the other meaty pizzas.*Charlie Sheen: red pizza topped with pepperoni, salami, bacon, chorizo, meatballs— super meaty pizza with great flavoring.*Hammer and Sickle: red pizza topped with pepperoni, sweet sausage, jalapeños, lots of cilantro and mozzarella cheese. Didn’t get to try this one but my group said they liked it.Cesar Salad ($15) dinner: large size. Perfect size for sharing amongst 6 of us while we waited for the pizzas to arrive. Properly dressed and nice flavoring.Overall:If I’m ever back in Palm Springs and wanted to grab something easy, I’d come back to this place for dine in or take out!”
“Great coffee choice near the Convention Center. Very popular spot serving food and a range of drink options. Coffee was consistently great during my stay in Palm Springs. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a good coffee when staying in the ”
“Love this place it's a local place and dog friendly. Great food friendly staff. I say we support this place and help make it a success. It's our hood.Vegetarian options: Staff accommodates with food order.Kid-friendliness: This cafe welcomes everyone including pups.”
“I love this place. I usually get a matcha iced or hot and something from the fridge cases. Chia puddings, bowls and quick snacks. This place is a must try when in Palm Springs.”
“Even though the evening was cool, we could enjoy sitting outside under the heat lamps! The food was delicious and the server was delightful! We'll be back... again!”
“I was able to get there before they closed and they had so many vegan options! Best bagel sandwich I've had in a while! Their bagels are mostly vegan except for the ones with cheese, vegan cream cheese, vegan butter, veggie toppings, and they offer oat milk!Vegetarian options: Vegan bagels, vegan cream cheese, vegan butter, veggie toppings, and oatmilkDietary restrictions: If you are dairy free, vegetarian, or vegan they have multiple options for you and they'll answer your questions too!”
“Small, artisan ice cream shop. The selection was minimal, but everyone in our group found something they loved, including kids from 9-15 years old and two people who eat dairy free. The server was lovely.”
“This is a great place. Usually go there for breakfast and get either the special or the eggs Benedict. The staff is super friendly and always helpful. I take my family here every time they come visit. Worth giving a try and see if you have a new regular place.”
“Our go to coffee spot when we stay in Palm Springs. Don’t be discouraged by the long line out the door - it moves quickly and you’ll have your order in hand sooner than you’d think. Lots of friendly staff and the overall mood is very cheerful. Pineapple coconut muffins and cold brews are a must! Can’t speak highly enough of the wonderful staff and lovely patio out back 5⭐️!”
“Always a treat in Palm Springs! The service is great from the valet on. Love the food and great cocktails. The service is excellent, coincidentally, we often have the same waiter which means their staff isn't turning over all the time, so they are very experienced and knowledgeable. Highly recommend”
“How do you spell perfection? Lox Benedict at Thirsty Palms! Finely created artisan craftsmanship, beautifully presented and expertly prepared with egg yolks that flow gently over the layers of lox, thinly sliced red onion, and delicate green arugula. Capers are scattered on top in a bow to the lox. Hollandaise is exactly right, delicious and creamy.Side greens are dressed with a light dressing that has just a touch of tang which enhances but doesn’t distract from the Benedict star of the show.Service needs guidance. Smiles and genuine interest would be helpful.As a Benedict fan, this so far outclasses the several other restaurants I’ve tried here, even the ones with long lines waiting.Outdoor setting is pleasant, the inside is charming. Everything is meticulously bright and sparkling clean.”

“Love TS. Great vibe. While still great, slight dropoff was service this time around, as they appeared to be short staffed. Longer than normal wait for drinks/food and had to go to the bar to order rounds.”

“Hit up Blaze Pizza and it didn't disappoint! They've got loads of toppings so you can go wild building your pizza. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite with the kiddos or chilling with a group, it's spot on. Plus, they've got beer and drinks if you're looking to relax a bit more.That cookie s'more? Looked amazing. The open-face oven adds a neat retro vibe to the place too, which is pretty cool. Tried the cheese pizza and meatballs - both were awesome. Definitely a go-to spot for pizza lovers.”
“Popped into Palermo's this afternoon for the first time. I usually go to the Mexican place next door when I'm dining in this area, but decided I'd give pizza in Palm Springs another shot. We've lived here for 2 5 years and never found really good pizza. Palermo's did not disappoint! This has literally got to be the best pizza I've had in the Coachella Valley. The sauce? Made by hand. The owner was making a fresh batch while I ate. Its got a clean, fresh flavor that is not heavy and not overwhelming. The tomato truly tastes fresh and not sour or too sweet. This pizza the the perfect thickness and was cooked to perfection. I read the other review where the individual ordered the pizza delivered by DoorDash and it showed up ruined. I'm not sure, about Doordash, but the owner of this establishment knows his business. I watched him lecture a Doordash driver on taking care of the pizza for 5 minutes. This man cares about his product. I highly recommend this place.”
“Nice place. Really good tacos, especially the birria. Slow cooked in a nice red sauce. Low fuss, laid back environment and nice staff.Not overhyped like a lot of the restaurants in Palm Springs.”
“After a long (hot) day on the road, Pete's Hideaway was medicine: a cool, dark bar for grownups in need of a straightforward cocktail or bottle of beer. We had a great conversation with the bartender (whose advice proved impeccable as we continued north the next day), a delicious meal that tasted like home cooked in all the best ways, and a total tab that made us feel like we'd stepped back at least a few years in time. Five stars all around.”

“A must! I totally love this bar! The atmosphere is the best one. All people are friendly, all age, all style. We come here to have fun and we do! Showtunes evening are amazing! Trivia with aunt Lyla, Karaoke with his nephew Stephen ;)... Music is not too loud and bartenders are always nice and energic. They remind you and greet you kindly. I will definitely come back next year as every years, again and again; can't wait! I told you Quadz is a must!”
“Great store and very nice owners! A grand variety of traditional mexican chips, candy, and ice cream. Come about once a month and stock up because you can’t beat their prices! Been coming for a long time and they always throw in extra chips on the house! Great customer service.”
“We had a tasty lunch here on their beautiful patio in the sculpture garden. My only critique is they didn't seem to have enough staff and the service was a bit slow, particularly when it came to having the table cleared and getting the bill.”
“Pizza is awesome here. I don't get anything else. The surrounding neighborhood is whack and uncomfortable. The prices are high but the pizza is great. For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of GOD is eternal life through Christ JESUS our LordParking: Parking can be hard at certain times”
“Do you enjoy fine dining and dancing? Well this is the place to do both! I dined here with a group of six people and we all devoured our scrumptious dinner. I had made dinner reservations but then had to change it to an hour later and they had no problem making those accommodations for us. We ordered salmon, shrimp rose pasta, calamari, fajitas, and steak. Every single plate was left bare from how delicious they were. Afterwards we enjoyed the dance floor and had a fun night. I highly recommend this spot!”
“TRYPPS is a phenomenal business. I sincerely think I have never had faster service. I am so impressed. I called Mike and I had my delivery within the hour. He is the owner and he literally dropped what he was doing to go get what I needed.I even texted Mike back later because I had questions about my receipt, and his responses were instant. It was late in the evening, and he was still working, and again his responses were prompt. I let him know how much I appreciated his customer service and that employees who can meet and even EXCEED the clients expectations these days are a dying breed. He literally did everything that he said he was going to do; again, a rarity in this day and age.Mike has the latest technology up-to-date and handles all of the business swiftly. I literally could not have asked for anything more today. If you need an excellent local courier, TRYPPS is your company.”
“Nice little local jem. It's a speakeasy bar inside Mr. lyons. It's definitely one of the nicer bars in Palm Springs. The drinks are very unique and elevated, and the bar staff is always very personable and talented. It's a great place to stop in before or after your dinner at Lyons. You can rent out the bar for private events, which is really nice as well. Don't come here hungry though, this is only a bar, no food. But you can always get food at Lyons and have a change of scenery.”
“What a gem this restaurant is! Authentic, delicious Peruvian food in a low-key, warm atmosphere—for me, this is perfect. I asked for a recommendation on chicken and had a traditional dish of shredded chicken in an amazing sauce (sorry can’t remember the name). It was SO GOOD. Highly, highly recommend! ?”
“We believe great food, great drinks, and great music make the perfect party and we wanted our wedding to be exactly that. We did several tastings and Carousel Catering blew the others away. It was simply no contest! Also, Chef David and the Event Coordinator, Allen, were such a pleasure to work with. They helped us craft the perfect menu for our guests modeled after some of our favorite NYC restaurant menus (many of our family and friends are foodies so we didn’t want to disappoint) while also staying within our budget. Our wedding was on a ranch with just one normal house kitchen as opposed to a professional set up. Despite the challenge, the food turned out amazing and was enjoyed by all!!! Many of our guests were talking about how good the food was. Their steak, chicken, vegetables and desserts were all delicious. The appetizers during happy hour were all amazing too. We would really recommend the tres major steak, the ahi tuna tacos, and the parmesan souffle, but everything tasted great. They were also very accommodating to our vegan guests, preparing a nice option for them. We would recommend them to anybody looking for wedding catering!”
“Joel was a great server this morning! Was super busy but he was quick and friendly. Food was ok lol expensive for a small portion which is why I’m only rating 4 stars. Nice view though!”

“Best American style sushi in PS. The food is all so good. We love the appetizers and the rolls. The service is really good. Outdoor dining preferred because the indoor dining is cramped and a bit too noisy for conversation.”
“Overall like this place. The outdoor seating is nicer but too cold on our night. The pear salad was terrific, best thing we had. Entrees of spaghetti, a bit too rich, sea bass a little dry, carrots fantastic and bock choy bland and overcooked, chile relleno a bit bland. My drink was great. Decent but not exceptional but not worth the price tag.”
“Absolutely gorgeous atmosphere and service. We sat outside under the trees and bistro lights, and it was such a romantic, lovely time. Food was beautifully prepared (our group enjoyed the lobster, salmon, and lamb, and all were impeccable). We ended our meal with the Grand Marnier soufflé.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free dishes were clearly marked on the menu.”
“I was a guest at my friend's 50th wedding anniversary so we had a private party upstairs everyone was so friendly the wait staff was incredible food was delicious I would highly recommend it as a venue for a special ”
“My husband and I celebrated our shared birthday at Farm. We sat outside in the heated courtyard which was a lovely setting. There was live music which was quite relaxing and on point for the atmosphere. Our starters were off the charts delicious; I had the mushroom soup and he had the citrus salad. We also enjoyed the salmon and Wagyu steak entrees. There was a nice assortment of wines by the glass; prices were not crazy expensive. The only thing that was a bit “meh” was dessert, the cheesecake and chocolate option. It was solid, but nothing stellar. Service was great. Overall, we were very pleased with the experience and both had a wonderful birthday. Thank you to the Farm staff!”
“Great experience overall. Service was excellent! After COVID, we have really struggled to find restaurants that offer great service—Melyns hit the mark. Our steaks (one ordered medium, one ordered medium rare) were switched but it all worked out. Martinis were delicious! Made my husband's birthday extra special.”
“The food was amazing. Our waiter was great. Fun place go eat. Just one thing, staffing everywhere in PS is limited, so you're going to wait to be waited on.”
“Nice atmosphere and view. Awesome corn chowder soup. Taste had a slight kick to it. Artichoke & Asparagus ravioli had good flavor. Rib eye was perfect. Roasted red potatoes had a good char on the outside but were a little chewy. Tiramisu was delicious. All the staff were attentive and also answered questions about the Mountain Station. Pricey but understandable as everything has to be carried up the mountain.”
“Eat here if you can, it's superb start to finish, but be aware that you have to obtain your reservation at 12:01am exactly thirty days before you want to dine. (They do also accommodate some walk-ins if you show up at 4:35pm on the day you want to eat.). Everything is first rate and beautiful.”
“I had the Blackened Mahi Mahi Taco and my wife had the Roasted Vegetable Bowl with Shrimp. Both meals were excellent, as was the service from our server Scott. We’ve been to this restaurant many time and every time have been very happy with the food, the service and the vibe. Great people watching too! We highly recommend this restaurant.”
“Even though the evening was cool, we could enjoy sitting outside under the heat lamps! The food was delicious and the server was delightful! We'll be back... again!”
“We love this restaurant for special occasions. The food last night was so delicious, the cocktails were great and the wine list comprehensive. The ambience is great. We were seated at a banquet so it was very romantic. The only thing that could improve was the service. Our server was very soft spoken and difficult to hear.”
“The special of the day was an artichoke and it was outstanding. I hadn't had one for years. The onion soup was great but we had only ordered one. We said nothing. The mussels were very small. All in all I would go back.”
“I travel far and wide to find really amazing corn beef hash that’s homemade and not from a can.Sherman delivers! The hash is flavored really well and is the ultimate comfort food! We’ll have to try out their famous sandwiches next time!”
“Delicious food and great service. Unfortunately, really very loud and that made for challenging conversations. No need to add loud music!Parking: Great to have parking right behind the restaurant!”

“It's a beautiful outdoor space. I'm for biased for sure, because nothing is nicer than coffee on a sunny morning. My cappuccino was excellent, cinnamon biscuits not so. It was soggy. To be to my taste, it should be more dry. Service was good. You order on the counter and the server will bring you to your table.”
“Best restaurant in Palm Springs. Food is incredible, prices are reasonable (especially for drinks), and the service is truly phenomenal. Jacqueline and Tulio treated us like one of the family and went above and beyond. Couldn’t be happier with our experience and will 100% be back anytime we are in town!”
“This place is amazing. We were a group of 7. Everyone ordered something different and each meal was amazing. The cocktails were fabulous. Our server, Nate was exceptional. So professional and attentive to our group which elevated the experience.We will definitely return.”

It’s really nice to go a place where take good care of you, with a nice smile and always attentive. These girls are the heart of this restaurant!! Wonderful food, excellent service, great atmosphere. I will return again and recommend it 100%.”
