“Really great interior very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, great service with a great staff and really tasty menu! We’ve only had breakfast there, but it was really worth the stop!“

“Everything about our meal was perfect! We had the Sunshine McGriddle and the Biscuits and Gravy. The fries, the sauce, the syrup. ✨ everything ✨ was cooked perfectly and had wonderful flavor. Fantastic service too! Most recommended!“

“An afternoon brunch spreading like butter
Between glossy buns,
time melts softly
One bite~
then warm, quiet comfort
Like the salad beside it,
we smile lightly,
live a little playfully
Under the weekday sun,
with nowhere to rush~
we savor
today, slowly 🍔✨“

“The food was sooo good. The service was great they were really on top of it and the inside was so cute and I’d definitely recommend“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Epic vibes, Filipino soul, and community magick in full effect!! 🇵🇭💫 The moment you walk into The Social Cafe and Play Lounge, you’re met with warmth, color, and kapwa (deep soul connec“

“Frisky Business’s byline—“Where Cats, Community, and Kindness Come Together”—truly encapsulates not only its business philosophy; but also what it is like to visit here. Whether it’s for a refreshing coffee drink and tasty pastry; spending some time playing with in-house cats (for a reasonable fee); or attending one of the special events, it’s always a fun and enjoyable experience. On top of that (and reflecting the values of “Mr and Mrs Frisky”), there is a “pay it forward” board where one can purchase a drink or cat visit for someone who might need some support; and a pantry box where cat food donations can be dropped off for those who can use it or who feed community cats. I recommend Frisky Business to my local friends; and it’s a must “to do” when visitors come to town. It’s a great place owned by great people.“

“I love everything about this place!!! Great food, delish drinks, super fun, creative decor, good service and lovely ambience!!! One of my favorite places in the desert!“

“Go now! This place not only has great donuts, but a beautiful kind staff. It is so hard to find places that actually care for their customers. This place checks all the boxes! The woman who I believe is the owner is so nice and caring. She even through in extra donuts so they wouldn't go to waste at the end of the day. They could do what every other company does and toss them or sell them cheaper. Swiss Donuts goes above and beyond on thinking of others.“

“THIS HUSBAND AND WIFE.......EXCUSE ME...... THIS WIFE AND HUSBAND TEAM ROCK THE VALLEY!!!! BEST EATS BY FAR!!! LOVE THESE PEEP'S!!!!“

“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Mon Amour Cafe on our interview date. Do you have an affinity for crepes? Do you like getting a bang for your buck? Well, Westwood’s Mon Amour Cafe offers both and boy will you not be disappointed. Nestled in the heavily populated neighborhood close to UCLA, this build your own crepe shop offers a variety of recipes to fit your mood. Whether you’re looking for something savory, or want to give into your sweet tooth like I was (in which I opted for the Nutella, strawberry, banana and ice cream infused Broxton), vistors of all ages and backgrounds will be able to find something to enjoy. But that’s not the best part! Mon Amour is open late Friday-Sunday, so you have plenty of opportunity to nab yourself a treat after a show at the Regency Village Theater or Geffen Playhouse Theater, a sporting event at the college, or let’s be honest, after a long night of partying.“

“Possibly the best family-oriented mexican restaurant on the Palm Desert strip. A warm and understanding service staff, as well as terrific music in the evenings that allows the kids to dance and go a little crazy. You've got to hand it to Las Casuelas Cafe, they've kept the music going in Palm Desert. And their serving sizes should be considered large. With a roomy climate controlled porch, it's never uncomfortable. Yup, it can get busy. But I've watched the staff handle hungry chaotic crowds perfectly. That takes experience and a staff that has worked together many years. This certainly must be a tribute to the owner of the restaurant; who really is committed not only to his restaurant, but the community that it serves. But honestly, It comes down to the guacamole, doesn't it? Las Casuelas Cafe has the best!“

“Went for a birthday breakfast quick and attentive staff good food good cinnamon role all around good people“

“As a brand new Palm Springs resident; it took me passing by a few times before I noticed this groovy little store/cafe tucked into a strip center near Ralphs Suoermarket. I am so glad i didn’t pass them by today, but instead stopped for healthy and filling lunch. The Veggie burger and side of potatoes were well seasoned, with a great flavor and quite filling. The staff was friendly and the store seemed to have a great mix of natural and healthy products. A great find. I’ll be back!“

“Stopped in for lunch and had the aspen turkey sandwiches. They also gave us a sample blueberry muffin. Jennifer and Melissa were fantastic and the ambiance was positive and upbeat.
Great lil bakery and sandwich stop.
Highly recommended“

“It is the best boba in the valley! I will go back all the time! Great location, friendly and knowledgeable team working! Who needs a burger when you can have a boba from Dragon Lili!“

“Not only were the food, coffee, service, and ambiance outstanding, but the integrity of the people here is just as remarkable. I accidentally left my wallet behind, and a day or two later the owner, Mike, had safely kept it and even shipped it back to me. Truly above-and-beyond service. I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“very nice brunch location! its tucked away next to the trader joes, so theres lots of parking. jackie was super nice and welcoming as we came in and throughout our meal! on top of that, the food was delicious 🙂‍↕ the country fried steak was tasty and the strawberry cheesecake pancakes were so fluffy. the highlight was the biscuits and gravy! it was so flavorful! would love to visit again :)“

“The crepes here are like no other delicious and creative as well“

“My server, Elizabeth, was a queen and treated me like a princess. They recommended the lemon ricotta pancakes and they did not disappoint. So light and lemony. All in all, I really enjoyed my breakfast and would recommend it to anyone visiting PS. And we need more Elizabeths in this world ❤️“

“Probably the best brownie in the brownie universe. Well accompanied by a wow of chocolate, ginger and oatmeal cookies. Sandwiches, breads and muffins: the zen trifecta of Palm Springs best of the best.“

“UPDATE! They refunded the extra tip. Thank you for doing the right thing.

We recently had a goodbye dinner at Al Dente Trattoria for a couple from our snowbird park. There were nine of us, and overall the food was good. Everyone ordered full meals, and the service was acceptable, especially considering the restaurant was relatively empty.

Before dining, we had all requested separate checks. What we did not realize was that the restaurant automatically added a 20% gratuity for parties over six people. Three people in our group noticed this and did not add an additional tip. Unfortunately, three of us did not catch it and ended up tipping more than 20% on top of the already-added 20%.

The next morning, after realizing what had happened, I called the restaurant right away. I explained the situation politely and asked if they could remove the extra tip from my bill, as I had also left cash. I was only speaking for myself, not the rest of the group. The woman I spoke with was very pleasant and told me she would look into it and get back to me.

Unfortunately, I never heard back, and the charge went through unchanged. As a result, our waitress received approximately a 40% tip on three fairly large bills.

I fully understand that I should have noticed the automatic gratuity myself, and I take responsibility for that. However, once the restaurant was made aware that several guests had clearly made the same mistake, I had hoped they would show some goodwill and help resolve it. Since nothing was done and no follow-up was provided, I am rating this restaurant one star based on the way the situation was handled from an ethical and customer service standpoint.“

“It has been a minute since I've been to the Renaissance Esmeralda here in Indian Wells. I'm not a big fan of the colossal golf/spa/resort complex of which this is a good example, but Goldenvoice puts people here for Coachella and Stage Coach so I've stayed here a couple times. This lobby espresso bar is new from last time, a welcome addition because I also got a room service breakfast from here (50) and it was capital P pathetic, so just send someone down here and get a coffee and whatever from this place and save yourself 40 dollars.Also this is one of those locations where leaving to go to Starbucks is a major production so having something serviceable in the lobby is great.“

“Goody's is great. I've never eaten anything off the menu that I didn't like. There's multiple Goody's across the valley, this one happens to be across the street from the Flying J truck stop and makes it convenient for drivers to whom I would say, I would highly recommend eating there before tanking up on the fast food joints that are just down the street. Breakfast, lunch or dinner there's something for everybody and they serve it all, all day long.“

“Location:Good. parking:Good, Covid 19 practices: in place ( no gaters or other face coverings accepted but basic earstrap) Food for Price:Okay, Overall: For a first time try I did like the meal served. I thought the price was fine for what you get. I would come back again to try other items on the menu....“

“Good was pretty good. Got a salad and a wrap. The crunchy chicken wrap is okay it’s basically bagged salad with well done chicken tenders cut into chunks it’s tasty I give it a 8.5/10 chicken Caesar was great too. Beautiful presentation. Taste was good 9/10. Fries were nice and crispy. Now the service. The girl taking orders really needs to work on her tone and attitude. That’s the only reason I did not give a 5 stars.“

“Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! Had the Coachella sandwich, so fresh (did I mention how fresh the food is?) and crispy. The lemon poppy- moist and delicious with a slightly crunchy top. Cinnamon loaf- nice consistency, not too sweet. I was driving home and the wife and I almost turned around to get another Coachella! Nice girls too!“

“Today, was our first visit to the Panera Bread. We were amazingly surprised that Italian sandwich is soooo delicious! Yes, it's kinda expensive, but DELICIOUS!!! Iced coffee as good as Starbucks, which we like the most. And cool strawberry lemonade is so good! Before we go, I read too many negative comments and tbh, I didn't expect anything good.
Panera Bread, you changed our opinion to the best! Hopefully see you soon!“

“As Panera locations go, this one is above average. It's clean, cozy, and pretty efficient.

You can order at either the counter, or the self service kiosks. Your order is then tracked on a screen so you don't have to wait blindly with a number.

The employees were friendly and quick. The dining area was tidy and inviting, and didn't have that weird chaotic energy you sometimes get from Panera locations.

The food, well, it's Panera. It's fine. It's pretty good. No surprises there. I'd happily return to this location, as I have been to many, many worse!“

“This is a little quick grab and go place within the Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa. We stayed for the week and this was my go to latte place. I ordered an oat milk latte and it was perfect-not too strong. They serve Joshua Tree coffee. The coconut chia pudding was also delicious. I was told the Palms cafe and other restaurants at this resort were recently renovated in the past year. Love that the Palms opens at 6 AM.“

“Still the BEST Greek Salad in town. My first time back since the lock down... Service was excellent, thank you!“

“Had a great salad on the patio. Waitress was excellent, very helpful and pleasant!“

“I go there for lunch whenever I'm in Palm Desert. The soup and salad are the best!!They are very GF friendly, and our service was outstanding. The desserts are out of this world, even the GF deserts! I highly recommend a visit !“
