Don & Sweet Sue's Cafe

​Stepping into Don & Sweet Sue's Cafe is like being instantly welcomed into a friend's home. The welcoming atmosphere is immediate—it’s cozy, bright, and just the right level of bustling, making it a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends.
​What truly sets this place apart, however, is the outstanding customer service. The staff are incredibly attentive without being intrusive. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely looked after. They were quick to offer recommendations, check on the table, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their work, which adds so much positivity to the experience.
​And then there's the food—it’s genuinely amazing. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and well-prepared. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with hashbrowns with a side of buttermilk cakes and sausage, and was blown away by the quality and flavor of every single item; it’s clear they use high-quality ingredients and take pride in their menu.
​If you’re looking for fantastic food served with a smile in a lovely, cozy environment, you absolutely must stop by. Don & Sweet Sue's Cafe in Cathedral City is a new favorite!

A nice sit down in or outside place. The server I had was great, just as pleasant as could be. The food was so so.

The food, the omelette was pretty darn good, lots of good ingredients, enough to share.
The hash browns are not good at all. The potato used was dry and tough a bit and didn’t cook up well. How is this being served? Does the cook and owner not understand the difference between great hash browns and this (opposite)?
The gravy added is from a can and tasteless.
The toast is low quality bread. And the dreaded Smuckers tray… nothing decent for spread.

The server was super and tried with a new side of hash browns, again it’s bad.
The owner needs to try their own food or get someone who understands the difference to correct a few letdowns in the food.
The course pepper barely comes out of the pepper shaker.

Great find! Food and service amazing. I had the beast eggs Benedict and everything was cooked to perfection. Those almond French toast OMG! Delicious. The pancakes so good, Buttermilk taste. The cali club sandwich was so big but so good. Everything was amazing. The place is cute, dog patio friendly. Definitely will come back here. I wanted to come back the next day 🤣. They make homemade Everything Cinnamon rolls and biscuits and the bacon was nice and crispy not greasy.

Friendly service and good breakfast. Everything was fine. Solely the orange juice was not satisfying. The lady said it is freshly prepared (by machine, not by hand) but it had a convenience taste to it and didn’t taste like freshly squeezed. However I can’t prove this and it was only the orange juice. Would return!

Lovely place Wait time was Awesome was able to be set quicklyJennifer our server was amazing, beautiful spirit and smile, but I would have to say the food was..Meh.,
Order the steak and eggs, medium well
Let’s just say the steak wasn’t staken.. Hashbrowns were crispy on the outside mushy on the inside ordered a BLT to go. It was good, but the bacon was extremely salty …. Nice spot, but probably won’t frequent again

I'm visiting Palm Springs from Virginia (Suffolk). To be honest, I was trying to find a restaurant I ate at a couple of years ago and stumbled on this jewel of a joint. I got the French toast with tropical fruit, sausage links, and some OJ to wash it down. The waitress sounded like she was a Retiree straight out of New England, very nice. Their menu had everything but the kitchen sink. The food came fast and it was good. As a side note: To the gay couple that was leaving while I was eating. No offense intended by the look on my face when ol'boy stepped out in the black booty, I've been naughty, shorts. I'm from Virginia; you kinda caught me off guard. Whatever blows your hair back Gus.😁

We were looking for a place for breakfast and we found this place. Great atmosphere, the hostess greeted us with big smile & was friendly. Our server was named Diane. She was AWESOME! Friendly, upbeat & had great recommendations for food. When we were leaving she gave us a couple of treats for our dog. Don & Sweet Sue’s is a great place to go. Big portions great flavors & prices are reasonable. 👍🏻👍🏻.
