“One of the best, consistent breakfast spots in the coachella valley! Extensive menu options, from comfort food to healthy. Ordered spinach omelet, potatoes and toast. Portions are large, so had enough to take home!”

“The bread is really great, although the sandwiches had some interesting flavors which didn’t quite hit the mark. I’d return to buy loafs of bread.”

“I came in here with my wife and this place is really good, the food was excellent, our smoothies where delicious, the 2 guys behind the counter are excellent with their customer service, the atmosphere is soothing, and being a dj, the music was on point.
Thanks guys we’ll be back again.

Ale was incredible. She was so polite and attentive. She provided the best service I’ve had in a long time. I can’t wait to come back.”

“We stayed nearby in La Quinta for a week and came here just about every single morning, even on the weekends when the line stretched over an hour! It's well worth it and understandable why it's so popular. I tried the lavender latte, viet coffee, matcha latte, and croissant breakfast sandwich several times - all solid. Everything coming out of their kitchen turned our heads 'cause it looked so good.

FYI it's counter service and open seating. No reservations.”

“The best place to eat in the DESERT FOR VALUE....everything is very good and prices are very reasonable for the value...”

“Wait staff was great. Very attentive to our needs. Thank you.”

“Excellent real Italian restaurant. The food was delicious, the cocktails were fabulous and the desserts were to die for. I had the spaghetti and clams, which were fresh and marvelous. We had the honor and the pleasure of meeting the owner, Jack. He treated us like long-lost family and we immediately loved him. He’s very gracious and kind and he made our dining experience much more memorable and happy.
I’m impressed with the atmosphere. Very chic and very comfortable. Everything is extremely clean and well taken care of inside and outside.
I recommend this restaurant to the highest extent.
I look forward to returning here because it simply feels like “HOME”!
There is ample outside parking, as well as many handicapped spaces.”

“My far away the best French restaurant in the valley. My wife and I have been coming here for the last five years since we moved in La Quinta. Food and service is always been consistently good. However, this past year it has been exceptional. The service, ambience and food have been even better than in the past. The menu is a traditional French menu. Everything on the menu is worth having. The hostess was very friendly last night. We have always asked for Evan as our server. He was out sick. We met Ray for the first time last night. Sublime service. Friendly, knew the menu inside and out. Enhanced our experience. The only complaint I have is that they will be closing for the summer in May and will not reopen until sometime in September. We will for sure be back in the fall. ”

“Pastry here hit the spot!

Along with a hot Vanilla Latte, I ordered a blueberry muffin- “warm please”. It was delicious, soft and airy, with a nice amount of blueberries. It’s a good portion size and I only ate half, the rest of the portion I had the following morning… it was still fresh, soft and airy. If you have a sweet tooth for blueberries, the Blueberry Muffin is a good choice.

This location has a drive thru, the barista who took our order car side had such a great attitude, very polite and friendly. Considering the triple digit weather, his customer service was stellar!

Aside from the muffin, I ordered a hot Vanilla Latte. It was okay, it was an ordinary drink.

If you’re ever in La Quinta, I would suggest stopping by.”

“Nothing particularly different. Small and local. Service was great, food was good!”

“the burgers.... are the best, your choice of toppings.”

“Margaritas are the best. Great selection of food.”

“The "5 Sisters" that originated from Michigan, meet once a year in California... The California sister and her husband treated us to the Lavender Bistro for Valentines Day. We were met at the door with long stem roses and seated promptly in the outdoor patio. So beautiful, every tree limb was lit up, the waitstaff was very attentive and kind. The Brick walls were lined with blooming bougainvillea, couldn't have been more perfect. The "Set" Menu had something for every taste. Our appetizers and meals were delicious. The 4-piece dessert was a real treat!! I can't wait to visit again!! Thank you Lavender Bistro!!!”

“Did you guys ever open the bar outside?”

“Come over to our new Facebook Page 🥰”

“After trying a few breakfast spots in La Quinta, we found The Bunker Bar and we stopped looking.

The views overlooking the golf course are beautiful and make for a relaxing breakfast, no matter where you’re seated. While the food presentation was simple, the flavor more than made up for it.

I ordered the egg muffin sandwich with hash browns and fresh fruit, and everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious. My husband had the All-American Breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed his meal as well. The coffee was excellent, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and let us choose our table.

The biggest compliment I can give is that we came back every morning for the rest of our stay. If we’re ever back in La Quinta, this will definitely be our breakfast spot.”

“Wanted to send a shout out to the La Quinta Cliffhouse for their generosity and kindness towards us Veterans on Veterans Day. While some establishments offer a free trinket or something on Veterans Day, the Cliffhouse offered Vets a complete dinner at absolutely no cost. If members of the Military and/or Veterans are important to you, please patronize the La Quinta Cliffhouse in the near future. They care and are the best.”

“Fabulous steak and seafood”

“I loved his food and the music!”

“Took our neighbors for their 40th anniversary. Even though they’ve lived in the valley for multiple decades, they had never been there (which is what I had hoped so as to surprise them). Took us newbies (less than 3 years) to introduce them to one of the valley’s hidden gems. They were captivated and very impressed and appreciative of their dining experience at this lovely setting. Each of us had a different entree and everyone was super pleased with their choice. Our guest has named Melange her new favorite restaurant.”

“We went to Taco Bell and I got the new chicken nuggets with some great dipping sauce. My grandson got his food and he loves Taco Bell and we both like it so that's where we went”

“Always a pleasure to nosh on the world’s best sourdough, fabulous coffee or mushroom tea, and inspirational little shoppe.”

“Every time I go Basil Thai, I'm always impressed by each prepared dish. Each entree I have had has its own unique flavor and taste absolutely delicious. You will not be disappointed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“7 months ago-Edit This is so much more than a sandwich or lunch. This is high quality products at a fair price. More over, the staff is friendly and the owner is so involved in the community and so giving and philanthropic. I cannot help but want to solicit his business more because of this!”

“Nachos with Steak with the beans under all the chips tasted really good... Campechana was just right... Piña a la parrilla was badas.. cooked good... Nothing was burned.. 1st time at Mariachi and definitely recommend...”

“Love this spot. Best smoothies and great service. I love the evergreen smoothie!”

“Angelica rocks her customer service! Every time we go there, we ask to be seated in her section, and Angelica waits on us as if we are family. If she's not training new wait staff, she sure should be.

Kristopher the manager backs up his staff in every way, which shows how he leads by example. I've worked with the public all my life, including waiting, and I know exceptional service when I experience it.

On top of all of this, the atmosphere and food are excellent.”

“James is a great waiter and Frank and the manager is also constantly walking around making sure everything is well-maintained around this restaurant 👌😁”

“Yummy Benedicts and quiche, and the beignets reminded us of New Orleans. You can forget you’re facing a parking lot with the lovely fountain gurgling and the comfortable cushions for the chairs.”

“Food was excellent!! The service was little slow but it was very busy. Nice otherwise!!😋🥰”

“Food is always great, service can be spotty sometimes even though the place isn’t huge.

But best sushi in the Desert that I’ve found and I’ve tried so many”

“Delicious! Great environment and friendly staff. Not too expensive either. Clean and lots of options. Very good!”

“We went there tonight for the first time after getting a flyer for them. The dining area is clean and nice decor but a bit crowded when navigating between tables. We were asked for our drink order right away, and it delivered quickly. The male server came to take our order but we were not quite ready yet since this was our first visit and wanted to look over the menu. The server turned and left in a huff 🙄, sorry we were putting him out… Later a different server came to take our order. Again, I felt we were putting her out as well, not very hospitable or welcoming. Our meal arrived and it was very good; we really enjoyed it. Unfortunately after the meal was delivered our server went missing in action, no check back or refill on our drinks. In fact she was so busy chatting with the table behind me that she just reached over to set the bill for the meal on our table without breaking stride in her conversation with the other table. When it was time to go we asked for to-go containers for what we had not eaten; again I felt like we interrupted her as she returned with the containers dropped them on the table, turned and walked away. Later she returned to pick up our payment, not a thank you or how was your visit just grab and go. Bottom line for us, while the food was very good, well prepared and presented. The service was very underwhelming. We will have to think about returning for a second visit.”

“Good Food! great views! free coffee! Good looking people ;)”

“Great customer service all smiles and super fast at least for me it was. This was my experience..Wooooooooooooo!!”

“Best Vietnamese restaurant in the area. This is my go-to spot whenever I’m nearby. I always order the beef pho, but the chicken pho and spring rolls are excellent too. Special shout-out to the amazing service and the warm, welcoming atmosphere.”

“This is some the best Korean food I have ever had. Our group got the beef bulgogi, yakisoba noodles, spicy pork bulgogi. Everything was excellent and we left full with plenty leftover. Service was outstanding everyone was friendly and attentive. We can’t wait to go back”

“Daniel is an amazing barista and honestly the best at this Starbucks! He’s always very friendly and makes every visit great. He really does care about customers and their orders.”

“It’s like cheers, where everyone knows your name😊 friendly staff”

“Great friendly staff and spectacular Thai food”

“VONS is the best place to shop, & I am Awesome of what I do, as a courtesy Clerk”

“Best Watermelon Chamoy in the City of La Quinta”

“5 ***** , great authentic Ramen. Friendly service, very attentive . I had the spicy torakachi Ramen..very good 👍 large portions too ..”

“I loved their cold brew coffee! It's hard to find a place where coffee tastes so good on its own,bI didn't even need milk or sugar. My friend had the Vietnamese coffee with oat milk, and she loved it too. I recently traveled to Vietnam and drank Vietnamese coffee every day, so I was excited to find a place that does it so well. The only thing I'd love to see is a salty coffee added to the menu. 😉😘”

“Mainstreet Coffee is such a special place, and so much of that comes down to the people. John, Shanty, and Jay consistently bring so much kindness, warmth, and care into every interaction.

There is something really meaningful about walking into a place and feeling genuinely welcomed, not just as a customer, but as a person. John is incredibly kind and thoughtful, Shanty brings such a warm and caring presence, and Jay is always so welcoming and wonderful to interact with.

It’s the little things—the smiles, the conversations, remembering people, and taking the time to connect—that make such a difference. Their kindness creates an atmosphere that feels comfortable, genuine, and full of heart.

I’m deeply grateful for John, Shanty, and Jay and for the care they put into making Mainstreet Coffee such a welcoming place. They truly make the experience special.”

“Yummy Benedicts and quiche, and the beignets reminded us of New Orleans. You can forget you’re facing a parking lot with the lovely fountain gurgling and the comfortable cushions for the chairs.”

“A wonderful place to visit!! Strengthen your health, and support local!!!”

“I want to give a shoutout to Martin at the La Quinta Jamba Juice — he’s always so friendly, professional, and on top of my orders every time I come in. You can tell he actually cares about great customer service. Honestly, he’s the reason I keep coming back! The rest of the staff could definitely improve their attitudes, but Martin truly stands out and deserves recognition for the great job he’s doing.”

“Haven't been here in years. It really has gotten better! We definitely enjoyed our lunch. The spicy honey mustard grilled chicken sandwich was fantastic.

“I have been getting threatening texts from an old boyfriends brother who I haven't seen in 30 years. He accuses me of being the lover of Michelle Salvatore and says a lot of horrible things about her. I googled her and it brought me here. Then I see his review defending her honor calling himself Pastor David Spencer DeHoyos. WOW! Its like someone who steals from you then helps you look for what they took. Michell this is your rumor culprit. You must have turned him down before. Smart girl.”

“Absolutely the best ice cream ANYWHERE! Always love getting ice cream here. Things have gotten so expensive these days and Handles value cannot be beat! One final note….we went through the drive thru and were helped by the nicest most incredible young lady EVER! I believe her name is Sammy. If she is an example of the type of people Handles employs, then they are as good at hiring employees as they are at making ice cream.”

“Yummy drinks at a good price. The staff are very nice and helpful and service is pretty quick.”

“We went to LQ Bakery when it was open for dinner and was disappointed when it stopped serving dinner, tried Norma's for take out ,it was delicious, we'll be going back to enjoy a nice sit down dinner soon.”

“When we walked in we were greeted by a very excellent server Zachary. He was extremely friendly and very patient waiting for us to decide what we want to eat. We selected the two chicken tenders and french fries to split just cause we were getting a snack while we’re waiting for our dog to get trimmed. My wife got mild and I got medium. Both were delicious. However, I will say for me as I’ve gotten older. I cannot handle the hot as well so I used to so it was probably at my limit. I enjoy the experience in the place was extremely busy.”

“The food the atmosphere and the place itself all a fantastic experience in every way. We enjoy the full customizable level to the food in regards to the sauces simply add a sauce and transform your meal completely then next time add a different sauce and change it again fantastic.”

“They have good food and drinks and a very good service”
