10 Best Cafes in Palm Desert

“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!“

“SIL and I spent the weekend in Palm Desert to attend a concert and we are always looking out for new places to eat. This place did not disappoint! Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by a nice gentleman and he showed us to our table and gave us all the names of his employees that day and told us if we didn’t like a service to be sure to let him know. Dani was our server and our food was brought out quickly to our table and it was nice and hot. Pancakes were a good size and the meals were satisfying. Dani was pleasant and checked on us to ensure we were satisfied or needed anything else. Very good menu selection. Something for everyone. We got there around 9 o’clock on a Saturday and it was not crowded.“

“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!“

“Great service. Yummy food. Reasonable price.“

“Absolutely loved the drinks at Tea n Tea! The Ube Oreo drink was creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced — such a unique and delicious flavor. The pineapple drink was refreshing, light, and perfectly tropical. Everything tasted amazing!

The lady who helped us was so sweet, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Great drinks and wonderful customer service — definitely coming back! 🧋🍍✨“

“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!“

“I can't believe I've lived here 7 years; and haven't been to this Goody's. The one in Palm Springs is lacks luster and ehhh. But this one, is awesome sauce!! Thanks for your fresh hot food, and amazing service... Cleanliness and teamwork!! And how many regulars you have!! Amazing! - You guys rock, n roll!! Wish I worked here. I'm in the same business. Thank you so much! Be back soon. Eric.“

“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!“

“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 !“
