11 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!“

“Ana was exceptional! She was courteous attentive and super friendly. Kevin “el chiquitito” was great assistance and given us that extra support. And especially shot out to the kitchen staff for great food and getting it out there within a record time!“

“I had the Iced Elephant Vanilla Chai and an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. The chai was amazing! Tasted delicious, and was a lot of tea, even though the size was 'medium .' The bagel was toasted perfectly. I had planned to eat half and take half home, but it was so good I ate the whole thing!“

“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! 🧋🍍✨“

“This is a small family owned business run by the most lovely people! Chris, the chef has the most wonderful adaptation of any dish you order off the menu and they have daily specials; and Holly, wife and co owner is always there with a smile to greet you and is a fabulous baker of donuts and pastries ( seasonal, weather permitting). They are all so very hospitable you’ll want to eat there several times a week, we do!!! I have taken so many people here for brunch that have now become regulars. They are closed on Wednesday but open every other day of the week until 2 PM.“

“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!“

“We were staying overnight, on our way to Los Angeles, and came across this little gem. The variety of food was stupendous. The staff were super friendly and helpful! Very clean establishment! We both had the Turkey and Bacon Wrap and it was delightful! Decently priced! Would recommend to anyone!! Way to go guys!“

“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 !“
