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!“

“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!“

“Here on vacation and was looking for a little coffee shop. This was absolutely fabulous! Had breakfast sandwiches, chocolate croissant and blueberry scone. All delicious. Iced lattes were on point and just what I needed in the morning! Staff was suer friendly and helpful. So happy we found this spot.“

“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! 🧋🍍✨“

“Our waitress Jahlynn was very professional and gave us good service. Her Arnold Palmer’s are the best ever. I don’t like Arnold Palmer, but my husband ordered it, and I tasted it and we give it two thumbs up! Over all the food is so good. They are known for their fried chicken. Delicious!“

“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!“

“Old school diner. We used to go here years ago when we lived in Palm Desert. Same food today. Taco salad is my fave. Burger isn't as good as we remember. Ranch dressing tastes home-made and is great! Tacos were yummy. Great stop with kids. Diner itself is older...but clean. Great location when you want a good stop close to I-10!“

“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 !“
