BRUNCH BESTIES
While breakfast typically is considered the most important meal of the day, we think there’s a strong argument for weekend brunch being even more important!
Whether you’re looking for a tried and true classic, something innovative, or maybe just a Mimosa with a side of breakfast, Palm Springs has the perfect brunch spot for you. Here’s our list of ten bangin’ brunch spots you need to know about!
1501 Gastro Pub
This new addition to the Palm Springs restaurant scene offers delicious comfort food brunch….with a little twist: Mimosas include 2 free refills. They also offer their regular menu during brunch, so there is something for everyone!
Pinocchio in the Desert
The home of the desert’s most popular bottomless mimosa and many other fabulous brunch drinks! Pinocchio’s serves a traditional American comfort food breakfast. It’s very popular. You should expect a wait.
Chi Chi’s at the Avalon Hotel
Beautiful poolside dining, with a terrific brunch menu, including some creative takes on traditional brunch favorites. Their fresh pressed juices are delicious, and there’s an amazing selection of craft cocktails created specifically for brunch by the pool.

FARM
This wonderful, French-inspired breakfast spot used to be one of the best-kept secrets in town. No more. The secret is out and this place can get crowded on weekends, but it’s completely worth it. Tucked away in a small wisteria garden in downtown’s historic La Plaza building, they serve delicious food and offer one of the best French Press coffees in Palm Springs!

Breakfast is what they do right! Nothing too fancy, just a good traditional breakfast menu with lots of options. Be sure to order one of their German pancakes as a table appetizer to share! A squeeze of lemon, and you will be so happy!
Escena Lounge and Grill
One of the most beautiful breakfast views in Palm Springs, and definitely a local secret! Located in the Clubhouse of the Escena Golf Course, but open to the public, the Grill offers traditional brunch dishes, bottomless mimosas and champagne, and a jaw-dropping panoramic view! What could be better?

A Palm Springs classic! This is a wonderful “NY-Style” deli with an awesome breakfast served all day long! A few highlights are the potato latkes and the salmon and eggs. If you’re feeling like something a bit more savory, try the pastrami sandwich - giant and delicious!
