The Palms Cafe is a longstanding Rancho Mirage neighborhood cafe for breakfast and lunch, with a relaxed, homey atmosphere. It is a good daytime stop for scratch-made pancakes, omelettes, sandwiches, salads, and patio seating; there is no dinner service.

Pancakes Lead the Menu

From-scratch buttermilk pancakes are the signature, including banana walnut, banana nut, blueberry, and strawberry versions. Cinnamon-swirl French toast provides another sweet breakfast choice. The broader menu also includes omelettes, chilaquiles, and a southwest omelette, so you can build a familiar breakfast around pancakes or go in a different direction.

Daytime Choices for Many Appetites

For lunch, the cafe offers sandwiches, salads, and quesadillas alongside its breakfast fare. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options add flexibility when your group has different preferences. Alcohol is served as part of the daytime offering, including bottomless mimosa and champagne, making the cafe suitable for an unhurried brunch as well as a straightforward meal.

A Relaxed Patio Stop

Booth seating decorated with old cars supports the cafe’s relaxed, homey feel, where the owners describe customers as family. Outside, large umbrellas shade patio seating with mountain views for al fresco breakfast or lunch. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on the patio, and staff bring a water dish for canine companions.

The cafe recommends booking ahead, though its casual format also suits a simple daytime stop. The owners call it a beloved local landmark. Plan breakfast, brunch, or lunch; no dinner service is offered.
