Where are the best brunch spots in Palm Springs?

These are the brunches we'd book for our own group chat. Days and menus change by season, so confirm before you go.

LuLu California Bistro

At 200 S Palm Canyon Drive, and the downtown brunch hub. Weekend brunch is a prix fixe with bottomless champagne or mimosas, which is exactly the sentence your group wants to hear.

Cheeky's

At 622 N Palm Canyon Drive. Known for bacon flights and no reservations. Get there early, put a name down, and send someone for coffee.

FARM

At 6 La Plaza, a French-inspired courtyard restaurant known for crepes and lavender lemonade. Brunch is walk-in only, so this is the one for the early risers.

Eight4Nine

At 849 N Palm Canyon Drive in the Uptown Design District. A glamorous room with a broad, creative menu. Wear the outfit.

Jake's

Also in the Uptown Design District, at 664 N Palm Canyon Drive. A locally owned bistro with a private outdoor courtyard and weekend brunch.

Bottomless brunch and big groups

For a bottomless brunch in Palm Springs, LuLu and Pinocchio's are the classic calls. Pinocchio's, at 134 E Tahquitz Canyon Way, pairs bottomless champagne or mimosas with Belgian waffles. Bongo Johnny's has two big patios and serves breakfast all day until 4PM, which is a public service. Boozehounds, at 2080 N Palm Canyon Drive, is the pick when someone's bringing the dog, with a breezy patio and a pet-friendly policy.

Booking for ten or more? Call ahead, ask about set menus, and send the group a hard arrival time. Somebody will still be doing their hair.

Drag brunch in Palm Springs

Oscar's, at 125 E Tahquitz Canyon Way, runs a theatrical brunch on Saturdays and Sundays with mimosa and Bloody Mary stations. Book it early for a bachelorette or birthday weekend. Our drag brunch guide has the full rundown.

Unique dining experiences in Palm Springs

Want something that feels like an event? These are the themed and theatrical nights we send people to.

Classic breakfast spots for a slower morning

Not every morning needs bubbles. Sherman's Deli and Bakery, at 401 S Palm Canyon Drive, does bagels and lox, corned beef hash and pastrami. Rick's Restaurant and Bakery, at 1596 N Palm Canyon Drive, is diner-style with pancakes and thick-cut bacon. Wilma and Frieda's, upstairs at 155 S Palm Canyon Drive, does upscale comfort food. Arrive early.

Brunch at The Muse

Sometimes the best brunch spot is the courtyard. Grab-and-go breakfast from Aspen Mills is included with your stay, so the early risers are covered. Most suites have kitchens, and the four king yard suites (Brigitte, Audrey, Marilyn and Taylor) have full kitchens and private fenced yards for a mimosa setup. Have Stock the Fridge load the champagne before you land. Booking the whole hotel? Full buyouts can add a bartender package: three hours with ice, drinkware and up to three cocktail selections, with the alcohol purchased separately.
