Came for a birthday brunch and our waitress Lourdes was a total hit! Loved her attitude, service and she made super fun for us! Bottomless mimosas for under 8 each can’t go wrong with that!

Enjoyed breakfast and lunch here. Blue cheese burger was excellent! Nice size. Plenty of toppings. Soft bun. Potato chips were crisp and tasty. Florentino benedict was delicious. Potatoes were a little large and could have been cut smaller. Nice atmosphere and service. Great location.

It's one of my favorite breakfast places when visiting Palm Springs! LOVE the bottomless mimosas! Delicious pancakes, omlettes, and eggs Benedict. Service is always good. Prices are reasonable. The quality of food is superb. I will keep coming back. Always a good experience.

What a fun spot for brunch in Downtown Palm Springs! The bottomless mimosas are clearly a major draw with their unbeatable pricing and the food is just as reasonably priced. My partner and I both had omelets with breakfast potatoes and toast; we cleaned our plates. I really enjoyed the mango margarita, though it seemed a bit light on the alcohol compared to a standard margarita. Still, it was refreshing and delicious. The patio had a great vibe with multiple tables laughing, chatting and just soaking up the moment. Big shoutout to our beautiful server—she had amazing energy, a natural sense of hospitality and a way of connecting with everyone on the patio.

Very reasonable prices for a full menu. Very much an eclectic diner with the 60s ambience. They serve bottomless champagne and mimosa’s here. Good breakfast menu.

Great option for brunch in downtown Palm Springs. Food is great in taste and portion wise. Menu is kind of extensive so its hard to decide what to order. Would definitely come back for those bottomless champagne options and the cocktails. Service could be a little faster (specially for those guests seating on the outside part). Overall, a great place to grab a bite and enjoy downtown.
