    We had a wonderful breakfast on the patio at Paradise Cove before doing our morning shopping at Trader Joe's. The Carne Asada breakfast was flavorful and delicious and I especially loved the fresh strawberry pancake. The yummy coffee kept flowing with great service. We'll be back.

    I have been frequenting this restaurant for the past few months as a go-to breakfast place. The blancasada omlete is great! And the pancakes are good. But beware, the service is very slow. We were there with a full restaurant, and only one server, one cook, and a couple bus boys. It took 40 min to get food. And most visits it is over 30 min for food after we have ordered. I hate writing a review like this, aleays hoping it's a one time thing, but it is happening over and over now. Very frustrating!

    I absolutely love this establishment! Always greeted with the biggest and most friendly smiles from staff. Comfortable booth seating inside, and great dining patio outside as well. Do yourself a favor and try an excellent omlete with the best homefries around! The omletes are big and fluffy and never dry. I LOVE their veggie factory omlete, it's packed with a grip of healthy veggies and never disappoints. A MUST TRY is their BLUEBERRY pancake!!! Best one I've had to this day. The staff is definitely one of the reasons I will always return. They make you feel like family when visiting and are very sincere. Great dining experience all around!

    I had a great time dining at the Paradise Cove Cafe this past week. In fact I went two times in my week stay in palm desert because it was that good. I would highly recommend getting the Cinnamon Cheesecake pancakes and the chicken fried steak. The staff was very nice on both visits and the food was did not disappoint. I would recommend for those who haven’t been to explore the menu because there are so many great options you don’t get at your normal cafe!

    We’ve eaten here a handful of times and enjoy it. It’s a simple place to enjoy breakfast, nothing spectacular but still enjoyable food. Today’s omelette wasn’t that impressive, wouldn’t order again. Food may take a while from the kitchen. Overall it’s a good spot but we may not go out of our way to visit again.

    Pretty decent breakfast. Not amazing, but not bad either. My husband said the pancakes and the French toast tasted good. Our 4 year old really liked the French toast. The mostly meat omelette would've been pretty boring if it wasn't for the salsa they brought. The huevos rancheros were decent. Not my favorite, but still tasty. The salsa for the huevos rancheros was good (not amazing, but not bad), and the tortillas were good. The beans tasted like they were fresh from a can though. Good service and there was no wait (and almost no one else in the restaurant at the time we went - 1140am on a Tuesday). Overall a good breakfast. Not amazing, but not bad either.

    Just had breakfast there. The food was delicious. The place is clean and relaxing. Indoor and outdoor seating. The service was excellent. My whole family loved every dish we ordered.... which doesn't happen very often. I highly recommend the place.

    The food is really good. The portions are pretty good size. I enjoyed my blueberry and banana pancakes. It is definitely worth coming back.

    Legitimately the best restaurant around Palm Desert. Doesn’t matter what I get, I end up liking it. My partner and I have been eating here for a few years now. They make the best breakfast and lunch.

  • 2/5 Joshua B. 2 months ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    Pretty disappointing place, to be honest. Menu looked interesting online, but it doesn't matter how much of a menu you have if you can't make the food. My "Prime Time" pulled pork BBQ sandwich had a couple of drops of sauce at the most, making it bone dry, and it lacked its advertised pickle. Fries were cold and tasted left out. My friend's breakfast was reportedly mediocre, and neither of us finished our meal there. The atmosphere wasn't too good. They had multiple tables taken up by someone leaving a laptop and work materials on it. The door we were near was junky looking and needed paint. And they looped the same song three times in there, annoying, to say the least. Service was friendly, if a bit slow and disorganized. Overall, there are a lot of choices for food there, so you should really pick somewhere else other than here.

    We had a wonderful experience here! We got the blueberry, chocolate chip and buttermilk pancakes. They let us mix and match what kind of pancake we wanted. Service was great. Come here for the best pancakes. 🥞

    Pretty cute area. Took them about 20 minutes just to come and give us waters and take drink orders. Then another 30 minutes for us to put our food orders in and 45 minutes for the food to come out. When the food came out our bacon was soggy, egg whites were runny and the scrambled eggs were cold and moist. The pancakes were somewhat redeeming. The waitress was nice and we could tell that they were just understaffed but there was also no discount from the food being inedible. Not as good as everyone says it is. Honestly you have better service going to an ihop.

    I've seen this place often from my visits to Trader Joe's and wonder how it is and what they serve. Well I finally got to find out and in my opinion it's a must stop for breakfast, lunch, or a bunch. I got the chicken fried steak, my girlfriend got the corned beef hash, and we split the bacon banana pancakes. Food was amazing and worth any and every minute. Looking forward to that 'smoke with flavor' soon

    First af all Daniela was fantastic! She figured out that we were talking and catching up on old times. We ordered and she was very polite. She came back to say my order was not available so she gave me time to rethink my choice The food was delicious and large portions. Daniela was so polite, professional and courteous through out our dining time. . .

    Great local establishment. Very friendly staff who looked after us right away. I had the pancakes and my Wife had the chicken and waffles. It arrived quickly even though they were shortstaffed. Food was very good and good size portions. Glad we made the effort to eat here.

    This place is a gem! Best pancakes hands down. Their banana nut pancakes are full of flavor. Don’t put too much syrup on them. They really don’t need the extra sweetness. Their food items are a good size portion and served in a good size. Service was friendly and quick. Can’t wait for our next trip back to the area. 3/11/23. Place was a bit busy, but not real busy and we still had to wait 30+ minutes for our meal. Service from our server was HORRIBLE. Went around the tables and I had to get up to ask someone to get me a coffee refill. She never came back and again I had to get up to ask for a mimosa refill and extra salsa. We asked for pancakes to go. Ten minutes later she comes back to tell us THEY RAN OUT OF BATTER!!! Seriously? No one noticed they were running low? Wow. Food didn’t disappoint, the service did. Will think twice about coming back.

    Man, this place was bad. We came into town and stayed at the JW Marriott with our kids. Looked for a family friendly restaurant around, it was a Wed or Thurs late morning. We opted to sit outside since the weather was nice enough. Goodness, the service was TERRIBLE. Took forever to order anything. Ordered coffee, and they didn't bring sugar or cream. Husband ordered a beer, and server could not tell him what they had on tap. Instead of saying she could go check and come back, she just straight up said "I don't know", and felt good leaving it at that. My son spilt his chocolate milk, my husband was on the floor cleaning it up and the servers just walked by, without even offering any napkins or anything at all. My chicken and waffles...chicken was mostly bones and waffles had no flavor. The syrup was extremely watered down, also with no flavor. My husband's huevos rancheros were awful, do not recommend at all. Tortilla with sauce that's it. THE ONLY THING that actually tasted good were my kids chocolate chip pancakes. They were really good. The fries were also very good. I would never come back here though.

    Really really good food for a great value. A definite hidden gem for us non locals. Nice indoor and outdoor seating and the bottomless champagne and mimosas helped out a lot lol.

  • 5/5 Linda 1 year ago on Google
    My husband had an omelette and I had the strawberry waffles. Both of us were very happy with our meals. Our waitress was kind and attentive. We were glad we found it tucked in the corner between Michael's and Trader Joe's.

  • 4/5 Gary A. 1 year ago on Google
    First timers for my wife and I. Wanted to try a new place and we weren't disappointed. I had the ham and eggs, bacon and eggs for my wife. Both of us had a pancake instead of toast. The pancakes are as good as advertised. The best I've had outside the east coast. Only one small negative, the coffee price is higher than average. $4 a cup, the good news we didn't have to ask for a refill. We'll be back.

    You have the option to eat indoor or outdoor. Had caramel peach pancakes and they were delicious! Pancakes were thin but just right. Coffee was good too.

    The place is an absolute gem! Friendly staff and great service all around. The food is fantastic and very satisfying. Big menu with a good variety of options. Highly recommended!
