L'Atelier Cafe
French · Sunday Brunch · Palm Springs, CA
About
Most French spots in Palm Springs are high-end dinner affairs. L'Atelier Cafe is different: a casual brasserie-style cafe where you can grab a quiche, a croissant, or a Smoke Salmon salad without breaking the bank. The owners are French, the tunes are French, and the team is French. It's been a reliable brunch-and-lunch stop since 2013, earning a 4.6/5 Yelp rating from 1800+ reviews.
The cafe opens at 7:30am daily (except Tue and Wed) and closes at 2pm, so you'll want to arrive early for a relaxed seat on the dog-friendly patio. Free wifi makes it a no-brainer for remote work or catching up with friends over beer and wine. For a heartier evening meal, nearby Trio Restaurant offers American comfort food late into the night.

This gay-friendly cafe is fantastic for breakfast and lunch. Their croissants and pain au chocolat are the best in the state.
