Pinocchio In the Desert
American · European · Palm Springs, CA
About
First thing you'll notice is the charming sidewalk patio, a downtown Palm Springs staple since 1974. This casual spot serves American and European dishes for breakfast and lunch only, with most menu items under $10. The $3.95 bottomless champagne draws a lively crowd, especially for Sunday brunch when you can expect a wait.
Dog-friendly outdoor seating makes it an easy choice any morning. Locals know to grab a seat before noon on weekends, as the patio fills up fast. If brunch isn't your thing, the Martini Burger is a popular pick.

“Must Stop Place when in Palm Springs”
This is a must-visit for at least one meal when you're in Palm Springs. Both breakfast and lunch are excellent. The chicken salad is particularly good and really filling. I've never had anything to complain about, but if you go on a Sunday, expect a wait since the brunch crowd is very popular.

“Perfect pancakes (and cheap drinks)!”
My partner and I always make sure to eat at Pinocchio whenever we come to Palm Springs, and we've never been let down. Open only for breakfast and lunch, the menu is full of delicious choices (I really enjoy the pancakes). And the $3.95 endless champagne definitely adds to its charm.
