Food was ok, but everything tasted a little weird. Tiny water cups made me laugh. Parking was too tight for a pickup. My water cup had lipstick on it, and when the waitress took it she never brought me back a new one. IDK... didn't live up to the hype.
The Good- This place still wants to be a secret (see photo😃), but I asked permission to post a steller review, as this place is fantastic. Moved to this city a few weeks ago, and been eating breakfast out every day. This place is at the very top. Everything is made from scratch (the biscuits are amazing, though could use a dash of salt) and delicious. We ordered eggs several different ways to test, and all were textbook. Good Bloody Marys with garlic-stuffed olives (yum!). The staff is as friendly as they look in my photo. Prices fine. Highly recommend.
The Bad- Got the ribeye on my second visit, but it was the wrong cut and not cooked well.
I love this place. We don't get down here very often but that's only because we don't go to breakfast nearly as frequently as I'd like. The coffee is probably their weak spot, TBH. Food and super-friendly service are always on point. I don't care for their coffee and I always forget that until it's served 🤔
The omelet I had on our last visit was super tasty. Grilled chicken, 3 kinds of cheese, avocado.... Man, I am soooo hungry right now.... 🤣
The biscuit was nice, but the butter is served too cold. Why do so many places do that? I want room temperature butter so I can spread it. Is it the health department? I feel like that's the sort of government involvement I could live without; let 'em keep the butter on the counter like we do at home
Be warned it feels a little buried back in the corner of what used to be a small motel and it's definitely not going to jump out at you. I really like the way they do their breakfast potatoes, they're Todd lake omelet was really good and I would definitely have it again. Staff was kind and breakfast came out quickly and hot. I'll definitely head back and give a couple more things on the menu at try.
Cute neighborhood Cafe 😍 💕 Everything was wonderful our lovely lady serving us was a hoot! Made our morning
Update 4/2022. Solid and a great experience with great food and great service. Nicely upgraded inside. Somehow still Bends best kept secret.
This was a pretty solid spot for breakfast. Warm and inviting with old school wood atmosphere. Food was good and prepared as ordered, portions fed even the hungriest appetites. Prices were good for the quality and quantity of food. Fun selection of morning cocktails too. Service was friendly, but a little slow. It was very busy but staff just seemed a little out of cadence. I will definitely return in the future for a good hearty breakfast.
I was really impressed with this little off-the-beaten-path cafe. We had amazingly friendly service that was willing to let us sit outside in the middle of a winter storm so we could bring our dog. Coffee was hot, mimosa was huge, Bloody Mary was nice and spicy, and the food was impeccable! I am really glad we stayed down the road from this place, it has that ideal nice and cozy country feel. Thank you Palmer’s cafe!
We went here becuase other breakfast places had 45 minute waits. The waitress was great and they were busy on a saturday morning(~9:00). The coffee is served alone and you get a basket with cream, sugar, jam, and hot sauce. The hot chocolate was served piping hot, its swiss miss though.
I do NOT recommend the biscuits and gravy. My poor mother ordered them and the biscuits were described accurately as 'gummy' and the gravy was floury and watery and just gross. She got one chunk of sausage in the whole pool of it.
I DO recommend the veggie eggs benedict that I ordered. It tastes almost like bbq with the tomato/cayenne, and was pretty healthy feeling for a benedict.
My dad ordered an omelet that was great too.
Food was not bad but not good enough to bring me back again. (Breakfast isn't that hard.) Maybe would have enjoyed my meal a bit better without the obnoxiously loud group next to us.
Palmer's is one of our favorite breakfast/brunch restaurants in Bend. Their food is delicious, I recommend going a few times to try it all! And it's a huge plus that they have a full bar as well. Their bloody mary's are a must try as well as the Irish coffee!
The staff and owners are extremely nice and welcoming.
Amazing!! This place is top notch. Service wonderful. Kinesa was so friendly and kind. Food portions are large and filling! Dave, the owner, has such a wonderful heart you must ask him his story of the property there. We will be here again. We are from the Portland area, and we found this on a Facebook ad. Best decision we made. Incredible!
Flat out awesome scrambles and the Bloody Mary was amazing. We'll be back when we are over this way.
Great service! Best bang for your buck and large portions. Quick service and not too long of a wait for a table. Food was good.
Truly, the BEST breakfast in town!! The service is always phenomenal. They treat you like family and it the food is delicious.
This was once one of my favorite places to eat. The staff is still friendly and the service is great, but the food I loved 7 years ago is non existent today. The atmosphere is great but food is mediocre
Super friendly staff and excellent food! Pricing was great for the portions.
I had the chicken fried steak and it delivered!
Definitely head to Palmer’s if you have a chance!
A great find we were out looking for a place to eat. On are way home to Idaho found Palmer's cafe. What a great place the young ladies were wonderful. Thank you, girls will be back next year at the end of our vacation.
