Great location just of El Paseo. Cute courtyard setting with lovely outdoor dining. Great cafe menu. The Cobb salad was fantastic. It was fresh and full of flavour. Great staff and a great place for lunch in Palm Desert.

The place was very busy, but seating moved fast, minimizing wait time. Service was great all around and the food was very good. The belgian waffles are probably the best waffles I've ever had, highly recommended. The blue crab Benedict was delicious and a must try if you are into Benedicts. The Machacado Burrito was very tasty, fresh ingredients and the flour tortilla wrapping it was just right. We prefer sharing dishes so we get to try different things, but if you only had to order one, I'd recommend the Benedict or waffles.

Fun lunch with 3 couples. Sat outside near the parking lot, plenty of shade with the numerous umbrellas. Had a Cobb Salad, and the Mrs has Avocado Toast. Food was tasty and filling. We we're in the lunch rush hour, and the place was packed. Service was very slow, but they were doing their best

I'm so glad I found this little gem one morning. I've been back here numerous times and the service is always extremely friendly, helpful and genuine. Their food is delicious! I love the Belgium Waffles. They load it with blueberries and strawberries, more than any other restaurant I've been to. My boyfriend loves the variety of scrambles they have. Always great portions and excellent taste. They're open for breakfast and lunch and have a large variety of drinks as well. I just discovered that they also have a small terrace with a single table if you want some privacy. We love it and come here every week and will continue to do so.

We stopped in on our way to the living dessert for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised with the variety of breakfast options. My mother had the spinach frittata with avocado and I had the French scramble. Both were delicious. On top of that service was amazing 😍

Great breakfast spot. Loved my chicken and waffles. The waitress was outstanding; exactly who every restaurant should aspire to hire. She was just amazing and I hope she’s my waitress when I return. The atmosphere and setup was plush under outdoor trees, even if it was 110* outside, it was bearable thanks to how cognizant they were in setting up for the present guests. We all even made small talk amongst one another a few times. Will definitely return on my next trip back south.

Despite our very poor service- the food at JC’s is remarkably DELICIOUS, NUTRITIOUS and over the top YUMMY 😋. This was our 2nd visit to this incredible cafe. We loved it so much we came back. We were very disappointed with our server Nellie - maybe it was because we chose to eat outside in the stifling heat versus in the cool A/C , but she was inattentive and unavailable. She failed to bring our salad dressing on any of our salads. Maybe she was just having a bad day. Hopefully- she will have an opportunity to grow from this. Regardless - we strongly encourage you to enjoy an outstanding salad 🥗 at JC’s Cafe 😉

Great brunch spot! The hardest part was deciding what to order, the chef is a magician with plating food! The pastrami was fantastic. The restaurant was packed, but our server was excellent in making time to take great care of us.

Great neighborhood gem. Outdoor patio with music and fountain just off El Paseo. Super friendly and attentive staff that was having fun. The Short rib Benedict looked to be the must order item but unfortunately we only saw it on every other table after we ordered. Next time. The chicken Tamale breakfast was good. Liked their English muffins as well. Bacon was pathetically small and fatty. Oscar Meyer ? Outside chairs weren’t comfortable but setting is nice and service was with a 😃

This place is a GEM! Food is great, and portions are generous. The staff is friendly, even a little quirky. Fun place to go and enjoy a breakfast or lunch. Patio is delightful, in a small court yard with trees and umbrellas for shade from the desert sun. Reminds me very much of a east coast deli type. Can be very busy, particularly at the height of the season, but it is really worth waiting for. The pastrami hot dog is a blast, but they seem to have the sandwich category down pretty well. The chicken salad is generous and delish! Enough to share. Have not been for the breakfast, but our friends tell us it is very good. Prices are reasonable. Plenty of parking in the rear. This can be difficult to find from the main street, as it is at the rear of a little court yard, but easy to find from the parking area. A real treat.

This place is fantastic. Service was friendly and prompt. Recommendations were 10/10. Nellie killed it. Do yourself a favor and order a waffle for the table to share for desert next time you brunch there. Best waffle I’ve ever had. Seriously.

JC's Cafe was a most enjoyable sit down. The atmosphere, the food, the people, the service. 5 star all the way. The coffee wasn't even bad where most places it is. 😀 We sat outside on a perfect day. Pure pleasure. Great job guys. Really enjoyed it. 😉

Nice local Cafe. Fun staff, cozy inside, good food. Get the house made lemon-chardonnay salad dressing on something... even if it is just a cup on the side.
