A Wholesome Breakfast at Palms Cafe

While visiting my grandparents in Rancho Mirage, they took me to a great little breakfast place called Palms Cafe in Palm Desert.  Knowing my grandparents would never lead me astray, I was pretty excited.

We took a seat outside and perused the menu.  As most cafes go, they had a pretty good collection of food, but I sought out my favorite breakfast food, the omelet.  Since I don’t think I had ever seen turkey offered in an omelet before, I ordered one with turkey and cheese.  I also got some bacon on the side.

It came out pretty quickly and was one of the most interesting omelets I’ve ever seen.  It almost looked like a breakfast burrito aside from the yellowish color the eggs produced.  Inside, it was still similar to a burrito, with the ingredients kind of tossed in instead of cooked into the egg.  This was actually pretty nice and a unique way of making an omelet.  The turkey was good, although a bit salty and in chunks, rather than slices, which was also a nice change.

The best part, though, was the bacon.  It was thick-cut and really crispy.  It was so thick, actually, that it didn’t curl up like bacon seems to do when it gets really crispy.

I would definitely recommend the Palms Cafe for anyone looking for a good breakfast in Palms Springs.  It offers a nice twist on the norm, but delivers it pretty well.

UNVEGAN FANS: HELP STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT DELICIOUS FOOD!

Future Foodies!

HYPE is a non-profit organization that works directly with low-income middle schoolers and their teachers to provide students with the guidance and resources needed to qualify for admission and succeed at top private schools in the Los Angeles area. We provide our students with engaging and unfamiliar experiences to broaden their horizons. A large part of building this cultural capital is by having our students try a wide variety of new foods. This pushes our students outside of their comfort zones and encourages them to take risks in a fun (and tasty!) way. Last summer, our students tried Ethiopian food, sushi, Korean BBQ, deli, and schwarma, just to provide some examples.

We want your help, Unvegan fans, to increase our students’ knowledge about the world around them by enhancing their culinary experiences. We greatly appreciate your support to provide a meal to our group of 15. With your donation, you will be opening delicious doors for an amazing group of students!
