"We stumbled across L’Atelier while visiting from NYC & walking through downtown PS. What a great find and we wish we discovered it sooner! We had the Croissant Français and the Omelette de Paris—both were phenomenal. Also, the coffee was out of this world. On top of the great food and coffee, the co-owner and chef both were super friendly and went out of their way to talk to us and welcome us in. We will definitely be back next time we are in PS. A++"

"We had a fantastic time during our visit to Palm Springs. The food was excellent, even better than in France, and it's so nice to have good food in the United States! Thank you to the owner and the team for the warm and friendly welcome. We'll gladly return if we're ever back in Palm Springs 🇺🇸. Big hugs from the Northerners ✌️"
