Plate of eggs with crispy hash browns, fruit, biscuit and sour cream at a Palm Springs breakfast spot.
Palm Springs is a breakfast town—the heat pushes everybody out early, and the best plates here are still eggs, hash browns and bottomless coPhoto: Jesse Bee via Google

Palm Springs is a breakfast town before it is anything else — the heat pushes everybody out early, the patios face the mountains, and the best plates here are still eggs, hash browns and a bottomless mug rather than anything trendy. The split is simple: downtown does patios, pastries and mimosa flights, and the edges of the valley do old counters, huge portions and checks that don't sting.

We read 4,823 reviews across 143 places (100 each for the 57 contenders); 342 reviews specifically mention breakfast; we checked 7 outside rankings for "best breakfast in Palm Springs" (palmspringspreferredsmallhotels.com, followmygut.com, kekes.com, palmspringsinsiderguide.com, visitpalmsprings.com) and 21 of our 25 appear on at least one; we scanned 13 TikTok and Instagram posts about breakfast in Palm Springs and 4 of the 25 are named in at least two; 46,405 Google reviews stand behind the 25 places listed; list average 4.55★ vs. category average 4.42★; about 2,900 people a month search "best breakfast palm springs". This ranking came from reading reviews, not from recognizing names.

Choosing between the top three comes down to what kind of morning you want. Elmer's on East Palm Canyon is the sure thing when you're hungry and want a German pancake and refills without thinking — it has the deepest breakfast record here, about 1,616 mentions. Broken Yolk Cafe is the downtown one: balcony, bar seats, flights of mimosas, a table of six at eleven on a Sunday. Sherman's is the outlier — go for the omelette and the bakery case, know it's the priciest of the three, and accept that half your table will order pastrami before noon. If you want none of that, drive to Bit of Country for biscuits and gravy and street parking.
