Best WLM Reviews

Fabulous find! Covered parking and located in a upscale strip mall on the beautiful El Paseo.
Service was attentive and fast, we went on a Saturday morning there was a wait but we only waited I think no more than 5 minutes. This was in September so there is that.
My eggs benedict was so good and the interior of this place is so cozy. Definitely give it a try if you are looking for a breakfast spot.
Respectfully Reviewed.
I came here on a weekday morning to try out their famous cinnamon bun. I was surprised to see it busy on a weekday morning.
I ordered a vanilla latte and cinnamon bun — both were SOOOO GOOD. The bun was huge - highly recommend splitting it! My bill ended up being $15. Johnny my service was super friendly and attentive. I would 100% come back!
???? ???? ???? Popular local brunch spot with delicious French toast, creative homemade pop tarts and a full breakfast and lunch menu.
The French toast was so tasty and light but it’s only 2 slices when you order the Mo (also comes with 3 eggs and bacon or sausage). It’s a busy and loud place but they do have an indoor waiting area that makes it easy.
The servers were super friendly and attentive. It’s located on the second floor of the mall.
Incredible food here. My favorite is their breakfast menu and the meatloaf and eggs. Everything is so good and well prepared and served fast and hot. This is a unique experience for sure and we always come here when we’re in the desert. The staff is so nice and courteous. And the baked goods are phenomenal. Especially the pop tarts!

Wilma & Frieda’s Cafe: A Perfect Start to Our Family Vacation!
We visited Wilma & Frieda’s Cafe in Palm Springs during a family vacation from San Diego, and it was everything we hoped for in a brunch spot—and more! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for families or anyone looking to enjoy a great meal in a relaxed setting.
Our server was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and full of spot-on recommendations. We started with the famous cinnamon roll, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and a must-try for anyone stopping by.
Our kids were thrilled with their meals—the burger and the classic American breakfast were hits. As for me, the biscuits and gravy were the highlight: perfectly fluffy biscuits with rich, flavorful gravy that I’ll be dreaming about for a while.
Wilma & Frieda’s was the perfect way to kick off our vacation, and we can’t recommend it enough. If you’re in Palm Springs, make it a priority to stop by—you won’t regret it!
A little slice of paradise in the desert. Been coming here for years. If you enjoy gourmet style breakfast, this place is a real treat. SUPER FLUFFY eggs, which myself and the wife throughly enjoy. Portions are also large, so great for sharing if you're into it. The biscuits and gravy are REALLY flavorful with the two meats, which are definitely a plus. The eggs any style on top are phenomenal! Coffee and latte are also very strong and tasty. Great service from our server and hostess. Great vibes inside and out.
Food was great. Very creative menu. The place was very hot though. Definitely would go if in the area.
