Wonder.

Very sad that I just discovered this place since I'm moving from the area soon. All the food is incredibly well thought out. Flavors are pronounced and balanced. Prices are very reasonable in comparison to similar places. The ownership and staff are extremely nice and upbeat. The interior is very bright and modern. They don't try to reinvent the wheel, they just do things very well. It's the kind of honest local spot that you can be glad to spend your breakfast or lunch money on.

Food is amazing, place is so cute. If you love a pink aesthetic, pasteries, and great food this is your place. The owners are super sweet and funny. Love them!

Five stars for Wonder, a restaurant that actually lives up to its name—a place where someone clearly gave a damn about design. Everything feels intentional: colors that make sense, lighting that flatters, and typography that probably had its own creative brief. And the details—good god, the details. Glasses made of glass. Plates made of ceramic. Not tin, not plastic, not some postmodern compostable nonsense. Real materials for real humans. You feel civilized the second you sit down, which is saying something in this century. Then there’s the breakfast, a lineup of pure genius. Eggs that actually taste like eggs, pancakes that flirt with decadence, and coffee strong enough to remind you what day it is. Whoever’s running the kitchen deserves a medal or at least a second mimosa. Five stars. Wonder is what happens when design meets breakfast and both show up ready to work.

Just a fun little coffee shop with really good food and a great location if you are on Highway 111 or live in Palm Desert. I really enjoyed the iced coffee I got and I don't remember when I have ever had better hash browns. Perfect spot for an meeting or a date.

My group arrived right before closing and there was a bit of a rush. I saw this cute place on TikTok and wanted to try. The sandwiches that we received were great. I do wish we would have gone earlier for the pastries. Chris the owner told me that those go soo fast in the morning. They do plan on expanding the dining area to fit more customers. My group ate outside but the atmosphere was still pleasant because it wasn't too hot. I plan on going again. But not too soon. Give them a chance to acclimate to the social media popularity. I can only see them getting better.

10 stars for atmosphere alone. Well done eat Wonder. Fabulous ambience. Beautiful lavender latte and massive bacon royale. Delicious, Of course.

Wonder is wonderful. We're so lucky to have this place in Palm Desert. It's a super cute, independent restaurant operated by a family who moved to the desert from Portland, OR. The menu has a nice, surprisingly varied, number of dishes. Many of both breakfast and lunch options. There's eggs, a burrito, checken sandwich, burger, salads, and more. I've had the breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito several times. They also bake some beautiful and creative donuts. Note for the BNP tennis and Coachella crowds: The secret is out. This place gets VERY busy during those events. But if you're here in the other times of the season you shouldn't have to worry about it being too busy. Anyway, this place is worth a try next time you're in Palm Desert driving by on the 111.

Perfect spot for breakfast/brunch! Service was helpful, quick, and thorough! We enjoyed the special, a ham and Swiss croissant sandwich, as well as the avocado toast. Both were generous portions and tasted delicious! The fresh juice was a treat and lattes were perfect. The big straw was a cute touch. We’ll be back!

Best experience of the whole weekend. We were greeted by a staff member who felt like a long lost auntie who was excited to see me and my kids. The staff continued to be so nice and accommodating throughout our whole visit. Being patient with my loud and messy kid and checking in regularly. Ambiance is a cute, clean coffee shop/cafe. The food: For starters the portions were huge and the price was beyond reasonable for the size. My husband and I shared the bean breakfast burrito that was great. We also got a French toast that was wonderful and a side of eggs that were perfectly cooked. Great place to visit while in Palm desert.

What a great family owned business! Our first time here and we enjoyed it. Staff were welcoming and informative. We ordered a salted caramel coffee and a strawberry matcha. The salted caramel latte was a bit sweet for me personally. However, I believe it was a perfect balance for guests who enjoy sweet coffees. The strawberry matcha was good. We also order the spicy fried chicken sandwich. Whatever sauce they use on that is wonderful! They also did a great job with the decor. Clean and modern. We will definitely be back and I'll have my iced americano or even the mimosa flight! I definitely recommend coming in for breakfast or lunch.

Found this cute little place when looking for nearby coffee shops in Palm Desert. This has to be newer? It's adorable! The vibe is fun, light, and airy. The dinosaur is a staple out front. We only stopped here for coffee but would love to come back for a sit down meal. All staff members present were so friendly and had big smiles when we walked in. Their Iced Chocolate Horchata Latte special had me hesitant at first because I love horchata, but am not really a fan of chocolate in drinks (aside from a classic hot chocolate, of course). I decided to give it a try and it was delicious! Sweet, but not too sweet, and the chocolate was a fun twist with the horchata flavor. I was sipping every last bit. I also took a strawberry lemonade to-go and when I had it later in the day it was so fresh. I loved the fruit garnishes. I will be returning!

Best of the best! Delicious food, great ambiance and the best service in town. Thank you!

What a hidden gem. This place is very cute and the food and coffee drinks are amazing. I had the most delicious egg, Swiss cheese and mushroom sandwich and my friend had a yummy steak salad. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely worth trying.

What a little hidden gem this place was! We only got drinks, but the food looked amazing. I had a dirty chai and it didn't disappoint me, it was flavorful and not too sweet...perfect! Everyone was so nice.

The place is exactly like the pictures show. Plus, it has a cute white dinosaur outside the front door. Inside, it is bright and clean and excellent service! Food tasted very fresh with made in house scratch menu with some very solid choices- breakfast sandwiches on brioche or croissant, breakfast burritos, and an excellent veggie sandwich. I really enjoyed the espresso drinks and cold brew with the homemade house syrups. Just a heads up they don't have brewed coffee, but they can make you an Americano if you like. Can't wait to come back. * Parking can be a bit tricky since it's street parking -heads up * when you walk in, you can order at the counter to go for like coffees or you can choose to sit down and have brunch.

Decided to return to Wonder yesterday (Monday). Always good to return to a new venue 6 to 8 weeks after one's first visit. Some observations. 1. When you use a credit card at Wonder there now exists a 4% surcharge. No other business in town does this. Credit card companies charge restaurants 2 to 3.5% for use of cards. 4% is excessive, makes a clear statement they're focused on cash. Let's hope all of this cash is being properly presented to the IRS. FYI - I did not receive a receipt for my $50. cash spent. 2. Desert Vegetable Bowl. It was exceptional as last time. However, the price went from $15 to $16. Does this mean the staff got a 7% raise? Does this mean their patrons are now earning 7% more? 3. The mimosas went from $7 to $8. These folks just opened. Guess they felt they can collect more. Product remains excellent but a price increase after 30 days is just not right. My partner was mischarged for a cold brew. There was one price listed on the wall, yet they chose to collect an extra 50 cents from him. This place has great food. I'm even willing to overlook the eggshells found in Dan's sandwich. However, when you start playing around with prices in this reasonably small town there are consequences. I'm going to take a breather before I return. Hoping the owner carefully reads my comments.

This is the second time I've been here I had to go back because somebody had posted on tiktok that they were very rude to her that they ignored her I didn't have an issue the first time or the second time the very first time I went it was extremely busy I was lucky to find a place to sit this second time I walked in and the place was empty but 10 minutes later it started to fill up the food is good I was looking forward to the hash browns but honestly they weren't anything special I don't know what I was expecting the coffee I ordered cookie butter with oat milk it was good but it had some little aftertaste I can't put my finger on but I would go there again and next time I think I'm going to try the French toast with the berries

Cute little coffee and sandwich shop. Has a few tables. The pastries and other baked goods looked amazing, but I got a chicken sandwich. It was good. Next time I'm in the area I plan to come back to get coffee and pastries.

I got the special strawberry matcha latte... sorry to say but it was the worst matcha I've had in my entire life...I literally spit it out and threw it away instantly, it had no sweetener at all and taste like grass (I'm a matcha lover and it's not supposed to taste like fresh cut grass lol) the aesthetic was cute but it felt un welcoming in there TBH so for me it's a no.

Finally was able to check out this place, and I'm glad I did! This place is open 8am - 2pm everyday except Wednesdays. Great place for a coffee, mimosa or beer or breakfast/brunch. Plenary if hot food options and assorted pastries. Sausage egg cheddars cheese arugula breakfast sandwich (brioche bun): 4 stars 4 stars and very good! Perfectly cooked and fluffy scrambled egg, melted cheddar cheese and a fat sausage patty with fresh arugula to add a little something extra. Put this on a soft brioche bun and you have a great 4 stars sandwich. I'm giving the sandwich 4 stars because as good as the sausage was, I think it could use a little more seasoning. The sausage patty is good and my guess is that it's made in house. I would order this sandwich again. Service and decor is 5 stars- cute little boutiquey breakfast place and refreshingly mixed-age crowd for the area. Think I found a great new coffee / breakfast place.

Cute place !! I found the staff to be super friendly . Great place to grab a quick coffee and snack

Lovely service, cute ambience, and light, fresh, tasty food. Had Holli's Homemade Granola- just right. Had the vegetarian bowl last time I was here and loved it.

Super yummy food and the service was amazing! Me and my friend were sitting outside after eating here and one of the staff members came out and gave us some delicious free donuts! Definitely recommend this place :)

Where to begin ? I was excited to see a new place in town. Place was pretty busy. Very nice pastries . Pricing for coffee is ridiculous. I asked for half and half coconut and almond milk and they charged me 2.00 I don't even get charged that at the airport when I ask for a split! My latte was 8.00 . They also charge for the syrup. The wall hanging stated 5.00 for latte and I was charged 6.00 with brown sugar. Donut was excellent per my daughter Coffee was ok We had the loaded hasbrowns they were good as well. Service is subpar- manager was either naturally rude and not friendly or over tired . Barista cashier seemed nice . Very cute place nice ambiance. Be nice if they had some Gluten Free items.

I came today, and for it being a Sunday around 11:30 it was not insanely busy! Service was great, the woman serving my boyfriend and i was helpful with the menu, welcoming, and very fun to talk to. We ordered the loaded hashbrowns and French toast, both the best we've ever had! Strawberry lemonade also was perfect, not too sweet or bitter. Food: 10/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Service 10/10 We actually were just visiting as we live 2 hours away, but definitely will be hitting this place first the next time we come to town. from our experience this business seems to be operated by really nice people, at least that's the impression i got from our waitress alone!

The ambiance of this quaint café is relaxed and inviting. I really enjoyed their strawberry matcha--it had a nice balance of flavors. If you prefer your matcha on the sweeter side like I do, I'd recommend asking for a bit of simple syrup. I also tried the avocado toast, which was fresh and delicious. Overall, a lovely spot to unwind and grab a tasty bite.

Came here soon after they opened. Ordered a flat white. When I saw the cup coming out I started to get worried- it was a 16oz cup. I was served a latte- 14oz of milk with espresso. I ordered 4oz of milk and espresso. I thought if it was on the menu they would know how to make it. The owner asked if everything was ok and I quietly went up to him to explain- I ordered a flat white and "this isn't a flat white" to which he replied- yes it is. I explained the whole point of the drink is the size/ratio. He told me I was wrong and offered to put my drink in a smaller cup to appease me. He mentioned something about the prices being the a same for all the drinks. I'd honestly pay $10 for a real flat white. It's not the price- it's the fact that I couldn't get what I ordered. Overall a major turnoff for me. Doesn't seem the owners understand American hospitality. He simply could have listened and asked me- "what is a flat white to you and we'll try to make it" - that's all I was looking for. And if they did know how to make it- I'd be buying one every day, as I pass it on my daily walk. Unfortunately they've lost a local/ year round customer.

Small place, bright, clean and friendly. Food is full of flavor . The sausage breakfast sandwich was my favorite I'm still feeling the red peppers from it

My server/barista was very friendly, efficient and attentive. I could tell the food really was made from scratch. It was delicious and a great price considering how big it was. The sausage patty was thick and flavorful. I was full from eating half of it. My latte was not overly sweet, just right! The table next me got the salted caramel latte with cold foam which is their current drink special. I want to try that one next time because it looked amazing. While checking out I decided to take home 2 of their big Oreo donuts. We ate them a few hours later and they still tasted amazing and fresh!

Beautiful cute little restaurant! Something in this place that made me Happy. The food was delicious! Definitely will go back and try their pastries next time

Nice new place with a down under flavor. Some traditional, some unique breakfast, lunch and coffee menu items. You order at the counter then find a place to sit. Was set up for tables mostly settings for two but I'm sure they can set it up for larger parties. My wife said it reminded her of a ice cream shop. It was white, clean and brand new. They have a pastry display with croissants and other sweets. The Americano coffee was hot and hit the spot. The Desert Vegetarian entree was tasteful with a spicy touch too it. Interesting combination of vegetables with scrambled eggs. Wonder Big Breakfast plate with Sausage and hashbrown. Both entrees had buttered toast. The owner came by and said hello and asked us how we liked the food. Nice change of pace for a Sunday morning. Will need to go back to try a pastry and a sandwich or two.

A friend suggested this restaurant bc she has eaten here b4. So I looked at the menu beforehand....I'm keto, and just felt cornered bc nothing seemed interesting. Southwest steak salad? Read ingredients, ok, well...WELL is right! It was sooo good! The combination of ingredients, plus a LEMON vinaigrette, instead of the usual. My friend had this HUGE burrito, and took home half of it. The plates that came out of the kitchen were beautiful and I wanted to taste every one of them. French toast--the syrup--, a bite of every sandwich---. The iced tea was even interesting. Not your usual black tea, not flavored, not sweet...Yes and I will be back. (Oh, and the owner has some funny accent! )

Cute place, great customer service and good food too. They also have some pastries and you're can also order coffee to go if you don't want to dine in.

Had an iced lavender latte. A bit pricey but it was really great quality. BE AWARE OF THE COST BEFORE YOU PAY AS YOU MAY BE OVERCHARGED. I was charged $6 for an iced latte and I tipped $1. I added just one pump of lavender - no milk substitute. The wall menu says $5 for a latte and my receipt says .50 for the one pump of lavender. So I guess it should've been 5.50 but the receipt shows $6. A fifty cent overcharge isn't that big of a deal - it's more principle. Charge correctly please. Since I was so hot and busy with my baby I was too distracted to notice it. Anyway, The inside is small and so cute. Just wish they ran the ac when it's 93 degrees out so we could've sat and stayed a while but it was way too hot inside. Maybe we'll be back but we'll be careful to make sure we're charged correctly before paying.

This family run business has beautiful decor great ambience and amazing food. It's reasonably priced handmade with love.

I love that this place is here. It is comforting to have new delicious drink and dining options catering to my demographic. As a busy stay-at-home with a nosy dog, it's nice to find a friendly spot off of El Paseo that's (technically) walking distance. Located right by Thriftology, which I'm also excited to visit, this place epitomizes the new Palm Desert- California cool and relaxed vibes.

A continued example of poor business practices. Thank you for your apology... or lack thereof. Both times the owner has spoken up, it has been to "school" me on meat temps. Never addressing the inappropriate behavior of his manager. Unfortunate.

Oh my goodness this was such a surprise! Had bacon, eggs and cheese on brioche bun and it was so damn good! The bacon is amazing! If you're looking for a little surprise, this place has it! Give it a try you won't regret it! It's a wonder!

Great place to go for breakfast. The owners are super cool and the food was amazing. Nice little spot not overcrowded. I really enjoy going here for breakfast.

Food was AMAZING! I had the avocado toast and my niece had the cinnamon French toast. To drink I got a chai tea, it was a bit watered down and my niece had a matcha. The server was so friendly and sweet. We took a donut home to go. They just looked too good to pass up!

My husband and I stopped by here around 11:00 on Sunday. We were able to walk right up and order and two of the 5 indoor tables were available. The pastries in the display case looked a bit dried out and not as appetizing as I'd hoped. As we ordered we watched a young lady overflow a coffee/hot chocolate drink from the paper cup, then add a mountain of whip cream, then try to clean up the darkly stained cup. Thankfully she finally decided to transfer it to a different cup. During the first 25 minutes of waiting for our burrito and ham and cheese croissant, we saw several coffee items being turned back due to being served the wrong item. *Ask about the sizes before you pay as they do not ask and you may be surprised* Luckily at the 30 minute mark our two food items were served. My husband said he was impressed with the burrito- the homemade chorizo, the toasted tortilla was a pleasant surprise, didn't break apart. My ham & cheese croissant was flakey and delicious. Although adorable, this eatery has some kinks to work out- accuracy & efficiency of orders and friendliness of employees.

Food was amazing but service was a bit off, there was always a slight attitude and rudeness when we ordered/talked to the staff. Besides that food was incredible

Been recommending clients to go here for months, we went for breakfast egg sandwiches (scrumptious!!) and iced coffee drinks this morning after a 20 mile bike ride. It's wonderful!! Love the 80s alternative new wave music too! Perfect Sunday morning. SO glad we can experience a vacation like vibe in our own backyard!!

Nice little breakfast place that just opened around the corner from us ! Excited to try it , made a quick stop today to checkout their menu!

This was our first time and it was incredible! Sausage and cheese sandwich was really good along with the strawberry donut and coffee! It was not cheap, but you get what you pay for! I will definitely be back when I am in Palm Desert again! 10/10

A hidden gem in. South Palm desert. I had the breakfast burrito and friend she had the Turkey sandwich. What was impressive was the fact how creative both were. It's tough to explain but one has to experience the food. If you are looking for your average run of the mill sandwich then this is not the place . Plus the owners are very hospitable and appreciate your presence.

Wife and I are breakfast here after golf and it was amazing. Services was awesome and the staff is very friendly. I had the chorizo breakfast burrito and it was probably the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

Love this place! Nice vibe and very nice staff! The French toast is delicious ! It's small and cozy which it's fresh white interiors!

This place is amazing. You get a nice portion cooked to perfection for a decent price. The staff is friendly and very accommodating.

Unfortunately the owners decided to put a brand new guy at the register (apparently a staff no show) instead of taking it themselves. The guy didn't know what could or couldn't be done with their eggs so my order was wrong. Instead of coming over and apologizing for their staff error, she complained to us and said they couldn't be bothered to do egg whites-this was long after we ordered & paid for them. She had no idea of customer service and didn't care. Response to incorrect owner's statement: 1. There's no information stating we choose a table After ordering. 2. No one at the register said you don't do egg whites, we ordered & paid for them. The undercooked over easy egg wasn't acceptable

Beautiful breakfast/lunch spot in heart of Palm Desert. Food is delicious and owners and staff are super friendly. A must try!

Waited an hour for food that NEVER came! The place was packed and when we looked around, we realized nobody else had food either. Yikes. On top of that, the coffee drinks we ordered were incorrect. We were trying to be patient, but the service was so bad that we had to leave on principle. When we paid we let them know about the poor service and long wait, but they seemed so overwhelmed that they couldn't resolve the issue. Would definitely NOT recommend this place. Your time is better spent elsewhere.

Wow! What a great stop for a timely and delicious breakfast! The place is so cozy, cute and clean! The service was quick and friendly. The food was amazing!! The highly food critic husband said the breakfast burrito was "life changing"! Avocado toast was chefs kiss!

Came here to get coffee/matcha. We ordered an iced unsweetened matcha with double the matcha and almond milk & a latte with 3 pumps of brown sugar syrup and almond milk. It seems like they make there lattes (both matcha & coffee lattes) with more water than milk so they are a bit watered down. It was still good but I've had better. Overall I'd give the drinks a 7/10. I think The shop itself was small but cute & has lots of natural sunlight. We didn't order any food but their food looks delicious! I'd recommended giving it a try!

Staff was nice, but the food took a long time and there was limited seating inside. They also snuck in a 3% fee (meant for credit cards, and afaik is illegal now) while using a gift card.

Wow! Whatta breakfast sandwich, lovely coffee, beautiful front and wonderful owners. Glad we popped in here and will be back!

Cute little shop with a great esthetic! Had a donut which was very tasty and fresh. Cashier was friendly!
