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.

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.

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!

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.

I finally checked out Wonder after hearing so many amazing recommendations and it absolutely lived up to the hype! It was my first time visiting, and I was blown away. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was loaded with deliciousness, every bite was full of flavor and super satisfying. I also got a Cinnamon Toast Crunch doughnut, and not only was it beautifully made, but it tasted just as good as it looked! You can really tell they put love into everything they make. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Everything about this place was delicious! I got the mushrooms, egg and cheese sandwich with French toast and I HIGHLY recommend! The environment was so so cute and very welcoming. Probably my new favorite restaurant in the WHOLE valley! 100% worth it.

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!

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.

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!!

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

When we first came in we asked if we can study they had said "Yes I don't see why not" we sat ordered our food which btw was not too bad. Then they proceeded to ask us to leave because it was getting busy.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Paseo prices, but not on El Paseo. Upcharges for alternative milks and cream for Americanos (no drip coffee offered). $6.00 doughnuts??!!

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.

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

Amazing spot for breakfast and lunch! The food is fresh and delicious, the coffee is top notch, and the vibe is super cozy. The owners and staff go above and beyond--always friendly and welcoming. Definitely one of those places you'll want to keep coming back to.

We wanted some coffee and nice breakfast, the place looked super cute and nice. Right away the costumer service was horrible, the lady at the front a young girl with glasses was extremely rude and rolled her eyes when we couldn't figure out what to order they made our group feel super unwelcomed and didn't explain where to sit and order and she gave extreme attitude to everything we asked. We were well mannered, even people coming in after us said how rude they were and would never come back as well. Such a shame the place look great but majorly failed to deliver on the most important aspect which is costumer service and lost two big groups of costumers.

Had the bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. I didn't realize it had greens inside so I removed them. Bit sure if the sauce was ketchup but it was good. It's a cute little place has some seating inside and outside. I will go again for sure.

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!

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

Disappointed! Expected better service from owner, and was rather greeted with "you can't have your drink from anywhere else..you need to leave" Imagine, we were there to consume. I stated this to her, and she still asked us to leave. I will not recommend just based on service. Makes you seem like the bad person there. This places deserves all the low rated reviews. I've been to, much more recognized places, and never heard them not accepting to serve us because of a drink. You want to be better than your competitors, and show some kindness and respect.

Best breakfast food in the area. I'm shocked at the low reviews although they are all around the same time so I wonder if one person got mad and then had friends write bad reviews. Nothing ever but pleasant customer service here and have now eaten here 5-10 times.

Lovely little spot in Palm Desert. I inhaled the avocado toast. So good! My strawberry mimosa was presented beautifully and topped off the experience nicely. Grabbed a donut and an iced latte on the way out, both delicious!

What a WONDERful gem this place is! The breakfast burrito is to die for! One of the best I've ever had! It is very apparent that high quality ingredients are used in every dish they make. The owners are so kind and friendly! Happy to be working right across the street from this DELICIOUS little restaurant!

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

Avoid at all costs -- unless you enjoy being treated like an inconvenience. I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was so shockingly unpleasant, I felt compelled to warn others. The person working -- I won't call them a "barista" or "server" because that would imply a level of service -- was unbelievably rude. From the second I walked in, their facial expression said it all: annoyance, disdain, and boredom all rolled into one. To make matters worse, my friend bought a drink specifically so we could use the restroom. I paid for it with my card -- we were customers. And yet they said only he could use the bathroom?!? Instead of a simple "sorry" or any attempt at understanding, I was verbally scolded for holding an empty Starbucks cup. I was stunned. I wasn't asking for a free drink. I wasn't loitering. I just wanted to throw the cup away and use the restroom because I paid to do so-- but even then, they removed the trash bin as I approached. It was humiliating and bizarre. There are plenty of amazing local spots where the staff actually want to be there and treat you like a human being. This is not one of them. I won't be back -- and frankly, I'm shocked anyone is.

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.

We wanted to try this place for my friend's birthday (party of 8). We ordered food and drinks and after an hour the owner asked us to leave. While we all TOTALLY understood that he needed the tables the way he spoke to us was a bit too much. It's a cute spot but during the season the 6 tables aren't enough seating. It's the year round people that keep you in business not JUST the snow birds.
