Nice little place, friendly atmosphere. Menu is uncomplicated, which is refreshing, especially if you're eating with kids. Owner is wonderful! A couple of warnings...the pancakes are HUGE...you can easily feed 4 little kids with one pancake, and adults can probably split one in half and this place is cozy, so don't be surprised if there's a wait. Come early to get a booth!
What’s great about Karen’s Cafe is the owner, whose name is Nora. This is the quintessential American breakfast joint run by the quintessential American immigrant entrepreneur (from Poland in the early ‘80s). The food is delicious and plentiful, and Nora’s energy and endearing personality as she manages every aspect of the front of the house (hosting, waiting, bussing) while her husband works the kitchen is a joy to experience. We’ve only been on weekends and seating is limited, but turnover is fairly steady and Nora will get you seated as quickly as she can manage. We used to go for breakfast whenever we visited Palm Springs/Coachella Valley, but now that we live here it’s been harder to find a reason to leave the house for breakfast. Or maybe I just have to think about an egg and pancake combo which I will not be able to finish but enjoy attempting to!
Cool Cafe. Super nice staff, even if she was swamped sure keeps on track!
Great find! The breakfast was delicious and the owner is very personable and made me want to come back.Ordered burger to go for later :) make sure to tip well she deserves it.
Your basic greasy spoon fair at typical Coachella Valley pricing. Managed to find a vegetable sandwich that was OK but there wasn’t really anything I’d describe as ‘healthy’ on the menu. Fine if you’re into eggs and sausage.
