We had a great lunch here with friends. I was happy with their vast menu, including all day breakfast and many vegetarian options. They have an amazing bakery with tons of desserts and danishes, etc, fresh breads and bagels, and other baked goodies. Our food came out quickly from the kitchen. We really enjoyed the cabbage soup, the salads, and the sandwiches served in fresh baked bread. My sandwich was so huge that I could barely eat it all. Service was good and prices were very fair compared to most other similar places in the area. We will definitely return here again and will recommend it to our friends and to others visiting the area.

I dinned in with a friend. I had previously been to this restaurant before it was refurbished and made into a bright and cheery environment. The food was very good, especially for the price. The server was particularly friendly and very attentive. We sat in a booth, so the atmosphere was enhanced. My tuna fish salad was really good. I actually liked it better than Sherman’s another competitive deli like restaurant in Palm Springs. I have to really say that the raspberry Jewish pastry that I had was delicious and I love desserts. The recent renovations to the restaurant really make the dining experience so much more pleasant is much more mid-century, bright colors, Palm Springs style, which I personally find cheerful and vibrant … I plan to go back.

We ordered the brisket dinner and it was to die for. So tender and yummy and the veggies were cooked perfectly and the potato salad was quite tasty just how we like it. Our waiter, Alexander was very personable and gave us A1 service. He’s a keeper. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Incredible food and so many options! The bakery is TO DIE FOR! We ate here twice during our 5 day stay in Palm Springs. And always make it a point to stop each time we come.

The food is so good. The pastries are divine. It was packed and a little hard to find, but worth the trip.

We saw they have amazing google reviews, just casually visiting. We had great brunch,all of the servers were awesome and welcoming. We asked for their signature menu and dessert, one of our servers explained all the details of the restaurant menu ! The corned beef sandwich was huge big. All the layers of the beef looked cool,juicy and tasty! Make sure you request the fresh crunch cucumber pickles and cabbage pickles with the corned beef(no additional charge)

First time, good with generous portions. The Monte Cristo lunch was very good. Their french fries are like home made so maybe they are. I had the pastrami on rye with coleslaw. Very generous with the pastrami, a tad drier than I would have hoped, but still good. Service was good with Marissa & Mauricio (?). Huge menu! There is something on this menu for everybody.

Fast restaurant with a very large menu. First time in PS and went to many different restaurants. Service was good and food was very good. Large selection of desserts and pastries. The cornbeef sandwich was very good and reminded of the delis' in Manhattan as the name stated. The Cobb salad, soups and other dishes were just as tasty. Would go back to try other dishes.
