Palm Greens Cafe

Great bfast/lunch spot! I went here 3xs during my Palm Springs vacation. Staff are knowledgeable about cross contamination. GF toast is made on griddle that they can clean. Potatoes are GF. I had three different bfast dishes and experienced no symptoms. And the smoothies are great - perfect for post hike treat.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! 2nd visit, had roasted root veggie hash w eggs & a GFDF blueberry pancake. Went back later for a takeout lunch and got GFDF lasagna that’s the first lasagne I’ve had in YEARS. Ordered the small Caesar salad on the side. All excellent choices- every single one! Huge helping of lasagna, enough for me to have for two meals. Ordered some of their baked goods as well. These guys do it right!!

Husband is severe celiac (super sensitive to cross contamination). Super great experience!

We told our waitress that he was Celiac, and she said it wasn’t a problem. We ordered the gf/v loaded nachos (YUM), he ordered the gf breakfast platter (blueberry pancakes, bacon, fruit, & scrambled eggs), and I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap (in rice paper with chips).

SO awesome, great experience! Must eat if you’re gf in Palm Springs :)

I had a turkey burger with a gluten free bun. Pretty average. They have salads, wraps, and burgers of various sorts that can be gluten free. Not totally marked so you do have to ask.

They have a lot of gluten free options including gluten free bread, buns, rice paper options for wraps. I have eaten here multiple times and haven’t had any illness so I assume they take great care in avoiding contamination.

Had the gluten free toast. Was so soft and doughy. Decent medium portion. Service was friendly. Atmosphere was very family oriented. They have both gf and celiac options. Celiac seemed more limited but still decent options. Definitely a bit pricey but worth at least one trip. The whole menu is basically gf.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was good and really decent number of options. However, I do feel like it’s a little overpriced.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Another update (2019): got smoothies. Were yummy and felt fine after. Did not try any food, so I'm not sure how they are with food these days.

update March 2015 - no longer celiac safe. I think the smoothies are fine (delicious tasting... I mean I think they are fine for celiac). worth a trip for the smoothies but pretty much nothing on the menu is celiac safe. same toaster used for everything, everything heated in same spot on griddle (french toast, corn tortillas, same spot as wheat tortillas and reg. bread). ended up getting a naked turkey burger and am crossing fingers I don't get sick :(.

old review: my boyfriend and I ate here or got smoothies here every single day of our trip to palm springs. it was that good.

Celiac friendly?

No

Amazing. We shard 4 or 5 dishes. We had more options then we could eat which is amazing eating gf and vegan

Lots of GF choices. I had the French toast and was satisfied. Nice atmosphere.

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and said they had a separate prep area for GF orders. Most items on the menu are GF, but are not clearly marked as such. Creative and tasty menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Woah! So many GF options and they take it very seriously!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food, knowledgeable staff, reasonable prices. Kind of basic ambiance, but for Celiac and Gluten Intolerant it is a great find.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Healthy choices. Delicious. Separate surfaces. All good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Omg! Really really great food with so many gf options. Skip the bread and get the sandwich in a rice wrap. The spinach but burger and lamb burger with tzatziki were phenomenal. Lots of folks coming in to order smoothies and juice but we were full from lunch so didn't try any.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great lunch experience with many GF/Dairy Free/ VeGan options. Cleanest flavors/ vegan tzatziki sauce, tahini sauce, can navigate any allergy. Greek wrap with spinach nut burger + olive tapenade added , Huevos Rancheros, Lamb Burger, Spinach Nut Burger.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our favorite place in Palm Springs. Best GFDF options in town! My family ate breakfast here 2 days in a row. The Bradley's smoothie is awesome. We'll be back!

Totally awesome, A choice you won't regret! Had the Susanne Summers juice and Greek rice wrap, took me back to when I traveled in Greece. Don't miss this one, if I had more time in the area, i would totally go back.

Wonderful breakfast, the pancakes and French toast were great!

This places was great- everything is organic and lots of gluten free options (and vegan options if you like that). I ordered their Palm scramble- eggs, bacon and sautéed greens. I also got their grass fed burger to go for lunch. Very accommodating with my requests.

Lots of gf options, relaxed atmosphere, healthy food. Liked my breakfast tacos.

Delicious! GF blueberry pancakes were great. My sister had the salad sampler and that was yummy, too.

Gluten free blueberry pancakes were AMAZING. Best gf pancakes I've had. Definitely recommend this place, especially if you also want vegan options.

Not Celiac safe. Lots of cross contamination. I asked about the pancakes and they use Soy milk! No one uses Soy anymore. I wish they would understand Gluten Free isn't a diet but a necessity for Celiacs. :( so few safe choices in Palm Springs for Celiacs.

Delicious, Nutritious Food and excellent service.

I bring my family here for breakfast. we love the pancakes gluten free/vegan. My kids have a ton of allergies and this is one of the few places we can enjoy. only down fall is the wait can be long at times

The Moroccan Lamb was awesome.i

This place is amazing. I ate here 3 times in 3 days. I'm gluten free, dairy free, and I have a bunch of allergies. They have all the ingredients readily available and their food was delicious!! I'm not from around here but I 100% recommend this place and you will not be disappointed. Even my friends who have no allergies loved the food!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great variety of healthy options, both for dine-in and carry out. Verrrry happy to find this place on our visit!

One of the best! Gf options at every meal including desserts. Lots of raw and vegan options too. Everything organic. I've been here at least 5 times and how to come back again.

They have everything labeled gluten free and they use rice wraps in lieu of flour wraps. They take gluten free very seriously.
