Cheeky’s Palm Springs

In a city that loves to brunch, Cheeky’s is a Palm Springs institution. Yes, there’s always a line and yes, it’s always a bit of a scene. But this place has been churning out consistently fresh and inventive brunch fare for years, and there’s a reason it’s a favorite of both visitors and locals alike. Go ahead and put your name down, then start figuring out your order—trust us, it’ll take a bit of time. The place is known for its rotating bacon flight, custard-style scrambled eggs, fresh-corn pancakes, house-made pastries, and its spicy (and stiff) Bloody Mary. The menu’s seasonal selections change weekly, while the classics have been going strong for around a decade—no matter what, don’t leave without a $1 shooter of their house-made frozen yogurt.
