Norma's

Palm Springs ultimate breakfast or lunch splurge

Norma's is the ultimate breakfast-at-1pm place in town. Located in the fabulous Parker, a 5-star boutique resort dripping with cool charm and completely casual non-attitude. From the salmon-pink outfits of the valet staff, to the cinnebar-colored Hollywood Regency entryway, to the hipster loungey mid-century high and low-brow decor, the Parker is all wink and swoon and minty-liciousness. Norma's has the best French press coffee and a menu that's playful, fresh and healthy. Yes, they do have a $1,000 omelette on the menu, but that's just the Beluga bling glinting - the prices are reasonable (fill up for under $40) considering you're probably sitting next to Brangelina's entourage. After relaxing away the early hours of the day, stroll through Parker's lush pleasure gardens and be sure to pop your head into Mister Parkers - the ultimate in fine dining - designed by Jonathan Adler and well hung with wacky 60s and 70s thrift store paintings.
