I enjoyed my dining experience at Grand Central (GC). The restaurant/ cafe has a very nice vibe: they offer indoor and outdoor seating, is extremely well decorated and clean, with a good number of tables to be able to serve a lot of customers at the same time. We visited GC for Brunch at about 10AM on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We were promptly greeted by the host upon entry and taken to our table. The server was great: she came promptly to take our food and drink orders and helped answer a few questions we had about the items on the menu. We ordered the following: Goat Cheese Salad: Best item of the day - fresh ingredients, good balance of flavors and well presented. Chilaquiles: Meh. Fresh ingredients, but underseasoned. Quinoa Skillet: More of a Spinach skillet as opposed to a Quinoa Skillet. Too much spinach made this dish super soggy. Palm Sugar Waffles: Excellent texture and flavor. Buttermilk Pancakes: Nice. Cafe Latte & Mocha: On point.

Delicious food in a beautiful atmosphere and location! There's an awesome mural on the wall. I ordered the yogurt parfait with house-made granola with coconut flakes and bee pollen. It was so amazing. The perfect touch of sweetness without being overbearing. Italian roast coffee. I don't like Columbian or French Roast. I love this place!

First time eating here and I really enjoyed the experience. The food we ordered was very flavorful and filling. The atmosphere was very complementary to the season. The restaurant as a whole was very clean and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

To be honest, we came here for brunch because this was the only place that was open in the area on Christmas morning. But I'm so glad we did. It has a good vibe. The staff is very friendly. The owner (I presume) chatted with us and even gave us recommendations for things to do and other restaurants to explore in the area. She was very warm. We ordered a bunch of stuff to share. Mushroom Toast, Quinoa Skillet and Palm Sugar Waffles, Mimosa flight and a mocha. Everything was fantastic! Great option for brunch. Highly recommend!

Great food and atmosphere, super delicious varieties of dishes. Excellent Sunday brunch. The palm sugar waffles were very tasty and presented very nicely. My favorite was the grand central burger, an 8oz Australian wagyu beef, with spicy aioli sauce ,arugulas, tomatoes, onion, on a brioche buns. Also the goat cheese salad which has yellow and red beets, orange and grapefruit so good. This is a place I would highly recommend!

This place has been here for 5 yrs and I didn't even know it. They have a beautiful art display room with paintings from local artists. Oh, and BTW, way, the food is delicious, and you can order a flight of mimosas. The setup of the restaurant and the service was top-notch. It's also in the dead center of downtown Palm Springs. FREE PARKING lot for only 2 hours if you can get there early, and it's only a 5 min walk to the Marilyn Monroe statue

Loved this place, so delicious! Might be our new fav place to eat in Palm Springs. Everything we ordered was so good. The chilaquiles & the Chicken Milanese sandwich with homemade potato chips were so good. The crusted goat cheese salad is the best salad I've ever eaten, it had yummy yellow beets, a mint vinaigrette, fresh grapefruit, mandarins...yummmmm.😍 I ordered the Sangria and that didn't disappoint either.🍹 Our Server 'DK' was awesome too. So helpful, super friendly. Excellent service! We can't wait to go back soon again!

A charming, relaxed restaurant in an interesting old building that was originally a department store. The food is generous portions, fresh ingredients and delicious. The toasted chicken sandwich was one of my favourites. The restaurant features an art gallery and options to sit outside in the shade of the porch. The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, this was my favourite restaurant in Palm Springs.
