Wilma & Frieda's Cafe

Palm Desert, Palm Springs · Breakfast · $$

Wilma wore cat-eye glasses and Frieda could put dinner for twenty on the table without warning; the cafe named for them cooks in that register, comfort food nudged slightly upmarket. Breakfast tarts and a griddled meatloaf with eggs anchor a menu that stays busy through El Paseo's shopping hours. Expect a wait in season, when the whole valley seems to be eating breakfast at once.
