Downtown Palm Springs Breakfast and Coffee Spots
Koffi Central Palm Springs
They have several locations depending on what area you are staying in, but Koffi in Palm Springs has hands down the best coffee and great smoothies/pastries. This particular location has a nice sitting area behind the store
Cozy Breakfast spot with high quality food, it's popular and can be lined up at times, so if possible try and make a reservation
Another good option for a high quality breakfast in downtown Palm springs
Another good option that is not connected to our system is Sherman's Deli on Tahquitz Canyon. It's a classic diner with great breakfast and outdoor patio and reasonable pricing. An excellent choice after a hike!
Recommended Hiking Trails near Downtown
Easily accessible trail near downtown that has a steady climb and provides some great views
Steep climb, but provide a great view over downtown Palm Springs
Another easily accessible trail, this one is in the sun and gets warm, so it's a nice choice for a cooler day.
This is a state park of sorts and has a fee to access, but has some beautiful unique hikes along a creek bed.
This is an amazing hike to the highest peak in the valley, takes around 2 hours to complete, but it's a rewards hike that starts on Bogart Rd and ends at Murray's Peak

Another Restaurant not on our system. Norma's at the Parker is a unique dining experience with some great food. It's a little pricier, but the Parker is a classic 60s hotel that is a real experience to see. It's close to the Araby Trailhead and can be good to combine the two.
Another great hike is the Chuckwalla Trail located near the Ritz Carlton in Rancho Mirage. It's a unique hike that rolls up and down and afterwards grab a lunch @ State Fare the restaurant at Ritz Carlton, it has some great food choices and a beautiful view over the vallery. https://www.palmspringslife.com/hike-of-the-month-chuckwalla-trail-loop-in-rancho-mirage/

El Paseo Shopping District
This is a high end shopping area, but it's a beautiful area to walk around and has some nice Restaurants.
Dinner spots Downtown Palm Springs
This is a must visit restaurant, be sure to book ahead, but you can also arrive and give them your phone number while you walk around downtown. They will text you when a table is ready. Really great modern Mexican food and margarita flights
