Cheeky’s in Palm Springs is a breakfast and lunch spot known for its creative, scratch-made dishes and a menu that changes weekly. The kitchen uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and the rotating menu means there is always something new to try — regulars come back often just to see what is on offer. The food leans inventive without being fussy, and portions are satisfying.

What sets Cheeky’s apart for dog owners is the dog-friendly outdoor patio, where you’ll find plenty of shade and a genuinely relaxed vibe. Dogs are a common sight here, so your pup will fit right in with the crowd. The staff are genuinely welcoming to canine guests, and the shaded seating keeps things comfortable even as the desert heats up during the day. You can watch other dogs and their owners while you eat, which somehow makes the whole experience feel less isolating than dining alone indoors.

The bright, lively dining room inside is appealing if the weather turns, but the patio is really where you want to be with your dog. The location in the uptown Palm Springs neighborhood is walkable and gives you easy options for extending your visit beyond brunch. You can stroll with your dog through the surrounding streets afterward, checking out the galleries and shops in the area. This makes Cheeky’s a natural starting point for a morning or early afternoon that feels less rushed than typical restaurant trips.

The menu changes frequently enough that even if you’ve been before, you’ll likely encounter dishes you haven’t tried. You might find anything from loaded toast with seasonal toppings to inventive egg preparations to salads that don’t feel like an afterthought. Portions are substantial, so you’re not leaving hungry.
