Cheeky's
Brunch · Uptown Design District · $$
Cheeky's is the Palm Springs breakfast institution — a small, bright storefront on North Palm Canyon with a menu that changes weekly and a bacon flight that has become a local rite of passage. Expect five rotating strips (maple, jalapeño, chipotle and whatever the kitchen is testing), farm-egg dishes, and a sharp seasonal approach that is unusual for a breakfast place. There are maybe a dozen tables inside plus a patio, no reservations, and a line that starts before opening on winter weekends. Prices are moderate for the quality; portions are generous without being diner-sized.
