"Judging by the crowd for weekend brunch, the decade-old community gathering place, Jake’s, seems to be a Palm Springs’ institution for shaking off that morning after feeling. Dine al fresco in the courtyard on hearty dishes like  “Eggs in Purgatory”, which at Jake’s means sunny side eggs over a bed of baked tomatoes, onions, cheese, olives and homemade breakfast sausage, served with breakfast potatoes or eggs with olives and sausage. Other highlights include chocolate chip waffles washed down with a peach ginger Bellini. And if you travel with your pooch, note bene, diners with dogs are more than welcome."
