Norma's sits on the grounds of Parker Palm Springs, a brightly colored, open-air terrace room built from white slump block and wood that stays bright and open through the day. Breakfast runs all day until 3 p.m., ranging from simple poached eggs and grapefruit to French toast, pancakes, and waffles, with gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options throughout. In the evening the room turns cozy and votive-lit, and the menu narrows to a short list of California-fresh dinner entrées.
Regulars gravitate toward the huevos rancheros and the fish and chips, though execution and service can vary from visit to visit — some servers have built a following of their own. The overall mood stays comfortable and low-key, whether diners are settling in for a long breakfast or a quieter dinner.
