Could the bacon be the best part of brunch?

We would go back to Wilma & Frieda, but we would change part of our order. The turkey club and honey mustard bacon gave us a reason to return. The Short Rib Eggs Benedict is something we would leave off the table next time.

Our visit started with the walk upstairs, before sitting down to share a couple of dishes. This was a comfort food stop in downtown Palm Springs, and the homemade feel came through in both the food and the atmosphere.

We chose the Chicken Club and swapped the chicken for oven roasted turkey. That was absolutely the right call for us. It is the detail we would mention to someone asking what we ordered, because the sandwich we tried was our own version of the club.

But the strongest memory from the meal was the honey mustard bacon. With a sandwich and a Benedict to try, it would have been easy for the bacon to become a passing detail. Instead, it completely stole the show and deserves its own place in our review.

We would come back for the turkey club and bacon. The Benedict would not make our next order.

The Short Rib Eggs Benedict gave us another savory dish to share. In our video, you can see the eggs and short rib beneath the sauce and greens, with potatoes alongside. Our caption called it a solid choice, but that does not mean it was a dish we would order again. We would use that part of the meal to try something else next time.

That distinction matters here: we enjoyed the stop and would return to the restaurant, without wanting to repeat every dish. For us, the club with the turkey swap and the honey mustard bacon were the parts to remember.

The bakery is the other reason we want to come back. Our video takes a look through the pastry display, including bars and other baked treats. We had already shared our savory dishes, so the homemade pastries became a plan for another visit rather than something we tasted this time.

The Pop-Tarts are at the top of that next visit list. We want to give the bakery its own moment instead of treating it as an afterthought. Until we try it, we are keeping that separate from the food we can personally review.

Two shared dishes. One standout.

We shared both dishes rather than choosing separate Lana and Kyle orders.

Next time: The bakery, especially the homemade Pop-Tarts. We have not tasted them yet.
