Chula Eatery - La Quinta

Delicious California Mexican Café with a lot to eat for vegans and other

I ordered the vegan pancakes. They were pretty good and the cinnamon butter was nice. They are gluten-free, but were not chewing and had the texture of regular pancakes that is a plus. My only complaint is that the real maple syrup tasted like regular pancake syrup. The fruit on the side were strawberries and blueberries that were super tasty. I also like that they offer non-daire milk for your latte/coffee drinks. I will definitely come back to try some drinks and other foods.

I saw they had vegan pancakes, so I was excited. One of my pancakes was not completely boiled and I think they put real butter on them or it is not really vegan or maybe the pat milk was real milk. My stomach explodes when I ask lactose intolerance. That's why I know there was milk somewhere in my food. The waitress was nice, but slow. The decor is very sweet.

The Palm Springs area can be a bit a vegan food desert, so we were happy to find this place marked with vegan options clearly on the menu. We tried the vegan bowl and vegan pancakes. Both were great, but the cinnamon butter on the pancake was really out. We will definitely keep Chula on our list of options when we are in the Coachella Valley.

Really cool place with good vegan options, including dessert. Not going to blow your mind, but a solid choice in an area without many other choices. Very friendly and helpful staff.
