Palm Springs Bites is an independent dining journal covering restaurants, coffee shops, and bars across the Coachella Valley. I’m Andrew Smith, the editor and writer, and I’ve worked in the valley’s restaurant industry for 30 years. (About me)
Invite me
I love to showcase the local industry. I write about what I enjoy (and not what I don’t). I’m always looking for a new story. My subjects are independently selected. But if you’ve got something to talk about or something I need to know, let me know. I’m always open to trying something new. I love retelling stories. And I’m also keen to hear about new openings, soft launches, and tasting events.
Coverage That Lasts
I write for the web first and social media second, so my posts keep working for years, not days, and they all land on Google’s first page.
My most-read story so far is Les Filles Café, a profile of the owners behind a Cathedral City café. The café shared it with its own followers, and it traveled from there. That’s what an In The Spotlight feature can do for a small business.
Top posts include:
- Les Filles Café: A French–Italian Love Story Rooted in Cathedral City
- Palm Springs Michelin Guide 2026
- Bird Lands in Palm Springs: A New Daytime Café from F10 Hospitality
