Cream Palmilla

Cream Palmilla is a restaurant at The Shoppes at Palmilla in San José del Cabo, Los Cabos, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily from 7 AM to 10 PM. It sits under the white arches and tiled roof of the shopping center at kilometre 27.5 of the Transpeninsular Highway, with a front terrace shaded by a striped awning and coconut palms overhead. Cream calls it its Palmilla spot for brunch and good moments, with a morning menu that runs from Mexican breakfast plates to pancakes and French toast. Palmilla is the original Cream; a second location opened at Ánima Village in Cabo del Sol in December 2025.

Breakfast runs from chilaquiles, enchiladas suizas and huevos rancheros divorciados to buttermilk pancakes, omelettes, açaí bowls and fruit bowls with Greek yogurt, backed by an espresso bar, cold-pressed juices and smoothies. Later in the day the kitchen turns to oven-baked pizzas on Neapolitan sauce, five signature pastas, salads with greens from Miraflores, burgers, a club sandwich and a breaded chicken breast, with boneless buffalo chicken, mac and cheese, truffle fries and guacamole for sharing. The bar mixes signature and classic cocktails, mimosas and margaritas, and pours wines from Valle de Guadalupe, Napa Valley and Italy. The menu marks vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, there is a kids menu, and the big games play on screen. Private dinners, baby showers and birthday parties are arranged through Cream's contact form.

Why Cream Palmilla Stands Out

A terrace under white arches — Tables sit on the front terrace of The Shoppes at Palmilla, under a striped awning, white columns and coconut palms.

Brunch at the center — Mexican breakfast plates, pancakes, French toast and egg dishes from 7 AM, with mimosas and cocktails on the same menu.

Produce from Miraflores — Lettuce, arugula, oranges and tomatoes from the farming town of Miraflores, and its dried beef in the breakfast machaca.

Pizza and pasta until 10 PM — Oven-baked pizzas, five signature pastas and mains such as a wood-oven salmon carry the menu through dinner.

Must-Try Dishes

Cream French Toast — French toast with fresh and stewed apple, a quenelle of mascarpone, toasted pistachios and a subtle touch of tarragon.

Eggs with Machaca Choyera — Scrambled eggs with sautéed vegetables and dried shredded beef from Miraflores, with beans, grilled panela, avocado and flour tortillas.

Buttermilk Pancakes — Buttermilk pancakes served with smoked bacon, butter and maple syrup, a classic start to a Palmilla morning.

Breaded Chicken Breast — A 350-gram breaded chicken breast with a cucumber and fennel salad, ranch dressing and a roasted lemon.

Meat Pizza — Neapolitan sauce and mozzarella under beef steak, salami, pepperoni, sausage, cherry peppers, mushrooms and red onion.

Roasted Beets — Roasted beets with creamy goat cheese, arugula, Miraflores orange, toasted pistachios and pomegranate molasses.
