A museum restaurant for specialty coffee and modern California food, with a fountain-side patio in the sculpture garden.
No museum ticket is needed to dine at Livs, despite its location inside Palm Springs Art Museum. Check restaurant hours separately—particularly on Thursday evenings—because gallery opening times do not necessarily match meal service.
Why it made the guide
Coffee, brunch, or lunch can come immediately before or after the galleries, and the sculpture-garden patio adds an outdoor dining option at the same location.
