    matcha latte + white chocolate syrup

    We stopped by for coffee and matcha on our way out from Joshua Tree & were very pleased with our experience. I ordered an iced matcha latte with white chocolate syrup and it was a perfect balance of flavors & sweetness! We saw there were 5-star reviews at The Coyote Cone, which essentially was the same shop. The girls working there seemed super sweet & it was fun looking around the shop at the stickers, books, and pamphlets while we waited for our orders. Very peaceful desert vibes. Definitely will be returning next time we're in J Tree!

    My family and I were in the area visiting Palm Springs as a vacation spot and of course, searching for coffee before heading out! We googled some nearby spots and Desert Dog was one that came on our radar so we decided to check it out. It literally felt like we went to a spot in the middle of nowhere, well, the desert, for a local pit stop. This place is super cute on the outside and interior, which gives it a lot of character. We were greeted upon entering and overall, service was very friendly. I love the fun names they have for their beverages and even unique options such as spicing up your coffee with cayenne pepper! I ended up ordering the Lucky Dog which is a cold brew with Irish cream syrup and a vanilla cold foam (which I didn't really notice when I got my drink, it looked more like an iced latte). The flavor was good but their coffee wasn't nearly as strong as I would like. Silly detail, but I love that they use crushed ice - the best ice. Overall, a fun stop but does not quite hit the spot for true coffee drinkers.

    This was a perfect coffee spot stop on my travel through Arizona. I would stop here again in a heartbeat. The owner behind the counter was kind an patient as I browsed the menu and ordered 5 breakfast sandwiches for family. The sandwich was delicious and the coffee I ordered was tasty. The shop also is an ice cream shop! I didn't try the ice cream, it was early but the space to eat is warm and inviting. The Saddles at the chalk wall are a great place for kids to enjoy drawing while their parents wait for their order.

    S'mores coffee

    My boyfriend wanted to grab a coffee for the road and we stumbled upon this shop. Upon entering the shop is cute and there are a wide variety of drinks, ice cream flavors and treats. He ended up getting a S'mores coffee for the road. We both tried it and the drink tasted like chocolate milk vs s'mores. Based on this first encounter and the drink not tasting like s'mores, we gave it a 3. Maybe the other flavor offerings are closer to the intended type, but this one didn't meet the mark unfortunately. Aside from that, the people inside the store, (customers and employees), made the experience pleasant.

    Stopped at this place on 02.16.25 on our way to Joshua Tree...decided to give it a shot since the reviews weren't bad. Ummm I don't like giving bad reviews because everyone has off days BUT the lattes we ordered were so bland. It was milk with a hint of coffee...maybe. I ordered a honey lavender latte and my husband ordered an apple cinnamon latte. Both were bland, both just had a lot of milk. For reference, we ordered 16oz lattes. Can't recommend, don't know if I would ever go back. Ended up tossing both.

    Stopped by to grab some coffee on the way and this place was on spot! The service was super friendly and the place look's pretty cool. You might think that its an ice-cream place but trust me they have good coffee inside. We had the chai tea, the snake bite coffee and the dessert dog coffee. Both coffees were something I haven't experienced before. The coffee is not sweet or strong and it has a really nice flavors in it. I would suggest that you add another espresso shot if you want a coffee taste but just like that its light but good. I highly recommend either coffees if you like to try some new flavors. This place have an outdoor seating too if someone wants to chill around. They also serve breakfast.

    Worst coffee ever waste of gas money and customer service was as dead as the coffee. Would not recommend. Maybe they should only sell ice cream. Or maybe they don't like black people either worst coffee experience ever.

    Vanilla Iced Latte

    The girls working here were nice however the coffee is not great. My boyfriend got a smoothie, wasn't bad we liked it. I ordered a vanilla iced latte and was quite disappointed. It tasted so watered down. I don't know if it's the beans they use or if the espresso shot wasn't pulled correctly. Overall it tasted like a pre made iced coffee brew from the refrigerated section at the grocery store. Not my favorite place to get coffee in the desert, I'd just rather drive an extra 30 minutes up the road for great coffee. The shop is small and has a bit of seating. They also have a little lending library which I loved that they have that! Overall I think this place may be more popular for their shakes as it is part of the Coyote Cone.

I was in need of a natural juice for hydration and cleanse and saw this shop on Yelp. Since I was down the street charging my work laptop at the Public Library, it was perfect for the short distance and parking. Inside, it's like any other juice shop, and the young man who took and made my order was really nice. He had pride in his work, too. That's the highest compliment I can give. I had an issue with a tooth amidst a root canal at the time, so he avoided using ice to prevent any problems. Given the heat outside, it would have been better, but better safe than sorry is a good maximum. The fruit was fresh and all flavors merged well. I drank it too quickly perhaps, but it quenched my thirst and need for nutrition.

Honestly, it almost makes you forget that at first, the staff seemed a little hesitant to greet us. It was like they were waiting for us to prove we were serious about dessert before welcoming us properly. But once we started ordering, all that vanished, and it was pure ice cream bliss. The vibes at Lappert's are great. The place has a fun, cheerful energy that makes it feel like a mini escape right in downtown Palm Springs. Whether it's the tropical décor, the colorful selection of flavors, or just the sheer joy of eating ice cream in public without judgment, it's an experience. I'm not sure if this is a new generation kind of thing, but the ice cream alone completely made up for the initial awkwardness. I would absolutely recommend Lappert's to anyone visiting Palm Springs. I'm definitely going back, and I'm not entirely sure what I'll try next, but that is part of the fun. Every visit feels a little like a surprise adventure, and somehow the combination of high-quality ice cream and quirky vibes keeps you coming back for more. If you're in town and craving a sweet treat, this is the place to go.

Here I was to experience it once more. Yes, I've been here in the past. Parking was easy right in front of the shop. It was about 20 minutes until closing time. There was still a line, but not too long so it went swiftly. Atmosphere was clean and bright. Ambiance has a Hawaiian flare to it. If I didn't know better, I would have thought I was in Hawaii. Limited outside seating and some inside seating. There's a cool cabana hut-like section you may sit at. One all gender restroom available for use. Staff was super fantastic and friendly. They serve the ice cream in quite a variety... fruit bowls, mangonada, vegan/dairy free ice cream, soft serve, floats, shakes, etc. You may even take home pre-packaged pints to-go. Cute shirts for sale, too. As for here, free samples available on any flavors. You may try them all (that's what they say). Sweet! Of course I didn't try all of them, but maybe one day I will. WOW, so many unique and interesting combination of flavors. I sampled 5 flavors as shown below. *Navels & Ganache - Bright navel orange ice cream mixed with rich, dark chocolate ganache chunks *Ube Macapuno - Philippine purple ube root mixed with macapuno (coconut) puree *Date Casablanca - Medajool date ice cream with a date/caramel swirl *Honeysuckle Rose - Honey sweetened vanilla ice cream with rose petal extract *Kauai Pie - Kona coffee ice cream, Hawaiian macadamia nuts, shredded and lightly toasted coconut, and rich dark chocolate fudge I ended up getting one regular cup with 2 flavors for $6.50... very reasonable price! My two picks were Ube Mascapuno and Kauai Pie. Good size scoops. Very rich and smooth texture. Ube was spectacular! YUMMY!! Kauai was good, but unfornately, it didn't pair too well with Ube IMHO. I won't do that again. I will, however, return and try their other fun and tasty flavors. I'll be back and so should you if you've been here before. If you haven't tried them, Lappert's is a must visit when you're in Redlands. Happy Ice Cream!
