Inside it's cute but small, a couple of chairs inside and outside. I was going to go for my usual mint chocolate chip but decided to try the toffee and I'm so happy I did because it was so delicious, I ended up getting that instead. My 10 year old said we have to come here every time we go to Palm Springs lol (he had the hazelnut).

The flavor selection is rather small, but that means they get to focus more on the quality of their product. You can literally taste the difference just by sampling. Though I wanted everything (lmao), I ended up buying a single scoop each of rosemary and first date. Date is a classic & yummy flavor if you're in Palm Springs, duh... Rosemary, however, was interesting. I was worried it'd be too "grassy" or pungent because rosemary is a stronger tasting herb, but to my surprise, super well balanced with its vanilla bean base. Seriously, it was delicious. I'd like to come back for their rose pistachio and lemon meringue pie, if they still have those available. Highly recommend this spot especially if you've been hiking or out in the sun all day, it genuinely hit the spot. 100/10!!!!

The colorful cute design outside and inside the shop beckoned me to take a peek inside after a hearty crepe lunch right next door. To my delight, I discovered they had both vegan and traditional ice cream. I was able to sample a couple of flavors, and the barista who also serves as the ice cream scooper patiently waited for me to evaluate my favorite flavor. Between vegan birthday cake (very sprinkle tasting) and vegan ube, I chose ube. The ube ice cream was texturally fascinating and really tasty. With swirls of sweet potato and little bits of vegan marshmallow that gave a halo-halo feel because of the underlying coconut flavor, this ube ice cream was delicious. I kept going back for more. With great vibes, good service, and vegan ice cream options, I would come back again.

Lappert's Ice Cream in Palm Springs really hit the spot. From the first bite, I knew I was in good…read morehands. The ice cream was rich, creamy, and exactly what I needed on a warm day. 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.

We opted for the Oreo cookie, brownie fudge, s'mores, and dole whip. All were very tasty. Value: Fair I'd say. 4 items and 3 old school candies were $48. Overall: This is our absolute must go to anytime we visit Palm Springs. Definitely recommend this spot.

03/2026 While in…read morePalm Springs, we try to stop at Handel's at least once or twice for ice cream. This time, my mom was with us on our trip, so we brought her along to try it. Back home in Fenwick, DE, there used to be a small shop near her house that served homemade ice cream from a local dairy farm it was excellent. One of our favorites there was butter brickle, a rich, creamy ice cream with pieces of toffee mixed in. At Handel's, they offer a great deal where you can get four flavors in one container for around $8, and the scoops are very generous. We really liked the salted caramel, but they have close to 30 flavors, so there's definitely something for everyone. Seating is limited to just a few tables outside, and the line can get pretty long. On warmer days, you might want to keep the AC running in the car so your ice cream doesn't melt too quickly if you're taking it to go. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Palm Springs hopefully soon.

I went back today (April 14, 2026), and I'm happy to say they absolutely followed through. Whatever the issue was has been fixed, and the Butter Pecan is back to being excellent again. Really appreciate the responsiveness and care for customers. I'm a very satisfied customer and glad to see this flavor back at a 5-star level, delicious once again!
