Original Date Shake
Christopher C.

Let me start by saying this review is only for the Date Shake. There is a store here and other food options. Whenever I head to the Palm Springs area a Date Shake stop is a must do. I have a go to spot but finally decided to stop here. As for the shake there is original option and a banana date shake option. What I like about Hadley's is they have the option to add mix ins and they have quite a few choices. I opted for the original this time so I can get a baseline taste. Overall I really enjoyed the shake and will try banana/date with a peanut butter mix in next time. I deducted one star as there was a line to get the shake and it took 10-15 minutes to get my shake. I felt the service could have gone faster. They even have a line just for date shakes and it still was slow.

This review is for their shake and soft serve Hadley is known for their dates, dried fruit, nuts, and gifts. They are a grocery store with a cafe attached to it. When you go in their cafe there is a line for their popular date shakes and a line for their food. The date shake line is always long but worth the wait. I went after shopping with two other people and we tried their shake and new soft serve. I love that theres an option for their regular date shake or their banana date shake. For a little more you can do add-ins such as strawberry, coffee, or chocolate. I paid an additional $1.50 for their honey roasted peanut to be added to my banana date shake. It was divine and delicious. I highly recommend it if you like banana and peanut butter. I also got to try their date soft soft which was also good but I still liked my shake better. A serving of their soft serve was huge. Just be warned there is dairy. In their cafe, they also have hot dogs, tamales, burgers and pizzas. I do want to come back and try their other date shakes and their chili dog. Pricing is affordable and the cafe is casual. There are plenty of places to sit but it was quite busy that Friday we came. The people working went as fast as they can go. I cannot wait to go back.

On our way home from Morongo Casino, was told we had to get a date shake from Hadley. Our first time here, first impression, reminds us of a Buc-ee's. I was so excited when I walked in! I loved the variety of items and flavors offered, I want one of everything! Definitely come here and get a date shake, you won't regret it! We did buy some snacks for the ride home. Will definitely stop by on any future road trips. Customer service was on point on all levels.

Hadley Fruit Orchards in Cabazon is one of those classic roadside stops that feels almost mandatory if you're driving through the area. I pulled off the freeway for a date shake, and it was absolutely delicious and totally worth the quick detour. It's an easy in and out stop, which makes it perfect when you want a treat without turning it into a whole excursion. The place has a charm that makes it feel timeless rather than dated. It's a great little pause button on the drive between Palm Springs and home, and honestly, that date shake alone is reason enough to stop.

Famous Date Shake pit stop
Linda C.

Stopped in for the Famous Date Shake, truly worth the stop for this sweet treat. The "stand" is located conveniently near food, gas and roadside favorites and the Cabazon Outlets and Morongo Casino Resort. Harley's has been around forever and is an institution for its "Famous Date Shakes" made with vanilla ice cream (soft serve). Made from dates from local sourced date farm. Sometimes the line can be long, but it goes fast and is worth it. They do offer a few add in flavors now (honey, chocolate, etc$ but I'm a purest. The date shake is available in the cafe area of Hadley's, which also offer food (hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches and baked goods). And there is also a Hadleys store section with cold drinks, souvenirs, some pretty tasty beef jerky, preserves and such.

Super quick and efficient, a good pick me up since it is really sweet but also yummy!

Date flavor, soft, serve ice cream...
Carina F.

I was pleasantly surprised after getting cheaper gas right next-door, to see Hadley Fruit Orchards was still in business, located in the Morongo Travel Center. Their store has dates, dried fruit, nuts, and gifts. They have a great selection, but I think it's somewhat pricey. Something that you should not pass up is their date shakes, or their date flavored soft, serve ice cream! Delicious with just the perfect amount of date! So happy to have this blast from my past!

The last time I went to Hadley's was about 25 years ago and they were in the old building. After spending 4 days in Quartzsite Arizona, buying minerals, I decided on stopping to check out the store. Walking in I saw a clean, well organized selection of nuts, jams, candy, chocolate covered dates, jerky, sandwiches and Yes their famous date shakes. After spending about 20 minutes I made my purchase selections, a bag of dark chocolate covered dates and a bag of dark chocolate cover almonds. Both were absolutely delicious but my favorite were the dark chocolate covered Noor dates. The price was good. The 2 bags were a little under $20 after tax.

Came to Harley's for the first time, didn't know what to expect, cool grocery store / sandwich stand? Popular for their date shakes? We ordered date shakes and a date soft serve ice cream. The shake was rich and creamy while having date bits n pieces inside, was kind of heavy, the soft serve was light and creamy with a decent flavor of date but not over powering. Would get the soft serve again over the shake. All the staff we had encountered were friendly and helpful.

I love shopping here. This store offers so many off the wall, custom and unique items. From food items, beverages, souvenirs and other nicknacks. Prices are reasonable, selection is good and the employees are very friendly and helpful.

More little souvenirs

Hadley's has come up from its little farm stand roots ! They have some new features to their farm stand ! Cafe is a nice travel destination serving a unique date soft serve (so mild on the stomach no regrets ! ) plus date and banana date shakes ! Service was quick ,fast ,polite and friendly, courteous and more than helpful I know I told the lady at the register ringing up my mother's goodies she was amazing but I had to repeat here she's a stellar employee! Sundries by the bushel, souvenirs galore and just an all time fun family friendly desert stop!

banana-date shake
Monty D.

I've been coming here for date shakes for decades--and I'll keep coming for decades more. No matter how many changes this place has gone through - a new location, new ownership: the one thing that's remained constant is the quality of their date shakes. Yes, they sell fruit and other items (see my pics for a glimpse of their produce selection), but let's be honest: I'm here for the date shakes. They've built a reputation that holds up year after year, and for good reason. On this visit, I tried the banana-date shake. It was everything I hoped for - rich, creamy, perfectly ice cold, and bursting with sweet, succulent flavor. The banana added a smooth depth that paired beautifully with the natural sweetness of the dates. It's the kind of treat that instantly cools you down and satisfies a craving you didn't even know you had until that first sip. There's a comforting consistency to their shakes that makes them worth the stop every time.

Date shake with chocolate and peanut added
Christian C.

We stopped by Hadley's Orchard on our way home from camping in Idyllwild and are so glad we did! We came specifically to try their famous date shakes, and they absolutely lived up to the hype--smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet. I highly recommend adding chocolate and peanut butter mix-ins for an extra indulgent treat! The spot is more than just a shake stop--there's a full restaurant and a well-stocked store with snacks, gifts, and local goods. Everything was very clean, and the place was clearly popular with both locals and travelers. Whether you're craving a date shake or looking for a fun roadside stop, Hadley's is worth the detour.

The best date shake ever. Didn't know they existed! Delish. Will be back many times. My colleague liked his sandwich, too.

I visited this country store after apple picking since my friends and I were craving apple cider…read moreand my experience here was pretty good. The apple cider was good, but I would've preferred it to be colder and not served in a Styrofoam cup. I'm assuming that's because it was the end of the day and it looked like they were running out of apple cider and other materials. I also got the apple cider popsicle for $2 which was a good deal. It was good, but I didn't like how the juice separated from the water during the freezing so it tasted like regular ice by the time I got to the core of the popsicle. For food, I tried their Strawberry Banana Sweet Bread and that was my favorite thing! It was not too sweet and moist. It was $6.50, but not too bad for a whole loaf. The interior was fun and rustic. There are several things to shop for from different baked goods to nic nacs. The service here was pretty good and the staff seemed nice and personable. There's some parking out front as well as some picnic benches and tables with nice views of the mountains and foliage while you enjoy your treats. Overall, a good stop for some casual shopping and to enjoy a sweet treat if you're ever in the Oak Glen area.

I have been getting my apple fix since I can remember from this local spot. I moved away to Hawai'i…read moreand missed the apples so much. I took a trip up to get my fix. The staff was so nice and friendly made me miss home. The. Christmas jam was delicious and now my favorite. I was worried they weren't going to have winesap apples since it wasn't apple season but I was so happy they had them. I was able to bring back a bag to Hawai'i with me in my carry one. If you like varieties of apples this is the place to go to. They give you slices to try and it's so hard to pick which one because they all taste so good. Mahalo and A Hui Hou.

Willowbrook Apple Farm

My family and I enjoyed our experience at Willowbrook Apple Farm! I signed up for their newsletter…read morein order to get reservations for the farm, and found it to be a fairly easy process. The $45 per person covers entry, in addition to one apple cider can (a pretty large one), an apple treat (we got apple pie made at a local bakery), and a bag of apples. We got there about half an hour before opening and were one of the first ones there, which was helpful when choosing/picking apples as later on the farm got busier. The apples were a fair size--lots of damaged ones but I'm sure that means they don't use any pesticides or anything. The farm also had two cute and friendly kitties that came up to us! Overall, I would recommend this farm for a nice little getaway from LA city life. I would recommend booking a reservation and arriving early, as parking can get packed and the farm does get pretty busy.

My family and I came on a weekend! We found street parking close by, and were able to walk right in…read morewithout a reservation. The worker at the front was kind and informative. We bought 2 bags ($25 each), which they said could hold around 6 pounds of apples each. I loved picking apples at this farm! In the past we went apple picking at one of the nearby, bigger apple farms, but we enjoyed this one a lot! It's smaller than the more popular ones nearby, but I liked how it wasn't crowded. We were able to take our time picking apples, and we were able to find lots of red, juicy apples to bring home! There was a cute, friendly cat on the farm along with a pig and 2 mini horses. The scenery nearby was so pretty, and there were plenty of trees to pick apples from. I really enjoyed my experience, and would love to come back next year!
