    Kreem is an adorable mini cafe serving coffee and ice cream a little ways down on the main strip in Palm Springs. 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.

    SUPER low-key spot & I gotta be honest, this is some of the highest quality and uniquely flavored homemade ice cream I've had in a very long time. 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!!!!

    I stopped by Kreem while in Palm Springs and overall, it was good -- just not five-star good. The ice cream itself was delicious. Creamy, rich, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The flavors were enjoyable and satisfying, and I don't regret stopping in. That said, while it was tasty, it didn't quite have that wow factor that would make me go out of my way to return or rave about it. The space itself is really cute -- clean, well-kept, and aesthetically pleasing. You can tell effort was put into the look and vibe of the shop, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, what held this place back for me (and seems to be a recurring theme in California lately) was the attitude of the staff. The interaction felt cold and unwelcoming, almost like customers were an inconvenience. No one was outright rude, but there was very much a "don't want to be here" energy, which takes away from what should be a fun, lighthearted experience -- especially at an ice cream shop. Good ice cream + a nice space can only go so far if the service feels flat. A little warmth or friendliness would make a noticeable difference here. Overall, solid ice cream, pleasant environment, but the experience felt incomplete. Worth trying if you're nearby, just don't expect a standout or particularly welcoming visit.

    Really great ice cream shop in Palm Springs. Ordered the espresso and rosemary flavors and both were really great! Cute decor, lots of seasonal flavors and some vegan options as well. Definitely a must when visiting the Coachella Valley area.

    At the end of an awesome road trip to see Joshua Tree National Park and Pioneertown I was looking for ice cream to take home. I found Kreem on the road out of Palm Springs. Ice cream was rich and creamy. The persimmon flavor had a delicious sweet persimmon flavor. Lemon was a mix of sweetness from the cream and lots of lemon flavor. A bit like Girl Scouts lemon cream cookies. Delicious. :-) Vanilla bean ice cream was cold, rich, and creamy. Loved the sweet vanilla bean flavor. Rosemary was rich sweet creamy with a light rosemary flavor. Cookies and cream had rich and sweet vanilla with chocolatey Oreo cookies. Awesome. Very nice ice cream maker gave me samples and told me about his ice cream. There are many delicious flavors and next time I'll get double pints of my favorites.

    So cute and quaint. Small seating area inside. A couple tables and chairs outside. The ice cream is great! So great I visited back to back days lol. Got the cookies and cream (so many cookies- love that!) one day and then got a dirty chia the next. Close to all the hotels & a great way to end your day.

    Came here after dinner for some dessert and their ice cream is really tasty & has different flavors to choose from and not just store bought flavors which we enjoyed tasting the many flavors they have!

    Salted Chocolate

    The esthetics of this place were so adorable but the service was unfriendly. It was a very limited selection of flavors. We asked for a sample and she served a cup. My daughter tried it but we didn't like it and she still charged us the $7 for the scoop. I love ice cream! The flavors were okay but the service made the experience even more disappointing. Paying $31 for four scoops with unfriendly service just wasn't worth it. Cute place, but unfortunately, we won't be back.

    Such cute decor

    I love this place! I tried two of the vegan flavors, the almond saffron and the chocolate, they were both to die for. My husband opted for the popcorn flavor, which was unique and in his words "what the popcorn jelly belly wishes it were." I don't know how they got that flavor into the ice cream, but it was great! The service was friendly and the vibes and ambiance were perfection! Wish I lived in Palm Springs so I could visit this shop regularly!

    Ice cream here is so good! We tried a few flavors and my favorite was the lucuma (Peruvian fruit) mixed with pistachios it was sooo delicious with a floral but also nutty flavor. My fiancés favorite was the funky cold Medina which was an orange blossom base. The coffee here is really good too - we ordered a coconut latte and it wasn't too sweet with a good hint of coconut.

    Cookies & kreem

    Perfect spot for ice cream in Palm Springs! I was looking for ice cream while visiting and didn't want to go through a ton of options (decision fatigue). I like that the menu is small but still offers a good variety of flavors. I sampled the salted chocolate and cookies & kreem; ended up going with the later and did not disappoint. Had a lot of cookies if you're into that! Creamy milk, perfect ice cream! You can get from 1-3 scoops or a pint. It isn't cheap, one scoop cost $6.75 but at least it tasted delicious. Quick and friendly service, I'd go back.

    Funky Cold Medina: 5 stars! The Funky Cold Medina ingredients: orange blossom water, sesame honey halva, pistachio. 5 star flavor! Not too sweet, and very unique. Reminds me of the faloodeh ice cream for those of you that know! The orange blossom and toasted sesame flavor gives a slight nutty and refreshing flavor to this creamy treat. I highly recommend you try this flavor. Nice, clean place and service is 5 stars. I look forward to coming back and getting the Funky Cold Medina again!

    iced matcha, ube affogato, iced vanilla coffee

    The service was very nice. The server answered all our questions and was super polite. The ambiance is very cute for aesthetic pics. As far as drinks go, i gave it a four due to the not so great iced matcha. It tasted almost grainy and too bitter. The server was nice to put more flavoring for my friend who got it but other than that it wasn't good. Do not get the matcha if you are a matcha lover. However, the ube affogato and iced coffee were very delicious. I loved how the ube ice cream was vegan and the drink was a perfect balance of bitter and sweet. The iced vanilla coffee was good too. I didn't try it but my boyfriend said he liked it. So overall, come for the coffee and ice cream!!

Food: They are shakes and they are good. They are sweet because ice cream, fruit, peanut butter, chocolate, etc. It's friggin' sugar! It is also hot in Palm Springs and ice cream shakes really hit the spot. The shakes rate 4 to 5 out of 5 so you will not go wrong here. We got a few Date Shakes and they are open later than Shields Date farm so if you need a date shake fix. I recommend Great Shakes. Service: They are an order-to-fixing-to-serving machine at Great Shakes. Efficient and polite service. Ambiance: In July heat the only ambiance i wanted was air conditioning and they have it. The fact it was old Palm Springs-Rat Pack-1950/60s decor was the cherry on top (pun intended).

The texture was a solid 10/10--super smooth with the perfect consistency. I'd definitely say this is one of the best premium shakes I've had. It also helped me survive the triple-digit heat outside. If you're in the area, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

And have proven themselves to be true artisans in the art of shake elevation. The extraordinary libations they concoct seem to defy logic, seeking to enchant each drink with a level of divine deliciousness not often attempted, and rarely accomplished. But this they manage to do. Each time. So hats off to Monster Shakes for their whimsical creations, and the supreme love they have for their customers. Your dedication to your community is made stronger with every ring of a bell that signals a new customer at your door. Thank you.

    lady in the front was very very rude it was my first time coming into this shop and never have i…read moreever heard of being charged $1 for a freakin spoon?! that's so crazy in my opinion i got shaved ice in a drink cup and asked for a spoon as well and she was like we can't just give out plastic utensils for free if you get the bowl it comes with a spoon but since you got the drink cup it only comes with a straw and at first i thought she was joking and i laughed but she was serious and i never in my life heard of that so she was like you can buy a spoon i was like um okay thinking it was 10 cents or something cheap but she went ahead and said $1 i was like a $1 for a plastic spoon really now and she went ahead and rolled her eyes like god forbid if i had my son and my son we sometimes go in places to get a plastic spoon for him to take his medicine on and every place i have gone into just gives out the spoons usually or even have them out to grab and i was just thinking god forbid we ever come in here needing a utensil for that reason because my goodness it seemed like she definitely is pocketing the money because who in their right mind charges a $1 for a plastic spoon you can go buy a whole pack at the freakin dollar tree! The location in cat city is definitely better the guys there are so so friendly they gave me a free cotton once but don't tell the owner at this location or she'll have a heart attack! sadly it was closed for repairs so we went to this one and will definitely never be coming back i've read the reviews and it seems like a lot of people have issues with this certain lady and she tries to comment to justify her behavior or why she acted that way so she can feel better at the end of day im sure she will do it to this response as well but pay no mind no one should ever charge a whole dollar for a plastic spoon im surprised she didn't charge me for a napkin or breathing the same air as her inside the shop. Attaching pictures of the owners response since you can't fully reply back to the response so i am posting another review: You buy your stores utensils FOR your customers so yes it is absolutely not the customers problem to pay for a spoon since it is intended for your paying customers! if a random homeless person came in needed one sure you can be cruel and not give them one without paying for it but for a PAYING customer you shouldn't have them pay an extra thing as silly as a freakin spoon and especially charging $1 for it! you clearly don't know how to run a business you charge more for a spoon than wendy's or mcdonald's does for a freakin sauce and some people don't want their shaved ice in a bowl because it melts faster i simply wanted mine in a cup for a reason for it to stay cooler and not melt faster we are in the desert after all aren't we?! i got mine in a cup at the other location and they were more than willing to give me a spoon to use, and i brought up my sons medication as an example if you clearly read it you would've seen that! If you want your business to keep going and actually show you are a clean business owner you accommodate to your PAYING customers needs! Like you said you buy all your supplies for your customers so me simply asking for a spoon for my shaved ice shouldn't have been a problem regardless of where the shaved ice ending up going in. You trying to justify otherwise just makes it 100% worse. You lack empathy and don't know anything about customer satisfaction. If you're complaining about your customers complaining about buying a stupid utensils than maybe you shouldn't be running a business at all because at the end of the day a true business owner knows it's always about leaving the customer happy and satisfied which you lack completely and other people clearly see it as well. Take care and hope you improve your attitude and behavior for the sake of your business and realize being a business owner sometimes also means making sacrifices for the satisfaction of your customers! Again without customers you wouldn't even have a business. Your customers is what makes your business going so jeopardizing that for a silly reason is all on you my dear, and you saying that you pay for all your supplies yourself is absolutely what a business owner should be doing if they want a successful business?! Then you saying it absolutely matters how those supplies are used?? I believe i stated i wanted to use a spoon to EAT my shaved ice where that's intentionally what it's suppose to be for not sticking it up my skirt??? Make it make sense please, and also still no apology for her behavior of rolling her eyes and scuffing at me when i thought she was joking! Some people just really shouldn't have businesses.
