We were craving ice cream after dinner and found this little gem. It's retro inside and they have a large menu of ice cream and shakes and floats. Some of the best cookie dough ice cream around for sure. They also sell candy, trinkets, and even bags of coffee. Plenty of seats outside and a couple inside too. read more

Came with my family in the evening for a small treat as we were on a little trip out here and it's such a fun place! My husband and I shared the gelati and it was so good! There was a small line but it went by fast and all the workers were nice and efficient! I love how they sell a bunch of cute little Knick Knacks. Loved the vibes in there. Definitely a nice place to get a little dessert :) read more

Okay, my wife and I are ice cream snobs so I was not expecting a lot when I was recommended this place. It absolutely blew me away. The ice cream sundae was so good, and the service was great too.

Mojave Freeze is located in a tiny shop across from Vons in Yucca Valley. This was really good ice cream. Yucca Valley definitely needed something like this for a long time. We love supporting the local establishments. The flavors I tried were very good and plentiful of the bits and pieces of chocolate and berries . The employee did not catch his name had quite the line today around 3 on a Sunday and was working his butt off. He was very friendly even as the line grew and grew to where it was almost out the door. I can definitely see this place being packed with longer lines in the warmer months. Can't wait to try more flavors in the future. Definitely stop and give them a try! read more

If you're a fan of '90s nostalgia, Mojave Freeze is absolutely worth checking out! The vibe is awesome, with fun throwback decor that brings back a lot of great memories. They have a huge variety of flavors and treats, so there's something for everyone. The ice cream was fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and definitely one of the best I've had in the area. The customer service was also top-notch. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even better. Plus, there's plenty of parking, which is always a bonus. My only minor observation is that it was pretty warm inside during my visit. I'm not sure if the A/C was having issues or if it's just difficult to keep cool with the doors opening constantly, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. Great ice cream, great people, and a fun nostalgic atmosphere! read more

Mojave Freeze is about a legit as it gets! The space is quaint and comfortable indoors, and the owners are incredibly friendly. As someone who normally will avoid dairy I tasted danger and tried out the huckleberry ice cream which was phenomenal - and for those dairy-free out there, their selection of Italian ice is great! I highly recommend the lemon :) looking forward to going back soon! read more

This place is an absolute gem. Cool interior , think 90's/early 2000 cool California vibes . There was skateboard decor and they had Tom and Jerry on TV. The worker was polite and informative . We had the honey churro ice cream and the chocolate chip cookie dough. Every ice cream is actually handcrafted and super super soft . 1000 stars out of 5. We can't wait to go back! read more

THE best ice cream in the basin. The scoop ice cream is incredible, my wife loves the cafe chocolate, and I'm absolutely in love with the caramel caribou. But the best thing is the soft serve. There's no where else in town to get soft serve this good. The shop has a great vibe that fits the area really well, they sell some great candies, and they have great merch too! read more

This place is such a gem! The ice cream is delicious and the atmosphere is fun, cozy, and totally unique -- it feels like a place you actually want to hang out, not just grab dessert and leave. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. You can really tell they care about what they're creating! read more

We ordered: +a slice of banana bread - this was wet and soggy, so not sure how this is even available for sale +a slice of carrot cake - this was extremely dense and decadent, and good for any carrot cake lover +an oatmeal cookie - large and had a nice crisp/chewy texture +a chive scone - super dried out and had absolutely no flavor +a hibiscus drink - super weird beverage; not sure if it was mixed with something, but it was not enjoyable +and, a milk tea - this milk tea was not prepared well; contained some pearls I was curious about their sandwiches and their pizzas, but the latter is only sold as a whole, and not by the slice. All in all, we felt that the items were misses; not worth waiting it out unless you are spending a few days in the area or are a local. Note that there's usually a line, moving along at a slow and steady pace, and they allow only 1 party in at a time. There is no seating inside, as this is strictly carry-out only. Street parking can be found in the area. +oatmeal cookie +evening hours only

I honestly don't think I've made a single desert trip without stopping in at least once. Part of it is the location. Acme 62 and Hoof + Horn are both literally right next door and both great for gifts that say "I went to the desert" without going full souvenir shop. Pioneer Crossing Antiques is also nearby and was sadly closed this Wednesday, but I normally stop in whenever it's open. The proprietors are awesome and I always find something unique to take home. Food-wise, the lox bagel was a standout. Great ratio of cream cheese, capers, dill, thin-shaved red onion, plus a little side salad of arugula and radish that actually tasted fresh instead of feeling like decoration. The yogurt parfait was small but mighty, layered with berries and granola and substantial enough to feel like breakfast. Easy seating, dog friendly, and plenty of sandwiches and salads if you're not in a bagel mood. Tasty, fresh, quick, and just enough "we did something" energy before heading back to the Airbnb to relax and beat the heat.
