It was tasty! I had the watermelon frozen yogurt with a side of watermelon boba. My husband got strawberry frozen yogurt with some toppings. The staff is friendly. It's tucked away near the movie theater so it's perfect for grabbing a sweet treat before or after. We sat outside on the patio to enjoy in a beautiful sunny day. They don't allow samples of the yogurt which I found a tad odd. But I would return.

Monster size vegan date shake ~$12. Large size regular date shake (w/butter toffee flavor??!) ~9.

I think this is my favorite date shake spot. Kinda pricey, but there are actual pieces of dates at the bottom which are tasty. Not totally a fan of the vegan coconut base, I think oat or almond milk is better. But still not bad. The regular date shake milk base was the best though obviously, so good with the butter toffee flavor (took sips)! I think that flavoring was put in (didn't totally clarify that we wanted it but maybe the staff guy heard me say it which is fine lol--btw, sorry Mr. Staff guy for scaring you initially when you were getting ready to close up & we walked in; other customers came in last minute too oops but we appreciated you!). Too bad I'm lactose intol. I got an allergic reaction from nut contamination at Great Shakes that upset me. Lappert's was not good either with their coconut based date shake (my least fav). Will be back!

This menu is so insane and fun; probably the highlight of our trip to Palm Springs for my kids, haha! The options are basically endless. While we tried to make sense of the combos and options, my son was pretty set on a giant blue Cookie Monster smoothie. Of course they top that wild thing with a pound of whip and a cute lil donut. Service was kind and welcoming. We will definitely return to explore some more items.

Monster Shakes in the fall had me doing the Monster Mash! This frozen dessert, smoothie, juice and bowl bar spot was the perfect place to pop in after a day of fun in the sun. One of two locations in the Coachella Valley - Monster Shakes - Cathedral City is located in the Cat City hub off (East) Palm Canyon Drive on Pickfair St/Buddy Rogers Ave by the Mary Pickford Theater and Cathedral City Civic Center near many shops, eateries and scenic parts of CC. I spotted Monster Shakes and knew it was meant to be. Pulled up their menu on my phone with a QR scan on their front door... Figured out what to order and got the best customer treatment being the only customer in when I walked in (some others just finishing up previously and a pick up order or so while I was enjoying some yummy bliss). I went with the Vegan Date Milkshake, which was total awesomeness... Probably the best thing I had while up in the C.V. for several days. And also an Acai Bowl which was loaded with granola nuts, fresh fruit and all things energy bowl. My only issue was the acai itself being overly frozen so it took longer to get through and enjoy, but overall was pretty awesome. Inside is fun, bright and clean. Restroom was fairly up to par and gender neutral. Easy parking very close by for/in this mall plaza center of sorts - including some spots right in front! The guy who made everything was nothing but cool, chill, funny and friendly. Great personality (believe he might be an owner). Definitely stopping in again.

Yeah, working our way through the menu...so good! :) Best dark chocolate ice cream I've had in a while. Great location, nice staff!

Extremely clean establishment with plenty of seating and awesome customer service. Centrally located in downtown CatCity across from the theater and sitting in the middle of several restaurants with ample parking all around. This was our first time here. We stopped in after dinner to continue celebrating Nurses Week. This is the place if you like Dole Whips...flavors for days! This place is all about creating your creation. A simple strawberry shake is a master piece all Of its own, topped with a powdered donut...whaaa?! I settled for a simple, one scoop of salted caramel which was fantastic. We'll totally be back.

Coachella date shake was good. We stopped in just for this. Yes we are being cheesy tourists. Shake was refreshing and tasty. Never thought of adding dates to shakes.

$7.53 small cone. Date Casablanca. "Yes! We have so much…read moretime and so little to see. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it. Thank you." -- Willy Wonka That's how I feel about ice cream. There were a few samples. All were delightful. But this one felt special. It seemed denser than the others, resisting the spoon before finally landing on my tongue. As the cream yielded, it dissolved into a thick, satin wave, coating my palate. The velvety base melted, and the rich ribbon of Medjool date caramel bloomed across my taste buds, releasing a deep, sun-baked sweetness with dark molasses undertones that lingered long after the scoop was gone. I knew one scoop was enough, but I wished it wasn't. The scooper was one with their environment and sympatico with the customers. I could tell they enjoyed their gig, and it showed.

There are no seating inside with a limited number of bistro tables in front. But there are benches along the street so we used one of those. Everyone working there was so patient with every customer. We were offered samples before deciding what to order. All the flavors look so tasty. Their single scoop was huge! So even though it sounds expensive at first, the large servings made it reasonable. It's large enough to share.

SUPER low-key spot & I gotta be honest, this is some of the highest quality and uniquely flavored…read morehomemade 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!!!!

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.

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.

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!

We (a group of four 20s-30s easy going guys in town on a work trip) walked in to what looked like a fun sassy little shop and the woman working the front was IMMEDIATELY so rude, it actually caught me off guard. It was 25 minutes to closing but that's not an excuse. We were first time visitors and had questions, obviously, about the hilarious NSFW menu. Every response was so short and rude and not in a fun sarcastic way, which would've been fine. It felt like she was actually angry about serving us. After we paid, we were outside eating our ice cream and discussing how we had never experienced service that bad when she came out and closed the umbrella above the table we were sitting at. Then she closed the umbrella above the table of the family next to us without saying a word to them. I don't know if she had a problem with us personally or if she had somewhere to be or if she is just like that all the time but she is a terrible representative of what seems like a fun business idea. The ice cream was okay, not great and the scoops were small enough to see the bottom of the cup. The cookies were okay. The shake was good. But none of it matters if they don't get this service issue handled. Well just stick to Gelato-a-go-go...everyone there has always been sweet and awesome and seemed like they enjoyed their jobs.
