    Ice cream flavors
    Juliana C.

    Monster Shakes is exactly what the name states! OMG! You are definitely in for sweet treat coming here. Pictures don't do this place justice. You get exactly what you're looking for! I was looking for a delicious dessert and couldn't pass up and see what Monster shakes is about. I yelped through the pictures and several monster shakes caught my eye. But there is so much more available when you visit. It's so much worse! Everyone can leave with something sweet they're craving whether it be something simple from a scoop of ice cream to something extreme like a monster shake! There are so many options, you are sad leaving with only one! You can get ice cream, a sundae, Dole soft serve or have your dessert made! I couldn't decide which monster shake I wanted... Oreo cookie coma, Espresso your self, or Nothing to snicker about. I was so torn, the owner was super helpful! She answered all my questions and more! She said she can make a monster shake with all the fixings I wanted! Yay!!! I ended up getting a modified Espresso your self. My monster shake had espresso ice cream, chocolate twirl sticks topped with a mountain full marshmallows and snicker bites! OMG! It was beautifully made and a work of art! It was delicious! If you are in the area you must give Monster Shakes a try! Enjoy!!! :) Simply the best! Series: 3 2025: 52

    Monster shakes is the answer on a hot day

    A Sweet Surprise: Dole Soft Serve in Every Flavor I was pleasantly surprised by this place. They had Dole soft serve -- the kind I usually only find in Hawaii at the Dole Plantation. Here, though, they had it in just about every flavor you can imagine: strawberry, orange, pomegranate, lemon, and more. I tried several flavors but ultimately put most of mine in the pineapple (check out my before picture below no after picture because it was so hot, I ate it too fast!). Service was excellent, too. Tommy (or Tom) helped me out and was super friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Definitely a fun and refreshing stop.

    Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Desserts: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: 3/5 The prices were so good for what you get! My only problem was (not) being able to finish my sweet treat! The service was fantastic. The flavors were typical dessert go to's but amplified. If I'm back in Palm Springs again, I'll swing back by!

    Mangonada
    Corinne C.

    Came by with the fam during spring break. LOVE the self serve dole whip! Don't be like me and turn your attention away when your 10 year old is serving himself - turned back and he got himself 19 oz with a smug look on his face. Having ALL the dole whip flavors is amazing though, incl the less common flavors like lemon, watermelon, strawberry. Per other comments, some of the toppings were stale. Mochi bits were rock hard. I got the mangonada which was delicious with the dole whip. Their version is basically mango dole whip with chamoy and tajin. I realized I could've made it myself at the self serve bar (since chamoy and tajin are avail toppings) though I'd be missing the tamarind straw, but that would let me customize the size a bit more. Kids enjoyed the ice cream too and my husband liked his milkshake, though I had to remind the staff he was missing the mini donut on top. Staff was helpful but not super warm/nice. I think the poor woman wasn't having a great day as she definitely seemed like she was over all the tourists, ha. Still, the ice cream and dole whip was delicious and we will still be back next time we are in Palm Springs.

    Staff: The man who took our order was nice but the lady named Kimmie was nicer. Quality/Quantity: The milkshakes were good here with some pretty cool options. We opted for the Oreo cookie coma and a basic vanilla with brownie and chocolate syrup. Both tasted good and were offered in different sizes. Value: The pricing was fair to me. Overall: We originally were planning to go to Great Shakes but they were closed due to maintenance. So we found this spot by chance. Though I would choose Great Shakes over this spot, it was a very good option, and close 2nd for shakes in the area in my humble opinion.

    Date Shake
    Gikky A.

    Super friendly and welcoming place. Great place to grab some treats and hang out. Tried the date shake, shaved ice, and ice cream. Everything was fantastic. Again extremely friendly and kind staff.

    Interesting place tucked away in a non-descript shopping strip center. You pour your own Dole self-serve.

    Every time my husband and I stayed in Palm Springs, we get a Monster Shake. These shakes are huge! They are amazing.

    Salted Carmel Shake
    Matthew R.

    Delicious and amazing shakes. Came here for all the Dole flavors and got some amazing shakes as well. They are larger and harder to eat than you think. The pictures do them justice. Flavors are amazing. Friendly staff and clean store for eating there.

    The customer service here is amazing. My son and I came here on a recent vacation based on the positive reviews. When we first entered and I tried to read their rotating menu, a staff member offered me a copy of a menu to make it easier for me to read. I was taking a photo of the screens so I could read them. The manager was also there and she answered all my questions about their Acai Bowl. She offered to eliminate the granola since it wasn't gluten free. I don't like to be an annoying customer with lots of questions but my son has Type 1 Diabetes so I needed to know exactly what was going to be in the Acai Bowl and how much. The manager was so accommodating! She had a worker there who was being trained and I think the answers I got helped her staff member too. The Acai Bowl was fresh and delicious. The place is really clean including their restroom.

    Date shake smoothie soft serve

    The soft serve they have is delicious! Not to mention the date smoothie as well. Definitely recommend getting your sweat treats here.

    Monster shakes!

    Everything was great! Met the new owners, Kimmy and her partner, of this establishment and they couldn't be nicer! We purchased the Monster Mash and it was well worth the price! With a large family this was the perfect ice cream sundae. We were able to get a variety of flavors of ice cream and toppings that pleased all my gang! Will definitely be coming back next time I am in town!

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.

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.
