The cake was amazing, it had some sort of coconutty filling that made it really moist, kind of like a tres leches cake. The toffee chocolate was my second favorite. The chocolate frosting was perfect and not too sweet. They also had some gluten-free and keto options. Service was great, and it looked like they put the cupcakes together on the spot, which took a few minutes to prepare. I'll definitely be back for the yummy coconut cupcakes.

Somewhere between sunstroke and sugar cravings in the desert, we found ourselves at Tiffany's Sweet…read moreSpot... and honestly, bless the heat for guiding us there!!! We went in "just to look" (famous last words) and walked out with 3 cupcakes: vanilla bean, red velvet, and salted caramel toffee... plus a mocha tres leches parfait because self-control is seasonal and clearly out of stock!! Every single bite was the kind of good that makes you close your eyes mid-chew and ignore whoever's talking to you. But let's discuss the real star: the frosting!!! I was fully prepared for standard whipped cream or buttercream vibes, and instead got this cloud-like, silky situation that tasted rich but somehow light enough to justify eating an entire cupcake without emotional consequences. Tiffany herself let me in on the secret.... it's Italian meringue buttercream. So basically, classy buttercream that went to finishing school. Tiffany is also an absolute gem... warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what she's baking up. You can taste the love (and the butter, but mostly the love)!!! If you're in the desert and your sweet tooth starts whispering reckless ideas, listen to it. And definitely support this family-owned local spot. We'll be back for "research purposes" and to satisfy our sweet tooth!!

The space is bright and has good vibes throughout. It's hard to walk by the bakery counter first on your way to the deli line, everything looks so amazing! The deli line moves fast, they're quite efficient and friendly at the register. Most ordered sandwich is the Trump Card, but today I opted for the Mexican Marilyn Monroe on jalapeño focaccia (you have your choice between jalapeño focaccia or cranberry focaccia). The sandwich is unique with its freshly made chicken salad topped with bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and a chipotle aioli. Pure perfection though it can get a bit messy (get extra napkins). Served with fresh dill pickle slice. I shared my sandwich with my BFF who shared her Trump Card, pretty tasty too! And we had fried pickles (really goo The team are seem happy to be there, smiling over the counter as they make sandwiches.

We took them to go (absolutely no stomach real-estate after the sandwiches). All were good but rich peanut butter brownie mousse stood out as our favorite!!! I do wish the bakery sold the jalapeño focaccia, I would have loved to have taken some home! I'll be back, often.

After a family…read moresushi dinner this past Sunday night (April 19th), we decided to see if the local hype around Better Ice Cream was justified. Spoiler alert: it definitely is. First Impressions & Atmosphere The moment we walked in, the first thing I noticed wasn't just the display cases--it was how clean the place was. You could literally smell the freshly mopped floors, and every table was shining. It's rare to see a high-traffic dessert spot look that sharp on a busy weekend night. Service Under Pressure There was only one young lady behind the counter, and despite the place being packed, she was a total pro. She was incredibly attentive and managed to get everyone's order--including our group's--completed flawlessly without breaking a sweat. That kind of service is hard to find, especially when a shop is that busy. The Main Event: The Flavors The ice cream itself was amazing, but the real showstopper for me was the Orange Julius. It isn't pictured, but it was the highlight of the night. One sip took me straight back to my childhood--it was perfectly creamy, frothy, and hit all the right nostalgic notes. The Verdict Whether you're finishing off a meal or just looking for a weekend treat with the family, this place delivers. Great vibes, spotless environment, and top-tier treats. Pro Tip: If you're looking for a trip down memory lane, get the Orange Julius. You will not be disappointed!

Also, there needs to be value. I could go to Frostee Freeze or McDonalds and get a shake for much less money. 2) Why no prices on the menu. This would help people decide and know the value of what they are getting. Also, it would be nice to have descriptions of all the items on the menu- raspados, locitos, etc.

I believed the hype and my expectation fell flat below disappointed…read more Upon entering, the theme is a cool eclectic, retro style, but was all over the place. Almost like a collector of things needed a place to display memoriablia. The place is called Coco Freeze Ice Cream Shop but they only have 8-10 flavors to choose from- maybe less... but definitely not more. We ordered a hot dog, corn, and ice cream. The counter person was nice and explained the difference between items like a volcano corn vs extreme corn. She also provided some suggestions. When the food/ice cream finally arrived, it was just okay. My ice cream portion on the super churros was small. It's one churro cut into 3 with melon baller sized ice cream scoops. The churro was a ready made like churro that was probably micro heated. The extreme hot cheetos corn was gross. The cheetos were stale, the corn was canned and tasted old and so did the cheese. No amount of lemon and tajin could fix it. The ice cream was good, but probably because it was Thriftys. The save was the hotdog. It's a polish dog, that was partially heated through, but decent enough to eat. Oh! Before I forget... a small little boy ran behind the counter and was playing back and forth from behind the counter. Word to the wise, that's an OSHA issue waiting to happen. People seem to like this place. I'm guessing mine was just an isolated bad experience. However, it was enough for me to decide it wont be a place for me to come back to. Just an fyi - there are no prices on the menu.$27 for 2 ice cream items, a hot dog and corn.

The drink came out mostly purple with only a little matcha on top and even after mixing it, it basically tasted like a taro milk tea. The aloe vera jelly didn't really match the drink either so I would skip that add on. Pretty disappointing given the high reviews on Yelp.

Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.
