It is right on the main drag on Palm Canyon in the heart of old Palm Springs. The air inside was cool and the staff was even cooler.

The server was totally great and friendly. The small scoops were very generous. The ice cream is small batch and unbelievably wonderful! The cookies looked delicious, they had penis shaped cookies and vagina shaped cookies! We laughed so hard but we didn't buy either! They let us stand inside in the air conditioned cool to eat our treats. We returned the next night for another round of scoops! If the weather had been cool I would have had a snickerdoodle!

They completely forgot the mayonnaise and butter I got home and both of my sons refused to eat it. It was very dry and not worth the $16... like I said I come here weekly and I love when they get it right, but I don't believe it should depend on who is working last time. I went one worker forgot the cheese another time the hot Chettoo crust. It's just very inconsistent but when they get it right, it's amazing.

I visited on a Thursday when they had a bunch of vendors out side on the street. Their service was great. They were pretty busy with visitors walking by. My friend and I got date smoothies. She also got a scoop of another ice cream as well. The smoothie was so thick and creamy. It was the perfect dessert after a meal. Unfortunately, my friend did not love the smoothie, but I was able to take hers and save it in the freezer for another day. I'm definitely thinking about the next time I can stop by!

It's alway a must for ice cream regardless what time of year it is. Another place that I've seen so…read moremany times walking past. Plus it's right across the street from the theatres and a couple of restaurants and bars. It's located right in the heart of downtown Cathedral City. Plenty of parking with the street, parking lot, and the structure thats round the corner. When we walked in, I was surprised at how big the place was. A couple tables for outside seating and a good amount inside. The gentleman working was the sweetest. Very friendly and nice. He explained what was there as it was our first time here. They have all the selection of flavored dole soft serve. There's a wall with all the selections. Same concept with the frozen yogurt where you grab a cup, serve yourself and add your topping and then it gets weight. Except it's the dole flavors. Then there's the ice cream counter with whatever flavors you crave. Loads to choose from that it can be overwhelming, but in a good way....lol. Besides a scoop of ice cream, they also offer the fancy creation. Shakes, sundae, bananas splits, ice cream sandwiches and so much more options. I kept it simple this time with two scoops of salted caramel and cookies and cream. Classic yet so good. We now know what this place is all about and it's definitely a favorite so far. The gentleman working was a major doll and the sweetest. Will for sure be back for more ice cream and dessert. Plus, they have an amazing selection with music.

Terrible experience relayed to me by my husband Joe. This…read moreevening, my husband ,Joe went to Monster Shakes by the Mary Pickford theater to meet a friend for a sweet treat. He arrived a few minutes early and went inside to wait. The man behind the counter asked what he wanted to order, and Joe politely explained that he would wait to order until his friend arrived in about five minutes. The employee told Joe that he could not wait inside unless he was ordering ice cream immediately. Joe again explained that his friend was almost there, but the man nastily told him to wait outside instead. My husband, not wanting any confrontation, went outside and stood in 104° weather waiting for his friends. When they arrived, they all went inside and still spent about $25 on ice cream. What upsets me most is that there was no apology, no explanation, and the store was completely empty at the time. Nobody should be treated this way, especially over simply waiting a few minutes for a friend inside an ice cream shop. I will absolutely be contacting the manager or owner to understand why this happened. I can also guarantee that I will never recommend or return to Monster Shakes after hearing about this disgraceful treatment of my dear husband.

UPDATE (9/15/26)…read more First off, I came here 2 years ago when they first opened. I got their soft serve in the Taiyaki with the Red Bean filling and other toppings and it was wonderful. It was a really good first impression. Also Black Sesame is one of my absolute favorite flavors I always order for any dessert. Now fast forward to now, I'm back here for a visit. When we got inside it wasn't busy at all. Service was friendly and helpful. When I walked inside to see their Taiyaki soft serve options, I was pretty disappointed. They only had three flavors available. And I have to be honest, the flavors didn't interest me. It was just Vanilla, Green Tea, and I think Chocolate? Maybe a Mango flavor too which seemed seasonal. I'm sure they were good but the ice cream section had flavors I wish were soft serve like Black Sesame and a milk tea one. We ended up getting their ice cream instead because they had a larger assortment of flavors. And when I tried the sample, the flavor was decent. Two years ago, my 5/5 stars was for my Taiyaki experience. Now it's 3/5 stars for the ice cream. I got the Black Sesame and Coffee ice cream scoops with the waffle cone. Flavor was there, the waffle cone was good, but the ice cream didn't blow me away by any means. I wish this place had more variety for their soft serve because it's worth the money for me. Most of my disappointment came from that I'd probably never have the Black Sesame soft serve Taiyaki again from here because I only had it that one time, and also there weren't any appealing flavors for the soft serve I would've been excited to try instead. I would not come back here for their regular ice cream, I'd just spend my money somewhere else.
