This hit the spot and was not glazed on top nor was the custard sweet which I prefer. Good choice if you want something fresh and not heavy and rich. The cafe is cute, but not really all that pink? Was the coffee (which I did not order) pink? Very clean seating area. The gals up front were nice. It wasn't busy so the service was quick. Great spot if you're looking to enjoy some coffee and pastries.

I drive frequently to Phoenix to see family from California and this time on my return I said I'm definitely stopping. If you are exiting the 10 freeway at Morongo Valley Road which I think is the exit going west, that traffic circle to get to all the restaurants, etc. including Hadley's is a little treacherous so be patient Once you turn right, you can just pull right into their parking lot. It's a beautiful store that also has a café/ice cream. You will go in to get your shake and enter the ice cream shake line. It's stanchion off. There's a separate café line for people that I want to order food I ordered a large date shake. It doesn't come with whipped cream and it's already premade fresh out of a machine. The male order to take her/manager was super friendly and very thankful I stopped by after I mentioned I hadn't been here in a while. It's very genuine. But as I was walking away from the counter with my seven dollar shake, which was well worth it I heard somebody order a chocolate date shake. I didn't even know that was an option. I'm not even sure I saw it on the menu, but I think I would try that next time. The date shake was creamy and sweet. You can definitely taste and see the dates inside the mix. And then went into the store and picked up some chocolate covered dates as well as some fresh organic lines. I actually found the price is overall very reasonable especially for an off-road/touristy type of a place. Plenty of parking out front. The cashiers are super friendly. The location was very clean. I honestly would stop on the way back. They had tons of gifts, fresh fruits, and vegetables, snacks water sandwiches probably everything that you would want on a roadside visit. And it's easy access back onto the 10 W.

THE BEST DATE SHAKES! If you're passing up Hadley's you're making the biggest mistake of your life…read more I should be coming more often, but life gets the best of me sometimes. Hadley's is esteemed in the Inland Empire for its regular and vegan date shakes. I bought a couple of vegan shakes for my Mom and I during this trip. I swear the quality of the vegan shakes are just as good or better than the traditional shakes. I'm never disappointed! Once we got our shakes we took a trip around the grocery store side of the property. The store is farmer-chic with a modern look. Popcorn is available for sale on the way out, perfect for a rainy day. There's all sorts of groceries here, meats, specialty bakery items, wine, etc. if you're looking for souvenirs, they have them too! Service is always solid, the staff are professional and quick. I've never had an issue here. Hadley's gets a massive recommendation from me!

Happy to report that these days they're always open! The bread is incredible, the pastries delicious, and the sandwiches are high quality too. The crew is constantly churning out replacements for everything, which sells out quickly. Super friendly workers and a great owner. Definitely give it a try!

I sadly can't go here much anymore because it turns out I'm allergic to the glyphosate in wheat…read more (Someone told me that I could probably eat sourdough even though I couldn't eat regular wheat, so I ate a whole flatbread from Luna and broke out in hives. ) My only wish for Luna is that they would make 1 truly great breakfast pastry that is gluten free so I could come here all the time. Their current GF options are either not tasty or not great breakfast items (almond cookie, coconut macaroon and a very hard to eat bread loaf). I know from personal experience with Pamela's GF baking mix just how easy it is to make a delicious chocolate GF banana bread that is just as good as the wheat version. Luna could probably even make one where their wheat eaters wouldn't even notice the difference. Anywho, that is my gf fantasy. In conclusion, if your body can tolerate sourdough, get to Luna! It's divine! If not, you can always get a delicious gluten-free doughnut next door at Matson Ambroise.

Palm Springs Redux trip - we came back after coming here during one of the wettest and coldest…read moreweeks last November. This time we enjoyed the true Palm Springs, heat, sun, sassiness, and all! Back in November we ended up going to Sherman's 2 times, and we did it again last week. It was so nice, we went twice! The food is as good as it gets for NY Deli cuisine this far west. I opted for the 3 meat sandwich, I almost had to unhinge my jaw in order to take a proper bite. The sandwich was piled high with pastrami, corned beef and BBQ brisket. The rye bread was soft and delicious and absorbed the mustard and meat juices quite well. The matzoh ball soup was nostalgic, healing, and delicious all at the same time. We'll be back Sherman's -- believe it!

I visited Sherman's twice during my trip to Palm Springs. The complimentary pickles were super…read moredelicious! The first time I ordered: - Summer Delight Salad: Not a fan. It was a weird mixture of chicken, tuna, cottage cheese, fruits, lettuce. The flavoring was odd and not complimentary to each other. - #6 Hot Pastrami with Chopped Liver Sandwich: If you have never tried chopped liver before, I don't think this should be your first time experimenting. There are many other good options to pick from! If you end up disliking the chopped liver, I'd hate for that to ruin your experience at Sherman's. The second time I ordered: - NY Style Hot Pastrami Sandwich: This was the best thing I tried on the menu. The pastrami was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend this sandwich! - Lite Lunch Special: Not all sandwiches are available for the half portion, so I would suggest clarifying with your waiter. I ordered 1/2 Brisket of Beef (BBQ sauce on the side) and 1/2 Garden Salad. Both were just fine. Unfortunately I was way too full to try any of the dessert. They were beautifully displayed though!

He said it was good but he felt it was missing icing. The crumb cake was also super good. The customer service was great! Though my matcha took a really long time to prepare, the owner (I'm assuming) was very friendly and peppy. We need that kinda energy at 8am, so I really appreciate it. The place is small but they have small tables outside for people to sit and enjoy their delicious pastries. My only complaint is that the pastries are a tad expensive. I would definitely come back for the pastries, not the drinks tho.

I went in the day before Christmas to pick up some gluten free muffins for my girlfriend, but they were out. I picked up some other gf desserts but the muffins are what she likes the most. I asked if they were going to be open the day after Christmas and I would come back. Turns out the owner is planning to take a very well deserved week off, so no luck. But then she aske me for my number and told me that while she makes no promises, she will call me if she happens to make some. Within two hours I got a phone call. Six GF muffins with my name on it! I ran out and we were able to enjoy them while they were still warm. Sooooo good. Not only are the baked goods fantastic, but service like that? Deserves as many stars as are in the sky. Will have to settle for five here, though. ps. The lemon cheesecake (not gf) is phenominal.

My husband and I got a couple of pastries to try as well on the drive South. The people in the bakery were so kind and helpful. The atmosphere was wonderful. I must say that I don't think I've had a better bear claw pastry and my husband had the sticky bun pastry and both were heavenly. When celebrating the birthdays, everyone thought the cakes were terrific and I must say that the white cake was heavenly as well. We always try to shop local and so glad that we found this place open on our trip. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Cookie? perfect. Cupcake? perfect. Brownies? perfect. Giant custom bear-head cake? drooooool. perfect. Cheesecake. gasp! & you guessed it: perfect. Lucy and her team over-deliver on everything: service, adorable and safe small town vibes, and delicious, only-on-the-mountain kind of treats.
