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.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly frustrating--not because of the…read moreemployees, but because of management. On a peak summer weekend evening, during one of the busiest tourist seasons of the year, this location had only two employees working. One person was responsible for scooping ice cream for a line of well over 30 customers (including many children), while the other was simultaneously trying to begin closing duties and keep the store clean. The wait for a single scoop of ice cream was nearly an hour. This isn't an employee problem. It's a management and staffing problem. Watching these young employees--who appeared to be high school or college-aged--do everything they could to remain kind, professional, and efficient while being set up to fail was genuinely upsetting. No employee should be expected to serve an entire packed store while also maintaining cleanliness and preparing for closing. At minimum, a rush like this should have had multiple employees dedicated to serving customers, with another person focused on cleaning and operational tasks. As a customer, I was less bothered by the wait than I was by watching two people shoulder an impossible workload. It also raised concerns about whether employees are realistically able to take their required breaks when staffing is this inadequate. Kayla and Ishmael deserve recognition, a substantial raise, and sincere appreciation for maintaining professionalism under circumstances that would overwhelm almost anyone. They represented your business far better than your management did. Management needs to do better. This level of understaffing is unacceptable, especially during predictable peak business hours. It's 2026--businesses know when their busiest seasons are. Proper staffing isn't a luxury; it's a basic responsibility to both employees and customers. To Kayla and Ishmael: if you're reading this, thank you for your hard work. You deserve to work for an employer that values your time, your well-being, and your effort.

As a longtime Handel's customer, this was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had…read more On the Fourth of July, my daughter and I arrived around 9:52 PM. There were approximately 15 people already ahead of us in line, so we waited our turn like everyone else. Around 9:58 PM, two employees came outside and announced that the two parties directly ahead of my daughter and me would be the last customers they would serve, and that everyone behind them needed to leave because they were "already closed." I understand it was close to 10:00 PM, and I completely respect that employees want to close on time after a busy holiday. However, the store was not technically closed yet, and there were no employees outside beforehand directing the line or letting customers know where the cutoff would be. Had someone been managing the line earlier, customers could have made an informed decision instead of standing there waiting. What upset me the most was what happened next. After my daughter, I, and several others walked away as instructed, the party directly behind us was allowed to remain in line and continue waiting. That was not the right move to make. If there was going to be a cutoff, it should have been applied fairly and consistently to everyone. Allowing people behind us to stay after telling us to leave made the situation feel unfair and left a very poor impression. This wasn't about missing out on ice cream it was about the lack of organization, communication, and fairness. As someone who has supported Handel's for years, I expected much better customer service. On a busy holiday like the Fourth of July, it's understandable that things get hectic, but that's exactly when clear communication and proper line management matter the most. If management has any questions about this review, I encourage you to review your security camera footage between 9:52 PM and 9:58 PM on the Fourth of July. It should verify exactly what occurred and how the line was handled. I sincerely hope this was an isolated incident, but I also hope management takes this as an opportunity to improve how closing procedures are communicated and enforced so future customers aren't put in the same situation.

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 cashier was nice, and the price I paid for my frozen yogurt was reasonable. (Although I always laugh a little when a self-serve frozen yogurt place has a tip jar.) The only critique I have is that I wasn't sure where to get sample cups to try the different flavors , lots of places usually leave them out for customers to just grab. Overall, it's a nice shop and I recommend it.
