    a hand holding a bowl of ice cream
    Lisa S.

    As a chain, you know what to expect and it was a good experience. Staff was attentive. Place was clean. We got the ice cream for take out. I got the coffee lovers flavor and it was delicious. I loved the pecans in the ice cream. The single cup was a generous portion and I saved half for later.

    Plastic pieces found inside bread of cake, I thought it was the nuts in the rocky road.

    Found plastic pieces in one of the pieces that was served, we threw away the whole cake to prevent the kids from eating it, thankfully we got the pieces in the first bites but imagine if a toddler would have ate it?

    Order ahead!

    If you're looking for cheap, average ice cream, feel free to buy ice cream from your local super market, but if you want expensive, average ice cream that you can customize into a potentially amazing ice cream, Cold Stones is the spot for you! And if your creation tastes terrible, you only have yourself to blame. My girlfriend and I got the mint ice cream with chocolate chips and it was solid, especially since it was so hot that day. We took our ice cream to-go since there wasn't much space inside and packed with customers, but you can also call their phone number to skip the line.

    I hadn't eaten ice cream for a long time and remembered that my son brought me to the La Quinta location a few months ago. It was hot outside and I was craving ice cream, not just any ice cream but Cold Stone's. I decided to get the German Chocolate Cake in a waffle cone. So I ordered a large one. Big mistake! It took about an hour to eat it and it was almost the size of my head! The ice cream was so good. I remember seeing an ad about that flavor and I had to try it. No regrets except that the next time I will get the smaller one. It was so worth the price. The shop is nestled into a small cute shopping strip area. I love the looks of the outdoor area and the building. I do want to say that the inside is roomy but awkward in form. A few more tables would be great. I liked that they offer restrooms for customers. The music playing was nerve-racking! I want to suggest playing a variety of music like Walmart does so that all types of people feel welcome not just the younger generation. In La Quinta, there are many retired folks and Snow Birds and the music should lean toward that population in the area. I realize that all the nearby festivals reel in the younger population throughout the year, but those of us who live here full-time should feel welcome in our stores. Service was good and the ice cream server was very knowledgeable. I would suggest that the management train the staff to be more personable. The woman that waited on me acted like I was a burden, she did not smile, and I felt rushed. I had never ordered anything there before so I was confused about sizes, prices, and flavors. She acted as though I should know about their products. I also caught her glaring at me s though she did not like me or something. I always smile and she took the smile right off my face with her unprofessional attitude. Rude workers will chase the customers away. This is why I gave this location 3 stars.

    The perfect end to the night!…read more It was a perfectly hot night in Palm Desert, and this place was heaven sent. The variety of ice creams (both dairy and non-dairy for those who are lactose intolerant like me) and the ability to sample them without pressure was great. The server took care of us, and the outdoor seating was the perfect place to enjoy our cones on a hot summer night. The massive crowds of people there also enjoyed their night as well, as the place was poppin'. The portion size of the scoops, their patience, and the quality of the cones, all together made for a quality night.

    This place definitely made me miss Hawaii! Even the workers were soooo sweet and gave the aloha…read morespirit. The place is decorated even with some Hawaii aloha spirit. We had a bunch of flavors lol we loved them all, we go the ube macapuno so good, banana cream pie Amazing!, date ice cream? Sooo good too, and then we had the sea salt vanilla something. lol I forgot, all were super good but make sure u take a lactaid if ur lactose like me hahaha My kids loved there's too they got the Cookie Monster and the cake batter ice cream! Workers were super sweet and even gave the kids stickers. Unfortunately not a lot of room inside to sit, maybe max 16 people, 4 tables with 4 people to sit at each table. Some outside chairs in the shade.

    fabulous ice cream and gotta go to laquinta for the drive…read morethrough! coffee chip and monkey business are my go-to favorites. great and friendly service too.

    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.
