One lady in particular was extremely knowledgeable about the products and the area, and was extremely nice. It is a tourist trap and priced like it, but overall a clean one with some fun stuff. I mean, python jerky?!? We tried the date shake. It was quite tasty. We purchased dates and ended up choosing camel jerky for the kids. There was a brief moment of, "would anyone eat the tarantula if we bought it?" - NAH. We left it for future customers, along with snackable crickets and bugs. It was a fun stop in the desert and cool to see the date palms full of fruit.

After winding up our day, we decided to go for some ice cream. This small place has very welcoming decor for the entire family. They have a good selection of ice cream but also offer specialties like sundae's and shakes. The staff was very welcoming and helpful in choosing our flavors. We all went with different flavors. My favorites were their Biscoff but especially the Oreo one (the best I've ever had). I highly recommend this place as it is reasonably priced as well. Even if you're not a big fan of ice cream, this place will definitely change your mind!

I really like the potato wedges. As to their burgers they are very tasty. Their regular burgers are great, but I think their mushroom swiss burger. It is great. All of the burgers are good and you will be satisfied. You will also enjoy their onion rings. This is really not a cafe, it is more like a counter in a market. But it is great.

There was about 12 people working. There are 4 tables to sit at but if there's a line it's not really accessible as area is crowded. They have some Halloween flavors for the month of Oct. it took us 20 mins to get thru the line as they are still training. I ordered the founders favorite! Needed to be mix more but was flavorful and still hit the sweet spot. The brownie was really fresh and the sweet cream ice cream was just enough sweetness. I'll be back to try it again once they had sometime to work out the kinks.

The line was about 6 people deep but it took 15 minutes before we were up to order. Another 15-20 minutes before my ice cream and mix in was ready. It took another 15 minutes for the shake we ordered. I am not exaggerating, the girl made the batch and it didn't fill the cup, and was very liquid, she had to back and make more ! There was zero enthusiasm or training even with 5 girls working. What few tables there were are crowded in by the long line standing close by, which had grown to 20+. I wouldn't want to sit down and eat my ice cream with someone's butt just inches away. To top it off, my ice cream barely crested the cup. We won't be going back.

I am always too late to get their soups at 12-3AM unfortunately (I keep thinking about that pot pie soup to this day!). Their snack and candy aisle is always prepared with some tasty treats. Staff always seem buff and pleasant. Never tried their public restrooms so I can't share how they are here for being such a high traffic stop. At 2am- no teslas at the charging stations so it's a big contrast to during the day when the charging stations are usually a line a few cars back.

Yes I know date land is known for their date shakes. But just a little way further east is this gem. Their date shake is so much better. Better taste. Better size. Better price. Do yourself a favor and skip Dateland if all you're stopping there for is the date shake. Travel another less than 20 minutes and come here. You won't be disappointed. Even better. The bathrooms are among the cleanest I've ever seen. Always clean and supplied whether inside or out. They sell Chevron gas and prices aren't horrible.

Conde's Middle of Nowhere: The Hidden Gem I Almost Missed…read more For ten years, I've been driving to Arizona twice a month--twice! And not once did I stop at Conde's Middle of Nowhere. Why? Because it felt so remote it gave me the heebie-jeebies, like the kind of place where you half expect tumbleweeds and eerie silence. But this time, nature called, and I couldn't wait until Dateland. I reluctantly pulled over, and let me tell you--I've been sleeping on this spot for a decade! Conde's isn't just a store or a gas station--it's like stepping into a slice of old-town Americana that's been sprinkled with modern charm. Think quaint country vibes but updated with all the conveniences you didn't know you needed. They've got gas, soda machines, ice cream treats, shaded seating areas (thank you, Arizona heat!), and even a clean restroom--which, let's be real, is a rarity on these long desert drives. But the real star of the show? Conde's Café. I'm talking about date shakes with cinnamon, people! They've taken a classic and elevated it to a whole new level of delicious. And get this--when you order a shake, you get a FREE 24 oz reusable cup. Yes, you heard that right. A sustainable, guilt-free excuse to indulge. The shake itself? Smooth, creamy, and downright life-changing. Don't worry coffee lovers, the concoctions are downright flavorful enticing. From now on, forget Dateland. Conde's is where it's at. This place is warm, inviting, and gloriously uncrowded--no lines, no chaos, just good vibes and great service. Travelers, take note: this isn't just a pit stop, it's a must-stop. Do yourself and family a favor--pull over, grab a shake, ice cream, iced coffee or even a pop and take a breather. You'll thank me later. And please add more reviews. Gratuities are Good karma. Note: no electric charge stations like Dateland- that's the only missing link.

After having some dinner down the street, I came across Churn and knew I needed to come and check this place out. This small ice cream shop had a pretty big line on a Monday night when I arrived but it moved quickly and the ice cream looked dang good in the glass display. I decided on getting a two scoop waffle cone with Cookies & Mint and Milk & Cookies. The ice cream tasted super rich and super creamy, both flavours were very good. Overall, Churn is a top notch ice cream parlour and a place I would probably frequent if I lived in Phoenix. The ice cream here is great, the staff was friendly, and I really wish they had some non small and medium t-shirts because I would of left with one. Great spot.

Like literally you can walk between the businesses in the same building. I tried them for the first time during a Windsor/Churn Yelp Elite Event but have since visited Churn alone on my own afterward! I really liked the seasonal flavor milk and cookies because the chocolate chip cookie included in the ice cream is one of their cookies they serve separately anyway, so you know it's good. It had a sweet cream base. My sister and I shared a triple scoop for only $7 and satisfied the both of us. The interior is pretty small, but there's at least patio seating in the back and a bench out front. I'm excited to try other seasonal and permanent flavors in subsequent visits, but for now I love the milk and cookies too much to try anything else and would definitely return for just that!
