Stephanie N.

I LOVE savory crepes! I prefer them over sweet. So when I see a restaurant that offers savory, I get excited. Service was good & food came out fast. Cute little shop & I love the Biggie's quote on the wall! We got super lucky & snagged a parking up front, but I can see on a normal day what a pain parking would be since it's very limited. My hubby thought the crepes were on the pricy side, but honestly it was a good size & surprisingly filling. I struggled to finish mine. The texture was nice & crunchy, but I think I prefer it without the crispy cheese because it was boarder line salty. I tried the pesto & the Caesar. My daughter & I preferred the Caesar since it was the least salty. My husband is excited to try the cheeseburger & the Philly steak next time we're in town.

Big Shout Out to the creative minds behind this very unique sandwich restaurant! Everything is served on a crepe that features a crunchy cheese outside and the fillings on the inside...have faith in what they do, you will love it if you love good food! The banana Nutella crepe is also worth a try and combines sweet & savory in every bite. Even the salads were a huge hit. I usually don't comment on interiors but they did a great job with comfy chairs and tables and it was extremely clean inside. 500 stars if yelp allowed...will be adding this to our rotation for sure!

Oh..my...lord...this place is SOOO GOOD! We just tried the new pizza rolls, and my mouth is still watering. Every bite was flavorful and ridiculously delicious. We still got our barbecue chicken crepe, but we are so glad we tried the pizza rolls too Love this place and will forever over eat it when we are in town.

My friend told me about Gabino's and during our last visit to Indio, was able to stop in. I believe it's in downtown Indio on a cute street and complete with a nice big outdoor seating area and lovely wall art. Inside has a minimalist aesthetic with an open kitchen (I mean, who doesn't like seeing crepes being made!?). Maybe they could tell this was our first time here, but they asked and gave us a warm greeting. They also told us to squeeze the crepe a little and eat them like a sandwich. I'd say I'm more used to sweet crepes than savory ones so this was something different for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it! We ordered the BBQ and Caesar crepes and really felt like the crispy cheese lining the crepe added so much to the texture and flavor. I'd be interested in trying other ones when I'm in town the next time.

We have been excited to try Gabino's for a while now. I heard great things. On Tuesday we were out at Temalpakh Farm and were hungry for lunch. Gabino's is right at the end of Miles and since it was a Tuesday lunch time, we had a great spot outside to enjoy their very creative meals. My husband enjoyed the Barbecue crepe which is wrapped for easy eating. I loved the Pesto crepe- such a super portion for the price in 2026 I must say. My son was happy with the Chicken Ranch. He is a true Ranch person. We got to sit outside in the beautiful sunny patio. All I can say is Wow!! I want to go back now!! Give this sweet team some love, people. You will be glad you did.

Clarissa T.

Really great service, nice interior. Food is solid, I got the buffalo chicken crepe. It was good, nothing over the top, a little too much sauce. But I would come back and try something else! It's in a great location with some really comfortable outdoor seating!

Craig P.

Delicious wrap and they were also able to make a gluten free wrap. They cleaned the crepe pan and changed gloves. We would highly recommend this place! VERY tasty. We had the Chicken BBQ, and a Gluten Free Chicken Ranch. The staff was VERY nice and attentive! The restaurant has a very cool vibe to it!

Veggie crepes, one with and one without onions

Julie S.

Wow, what a great find! That drive back to Arizona from California is rough. Most of the food options are the same old chains. This place is a much better option. Delicious crepes made to order. Friendly staff. We got 2 veggie crepes that were so filling and yummy. They have a picture of Guy Fieri visiting, and you can see why. Added bonus was cute downtown Indio. Do yourself a favor and try it!

Gretchen K.

The owner was willing to clean and use new tools etc to make sure my gluten allergy wouldn't be triggered. I enjoyed the Nutella banana crepe and a lemonade which was super refreshing and cold! The crepe was delicious and melted in my mouth!

Robert D.

I as driving down the street wanting to stop somewhere where they were serving breakfast late. I ended up sporting Gambino's Creperie. When I walked in, it wasn't what I expected. They had sandwiches and burgers. I decided to try the chicken pesto crepe. Wow, I'm really glad I did!! It was super good! The gentleman hat helped me was super friendly for sure. The place was very clean. The decor could use a little improvement but I will eat here again. There was a patio outside with picnic tables. It was a nice hangout on a cool day!! Give it a try folks. I don't think you will be disappointed!!

The original Gabino's location in Palm Springs is great so this cute, new location is nice to have on this side of the Valley. The crepes are large and could be shareable depending on your hunger level. Might be a little messy though! If there's a line at the cashier, be prepared to wait as it's all cooked to order. It's cool to watch them make it. The bathroom situation is also a little...interesting. You have to walk outside to the back of the building through a dark room (maybe the light was out), into a single person bathroom that was not very clean. I might hold it and use the restrooms across the way at the Taphouse! Bathrooms aside, the service is friendly and the food is yummy. That's probably most important.

Howard T.

Run, don't walk to Gabinos!! They have two locations in the Coachella Valley. A full indoor restaurantbin Indio and the original "window" in a side alley in Palm Springs. These unique handhelds that are also called Crepewhiches simply can't be found anywhere else. Simply put, they are so freakin' delicious that you will crave the often! The Chicken Pesto "crepewhich" is my #1 fave but I also love the Barbecue Chicken, the chopped cheeseburger and the Buffalo Chicken. Also, make sure that you order the pizza roll and split it among your small group as a shared appetizer. The pizza roll is an absolute winner!! There is a reason why Gabinos has been featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Just love, love, love this place!!!

Food was amazingly good! Owner was present I came with my co workers and they seated us immediately I had the cheeseburger with the cheese fries It was so delicious Thank you for your hospitality we came from Orange County I would definitely recommend this place!

The 1st time we ate there it was delicious. We went there again today and it was horrible, the crepe was so toasted or over fried it cut the roof of your mouth, and both of our crepes were so full of oil you could hardly eat them, and they were horrible. Not sure if we will go back. Might have been just an off day or the cook did not know what they were doing. read more

I think this is such a clever way to serve crepes. It likes a sandwich. A sandwich which has the crepe made with luscious cheese cooked into it, kinda giving you that burnt cheese taste which is really yummy. I had a babeque chicken crepe which had all the right and fresh ingredients,, so why am I hesitant to give a five star review...the amount of oil in the crepe itself was overbearing. The oil dripped down by fingers and my chin..i really couldn't handle it. It made me feel ill all the oil. How i wish they could reduce the oil. But i do have to say the insides were really good. In fact the crepe was delicious tasting...once you got the oil drained off but you really couldn't. They even put it in brown paper to cut some of the oil, but by mid way it is saturated. I like the space kinda minimalistic and warehouse like. I like the service it all felt so good..i just dont care for the inordinate amount of oil running down my fingers and chin. read more

I recently visited Gabino's Creperie East but unfortunately I will not go back to this eatery. A cook was sneezing and rubbing his nose while handling food. I brought this to the attention of the person behind the register which I believe is the manager or owner but he seemed offended that I discussed this with him. I asked the manager / owner to have someone else make our crepes and he said that it will be 10 more minutes. However, the manager/owner gave the crepes that were originally intended for us to someone else despite the fact the cook had been sneezing and rubbing his nose. GROSS!!! Bottom line if the cook is sick, stay home and if a customer informs the establishment that the food had been contaminated because the cook was sneezing and rubbing his nose, then any food the cook touched should have been throw out. This restaurant does not exercise appropriate health and safety rules so it is a NO for me. read more

We have absolutely loved this place since we started going in Palm Springs, and their new location is just as good with amazing seating. The crêpes are to die for, super flavorful, cheesy, saucy, crunchy, with fresh ingredients. I think our favorite this time, which is new since the last time we came, is the cheesesteak.

The cashier said there is no bacon in the buffalo wrap, I said okay even better. The crepe came with bacon & no avocado :( I also recommended everything like the lettuce & onion to be chopped or sliced or else it is so messy to eat.

Every single bite was the kind of good that makes you close your eyes mid-chew and ignore whoever's talking to you. But let's discuss the real star: the frosting!!! I was fully prepared for standard whipped cream or buttercream vibes, and instead got this cloud-like, silky situation that tasted rich but somehow light enough to justify eating an entire cupcake without emotional consequences. Tiffany herself let me in on the secret.... it's Italian meringue buttercream. So basically, classy buttercream that went to finishing school. Tiffany is also an absolute gem... warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what she's baking up. You can taste the love (and the butter, but mostly the love)!!! If you're in the desert and your sweet tooth starts whispering reckless ideas, listen to it. And definitely support this family-owned local spot.

If you find yourself in North Indio, there is one spot you absolutely cannot skip. After a family…read moresushi dinner this past Sunday night (April 19th), we decided to see if the local hype around Better Ice Cream was justified. Spoiler alert: it definitely is. First Impressions & Atmosphere The moment we walked in, the first thing I noticed wasn't just the display cases--it was how clean the place was. You could literally smell the freshly mopped floors, and every table was shining. It's rare to see a high-traffic dessert spot look that sharp on a busy weekend night. Service Under Pressure There was only one young lady behind the counter, and despite the place being packed, she was a total pro. She was incredibly attentive and managed to get everyone's order--including our group's--completed flawlessly without breaking a sweat. That kind of service is hard to find, especially when a shop is that busy. The Main Event: The Flavors The ice cream itself was amazing, but the real showstopper for me was the Orange Julius. It isn't pictured, but it was the highlight of the night. One sip took me straight back to my childhood--it was perfectly creamy, frothy, and hit all the right nostalgic notes. The Verdict Whether you're finishing off a meal or just looking for a weekend treat with the family, this place delivers. Great vibes, spotless environment, and top-tier treats. Pro Tip: If you're looking for a trip down memory lane, get the Orange Julius. You will not be disappointed!

My sister and I came here on a Saturday night. It was empty, with no customers. It was a small…read morelittle shop that reminded me of the 80s candy stores. We ordered a 4 pack. 4 scoops of ice cream since that was the special. The flavors were interesting and unique. Majority of the flavors that I would like at a regular ice cream shop, didn't taste like that here. I didn't really care for the ice cream. The girls working behind the counter seem to dislike being there, as they taking our order. Overall I would come back for a quick ice cream trip if I needed to.

Just stopped to pick up a chocolate shake - it was very tasty but a couple of comments…read more 1) $9 for a shake is a lot of money. You only offer one size - need to have small and larger. Also, there needs to be value. I could go to Frostee Freeze or McDonalds and get a shake for much less money. 2) Why no prices on the menu. This would help people decide and know the value of what they are getting. Also, it would be nice to have descriptions of all the items on the menu- raspados, locitos, etc.

I believed the hype and my expectation fell flat below disappointed…read more Upon entering, the theme is a cool eclectic, retro style, but was all over the place. Almost like a collector of things needed a place to display memoriablia. The place is called Coco Freeze Ice Cream Shop but they only have 8-10 flavors to choose from- maybe less... but definitely not more. We ordered a hot dog, corn, and ice cream. The counter person was nice and explained the difference between items like a volcano corn vs extreme corn. She also provided some suggestions. When the food/ice cream finally arrived, it was just okay. My ice cream portion on the super churros was small. It's one churro cut into 3 with melon baller sized ice cream scoops. The churro was a ready made like churro that was probably micro heated. The extreme hot cheetos corn was gross. The cheetos were stale, the corn was canned and tasted old and so did the cheese. No amount of lemon and tajin could fix it. The ice cream was good, but probably because it was Thriftys. The save was the hotdog. It's a polish dog, that was partially heated through, but decent enough to eat. Oh! Before I forget... a small little boy ran behind the counter and was playing back and forth from behind the counter. Word to the wise, that's an OSHA issue waiting to happen. People seem to like this place. I'm guessing mine was just an isolated bad experience. However, it was enough for me to decide it wont be a place for me to come back to. Just an fyi - there are no prices on the menu.$27 for 2 ice cream items, a hot dog and corn.

We come from Los Angeles where you can get whatever milk tea you want, so we looked for a place…read morehere to see what they have. Tea N Tea had lots of good reviews so we dropped by. It is a small store but really cute. They sell a variety of tea drinks as well as fruit slushies and refreshers, plus some delicious dacquoise pastries similar to macarons. You can also get cute toys and plushies. The cutest drink on the menu was a Doggie Latte! Anyway the Korean lady behind the counter is super nice and went above and beyond to make our visit a great experience. So glad we dropped by on our trip to Palm Desert!

Overall: 3.2/5 The…read morestore is cute with a huge menu and the owner is really nice. We asked her whether to get the Strawberry or the Ube Matcha and she said the Ube had been really popular lately so we went with the Ube Matcha (6.99). We made it jumbo ($2) to share, chose oat milk ($1), and added aloe vera jelly ($0.85) and black boba ($0.85). The drink came out mostly purple with only a little matcha on top and even after mixing it, it basically tasted like a taro milk tea. The aloe vera jelly didn't really match the drink either so I would skip that add on. Pretty disappointing given the high reviews on Yelp.

The crepes are consistently great!! Seriously, they got it down perfectly every single time we go. (Our kids absolutely love the cheese crepe and we know how picky kids can be sometimes) Staff is always super helpful and friendly! Music is great and just sitting in there makes you feel good. 10/10. read more
