Stopped in on a Friday night and it was surprisingly empty and quiet. We were the only ones there,…read morebut I think that's because a lot of the shops nearby close pretty early. We got half peach sorbet and half espresso. The peach sorbet was definitely my favorite. It had a really fresh peach flavor and was refreshing without being too sweet. The espresso was good too. You could taste the coffee, but as someone who loves espresso, I just wanted the flavor to be a little stronger. Service was quick and friendly. The guy working there was attentive and got us taken care of without any issues. Overall, it was a great spot for gelato. I would definitely come back, especially for the peach sorbet.

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!!!!

Regardless, the ice cream was creamy and high quality! I sampled the lemon meringue pie and the cookies and cream. I ended up getting a scoop of the cookies and cream, which tasted like a rich vanilla with crumbled Oreos mixed in.

One of the…read morestaff members mentioned that I could mix flavors, so I went with the Vanilla Bean and Coffee--and wow, it did not disappoint. The flavor combination was amazing! The texture was a solid 10/10--super smooth with the perfect consistency. I'd definitely say this is one of the best premium shakes I've had. It also helped me survive the triple-digit heat outside. If you're in the area, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

We got the banana date shake and it came with a donut! They had like 4 sizes and ours (2nd size) was already a good amount of shake. Really good but a bit too sweet for our liking, think we'd try the regular date shake next time. Service was really friendly, perfect for a palm springs summer

The two diabolical ladies worked in tandem with their excellent customer service. On top of purchasing the toffee and popcorn, I also got the toffee affogato. So decadent and enough for two if you feel like sharing. It's like the best coffee ice cream with a buttery, chocolate crunch. Your taste buds will thank you. Came back again for another toffagato! (Day 2) Treat yourself!

Passed this cute storefront a couple of times thinking they only sold toffee, so I was surprised to…read moresee a sign out front advertising coffee. It's a small shop with a few tables, making it a nice spot to sit and escape the heat. When we ordered at the counter, we were offered samples of their toffee and popcorn. They were so good I would've taken some home if we'd had a cool place to store them during the drive home. We ordered the toffee latte. At $10, it's a little pricey, though I understand it's made with their specialty toffee syrup. It was definitely espresso forward, which I didn't mind, but I wish the toffee flavor came through more instead of just a subtle hint with each sip. Even so, it was still a pretty decent latte and worth a visit when walking downtown.

This is one of the spots that was a go to on my trip to Palm Springs…read more I'm so glad I was able to come visit and try their date smoothie. I visited on a Thursday when they had a bunch of vendors out side on the street. Their service was great. They were pretty busy with visitors walking by. My friend and I got date smoothies. She also got a scoop of another ice cream as well. The smoothie was so thick and creamy. It was the perfect dessert after a meal. Unfortunately, my friend did not love the smoothie, but I was able to take hers and save it in the freezer for another day. I'm definitely thinking about the next time I can stop by!

I think Lappert's is the 1 ice cream shop in town that keeps rather late hours. When we arrived, I…read morefeel like the gentleman working behind the counter looked kind of overwhelmed. There was a long line for Minh. Lots of people wanted their cold sweet treats before the night ended. No matter, he kept on plugging along and kept helping everybody. He asked that people be patient and said that he appreciated that people are coming in and that they were being as patient as possible. I have a feeling we all just understood that it is what it is. Their prices are very reasonable. I feel like they're about the same as every other ice cream shop, especially the local ones. I am very glad that they were open when we came in. There are not very many places where you can find freshly dipped chocolate dipped/covered bananas. I happen to love a chocolate covered banana every now and then. Apparently this past visit was the time. It was so good. My kiddo had shaved ice. That was phenomenal. Their flavors are very good. And although at first, I thought that the amount of syrup that the store associate was putting on was going to be too much, it was not. It was sweet, but not over the top. There was enough syrup, but it wasn't like drinking a bowl full of juice at the end. Literally, just enough of everything. Typically we ask for our shaved eyes to be prepared with mochi Or condensed milk but this time, no just the classic syrups were good. They have quite a selection. There was a flavor or two I believe that I was looking for, but didn't seem to be available. That's fine. They were about 50 others to choose from. I can't remember what my husband ordered but he's got something and was quite happy with it. Although it was very hot out, there were a lot of people sitting outside in front of the store. A gentleman there apparently kind of parks himself on one of those benches and plays awesome instrumental music on his guitar on the streets in the downtown area of Palm Springs. He's actually very good. I can't remember what his Instagram name is, but I do remember my family tipping him for entertaining us, but also following him right away. He was really good. That made for a super nice experience at the ice cream shop. And if by chance the owner of this particular location does read my review, I really just want you to know how hard working your ice cream shop employees are. They were so awesome. They were really doing the most to try to help all of us and make us all happy. This was quite a treat. I was really glad that we stopped by. Oh, and before I forget to mention, parking is available in the downtown area all up and down the street. Considering we were at the ice cream shop fairly late, there was more than enough parking everywhere.

They also have a bunch of other great wines, olive oils, pasta dishes, desserts, take-and-bake pizza, etc. There's a lot to love here. Tip: you can buy a bottle of wine there and drink it with lunch. Highly recommend this place - one of my favorite lunch spots in the desert. Also walking distance to 2 great coffee shops and some other fun local businesses. Seating inside is limited but when the weather is nice they have a sizable patio. They're very take-out forward, so don't plan your visit around the weather.

We really wanted to love this place.

A single scoop was over $6 and now they are charging you per topping with some toppings listed as a premium item. When they first opened up, they featured a free topping bar as well as special ice cream scoop days. The ice cream was not bad and the Matcha oreo flavor was tasty, but not worth the price in my opinion. The store has become a gift store closet with 1 million different knickknacks to look at. The staff did a great job at helping us choose a flavor. However, I would probably recommend a different dessert unless you were dying for a late night scoop of ice cream.

Both of us agreed the ice cream was good but visiting the ice cream shop there was only about 8 to 12 different flavors that you could choose from. I think it's a good place to just go in and out but not a lot of variety. Also, there is no seating inside just only outside. I think I would be back again, but would like to see some different flavors.

Great Service! Good people! The wait can sometimes be…read morelengthy but it is so worth it as every employee that I've come into contact with has given exceptional customer service. And have proven themselves to be true artisans in the art of shake elevation. The extraordinary libations they concoct seem to defy logic, seeking to enchant each drink with a level of divine deliciousness not often attempted, and rarely accomplished. But this they manage to do. Each time. So hats off to Monster Shakes for their whimsical creations, and the supreme love they have for their customers. Your dedication to your community is made stronger with every ring of a bell that signals a new customer at your door. Thank you.

I have been here multiple times under the last owner and I had the best experience, but no matter the quality of the items, the service was horrible and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Visit Cat City location or Great shakes in downtown Palm Springs:) It was a small misunderstanding and the owner went out of her way to try and correct me, even went as far as going back and forth with me. She should have politely corrected the issue which was over sample cups for some reason they don't offer sample cups in an ice cream shop. It was very rude, she came around the counter and pointed out the sign that read something about sample cups that I didn't see because they advertised a new flavor so I immediately asked the employee to try it and he didn't explain the process very well and I clearly asked so I just try it from the cup and he said yes. I then went over to try the product and she came around very rude instead of guiding me. I didn't order anything because of the obnoxious response from the owner. She proceeded to tell me to have a great day with a snippy attitude as if she knew nothing would happen to her business with just one bad review. Hopefully this review guides you to better locations so that you can have a wonderful experience elsewhere. I will never return...
