An ice cream shop named after the constitutional amendment that ended Prohibition? Um...Yes!…read more With a theme like that, I had to try the apple whiskey ice cream while I was in Apple Valley. When did Apple Valley get hip? The cookies-and-cream scone made for a great breakfast, the owners were incredibly friendly, and they even sell used kids' books for 50 cents. If I lived nearby, I'd probably set up my laptop there for remote work and slowly make my way through the rest of the menu. Shoutout to 21st Amendment Creamery and Bakery.

Super super stoked to have found this gem in the desert!! It's so inviting!!…read more Not only do they have an assortment of delicious treats, sweets and bread, but they have sodas and coffee! It was really hard for me to choose what to get, but I went with coffee cake (after looking at other reviews), blueberry and cheese danish, cookies and cream scone and a carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting. So far I've only eaten the coffee cake while I've been enjoying the outdoor seating area and the ambience and the coffee & coffee cake were enough to make me want to leave a solid review!! Everything is affordable and I can't remember the last time I truly felt that way in recent times. Come support this local business and feel the value of your dollar for yourself and your community. They have lots of board games inside and books for sale, some for only 50 cents! I can't wait to come back with my kids for their ice cream and check out one of their trivia nights. They said they post their events on instagram! I am so pleased!! Love a good local business!! It makes my heart happy!! We have enough soulless corporations and chains

I love Vanilla Malts. Every Baskin Robbins has them. NOT this one. The girl didn't even know what…read more"malt" was. I took my Grandson 3 days in a row for a Vanilla cone. They were out of vanilla for 3 days. So no Vanilla Malts. Finally on day 4 my Grandson relented and choose Cookies N Cream...which was up to the Baskin Robbins tradition and standards as always. Their shortages might stem from the fact that the PX is 80 miles round-trip from Barstow (nearest city, town, village, or hamlet). Just remember, this base is in the middle-of-nowhere, so adjust your desires acordingly.

The chocolate sauce used was a tad bit watery, consistent wise, from what I'm used to my Sundays being topped with, But the chocolatey flavor was still there. I know it's a bit of a watered down complaint (no pun intended) that's why I feel it didn't warrant the removal of a star for this review. I also know how somewhat overly critical I can be about how my Sundays are made. One other thing I liked was the Bogo special they had going on with certain menu items, one of which being their Sundays. so the fact that I was able to get two for the price of one, definitely put a smile on my face.

We've been doing the drive back & fourth from Vegas to California 100x... But we've NEVER stopped…read moreover here! We were totally missing out! Our in-laws told us to try to make a stop here when we drive back from California. We seen the stop and decided heck, we'd try to make a pit stop. When we first walked in.... "Ohhh my lanta" was my first thought. I'm in snack heaven! They literally have every single snack by the pound that you could think of. They also had little knickknacks, food & ice cream! Idk how we've missed this place sooo many times. But we will definitely be back again.

Update May '26: - nuuu they eradicated the urinal shooting…read moregame! It was the highlight of my Vegas trip pit stops D: + Yay free ice water galore. + Still much better than the Chevron in Baker. That Chevron's big too, but man it's sooo crowded and slow, all the ice is gone. . A meal for me here still costs ~$30 + Good amount of parking. I had: $11.99 Alexander bacon + $3.49 fries + $1.50 drink + $11.99 3pc Ckn basket + 3% cc surcharge + tax = $32.16 May '22: tl,dr: Fantastic in-the-middle-of-nowhere establishment! Tips: . If you're a dude, arrive here with a full bladder so you can enjoy a full shooting game on the urinal. ;D . Refill your soda cup before you hit the road again. Gotta stay awake. Likes: + Located in the middle of nowhere. + For a hole in the wall, it's a very well-stocked store. + Huge amount of gas pumps. Many ppl stop here along the way, yet there's enough room for everyone. + Strategic pit stop between LA and Vegas. + The tacos were great! + Huge assortment of toys and sweets to entertain the kids.

Toppings are fresh and plentiful, and the staff keeps everything really clean. My only gripe is that a couple flavors taste more artificial than I'd like, but overall it's a solid choice when you're craving frozen yogurt. There are tables to be seated and enjoy your treat. Definitely worth a stop!

I recently stopped by Dairy Queen Grill & Chill in Baker, CA, on my way to Las Vegas and it turned…read moreout to be a solid and convenient break during a long desert drive. They have restrooms that you can use and it is located outside and gated so you know it is safe. The interior of the restroom was OK. It definitely needed more cleaning sessions and it did smell but it was fully stocked with toilet paper and seat liners so that's a plus. Given that this is one of those classic roadside spots that gives you exactly what you need, I didn't grade it as strict. This dairy queen as all the food items as their sister stores but I was able to find out that they did include fried cheese curds at this location. What a hidden find! I also got their chocolate dipped cone to eat afterwards. I got an order to go and was happy eating my freshly made cheese curds while charging my car at the nearvy TESLA chargers. Quick comf food plus a refreshing treat. The service was good and efficient, especially considering how busy it can get with travelers passing through. At this location, the interior dining is small with a few spots to sit down and enjoy your treats. Definitely plent of parking in the front for customers to make a pit stop.

Maybe I was hungry but it was surprisingly pretty good. The buns were soft and pattys tasted meaty without it being dry. Their blizzard treats were very refreshing during a drive. Restroom is connected to this gas station area. It was very busy when I went so the line was wrapped around outside. Luckily I had an RV to go to otherwise I'd probably had to wait for 15 mins.

We found parking easily and walked on - as soon as we walked in we were greeted warmly - always a good sign! The inside was very clean - it took us a minute to remember the menu because we don't get there often. Ordering was easy and the person at the counter was super friendly! Food was made quickly and was very tasty, hot and fresh! When we were finished I went to thrown our trash and put the tray back and I noticed the gentleman who was making the food and told him everything was delicious! He was very friendly Would definitely stop here again

I really wanted to like Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers after hearing all the good reviews…read moreI've heard, so we made a stop on the way back from a family trip. Unfortunately... it didn't quite live up to it. I ordered the Freddy's Original Steakburger and it was honestly underwhelming. The patty came out dry and lacking flavor, topped with oversized chunks of onions and a single long pickle that didn't really help the situation. My wife's chili dog was just... there. Nothing memorable. Now, I will give credit where it's due. The thin fries were actually pretty good, even though my daughter jokingly called them "Ozempic fries" and honestly... she wasn't wrong. What saved this visit from dropping lower were the shakes and the service. The Signature Turtle Shake and Oreo Double Trouble Shake were fire. I'm not even a sweets person, but I kept going back for more of my wife's shake. Staff was also friendly and welcoming, which helped soften the disappointment. Overall, come for the shakes, maybe skip the mains.

It could've been a better experience if we didn't have to listen to the manager talking to her…read moreemployees at top volume about firing a specific female employee the entire time we sat inside and ate. The way she was speaking was incredibly tactless and unprofessional. The employees seemed calm. The manager must have been really upset to be talking so loudly for so long, without any regard for the customers who had to hear it. The yogurt and toppings were great. I especially liked the little mochi bites. Today was "no weigh Wednesday", so it was $6 for just about as much as you can fit into a cup, which was a nice deal. Overall: cute concept but unpleasant ambiance.
