It's alway a must for ice cream regardless what time of year it is. Another place that I've seen so many times walking past. Plus it's right across the street from the theatres and a couple of restaurants and bars. It's located right in the heart of downtown Cathedral City. Plenty of parking with the street, parking lot, and the structure thats round the corner. When we walked in, I was surprised at how big the place was. A couple tables for outside seating and a good amount inside. The gentleman working was the sweetest. Very friendly and nice. He explained what was there as it was our first time here. They have all the selection of flavored dole soft serve. There's a wall with all the selections. Same concept with the frozen yogurt where you grab a cup, serve yourself and add your topping and then it gets weight. Except it's the dole flavors. Then there's the ice cream counter with whatever flavors you crave. Loads to choose from that it can be overwhelming, but in a good way....lol. Besides a scoop of ice cream, they also offer the fancy creation. Shakes, sundae, bananas splits, ice cream sandwiches and so much more options. I kept it simple this time with two scoops of salted caramel and cookies and cream. Classic yet so good. We now know what this place is all about and it's definitely a favorite so far. The gentleman working was a major doll and the sweetest. Will for sure be back for more ice cream and dessert. Plus, they have an amazing selection with music. read more

Terrible experience relayed to me by my husband Joe. This evening, my husband ,Joe went to Monster Shakes by the Mary Pickford theater to meet a friend for a sweet treat. He arrived a few minutes early and went inside to wait. The man behind the counter asked what he wanted to order, and Joe politely explained that he would wait to order until his friend arrived in about five minutes. The employee told Joe that he could not wait inside unless he was ordering ice cream immediately. Joe again explained that his friend was almost there, but the man nastily told him to wait outside instead. My husband, not wanting any confrontation, went outside and stood in 104° weather waiting for his friends. When they arrived, they all went inside and still spent about $25 on ice cream. What upsets me most is that there was no apology, no explanation, and the store was completely empty at the time. Nobody should be treated this way, especially over simply waiting a few minutes for a friend inside an ice cream shop. I will absolutely be contacting the manager or owner to understand why this happened. I can also guarantee that I will never recommend or return to Monster Shakes after hearing about this disgraceful treatment of my dear husband. read more

What could go wrong with an ice cream place that has everything? Nothing! This place has tons of different ice cream, and lots of creative ways to eat it. Yum! My grandson ordered a monster size Chocolate Thunder (see picture below) and he ate every last bite! Service was terrific, and the place was nice and clean. A great choice if you're an ice cream, lover! read more

Love the smoothies I always get the peanut butter & banana amazing! The staff is really nice it's my go to place now read more

We came close to closing, and the guy still had a nice attitude even though he told us we can't eat our milkshake and ice cream inside. He was able to take everyone's order who walked in and helped us out. It was nice that the donut was a nice little treat on top of the shake read more

Oh yes!! Fun variety, an amazingly nice and great staff, and a generally great place for casual dessert. I just had the simple scoop ice cream, but there was soft serve and other treats. I have been here a few times and the folks that work here are always, and I mean ALWAYS, friendly. Grab yours to go and walk around. There are some good spots to sit. Winner read more

It was tasty! I had the watermelon frozen yogurt with a side of watermelon boba. My husband got strawberry frozen yogurt with some toppings. The staff is friendly. It's tucked away near the movie theater so it's perfect for grabbing a sweet treat before or after. We sat outside on the patio to enjoy in a beautiful sunny day. They don't allow samples of the yogurt which I found a tad odd. But I would return. read more

I think this is my favorite date shake spot. Kinda pricey, but there are actual pieces of dates at the bottom which are tasty. Not totally a fan of the vegan coconut base, I think oat or almond milk is better. But still not bad. The regular date shake milk base was the best though obviously, so good with the butter toffee flavor (took sips)! I think that flavoring was put in (didn't totally clarify that we wanted it but maybe the staff guy heard me say it which is fine lol--btw, sorry Mr. Staff guy for scaring you initially when you were getting ready to close up & we walked in; other customers came in last minute too oops but we appreciated you!). Too bad I'm lactose intol. I got an allergic reaction from nut contamination at Great Shakes that upset me. Lappert's was not good either with their coconut based date shake (my least fav). Will be back! read more

This menu is so insane and fun; probably the highlight of our trip to Palm Springs for my kids, haha! The options are basically endless. While we tried to make sense of the combos and options, my son was pretty set on a giant blue Cookie Monster smoothie. Of course they top that wild thing with a pound of whip and a cute lil donut. Service was kind and welcoming. We will definitely return to explore some more items. read more

Monster Shakes in the fall had me doing the Monster Mash! This frozen dessert, smoothie, juice and bowl bar spot was the perfect place to pop in after a day of fun in the sun. One of two locations in the Coachella Valley - Monster Shakes - Cathedral City is located in the Cat City hub off (East) Palm Canyon Drive on Pickfair St/Buddy Rogers Ave by the Mary Pickford Theater and Cathedral City Civic Center near many shops, eateries and scenic parts of CC. I spotted Monster Shakes and knew it was meant to be. Pulled up their menu on my phone with a QR scan on their front door... Figured out what to order and got the best customer treatment being the only customer in when I walked in (some others just finishing up previously and a pick up order or so while I was enjoying some yummy bliss). I went with the Vegan Date Milkshake, which was total awesomeness... Probably the best thing I had while up in the C.V. for several days. And also an Acai Bowl which was loaded with granola nuts, fresh fruit and all things energy bowl. My only issue was the acai itself being overly frozen so it took longer to get through and enjoy, but overall was pretty awesome. Inside is fun, bright and clean. Restroom was fairly up to par and gender neutral. Easy parking very close by for/in this mall plaza center of sorts - including some spots right in front! The guy who made everything was nothing but cool, chill, funny and friendly. Great personality (believe he might be an owner). Definitely stopping in again. read more

Monster Shakes - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Extremely clean establishment with plenty of seating and awesome customer service. Centrally located in downtown CatCity across from the theater and sitting in the middle of several restaurants with ample parking all around. This was our first time here. We stopped in after dinner to continue celebrating Nurses Week. This is the place if you like Dole Whips...flavors for days! This place is all about creating your creation. A simple strawberry shake is a master piece all Of its own, topped with a powdered donut...whaaa?! I settled for a simple, one scoop of salted caramel which was fantastic. We'll totally be back. read more

I was disappointed after getting a pina mango shake instead of my regular açaí shake. Tommy at the Cathedral City location refused to substitute the banana with blueberries. Never had an issue before when requesting the substitution, however the last couple of times, I was told it can no longer be an option. The pina mango shake didn't even taste right so for someone allergic to bananas, the shake options are utterly limited when substituting is not allowed. Gonna have to get my shakes from other places from now on read more

Nice selection of ice cream. Three cone sizes plus several cup sizes. Don't know about the shakes. Place is very tidy and service was good. We will return read more

They won't serve people with peanut allergies because they don't was shake maker in between shakes.

Coachella date shake was good. We stopped in just for this. Yes we are being cheesy tourists. Shake was refreshing and tasty. Never thought of adding dates to shakes. read more

Great wonderful! I loved it very much. crazy things are there. Many different kinds of boba go great with all the dole whip flavors. So many great toppings & the self serve is fun for kids. read more

This is the best ice cream/ shakes and more shop in the valley !! They have a variety of options which makes it nice because my daughters love to get frozen yogurt while me and my husband love to get their banana splits or chocolate dipped cheesecake. The owners are nice and the shop is always clean . read more

The person that waited on me was unfriendly and unprofessional. The shake was just mediocre, and ambience was unwelcoming.

Amazing location!!! We love all the staff and the shades too. Highly recommend going in for a treat.

Super nice and friendly customer service behind the counter. They have a partnership with the Mary Pickford theatre and you get a free cookie with the purchase of a shake if you show your ticket stub! read more

Came from Indio for an ice cream here and they were closed 45minutes ahead of time. There were workers inside and just looking. So disappointing they should adjust there hours read more

Actually really good, got some left over shake that was going to get thrown away anyways right after he made it and man it was delicious, mixture of vanilla and cashews ALOT to choose from read more

It was okay, we got the Birthday Cake shake and the other one ( I can't remember the name) was chocolate and strawberry flavored. The birthday cake shake had the hostess cupcake that was dry, it just didn't look like the pictures or close to it. The milkshake was good but they both tasted the same. For the price we paid, I could have just made my own buying all the stuff. read more

At @9:30. All the lights were on, but the doors were locked, and the employees scurried like rats to the back. If you say you are open until 10, then why are you not receiving paying customers. Lost my business for sure. read more

Monster Shakes - This was captured 15 minutes after I was at the store and it was closed so at 9:30 lights are on no one to serve. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Bad food. Bad service overall not a place I would recommend visiting. The bro behind the counter was pretty rude. Didn't feel like he wanted to be dealing with me. I definitely wouldn't bring your family here. They kind of atmosphere they try and portray seems to be for families. However it's really just overpriced. Garbage served by rude people read more

Horrible, Rude, disrespectful and flat out should not be in a customer service industry. I've never been kicked out 5 minutes after ordering cause they want to close earlier due to being there since 10:00, nobody told them to own an ice cream parlor! read more

Great place incredible service. They have more flavors of dull whip than I have ever seen in my entire life.

My boyfriend and I found this place on yelp and decided to come get dessert here. When we walked in we were WOWed! The ambiance is amazing! It's such a nice place and super clean!! The options for desserts are endless and everything looked so amazing!!! We got the Nothin' to Snicker About and holy moly it was delicious!!! It looked exactly like the picture!

Absolutely love this place. The choices are endless! Definitely satisfies any sweet tooth. Outstanding service.

Monster Shakes is my favorite Shake shop anywhere. I stop in every time I am in town. I really like that they keep coming up with new stuff. They've recently opened a second location which is great. I tried the new strawberry Oreo shake and it was solid. My favorite so far is their other strawberry shake. This is a great place for people of all ages. I've only been to the desert during the winter, but I'm certain this place is a must have during summer months. read more

Amazing spot for milkshakes! Service is always very friendly, location is very clean and it is always air conditioned which is a must especially for Palm Springs. Parking is super easy and an amazing variety of milkshakes everyone in your group will definitely find something they like! read more

My new favorite ice cream store. We ordered banana split OMG, it was the best! Cotton candy, it's really good, and coffee is not much. I think they can still fix it! All in all, it was a very good experience, and there's so many ice cream flavors and menus to explore. read more

Monster Shakes - New flavor chocolate brownie - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cathedral City, California

I had been to the Palm Springs store twice and looking at the menu board makes you smile. Such strange and wonderful concoctions. Any adult with a child's heart will understand. Because I went during COVID. Space was limited and the wait was long. This time I saw the Cathedral City branch and it was a good experience. The owner was pleasant and informative Lots of space to sit and eat. And of course great ice cream. 1 Banana split feeds 2. I would have gave it 5 stars but I wanted my hot fudge sundae to be thick hot and gooey. But it was more pretty than gooey Still , if you like crazy over the top ice cream and shakes the Cat City location is great. 2 for about 30 bucks read more
