    Rocky road milkshake
    Kaitlyn C.

    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

    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.

    Monster size vegan date shake ~$12. Large size regular date shake (w/butter toffee flavor??!) ~9.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Yeah, working our way through the menu...so good! :) Best dark chocolate ice cream I've had in a while. Great location, nice staff!

    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.

    Michelle J.

    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.

On a peak summer weekend evening, during one of the busiest tourist seasons of the year, this location had only two employees working. One person was responsible for scooping ice cream for a line of well over 30 customers (including many children), while the other was simultaneously trying to begin closing duties and keep the store clean. The wait for a single scoop of ice cream was nearly an hour. This isn't an employee problem. It's a management and staffing problem. Watching these young employees--who appeared to be high school or college-aged--do everything they could to remain kind, professional, and efficient while being set up to fail was genuinely upsetting. No employee should be expected to serve an entire packed store while also maintaining cleanliness and preparing for closing. At minimum, a rush like this should have had multiple employees dedicated to serving customers, with another person focused on cleaning and operational tasks. As a customer, I was less bothered by the wait than I was by watching two people shoulder an impossible workload. It also raised concerns about whether employees are realistically able to take their required breaks when staffing is this inadequate. Kayla and Ishmael deserve recognition, a substantial raise, and sincere appreciation for maintaining professionalism under circumstances that would overwhelm almost anyone. They represented your business far better than your management did. Management needs to do better. This level of understaffing is unacceptable, especially during predictable peak business hours. It's 2026--businesses know when their busiest seasons are. Proper staffing isn't a luxury; it's a basic responsibility to both employees and customers. To Kayla and Ishmael: if you're reading this, thank you for your hard work. You deserve to work for an employer that values your time, your well-being, and your effort.

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!!!!

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...

There were approximately 15 people already ahead of us in line, so we waited our turn like everyone else. Around 9:58 PM, two employees came outside and announced that the two parties directly ahead of my daughter and me would be the last customers they would serve, and that everyone behind them needed to leave because they were "already closed." I understand it was close to 10:00 PM, and I completely respect that employees want to close on time after a busy holiday. However, the store was not technically closed yet, and there were no employees outside beforehand directing the line or letting customers know where the cutoff would be. Had someone been managing the line earlier, customers could have made an informed decision instead of standing there waiting. What upset me the most was what happened next. After my daughter, I, and several others walked away as instructed, the party directly behind us was allowed to remain in line and continue waiting. That was not the right move to make. If there was going to be a cutoff, it should have been applied fairly and consistently to everyone. Allowing people behind us to stay after telling us to leave made the situation feel unfair and left a very poor impression. This wasn't about missing out on ice cream it was about the lack of organization, communication, and fairness. As someone who has supported Handel's for years, I expected much better customer service. On a busy holiday like the Fourth of July, it's understandable that things get hectic, but that's exactly when clear communication and proper line management matter the most. If management has any questions about this review, I encourage you to review your security camera footage between 9:52 PM and 9:58 PM on the Fourth of July. It should verify exactly what occurred and how the line was handled. I sincerely hope this was an isolated incident, but I also hope management takes this as an opportunity to improve how closing procedures are communicated and enforced so future customers aren't put in the same situation.
