I bought some of their caramel corn at Vons recently. It was excellent and I plan on buying more.

Family owned business. The woman behind the counter is very friendly and knowledgeable. Great place for hostess gifts.

Unfortunately I think this place relies on its location and not on products or service. There is so…read moremuch potential here, but what you have is an aging store that is more "needs attention" than intentional nostalgia. The candy is old and definitely not fresh, the date shakes were meh at best (tragic, considering where it's located) and a cashier that seems as happy to be here are the stale candy and outdated decor. Definitely a "will not return" and that's a shame.

Due to the oppressive heat, Jamie W and I were in the mood for a date shake. Like real bad. We had…read morejust finished a cocktail combing expedition on E Arenas Road and decided something thick, sweet, and suckable was needed in a non-alcoholic setting. Now we could've gone to Great Shakes (review: https://yelp.to/mzOC66QAth), but there was a line and we just had no patience. So we walked over to this place because only a handful of people were in here. It wasn't a shake shack but a sweets shop, an old-fashioned, family-run operation. There was just one woman behind the counter, and she was busily handling orders for chocolates and candied apples. We waited our turn and ordered a couple of the $7.99 Date Shakes (Photo 9). They were fine, even without the mini-donuts Great Shakes serves with theirs. I need to give her credit for making it from scratch without any help from the rest of the family. FOOD - 3 stars...good date shake, no frills AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...look at all those sweets! SERVICE - 4 stars...she works hard for the money TOTAL - 3 stars...a sweet tooth goes far here RELATED - Exploring Palm Springs?

Our family absolutely love this place…read more Last time we were there we got a couple sundaes which were delicious. We also loaded up with some Carmel corn for ourselves and gifts. Listen, this place is both very clean with great service. Cheri was very friendly and attentive. Love this place!

We dropped in after a stay just a few minutes down the street. It was a bit hard to find in the…read moreplaza--it's tucked behind the main buildings in the far back corner, almost like it was there before the larger retailers (CVS, Hobby Lobby) filled in around it. We came in on a Sunday and it was completely empty--just me and my two kids. The lights in the large kitchen behind the glass were off, and most of the lights except the ones near the counter were off too. There was only one person working. It felt a bit quiet and subdued. My kids' excitement about going to an ice cream shop quickly turned into confusion and wariness of my promises. While the cashier had to make all 3 of our shakes after taking the order, she was super friendly and patient throughout, even offering my kids extra toppings and sample popcorn on the side. The great service could have easily been th best part of the experience had the toffee not tasted so good. I ended up getting the toffee popcorn and the toffee bites for myself--both were delicious. It is not inexpensive so I'm not sure I'd say the taste fully justifies the price. That said, the toffee is really, really good, so I'm trying to make it last as long as possible. Overall, I'm glad we stopped. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to seek it out, but if we were nearby again, we would definitely stop by.

Great service. SUPER INTERESTING experience. You can have their best shake date drink while buying…read moresome awesome memorabilia and enjoy sitting in their theater learning all about dates. Afterwards, you can hit up their restaurant or take a long stroll in their garden area. 1 shake would have been enough for two people.

This has been on my list forever and I didn't realize that it isn't too faraway from the Marriott…read morethat I inhabit once a year. As a date lover, I had to try (and compare) it to that other famous place by Morongo and I will say that the Shield's date shake is thicker and more date-intense! They also had date ice cream which I will have to try the next time. I found the shop to be charming with lots of old school toys, jewelry, kitchen accessories and, of course, dates! There are many varieties sold here, including Mr. Shield's exclusive "blonde" and "brunette". There's date sugar, date crystals, syrup, jam, rubs, honey and pancake mix! I was tempted to go crazy! The theater is at the back of the shop and it is flat out old school charming. Alas, no air con. The history of this special place plays on a continuous loop and is about 15 minutes. Well worth it for the history and to appreciate how labor intensive date farming is! Fascinating. The items are all a bit pricey. There is a cash price and a credit card price on each item and everything is clearly marked. I don't mind supporting a family business and, anyway, they had me at, "date shake." Unfortunately, it was a hot June day, 110 degrees, so I didn't venture outside. If it's cooler next time, I'll definitely wander around... I will be back!
