If you find yourself in North Indio, there is one spot you absolutely cannot skip. After a family…read moresushi dinner this past Sunday night (April 19th), we decided to see if the local hype around Better Ice Cream was justified. Spoiler alert: it definitely is. First Impressions & Atmosphere The moment we walked in, the first thing I noticed wasn't just the display cases--it was how clean the place was. You could literally smell the freshly mopped floors, and every table was shining. It's rare to see a high-traffic dessert spot look that sharp on a busy weekend night. Service Under Pressure There was only one young lady behind the counter, and despite the place being packed, she was a total pro. She was incredibly attentive and managed to get everyone's order--including our group's--completed flawlessly without breaking a sweat. That kind of service is hard to find, especially when a shop is that busy. The Main Event: The Flavors The ice cream itself was amazing, but the real showstopper for me was the Orange Julius. It isn't pictured, but it was the highlight of the night. One sip took me straight back to my childhood--it was perfectly creamy, frothy, and hit all the right nostalgic notes. The Verdict Whether you're finishing off a meal or just looking for a weekend treat with the family, this place delivers. Great vibes, spotless environment, and top-tier treats. Pro Tip: If you're looking for a trip down memory lane, get the Orange Julius. You will not be disappointed!

It's pretty straightforward, orders d pay at a screen and they will make your creation and call when it's ready. I went for the indulgent grilled cheese with pulled pork, Mac n cheese and chips. I added fig jam on the side for an extra flavor profile. The sandwich was loaded with cheese, meat and Mac goodness. It's definitely a MEAL! We had to try the ice cream which didn't disappoint. I selected banana with chocolate chips. It was rich and creamy with amazing banana flavor on a hot summer night. They have a fun selection of fountain soda flavors and bags of chips as a side. It can get a little smoky inside from the sandwich press which I'm sure they will work on. The people here are friendly and make you feel welcome. The music here is great too!

We don't have any drive thru Dairy Queen's where I'm from as far as I know, so this was a treat. As I mentioned this is a newer store and thus has a nice drive thru, landscaping, and fresh paint. Strictly from the drive thru service was great. The gentlemen taking the orders was clear, quick and helpful when we inquired about their lactose options. Polite customer service and efficient. Can always appreciate that. Walked away with three ice creams for the car for about $17. I had a hot fudge sundae, a classic, and it was delicious. Love the hot fudge. This place was a treat but wanted to give a kudos to this location as it's solid and perfect for these hot days in the desert.
