Popped in to grab a desert dog coffee and milkshake before hitting the road. They were okay, but a nice reprieve from the heat. The service was quick. Interior is very cute with plenty to peruse while you wait for your beverage. read more

This place is very family friendly. It's a coffee shop and an ice cream shop. My kids LOVED their ice creams. They also offered vegan ice cream options. They have a really cute seating area inside with a huge chalkboard that my kids loved. The employees were super sweet and friendly. We were immediately greeted as soon as we walked through the door. I pass this shop often when I'm on road trips so I think I found my new favorite spot to go to. I definitely recommend and can't wait to visit again. read more

We love coming to the coyote cone. We always get their specialties: the snake bite and the desert dog drinks. The kick from the cayenne really hits you with a punch which is just the thing you need before Joshua Tree. The ladies running the store are so friendly. The interior also has a bunch of Knick knacks/souvenirs to bring home to your family. Come here if you're in the area to support such a sweet local business. read more

If you haven't been to Coyote Cone yet make sure you get by! The new owners Steve and Gwyn are adding new things all the time! Everyone is great there and the drinks and ice cream are awesome! My hubby always gets his favorite the Snakebite. Myself, I like to always change it up but two of my faves are Gimme S'more with a little more sweet and the Date Shake. And we always share the Ham, Egg & Cheddar English Muffin if we go by in the morning. And if you're looking for nostalgic candy and unique gifts this is the place to go! So Have A Great Week, Be Blessed And Eat More Ice Cream!! read more

I come here so often to get a breakfast sandwich and iced tea/coffee. So far my favorite drink is the honey vanilla iced latte! They also have a super full bulletin board to see what's going on around town and a cute lil library. read more

The Coyote Cone - Apple cinnamon Oatmilk latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Morongo Valley, California

This place is a gem. It's so adorable. A retro type ice cream and confection oasis. We found it because of Yelp! (Our community is the best!) I got an affogato which was amazing and my kiddo loved her scoop. They had neat color change spoons that we still have in our glove box. The gals that work there are so kind and welcoming. We stopped in while visiting the area. I only wish we lived closer! read more

I would not recommend this place. You can get the same thrifty's ice cream. They have at Vons or any Rite Aid that's open. The customer service really sucks. They don't acknowledge you or anything. Two days in a row I went two days in a row. I left without anything in hand. All I wanted was espresso on vanilla ice cream and they couldn't even acknowledge me or took 11 minutes and I was still not asked what I wanted to order or anything so I left. Their customer service really sucks. I highly recommend do not go here. I would rather go to frontier café in Yucca Valley. read more

This place got 5 stars for a reason. Been coming to Jtree for years and I've never been or seen this place. Took my 3 y/o to the park for a day of scrambling and exploring. And wanted to get him a fun treat before the drive home. Opted to skip out on boring Rite Aid and came here instead. It was well after dark and there ain't much outside lighting but we came for ice cream so we weren't skipping out. Service was friendly, our banana split was bomb, and the little one had fun looking at the community books. Even found one to take home! Will be making a stop here every trip from now on.

Come for cravings and leave with a happy stomach. Coyote Cone makes some mean desserts that will have you coming back for more.

didn't know what to expect but it's a nice little ice cream shop I thought it was their own ice cream similar to Cold Stone Creamery or Baskin and Robbin's but its a mixed of ice cream brands but they sell only Thriftys. They do offer more than ice cream which is nice but preferably it just didn't feel authentic like other ice cream shops. We should have just waited for Salt and Straw or something else read more

It's a fun place, with a lot of different treats. In warm weather, it's great that Morongo Valley residents have something close to home. The ice cream is good. (It's Thrifty brand) read more

Charm overload! Adorable roadside coffee and ice cream shop with so much more. They have a huge (100+ books) lending library, nice selection of "old timey" candy, small breakfast sandwich menu, coffees AND Thrifty's ice cream! Love love love everything about this place. Limited indoor seating if needed. read more

Excellent coffee. That's what's important in life: fresh and strong at all hours of the day. Great, personable service, as well! If they had a large sign advertising their coffee, they'd be packed. Super like!!! read more

Love this little place! Thrifty Icecream flavors, coffee, shaved ice snow cones, dessert treats... everything is so good. Kids love the stranger things Icecream sundae. Also has a cute little retail section and book lending library. Staff are always so nice and welcoming. read more

This little gem of the desert is a must stop! I was going camping out by Indian Cove and stop for some ice cream; BEST DECISION EVER! The employees were such darlings and they answered all my questions. The shop itself has cute decor and little souvenirs you could purchase. They had FIRE vegan ice cream!($4 a scoop for vegan) The salted caramel one really hit home. And for $4.80 for 3 scoops you honestly can't go wrong! read more

I have been here a handful of times and I do love it, but this is the first time I'm writing a review I think. The view tonight was spectacular and a sweet little lizard friend. Bid me a do. You can come here for the ice cream, but don't forget the coffee! The young man just made me an incredible drink with half Decaf and it is exactly what I wanted. Completely hits the spot after a long work week. The young woman who worked there was equally helpful and extra friendly. I got two delicious looking baked snickerdoodle cookies that I can't wait to eat and share at home. This will be the perfect end to a pretty decent week. Come for the coffee! Stay for some ice cream stickers patches and what have you Plus always top-notch Customer Service!! read more

We ordered 2 coffees. The sweet cream and the salted caramel both of them have zero flavor. They gave us iced espresso basically. My girlfriend asked if she could have her small water bottle filled the lady said yes then offered to fill with ice then proceeded to change for the water. read more

The best date shake anywhere!!!!! And not too sweet. Hilarious stickers to check out while your shake is being made.

Always amazing! Great service and really creative shakes and coffee treats. It's my go-to for ice cream!

Everything. They have a fall menu for coffee drinks. Delicious. And the owner Alex is the best ever

Cute place, hard to find. I went for a date shake and they used date syrup instead of dates. Disappointing. read more

This ice cream is A-OK but I wouldn't say its anything special. Good frapes. Date shake used date syrup and was tasty!

This place is super cool. We stopped in here last week after dinner next door and chatted it up with a lady who I assume is the owner. She was very nice and told us all about the place. This is a great little shop. They've obviously got ice cream, but there is all kinds of other cool stuff here from vintage candy and craft sodas to banana splits and shaved ice. They also make their own pies and have a mean cup of coffee. If you are in the area, you definitely have to pop in and show some love to this place. It's kind of hidden from the main road behind Dillon's burgers and beer. Dinner at Dillon's and dessert at Coyote Cone make for a good evening. Enjoy! read more

I was in my way to Joshua Tree,California and saw The Coyote Cone's sign and stopped in for a great hand scooped cone of ice cream! What a neat place! They feature lots of great ice cream flavors,root beer floats,old school vintage soda pop in bottles and cool vintage brand candies! The server was very friendly and shared a little about how The Coyote Cone got started. You can eat your treat inside and sit on their really cool real saddle seats at the fun chalkboard for scribbles and giggles! Plenty of free parking! . . . . #thecoyotecone #waynesalvatti #seetheusa #icecream #morongovalley #iloveicecream #rootbeerfloats #haveascoop #vanilla #chocolate #handscoopedicecream #saddles #chalkboard #family #seniors #instamorongovalley #photografxworldwide #californiadreamin #californiadreaming #deserthighways #getascoop read more

The best coffee in town in fact the high dez. Frontier, Joshua Tree Coffee meh, this place has great coffee, creative lattes like the Red Dog (creation by co-owner Alex) cayenne, brown sugar, milk of choice. It's literally so stimulating that I can get a lot accomplished after drinking a cup. Aside coffee they have ice cream, the best date shake in the high dez if not the only one, homemade waffle cones (not GF), a variety of old school candy, homemade candy apples, Rice Krispies, but what I love the most is the shaved ice with lavender syrup! Now they have Nacho Mondays! Great place, the owners Shawna and Alex are the sweet folks and long time locals with a passion outside of all things sweet, but for the community! I met Shawna when I threw out a post looking for help to help haul out an illegal dumping in our community! She has won my sweet tooth and heart. They do have plant based milks for coffee and soon for ice cream! read more

Everything about this little ice cream joint is there shakes are amazing. The ice cream is really good. The service is fantastic. It's amazing for kids because there's some thing for them to do while you eat ice cream. The one thing my kids actually get a kick out of is that the skin change color when you eat the ice cream that part always makes them smile. read more

I know it's an ice cream shop & don't get me wrong, I love their chocolate malts with banana & root beer floats & the wife's all about the vanilla lattes with an add shot, but, that said, their Sausage biscuits & gravy are the best I've had & I'm an uprooted Kentucky boy so I know my b&g. Seriously, you can see the sausage, you can smell the sausage & you can taste the sausage. This is NOT the tasteless white paste that so many restaurants call b&g! This 99% delicious! Why not 100%? It's only available on Saturday & Sunday & they do run out. Be warned..the early bird gets the gravy & if you're waiting for me you're backing up! As they say in the Marines, "GET SOME!" read more

This was the only place I could find both normal ice cream and vegan ice cream for a reasonable price! Also, service was super friendly!

Delicious ice cream and milkshakes. We come for the atmosphere. The kids love to sit at the tables to enjoy their ice cream. All of the employees have been really nice as well. read more

Wanted to like this place so much! Butttt... first we ordered shaved ice which were cool however we paid an extra dollar for the sweet cream which they really skimped on. :/ considering you must pay extra for this I was hoping they would be a little more generous. Anyway the two women behind the counter were nice enough but it was dead silent no music, no talking just awkward silence. It made us feel very uncomfortable & it gave the place a really weird vibe. Maybe play some tunes next time, doesn't have to be loud but enough so that people can enjoy the atmosphere a little better. read more

Small ice cream shop but the aesthetic was cool. The ice cream was subpar, nothing "out of this world" but if you're an ice cream craver like myself, then you'd like this spot if you're in the local area. The ice coffee I got was awesome. I was skeptical at first but once I tasted it, I was surprised by how good it was. read more

Had the most watery milkshake of my life and it was fairly small inside. And the smoothie was weirdly chalky

Perfect spot! Great ice cream! Lovely staff!! Clean!! You can even sit in a real saddle, if you choose. They are open from 6 AM to 9 PM Monday through Saturday and 8 AM to 9 PM on Sunday. They serve breakfast sandwiches, ice cream, coffee, tea, all kinds of yummy things. read more
