Andrea Q.

Stopped by for some ice cream, the ladies for so Friendly! We were extremely indecisive and they kindly encouraged us try multiple samples. The hospitality was memorable. I will be back when I'm in the area!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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. Lil gem

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.

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!

Parking area, Front of store. Don't miss it!

They also have a variety of candy and souvenirs. Make sure to take a picture on the saddle seats located inside. Plus the customer service is great!!!

If you're driving along the highway there would be other options around. Coffee was watery unfortunately so it didn't give us that caffeinated feel we wanted. Bagels were tasty though. We did also happen to be there at a time where the owner was talking politics about worker laws and how to go around and pay their employees less and that was an interesting choice to start talking aloud the small coffee shop. read more

Bahama Bucks, the last of its name in Southern California, is, on my opinion, the best shaved ice place. Period. Been to multiple locations on Oahu and Maui as well, and I'll still take Bahama Bucks.

And with a plethora of flavorings, and the it's I've tried (Cherry, Strawberry, Mango, Pink Lemonade, Tigers Blood), it just transforms into this luscious dessert. There are also around five different sizes you can get. The small is a good size for I've person, though the regular will be here if you're hungry. Bigger than that and it is made for two people.

They were so generous with their portions for a surprisingly low price. I ordered a banana split back then, and they doubled every single scoop! On top of that, the ice cream quality is fantastic; it holds up great and doesn't melt into a soup right away. When I heard they opened a location right here in Redlands, CA, I knew we had to go check it out. The Redlands store did not disappoint! The tropical vibes inside are super fun, and the ice cream and treats are just as incredible as I remembered. We grabbed a loaded banana split and a Dole Whip dessert. This was our experience there: https://youtu.be/70kBbH4qrxg?si=Eor-KcPbmZIphZy1

The menu choices are amazing; there is something for everyone. Whether you prefer simple ice cream in a cup, in a cone, fruit bowl, Dole Whip, milkshakes or smoothies. They got it all. Staffs are friendly and not stingy about samples. A bonus, they have a cockapoo behind the counter ready to greet you. Seating areas are spacious and clean. They also have a few small tables in front of the store if you prefer outside seating. When they ask if you want to sign up for the reward program, say Yes. Because you will want to come back for MORE!

I was genuinely disappointed by my recent visit to The Coyote Cone. I ordered their date milkshake expecting the rich, natural flavor that makes date shakes such a Southwest classic. Instead, what I received tasted like a basic scoop of inexpensive ice cream with only a faint hint of date flavor. The shake seemed to rely on a very small amount of date concentrate rather than real, blended dates, and the result was thin and bland. At nearly $9, it felt overpriced for what was essentially a low-quality milkshake. For comparison, anyone who has tried a proper date shake in Dateland, Arizona knows how creamy, flavorful, and generous they can be. The difference is striking. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling that the product did not justify the price. I would not return for another shake, and I cannot recommend it to others looking for an authentic date milkshake experience. read more

Such a great little spot! The coffee is always fresh and tastes amazing, can tell they really care about quality. Their ice cream selection is seriously impressive too. So many flavors to choose from, whether you're craving something classic or want to try something new. It's honestly hard to pick just one! I love their candy selection and fun stickers and niknacks! The whole place just has a really welcoming, feel good vibe. Definitely one of my favorite go to spots for coffee or a sweet treat. Highly recommend checking it out if you live close by or are passing through!!! read more

Best Coffee in all of Joshua Tree & surrounding areas. A must stop for breakfast on the go (great breakfast sandwiches w/ plenty of options), good size portions and they also ice creams & shakes and specialty coffee, you can't beat this place! The owner also is so nice and welcoming and all of the staff have been friendly and helpful. We now make this our regular stop heading into and out of town. read more

Yah I was a suckered, bought the kids some fun trinkets they had displayed as you go through the line. Everyone was happy except the mom I came with... the kids drank her shake after they said they never had a shake and could they taste. Turns out the kids like shakes! We also grabbed chips to pair with our ice-cream. The kids said dip the chips. So over all this spot has it all. Chips, trinkets, soda pop, ice-cream! There are a couple tables to sit at. Or sit in your car with the ac up so your ice-cream doesn't melt. Either way it wont make it home. Not too cool/ hipster vibes either.

Came for the matcha and selected the seasonal Iced Passion Fruit Matcha $9. Not sweet which I don't mind. There's self serve simple syrup available if you need. Would come back again to try more of the pastries and interested to see what other seasonal matcha they create. Our first experience at Nice Dream was dinner on a Thursday night. Reservation requests are available on their website with seating starting at 6pm. We showed up a little before 6pm with no reservation and were able to get a table. The menu is small and recommend sharing plates. Highly recommend if you like Japanese/seafood. Their bar, Sugar Water, has a unique menu and a creative selection of NA drinks. The whole vibe was perfect for a chill date night. We ordered the Oysters $30 half dozen (interesting basil sorbet to top as desired), Crudo $25 (my personal favorite of the night with a Thai basil coconut cream, 10/10 chefs kiss), a few of the handrolls $7 each (selection of 4, rolled like cigars, loved the yuzu yellowtail and the umeboshi - but you have to love ume to like this), Cod Collar $21 (comes with 3 pieces, buttery, melts in your mouth, watch out for the bones), and the rice hugger $21 (silken tofu and sesame rice, the only vegetarian option). Dessert selection was a raspberry chocolate cake $14 (it was the chef's birthday the night we went, decadent cake with a solid crunch cornflake crust, moist chocolate cake, layer of chocolate mousse and topped with fresh raspberry). The ice cream selection was delicious and would recommend anytime of day. The flavors are all vegan, creamy and yummy - we tried the matcha strawberry and vanilla bean (affogato available). Service was great during breakfast/quick service and dinner/full service. Location was previously four different businesses, incredible how they've transformed the space into a light, airy, open space with tons of natural light. Parking is right behind the building and not large so could see it filling up fast on the weekends.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It was clean, just a little outdated. I particularly loved the framed kitten art on the walls. I kept looking around for more to keep me entertained. I ordered Eggs Benedict. It was average. The Hollandiase sauce tasted like it came from a can. Again, not a bad thing, but if you wanted to step up your game, making it fresh wouldn't be a bad idea. Spouse orders pancakes where ever we go. They said they were a little dry and not their favorite. Coffee was also average. The creamers on the table seemed hard to come by. If I were in town again, I might try them for lunch and see if that's any better. We had a good time in Yucca Valley. C&S Coffee Shop is just average.

I honestly don't think I've made a single desert trip without stopping in at least once. Part of it is the location. Acme 62 and Hoof + Horn are both literally right next door and both great for gifts that say "I went to the desert" without going full souvenir shop. Pioneer Crossing Antiques is also nearby and was sadly closed this Wednesday, but I normally stop in whenever it's open. The proprietors are awesome and I always find something unique to take home. Food-wise, the lox bagel was a standout. Great ratio of cream cheese, capers, dill, thin-shaved red onion, plus a little side salad of arugula and radish that actually tasted fresh instead of feeling like decoration. The yogurt parfait was small but mighty, layered with berries and granola and substantial enough to feel like breakfast. Easy seating, dog friendly, and plenty of sandwiches and salads if you're not in a bagel mood. Tasty, fresh, quick, and just enough "we did something" energy before heading back to the Airbnb to relax and beat the heat.

The turkey, while good, wasn't freshly carved, which took a little away from the "special" feel. And while the breakfast sando was light and all alone on the plate, the way the mayo fused the flavors together was delicious. But I do wish the beverage fridge had prices listed so I wasn't surprised at the register. The restaurant, while it's a bit tricky to find on the side of a building, inside is a modern space. It's spotless and very clean. The aesthetic is minimalist and if it were just you, it could feel a bit cold, if not for the steady buzz of activity behind the counter. There were three staff members who moved swiftly. As I watched I was impressed with their efficiency as the kept things running smoothly. When we entered an hour before closing, we made the mistake to sit and pause to look over the menu. It was a mistake because it seemed like the front door kept swinging open as wave after wave of hungry visitors poured in. My guess is these folks were all returning from Joshua Tree National Park. In fact, it felt like nearly everyone there had just come from the park. The business concept appears thoughtfully geared toward travelers, particularly those with a bit of disposable income and a discerning palate. Overall, this is a certified foodie stop: quality over quantity: taste over filling up.
