Great stop amazing shakes
Fun place to stop, shop & get a date shake!
Love the food,specially the waffle menu!!
Over 100 years in business. The original owner created a couple of his own varieties of dates. Also created date crystals. The place is amazing. Don't miss it if you enjoy high quality dates. Date shakes are delicious, too.
Weird place. They boast a garden walk, I assumed this was a walk through the palm groves but it’s not. It’s a walk around a pond with a few biblical statues dotted around. Seems like they’re trying to replicate a Middle East experience without much knowledge of the Middle East…
The shop is nice and they sell a wide variety of dates and some other fresh fruit like lemons and grapefruit. The Majdool dates were excellent!
It’s a shame they don’t offer a non-dairy option for the date shake.
Our first time visiting. Nice place to visit with the family. The biblical statutes are very interesting and worth the visit.
For the date shake go here. It is the best and we tried them all. Train for it, try to suck thick mud through a straw.
You will love it.
A little pricey but a fun pitstop. The date shake was delicious! Interesting to stroll around.
This review is strictly the attraction and not the food cause we didn’t try anything. However the shakes were definitely a hit with the other visitors, I did overhear a few saying they were really sweet.
Ok the main part, the “walk” was completely in disarray parts were blocked off. It looks like they haven’t done any maintenance in years. Or they are getting ready to completely redo the entire place. Either way is was a joke. If you are in the area and want to waste some time this is the place. Don’t drive any distance to see it. Staff was nice and the restaurant out back looked very nice but nobody was there.
Delicious date shakes! Great walking garden. Looks like some of it was under construction. Would recommend!!!

This was my 3rd visit and it has gone downhill. It was so pretty before. There were closed sidewalks and cut down trees and cotton fruit. I was telling my friend how pretty it was and we took a spendy Lyft ride there only to be disappointed. She did enjoy the date shake.
Worth visiting. Fun connection to the desert's past. Date shakes are great, restaurant is nice. The whole facility is very clean and well maintained.
Thought their shakes were the best in valley. Nice ice cream. Loved the date crystals. Very friendly. A gardener outside helped us see the walk with the stations of the cross. Lot of potential there and hope they get it all cleaned up. We bought shakes, date crystals, and date syrup and one of each date to try. Can’t beat the medjool but never realized so many kinds.
Stopped for their original date shake and a walk around their gardens. Their shake is a single size for ~$10 (cash, a bit more with credit). Really good shake and quite heavy actually when you're handed it; quite too thick for a straw but we waited till it melted slightly. During the walk some areas appear to be under restoration and are a bit sparse with cleared palm trees, but the walk itself was nice especially ending around the small lake.
Wonderful garden to walk around and sit on a bench by the pond. Date icecream is excellent. Did not have date shake since it is too expensive $10! Tried their medjool and barhi dates
