“Delicious! Great environment and friendly staff. Not too expensive either. Clean and lots of options. Very good!“

“Yum, yum, yum. Very nice place with great flavors. I can really recommend mango, chocolate and salted caramel pretzel. Large menu with toppings and good stuff.Place is extremely clean and neat. No background music (but tv was on in the kids corner) so it feels a bit "empty".But over all a great place and we are definitely coming back.“

“If you're looking for cheap, average ice cream, feel free to buy ice cream from your local super market, but if you want expensive, average ice cream that you can customize into a potentially amazing ice cream, Cold Stones is the spot for you! And if your creation tastes terrible, you only have yourself to blame.My girlfriend and I got the mint ice cream with chocolate chips and it was solid, especially since it was so hot that day. We took our ice cream to-go since there wasn't much space inside and packed with customers, but you can also call their phone number to skip the line.“

“We came here and there was already a line waiting out the door. When we got to the front, there were a bunch of samples to choose from. Everything looked really good. I sampled the Panna Cotta and it was light, smooth, creamy, and sweet but not too sweet. I was very surprised actually at how much I liked it. I already had my two flavors in my mind, but I would definitely come back to try a scoop of that and an affogato.

I got a scoop of Espresso and Tiramisu in a cup with a waffle cone on top. Both flavors were absolutely delicious. I loved the texture of the gelato, it was so creamy. Prices were a little steep, but the quality is undeniable. I'd definitely come back to try more of their flavors.

Service was good, it was busy with just two of them there serving a bunch of families in line. But they were very helpful and pleasant. I can't wait to swing by again when I'm back in the area.“

“Best Homemade Ice Cream ever!

I had the chance to experience Handels in San Diego. This was my first taste of Handels. Their homemade flavors were interesting and different while still being delicious.

I thought today, being a relatively hot day, would be a good time to try the Handels here in Palm Desert. I ordered the Banana Split. This can feed a family of four, or one really hungry person (that was me). I ordered it traditional, with chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ice-creams. The bananas are sliced, which makes it easier to eat. Loved all the toppings (hot fudge, chopped cherries, crushed pineapple, strawberries and the chopped peanuts. And of course, the whipped cream and cherries on top! You can taste the ice-cream is homemade. Not only is it very flavorful, but also rich and creamy.

I liked that this location provides water misters on their patio, since it's only a walk up place. Very clean and a good amount of seating.

The staff are super friendly and the service was fast.

Definitely making this a regular thing!“

“I love this Lappert's! They have incredible flavors and the most helpful staff! I love to come here with friends and family for a nice sweet treat! Its local, friendly, and definitely delicious!
My favorite flavor is all of them because they are all so creative and are so unique! I would 100% recommend going here!“

“OMG, if any of you like banana cream pie, you gotta try their Southern banana putting handcrafted frozen custard it is so delicious and they’re so sweet and kind here at Ontario Mills mall right in front of AMC movie theater🥰🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“Has great ice cream—rich, creamy, and exactly what you expect from Handel’s. Portions are generous and the customer service is decent. The only downside is that this location doesn’t offer samples, even though other Handel’s locations do, which makes choosing flavors harder. Still a solid spot and worth stopping by“

“I was looking for things to try around town and found this place that boasts Date Shakes stating a must try while in town. I got one and it was good, not as thick as I was hoping but good flavor. However, on the sign I see they offer Mangonadas, one of my favorite drinks but also a Pinada; a Pineapple version with Dole whip. Now that is a must try. It's my new favorite drink. It's a great mix of sweet, sour and a bit of heat. Yummy. I also like the sprayers outside thir door to cool you off. A nice touch.“

“Fun place, the employee was great, as we went right before closing time. He didn’t rush us at all and was very nice! The yogurt was great and they had a lot of toppings.“

“Darla has the absolute best customer service EVER. She is excellent at helping her customers find the perfectly suited ice cream flavor for every individual and makes the entire experience so fun! I highly recommend this store because of her specifically.“

“My first time at crumbl and it was very pleasant experience thanks to Adrian in palm desert my kids have been really excited to try it and as soon as we walked in he greeted us with a smile he was very helpful and had excellent customer service definitely will be coming back cookies were really good 😊 👍“

“I just tried this place last week as I am staying in Palm Springs for a month. I loved the sandwiches! I might go back today to explore more of their food, and buying some of their awesome Vegan shirts and merch!“

“Riquísimas tortas de pierna biónico Elote en baso“

There ingredients are excellent and they have many options to choose from. I will definitely come back often. I brought my grandmother here and she thought there ice cream was excellent and it is her favorite now.“

“Absolutley Yeahhhhh. Great breakfast. Friendly people“

“Very good, they only need a variety of Dulce de tamarind for the mangoneadas like Chaka Chaka pulparindo chamoy but I was impressed with the coconut one. Very good!!….second time today, very delicious. The owners are very good people, thank you“

“They are the #1 for me . I had a problem with my order to come to me cross country it was all apart the topping right off the Toffee. I sent an email and finally after a month Claudia replied called me on phone plus email . I spoke with Claudia and she made things right by me and was very apologetic. She sent me my whole order and a gift of their chocolate almond toffee popcorn . With that said I want to say the toffee was amazing everything was put together with nothing coming off . I want to say thank you so much . I’m one happy customer ❤️ They back up their product which is a plus . Once again Thankyou so much Claudia .“

“todo lo que venden es riquísimo preparado por mi camarada Don Juan 🖤🤘“

“Stopped at Shields today. We had breakfast, followed by a walk around the gardens. So many trees had fruit on them, just going to waste. Signs all over saying "don't pick the fruit." Instead of letting the fruit rot on the trees, why not pick the fruit to sell or even donate to a food pantry? I was saddened seeing all the fruit going to waste.“

“Great ice cream place me and my family really like it thanks“

“I love their rsspados. Yummy.😋😋😋😋“

“This place has the best water I have ever tasted! There filtration system is amazing and makes a difference I never thought a filtration system could…
The staff treats you like family with a big smile and genuine loving energy. The ice cream is out of this world!
If you haven’t tried this place it’s a must!!!“

“A Friendly Place With Good Customer Service and everything made fresh 💯👌😋“

“Love this place and would eat daily if ice cream had the calories of salad. But sadly it is not. Took the family out tonight and was as great as always. My wife had cheesecake with graham crackers, I had the blueberry muffin (oh my god) in a waffle dish, while my daughter had a waffle cone with Oreo cream. Love having this place in our neighborhood.“
