“Awesome ice cream very light ice cream with the air taken out of it“

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

“My favorite ice cream is praline 🍦💓“

“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.“

“Came here after a steak dinner for dessert and there was one kid working alone with a line.

Ice cream was delightful and the brownies in founder's favorite was yummy and not stale.

Place was somewhat clean but in betweem serving and creating different ice creams could of used better scraping on the stone. Aside from getting some straggler sprinkles that i did not krder in my ice cream service was great. He was fast and friendly but probably could use some help. Take a hint management.

Probably was there for like 15-20 minutes total due to waiting just under $10 for an ice cream that's not a pint is wild but that's the economy.“

“I loved this place. My wife and I enjoyed a date day today, and this was one of the stops that helped make it a great experience.

The quality of the gelato is on point, the service is on point, and considering the location, quality, and what other places charge, I’d say this place is a hidden gem.

We had a freshly made waffle cone topped with strawberry and peach gelato, and it was excellent. The Mrs. had an affogato that she thoroughly enjoyed as well.

Too bad we didn’t take pictures—everything looked as good as it tasted. We’ll definitely be back!

“Great Place a PD Must 5 ⭐️xxx“

“Perfect Pint is a terrific custard shop! Unique flavors made fresh daily. Truly everything from the taste to the serving size is... well... perfect. I tried the Southern Banana Pudding and it was out of this world. The wafers on top were such an added bonus. I highly recommend them!“

“Grand scoop size, delicious taste!
Mint Chocolate chip & coffee chocolate chip in a waffle bowl is pure heaven. The pistachio has big full pistachios inside!
The service is impeccable…..
Our female scooper was quick & efficient with a wonderful & helpful personality!
Be ready for a line- but it’s worth it!“

“You know how there are places you wish were close to where you live and at the same time, wish they were further away?! This is one of them. Although I expect that if there was one near where I live, I hope I'd be able to exercise a little self control.
The ice cream here is so fresh and delicious, it's hard to describe. For instance, their coffee ice cream tastes like pure coffee as opposed to coffee flavoring. The same goes for all of their flavors.
It appears that there are only 6 locations on the West Coast and 3 of them are in Palm Springs/Palm Desert. Nothing on the East Coast.
There are locations in Hawaii as that is where this ice cream eminated from. That's also where I first had this amazing delicacy.
If you have the good fortune of coming across one of the stores, I obviously highly recommend it.“

“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!“

“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 came in with my Husband and Daughter and we were helped by Annemarie! We had come in before and my Husband had left a comment on how amazing Annemarie is! I wanted to comment as well because of how truly caring Annemarie is!
She remembered our daughter and let her retry all the flavors JUST to make sure! My daughter started calling her Queen IceCream because of how caring she is with everyone there! Our little family has never felt so welcomed and cared for! Anytime we stop at the River with our daughter we have to stop by the Ben and Jerry’s to see Annemarie!!“

“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.“

“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“

“We were looking for a sweet treat, did a quick search, and ended up here—and we’re so glad we did. The menu is simple and focused entirely on raspados, and they truly specialize in them. The flavors were delicious, and the texture of the ice was perfect—every bite was packed with flavor.

The owners were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient, which made the experience even better. If you’re in the area and craving something refreshing, this spot is definitely worth a visit.“

“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 .“

“So excited that this has arrived to PD! Went the other night as I was about to pick up my pizza next door. I ordered ice creams, strawberries & cream, and tostilocos! It was ALL delicious 🤤 I don’t have to drive to Indio any longer!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Riquísimas tortas de pierna biónico Elote en baso“

“The Best“

“Best chocolate ice cream I have ever had!!“

“I went here for my birthday and it was amazing! I got to pick anything I wanted to put in my ice cream and it was free because I was a member. 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.“

“We’ve been filling our water bottles at Agua Pura and it’s been a great experience every time. The owner is incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely cares about the customers. The prices are excellent, and the value is hard to beat.

What I appreciate most is that Agua Pura feels like a true neighborhood business where people still value community and personal service. That’s something that seems harder to find these days. Supporting small businesses like this matters because they offer something the big chains can’t, …heart. Highly recommend!“

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