13 Best Ice Cream Shops in Palm Desert

“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“

“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!“

“I stopped at the one by the outlets at Orange and talked to a lovely lady named Madison. She was very helpful and educated. She suggested the Salted Caramel, it was delicious! I’ll be recommending it to everyone. It has milk chocolate covered almonds in it and a nice caramel drizzle!! 😋🍨“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😊 👍“

“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.“

“The team was super professional and friendly. I even posed a challenge with my online order, wanting to redeem a voucher for a free shack burger and each person got involved because it wasn’t busy, and made sure that I got my situation resolved and I was able to pick up my excellent shack burger along with what I ordered. Honestly, the entire team was great. Everybody has a positive attitude, nobody acting like it was a big imposition to try and help out. Completely rare in this day and age, and I really appreciate that kind of service, regardless of where I go when a team makes over and above effort. If I could eat every day at this, Shake Shack, I would.“
