12 Best Ice Cream Shops in Palm Springs

“We had a fantastic few day stay at La Serena. The rooms are large, nicely decorated and welcoming. The bathrooms are huge. We had an outdoor spa that we did not use, so no insights there. The location is great - walk to everything with plenty of great restaurants nearby. The breakfast (which was included) was very good, and we had excellent dinner and drinks at the restaurant one evening. The pool was really nice. My only complaint would be that there is not enough seating/lounges for guests. On one day at least two sets of lounges were marked reserved but no one was using them when we walked by the pool earlier and then returned to swim several hours later. So we had no seats while they sat open for more than an hour. At this price you should be able to fully use the pool.“

“Couldn’t have asked for a better vendor at our wedding!! My husband and I had Gelato Granucci at our Palm Springs wedding and every single guest fell in love! It was the cutest set up and every guest raved about how great the gelato was and how kind they were during the whole process!! If you are looking for a pop up gelato vendor at your wedding, we highly recommend them! 10/10“

“Shakes are OMG!! You must go here for a little indulgence.“

“It's a bit small for my liking but otherwise the staff was helpful to us in making decisions. We tried the famous date shake and it was good.
We also tried a Hawaiian Sunday where the scoop of ice cream is covered in sno cone and sweet condensed milk. That was interesting.“

“Amazing flavor choices and delicious cookies!“

“Vegan options for those who are plant based / vegan.“

“Toffee? YES PLEASE! The Brandini Bar is the bomb. The cup is divine.“

“What a fun stop after dinner across the street at Sandfish! Props to them for the recommendation! Fun and unique flavors of ice cream with samples encouraged. We had the pomegranate, lavender and Coachella Valley Date. So YUM and great prices for homemade ice cream!“

“It may not seem like a big deal, but this is my first Sundae in over a dozen years. Lactose-free hot fudge sundae made with chocolate chip cookie dough frozen dessert!
The little things.
Considering it is an ice cream shop, however it was extremely hot. Atmosphere was such that I got into my car to enjoy it rather than sit in the business.

Vegetarian options: Multiple lactose-free options on site.

Dietary restrictions: Lactose-free!“

“Awesome date shakes. I cannot walk by without getting a vanilla or banana date shake!“

“Ordered for a Berry Berry Good . It was creamy one and loaded with berries- strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and vanilla ice cream. Would have loved it if the strawberries were mashed more as they were frozen. Overall a good experience“

“This place was a life saver of sorts to me. I am diabetic and when I went for my big fancy meal during my vacation to Palm Springs I happened upon this place. I of course am always drawn to chocolate but can't really eat any. I know that many places to provide sugar free options so I figured let me go in and at least check. Well, they have an ENTIRE counter int he back of sugar free chocolates. I ordered up plenty for the night (this would be my dessert later) and they were so good that I went back the next day before driving back up to Vegas and I stocked up, especially on the sugar-free almond bark. One thing for other diabetics though - be careful, even though this is ostensibly sugar free it did drive up my blood sugar more than I expect from sugar-free chocolates I get from other places. I'm not saying they are not truly sugar-free but sometimes things are marked sugar-free which have a little sugar or which use certain sugar alcohols which still spike blood sugars. STILL, to have some chocolate that tasted like normal, real, good chocolate and not worry about skyrocketing blood sugar this was excellent. I will keep this place in mind to visit on my future trips to the Springs.“
