★★★★★ 5.0 Spike · Feb 2026

Fantastic shakes! Everything our group got was amazing and what we had hopped it to be. The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The atmosphere for a shake shop hole in the wall is fantastic and it's obvious that a lot of effort went into crafting it. Well done.

★★★★★ 5.0 Checheng Lin · Dec 2025

I bought two shakes here and they were absolutely delicious. The flavor is very unique, like premium ice cream, but the best part is that they aren't "explosively" sweet like many other places. It’s the perfect balance. If you are in the area, you should definitely stop by and try one. Just a heads-up: it gets very busy, so be prepared to wait in line. It’s definitely worth the patience!

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Nakh · Oct 2025

This shake spot hit the spot. We were walking in the evening after dinner and wanted something cold and sweet. The inside is a vibe in its self. I love the atmosphere. It has a history of all the candy, cool lighting, posters of classic movies, a great selection of candy and more. We ordered two classic date shakes and they were delicious! They came with real dates and a small donut which was unique. The workers were quick and helpful.

We’ve been testing all the dates shakes in valley. Shields was our number one choice. Tied for second is windmill Market and Great shakes. Close third is Monster shakes and Lapperts. The differential appears to be quality of ice cream that goes into shakes—ingredients that are not natural leave after taste. Great shakes wins for presentation. Cute donut and fig on top and the walnuts were nice addition.

Best place to cool down when you're in Palm Springs. Expect to fall in line specially on weekends. Few tables inside the place. Staff are friendly and helpful.
