Sandwiches stacked double decker and filled with fresh cut meat on rye bread. I was in shock seeing the portions because they are extremely generous.
Delicate fresh cakes and pastries line the glass displays inside and their corned beef & pastrami is worth a trip from anywhere in the area.

Sky-high blue cookies and cream milkshakes stuffed with sour gummy straws and topped with full cotton candy sticks. Yes, that’s all in one shake.
Do not come here on a diet. With an absurd number of soft serve choices from the classics to exotics such as Dole’s infamous pineapple flavor you will not be disappointed. More candy, sprinkles, chocolate and colors than you can ever imagine will keep your sweet tooth coming back.

With an “Amazon-esque” feel to the back patio and small waterfalls flowing surrounding your table this spot is an oasis. Heartily filled burritos and flavorful rice and beans mark the top notch Spanish cuisine here.
They also have ribs, shrimp tacos and fajitas galore. A vibrant and colorful ambiance and amazing staff, this spot is well worth a visit right in the middle of Palm Springs.

Stellar toffee and coffee concoctions so good that it’s all they sell. Their precision with the flavor is worth a stop in and this spot is co-signed by Martha Stewart, Oprah, Barack Obama and more.
The origin of the company is also extremely interesting so make sure you read up on it! From ice cream bars to almonds and popcorn the recipe is so distinct that they don’t need multiple flavors to get your attention.

Whole chicken, half chicken, chicken sandwich to an oven-roasted “chicken BLT” and steaming mac and cheese. Stop here to get your chicken fix. Everything is locally sourced and the fresh & light feel of the flavorful meals is a highlight.
Make sure to try their fresh drinks as well and happy hour. You can’t miss the red and white signs driving by!
Kreem Ice cream •
Cost: $
Ambiance: Grab & go style ice cream bar.
Lemon Meringue Pie can only get better if it’s in ice cream form and yes, they did that here so try to get it before it sells out! In-house ice cream creations from Ube to coconut latte are created fresh in small batches here.
With an insanely savory selection every dessert lover will be in paradise here. There are more than enough full bodied options to satisfy all.
Gabino’s creperie •
Cost: $$
Ambiance: Pickup window grab and go lunch vibe.

An extremely small family ran spot that specializes in top-tier crepes made fresher than fresh for each order. From chicken to savory sweetness, the options are consistent and worth a shot.
I highly recommend dropping by here and getting a taste of their light, fluffy and warm crepes in the quiet alley, almost arms reach away from Kreem.
Aziz farms (date farm)
A legendary glimpse into Coachella valley and their unstoppable momentum producing top quality dates. Due to the climate they are able to pump out dates by the pound in a hand selected process ensuring top quality results.
Dates are a dietary and health amplifier that are used by triathlete’s and more to bring exceptional amounts of energy and fiber.
