Best Ice Cream in Palm Springs

When the days get hot... we start looking for a place to cool off-- these ice cream and yogurt shops will do the trick!


Cold Stone Creamery

155 S Palm Canyon Drive B-2 - Palm Springs
760-327-6892

Cold Stone Creamery makes its ice cream fresh every day in each and every store, then they bring it out front and let you choose what else you want in it to complete the "creation." It may be a little more expensive than other ice cream, but with a line out the door on Thursday nights during Villagefest, you might believe there's a reason for it.

Lappert's Ice Cream

Lappert's Ice Cream

130 N. Palm Canyon Drive - Palm Springs
760-778-3700

Lappert's, not to be confused with Lappert's Hawaii, offers about 30 ice cream flavors as well as sorbets, yogurts and smoothies. The company creates premium ice cream and coffee in Richmond, California. The shop in Palm Springs looks like your average ice cream shop with not much seating. The prices are about the same as the other shops on the street, but the cup sizes seem a bit smaller.

Ben and Jerry's

Ben and Jerry's

110 S Palm Canyon Drive - Palm Springs
760-778-7873

Ben and Jerry's in downtown Palm Springs serves up the same socially-responsible ice cream you've come to expect from the carton, only it tastes a tad better scooped up on a cone. Besides the mixed-up, whacky flavors we love, Ben and Jerry's also offers sugar-free choices and ice cream cakes.

Yogurt Island

Yogurt Island

78-447 Highway 111 - La Quinta

Yogurt Island boasts 21 rotating flavors and 50 toppings to choose from.

Yogurt on Tap

Yogurt on Tap

190 E Tahquitz Canyon Way - Palm Springs
760-699-7486

This colorful yogurt cafe is the perfect way to beat the heat here in the desert! Yogurt on Tap features a rotation of flavors where patrons are able create their own soft-serve concoctions, complete with just about every topping one can imagine. Pricing is based on weight 38 cents an ounce.

Yummi Yogurt

Yummi Yogurt

42414 Bob Hope Drive - Rancho Mirage
760-341-0900

Yummi Yogurt specializes in serving up some of the best frozen yogurt in town. With one of the biggest selections you've seen, there is sure to be a flavor you've never tried. There is even a selection for the more health conscience. Bring the whole family for a healthy, frozen treat!

Dippin Dots

Dippin Dots

79522 Hwy 111 Ste 5 - La Quinta
760-564-5955

Dippin Dots are the strangest food invention ever! Am I the only one who thinks that ice cream in little balls is unnatural? How do you scoop it?! What supernatural force is holding them together but keeping them from smooshing?! OK, sure, they taste out of this world, but I'm still really uncomfortable with the whole thing....

Cactusberry

Cactusberry

116 La Plaza - Palm Springs
760-325-3228

Cactusberry is known for it's guava-flavored frozen yogurt with granola topping. A 6 oz. cup will set you back about $3, but it's a pretty good deal for a chance to cool off in the desert.

Hawaiian Ice

Hawaiian Ice

67782 E. Palm Canyon Dr - Cathedral City
760- 321-5801

Hawaiian Ice is your place for fruity-flavored ice creams, sherbet smoothies and cream floats. Beat the desert heat with a guava flavored sorbet or bubblegum mango blended ice. Hawaiian Ice also features island-inspired gifts and trinkets.

Utopia Yogurt

57746 29 Palms Hwy - Yucca Valley
760-365-5900

Utopia is a build-your-own frozen yogurt bar. You can choose from 10 different flavors of yogurt over 30 different toppings. Perfect low-fat treat for the kids, nice enough to take your sweetheart on a date.
