Downtown Palm Springs Style and Visiting Great Shakes
Nothing like leaving one heat wave for an even hotter heat wave in Palm Springs! But hey, I’m grateful for a quick summer getaway. We stayed within walking distance of all the restaurants and shops in Downtown Palm Springs so naturally we spent all of our time up and down Palm Center drive. One of the days after lunch, Scott was craving dessert, so we stopped by Great Shakes and we shared a White Chocolate Cherry shake. It was delish! Alongside a variety of shakes, there are also malts, floats, sodas and fruit infusion beverages. There’s a fun, retro vibe in there and the staff are friendly. Afterwards we spent the late afternoon lounging by the pool. The maxi dress and espadrille flats I got awhile back, and it paired perfectly with the rimless sunglasses from ZeroUV.

ABOUT GREAT SHAKES
Great Shakes is family-owned and operated by the Nelson family. We opened our first shop on Palm Canyon Drive on the Palm Springs "strip" in April 2013. Our mission remains as it was then - make the world's best gourmet shakes, malts, floats and fruit infusions coupled with extraordinary customer service and a fun, welcoming environment.
We use our customized soft serve ice cream machine to bring our ice cream to the perfect temperature and consistency for an amazingly, rich and melty taste, perfect mouth feel and texture. Because we produce our ice cream at the perfect temperature, we have no need to add milk and blend it. You get an all ice cream shake or malt, not ice milk!
In order to make certain all of our customers get to enjoy the world's best shakes and malts, we have developed the only lactose free base great enough for a Great Shake!
