We went for the date shakes. Excellent! Ended up buying eggs, red and green peppers, too. Nice market with excellent date shakes, and ice cream. Other deli food, daily specials available. If you blink, you might miss it. There is a patio in the back....It was windy the day we were there, so did not go back there. Limited parking out front.More
The BEST and ONLY real date shake in Coachella! Don't settle for Shield's ice-milk date-syrup shakes--ice-milk is no comparison to a date shake made with delicious ice cream! The Windmill Market in Palm Springs is a gem❣️💛
The best date shake ever. They still do it the right way. We tried them when Shields Date farm went commercial and make their date shakes in soft serve machines. Just not the same. Windmill Market has been doing it right for 20 years. Loved...the vibe in market and backyard eating area. We'll be back and we'll spread the word about this little treasure.More
If you blink you'll miss it! My husband and I recently moved to Banning from Los Angeles, and we came across this gem on one of our dates to the Windmill Farm in Palm Springs. This quaint, little place has the best lasagna! You can...tell it's authentic with one bite. The owner/chef puts so much love and time into preparing lunch for his guests. He makes you feel right at home with an outdoor seating area that reminds you of sitting in a little backyard with a nostalgic ambiance that relaxes you for good conversation. The employees at the front counter offer great customer service, the prices are reasonable, and the date shakes are the absolute best! We'll definitely return.More
Little hole in wall place. Doesn’t look like much of place. Great sandwiches. Large selection of prepared that’s you take to go or eat at their patio which nice. I’d eat there again and again.
Love this place A motorcycle ride to North Palm Springs a stop at Windmill for bomb chili dog and a date shake. Go out the back door to the little private sanctuary with plants and tables very intimate. A great place to stop for quick...respite.More
This unassuming place has the best date shakes around and their outdoor patio is the perfect place to sit and relax. In addition to great shakes they offer made-to-order deli style food, street style tacos, and have a diverse selection of daily specials.
We have been coming to the desert since we were kids. First time to Windmills. We will be back!!! Great date shakes and great prices in fresh dates too.
We absolutely love this place. The food is beyond great and the milk shakes, oh my my! The tacos are excellent! The daily specials are phenomenal! And the staff is really nice. We were in Palm Springs for 3 weeks and went there at least...every other day.More
Date Shakes and Malts are a local delicacy you must have. I’ve always enjoyed malts (while my friends liked ice cream more) but this is a unique flavor. We have had a timeshare here for over 20 years, and each time we come we stop...by the Windmill for their date shake. RICH, FLAVORFUL, LOTS OF DATES AT THE BOTTOM. Don’t miss this. There are not too many things in the desert that most tourists have not seen before, but THIS IS ONE OF THEM. A lot of them are not as good as this!More
we have gone to this market a few times now. The owner already recognizes us and goes out of his way to be friendly and happy!! The shakes are to die for and they have a great menu!!
We stopped by for a date shake and bought some dates as well. There is a garden to sit out back to enjoy food. Very friendly.
We saw on their website that they had low cost lunch specials and outdoor seating, so we decided to check it out. Their pot roast meal was amazing. Plentiful. Full of flavor vegetables as well as the beef roast, which was so tender the roast...fell apart. It was moist and delicious. It was served with 2 small soft dinner rolls and butter. A side vegetable of corn &/or green beans completed the meal. The outside garden setting was COVID spacious. Their dates are reasonably priced and their date shakes are rich and yummy. You definitely get value for your money.More
Stopped by here after our tour of the nearby wind turbines. The staff was friendly, bathrooms very clean. We enjoyed date shakes on the patio in the back, and were greeted by Snowball, the resident cat.
Date shakes are a big thing around Palm Springs. There are some well known places on the tourist circuit to try one, but if you’re looking for a small, off the beaten path place that makes their shakes with actual dates and not date crystals...(dried flakes) head to the Windmill Market about 6-7 miles north of downtown Palm Springs. My wife and I visited in April 2019. One of the first things we did upon our return to town this year was to head back to the Windmill Market for another Date Shake. We don’t even like dates, but these shakes are fantastic, tasty and refreshing. The Windmill Market’s staff is super friendly which adds to the overall experience. The market’s quiet backyard also features seating with umbrellas making it an oasis of tranquility in the desert to have a frozen refreshment.More
