third time eating here, and the experience keeps getting better and better... from thedatepancakes, to the the salmon sandwich on sourdough, and everything in between, this cafe is the best in all of indio! maybe even the best in the eastern valley... eat here quickly! you're missing out if you haven't yet.

shieldsdategarden has been here since 1924. walk inside to the gift shop. they have an ice cream bar and make their famousdateshakes.
it's a fun tourist stop that is like stepping back in time.

the tasting bar has containers of sample pieces of theirdateand banana breads sprinkled with walnuts, pecans or almonds.

behind the store is the cafe. it serves breakfast from 7 am to 2:30 pm they offer omelets, steak and eggs and some mexican favorites that include chilaquiles.

they also make shieldsdatepancakes from scratch with organic eggs and flour, mixed withdatebutter and deglet boor dates on top.

our server jose was very nice. on the menu, lunch specials include chipotle crab cakes, a shields salad with deglet noor dates, dried cranberries, walnuts, pears, crumbled blue cheese and a house mango vinaigrette.

they also havedateburger with sautéed deglet noor dates with bacon and melted blue cheese.

we ordered a grilled turkey w/ melted pepper jack cheese on brioche bread. the side salad was enhanced with dates.

the chef was nice to make our daughter a veggie wrap. the fresh fruit was cut in large pieces.

the ice tea was my favorite unsweetened tropical tea. finish your meal with a vanilladateshake.

lot's of free parking in front and on the side. be sure to peek inside thedatetheater.

lots of fun in indio, california. i read about shields, i wanted to experience it for myself. the parking lot is huge. the gift/souvenir shop is huge. there are lots ofdatesamples. there is a theater showing a film about dates. our lunch on the patio was most pleasant. my half a shields salad was interesting: spinach, asian pear, mango, walnuts, blue cheese, dates and cranberries. barc had a perfectly prepared medium rare cheeseburger with salad. emily took excellent care of us. after lunch we walked through the gardens. it reminded me of the stations of the cross with several additions. it was a fun place to visit. we know a lot about growing dates....don't try it at home.

the weekend before we went to palm springs, jake and i went to the bacon fest at the fair. normally when i go to the fair i have a whole list of things i want to get, one of them being adateshake. well, if you remember that post then you’ll know i was not able to consume one other thing and was not able to get mydateshake. then i remembered that dates totally grow in the desert! and that i could probably get adateshake during our trip! and i was totally right. enter: shieldsdategarden in indio, ca. there’s no way you can miss shields with this giant solider in a suit of armor pointing out the way. this side of the building is pretty unassuming. the other side though has got this risque looking sign talking about the romance and sex life of dates. see what they did they? dates. heh heh. of course i had to go watch it. of course. you have to walk through the whole store (which sells a variety of sweets, snacks, and of course dates) to get to the little theater in the back. it’s a

an oasis of wonderful. the food was great, the service excellent and the environment was perfect. a breath taking view of the santa rosa mountians withdatepalms accenting the way and set off by a beautiful garden lake... a wonderful experience.

so glad our friends told us about this gem.

date-lover's dream. thedateshake was very good...thick and rich. our favorite was thedateburger. the meat was good quality and handmade. it wasn't a frozen patty. it was topped with dates and blue cheese. the blue cheese was on the mild side. my husband does not really care for blue cheese, but he liked the kind they used on this burger.it was amazing! i wanted to steal the homemade pickles off of everyone else's plates. the fries were really good too...nice and crispy. the restaurant was clean, confortable and pleasant. there was outdoor seating, but it was 104 degrees. the service was excellent. i would go back without hesitation.
