点评:Driving up to the building, it looks as if it is 1960 again...
One enters through a large gift shop with a good selection of candy, syrups, jam/jellies, souvenirs, jewelry, etc. Watch the short film as it gives you a nice introduction and history of Shield's. There is an old time counter where you can get the famous date shake.
The Cafe is outside and in a small air-conditioned building (that does not have much atmosphere...but great when it's really hot). We sat outside. There are umbrellas and a couple fans out there. It was quite warm but nevertheless, many folks sat outside as well. They serve breakfast and lunch only. They close at 2 pm unless there is a private function. Nice size menu. All of the staff were professional and very helpful.
We tried the stuffed dates as a small appetizer and shared a cheeseburger with fruit. All of the food was delicious. The stuffed dates were out of this world good. YUMMY!
After, we did the walk through their Garden. It takes a half hour or so depending on if you read the plaques/signs at each stop. Very enjoyable.
Shield's was the best attraction on our recent trip to Indio & Palm Springs. We plan to go back this fall when the temps are cooler.
*****5 STARS *****
翻译:开车来到这家店前,感觉仿佛回到了1960年代……
入口处是一家大型礼品店,里面琳琅满目地摆放着糖果、糖浆、果酱/果冻、纪念品、珠宝等等。店内有一部短片,可以让你了解Shield's的简介和历史。店里还有一个老式柜台,可以买到著名的枣泥奶昔。
咖啡馆位于室外,在一个装有空调的小房子里(虽然氛围一般……但天气炎热的时候很舒服)。我们坐在外面。外面有遮阳伞和几台风扇。天气很热,但仍然有很多顾客选择坐在外面。他们只供应早餐和午餐。下午2点关门,除非有私人活动。菜单种类丰富。所有员工都很专业,也很乐于助人。
我们点了酿枣作为开胃菜,还分享了一个加水果的芝士汉堡。所有食物都很美味。酿枣简直好吃到令人难以置信!太好吃了!
之后,我们去逛了逛他们的花园。游览大约需要半小时,具体时间取决于你是否阅读每个站点的标牌/指示牌。非常愉快。
希尔兹博物馆是我们最近印第奥和棕榈泉之旅中最棒的景点。我们计划今年秋天天气凉爽的时候再去一次。
