Reviews for The Cafe at Shields in Indio, CA
We enjoyed the food at The Cafe at Shields Garden. We sat outside which was shaded by umbrellas. The menu was extensive offering... both Breakfast and Lunch items. I tried Date Pancakes. They had a subtle date flavor and were served with fresh dates and datebutter. Fish Tacos were enjoyed by my husband. Well worth a visit. Read more
One of the best restaurants in the valley, a real hidden gem. The food is so affordable and delicious but their date shakes, oh... my gosh! Mouthwatering. After breakfast my family and I love to take the walk. Helps us digest the food and enjoy the beautifullandscapes with the life of Jesus. Highly recommend! You must go early, it tends to get packed fast! Read more
We went here as a group of five. We had to wait a bit to be seated (which is understandable as the spot is popular), we took... that time to take a walk around the farm and by the time we were done, our table was ready. The dishes are mostly Mexican orMexican-inspired and everything was flavourful. The entrees came in large portions. If you eat pork, you must try the baconwrapped dates (oh my, 10/10). I would be remiss if I did not mention how kind, attentive and courteous all the servers are. Ican’t wait to come back here :-) Read more
We had lunch with some friends and the wait staff at the cafe could not have been nicer. The food was good, the atmosphere was... very nice, but the staff was exceptional. I highly recommend this cafe if ya want to have a lunch get together with friends, orif you just want a pleasant relaxing afternoon get away at a cafe with a wonderful ambiance. Just another one of the manyhidden gems here in the Coachella Valley. Read more
There is no OBVIOUS entrance to the restaurant, don’t hesitate to ask staff for directions, it is behind the building and... there is an arch on the right side too. The food and service were great! Quiet, peaceful, you can here the fountain… Romanticspot. Read more
Good eats in a nice outdoor setting. No complaints with the food or service. Only wish they offered a 12 oz shake option inside
Very kind wait staff. We're greeted at the door immediately and asked to take a seat wherever we liked either outdoor or inside.... Was a bit humid outside but they had the misters on even early in the morning which helped when the breeze blew our way. Tableswere clean, drinks and further service was prompt. I don't remember the name, but my breakfast chips dish was unexpectedlygreat. The biscuits and gravy had a very unique sauce as well. The chorizo as a side was a bit different than I normally am usedto eating, but being homemade it was good in its own way. Eggs were cooked exactly how we asked them to be as well. The countrypotatoes were cut in bite sized chunks but not really flavored much. That's the only slight hit for me. Again, the multiplestaff who hosted us were very attentive with drink refills and checking up on us throughout,yet not very pushy or annoying evenwhen it came time to pay the bill. The place just looked a bit old and partially under construction which is the only reason for4 stars. Read more
Search, “ Edmonton Eats in Indio, Ca | THE CAFE AT SHIELDS “ on youtube! We enjoyed the cafe at Shields. Host, servers, and... the guitarist were fantastic! All were friendly! We noticed many families dining and I loved that pets are allowed! We got thesante fe omelet, the works omelet, date me omelet, shields signature omelet, and a stuffed date. It was a lot of food. We sharedthe salad. And yes we had leftovers!! The food was delicious and of course anything with dates was great! We ended up buyingdates and the date butter to take home to canada with us!
