My travel buddy and I were getting worried. Where was Hadley's? Did we miss it? We really really needed a cold creamy date milk shake. It was hot and dry and we had been in the car for four hours. We needed a pit stop! I am happy to announce Hadley's is still there although dwarfed by a huge casino and a town that is no longer a blink and you might miss it kind of place. We had to back track a bit.
Years ago when my parents lived in Phoenix we made the 8-hour trip on Highway 10 about twice a year, and we always stopped at Hadley's. I could not arrive at my dad's doorstep without a box of their delicious California grown Medjool dates. It's a fun place to stock up on snack food for long drives across the country. Besides dates, they have yummy pralines, peanut brittle and baked goods. It's located at Cabazon, right before the turn off to Palm Springs. And, of course, their date shakes are to die for!
