Sphinx Date Co. Palm & Pantry

"Grown in only two states, dates were once a pillar of Arizona’s economy, luring tourists to the Sonoran Desert with promises of palm trees and desert fruit. Vestiges of this now largely vanished culture linger, including the date shake at Sphinx. This family-owned gift shop (a retail outlet for Sphinx Date Ranch) specializes in Arizona-grown dates, sold by the bag, platter, or basket. But it’s the date milkshake, composed of nothing more than milk, ice cream, and sweet, sticky dates, that offers a unique taste of Arizona past and present." - Mcconnell Quinn

"Offers a variety of hand-sorted Medjool dates and less common varieties. Date milkshakes available." - Stephanie Carter
