I have waited for over ten years to make my way out to Oasis Date Gardens to enjoy a creamy Date Milkshake. So much that I refused to try any other Date Shake in fear that it would ruin the famous Oasis Date Shake I had heard so much about. I cannot express the excitement I held as we pulled into the parking lot after a long drive from Phoenix it was exactly what we needed. On the other hand my mother and son thought I was insane for finding this culinary adventure so intriguing. Yet this is one of the great things about traveling with people you love everyone has different interests and we all join in to experience the others joy and excitement.
As we entered Jax was welcomed by Raul Medjool and found that posing for a picture with him was even more exciting then walking the small store located towards the back with a wide variety of food items to add to the large store located in the front full of dates.
After we ordered our Date shakes we wondered around the small store and helped ourselves to the sampling area as we anxiously awaited them to be prepared.
The shakes were everything I had ever dreamed to expect and more. I now question why it took me so long to make the short journey out here and I will surely not wait as long for our next visit. I was not the only one who fell in love with the Date Shake in pure shock both my mother and my son had also fallen in love with the famous treat. We then wondered into a small room off to the side of the store to enjoy a short educational movie about the history of the Oasis Date Gardens.
Once again we had unexpectedly learned so much on a short culinary journey to a Date Farm, in the middle of the Desert, all while enjoying the most amazing creamy date shake that you could ever imagine.
