About Us

1/2

We believe a perfect handcrafted scoop and a delicious doughnut have the power to create connection.

Our mission is to be your neighborhood hub for it all!

Whether you’re cheering after a big win, looking for a "Sundae-Funday" ritual, creating a sweet date night, looking for a friday night hang out or just need a dose of kindness, we are here to serve you with ingredients sourced right here in California.

From dreams to reality:

At the heart of La Quinta's 'Gem of the Desert" destination lies a story of love transformed into something deliciously meaningful. When a daughter's mission to find a delicious doughnut for her father during his health journey led to an unexpected calling, 1/2sies Co. was born.

We have many more arcs to our manifestation and creation story - one filled with laughs, another sourced from inspiration within our family tree and, of course, more sweetness... for now what we will say is that 1/2sies Co. was destined to be right HERE and right NOW in the Coachella Valley!

Our hope is to put La Quinta on the map for outstanding ice cream and doughnuts!! YAAAAS!

We want to be your new, cherished community hub where handcrafted doughnuts and creative ice cream combinations do more than satisfy cravings – they create moments of connection. Each treat that leaves our kitchen carries forward our founding belief that the simplest pleasures can bring people together, create JOY and inspire creativity in the most wonderful ways.
