Sphinx Date Co. Palm & Pantry

Locally crafted food & gifts specializing in Arizona-grown Medjool dates, local food, wine, & date shakes.

In 1928 when a hybrid date fruit variety was discovered, founders planted a palm tree grove at the base of Camelback Mountain and named it Sphinx Date Ranch. Since the 1950s we've provided fresh date gifts and farm and artisan sourced local products to recipients around the world. Visit our Scottsdale gift shop for fresh Arizona dates & edible gifts, locally-crafted pantry goods, dried fruits, nuts, & Arizona wines.

Dear Sphinx family,

It is with mixed emotions that we announce that Sphinx Date Co. will soon be relocating. A sudden and unexpected change in the lease terms has made it impossible to stay in the location we have called home for the past 30 years. We have cherished our time here and the experiences we’ve had with all our Sphinx patrons, and are still adjusting to this fast-moving change.

However, we look to the future with positivity and excitement for the next chapter. We thank our loyal customers who have supported Sphinx Date Co. for its nearly 75 years in business. We will continue to keep you informed as the situation evolves. Meanwhile, please continue to support us in-store or online.

With Hope,
Sharyn & Rebecca
💛🌴💛
