Restaurants near Joshua Tree

“I would definitely come here again and recommend trying it out for a meal or camping/hiking provisions. I had the Hummus & Lentil (V) - seasoned lentils tossed with lemon vinaigrette, baby lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes & red onion served on pita bread. I recommend eating it all together on the pita rather than deconstructing it with your fork, by the way! I also had the vegan sausage roll and thought it was excellent. And I know sausage rolls – they are one of my all-time favorite foods. The Beyond Meat sausage was combined with delicious pastry that was slightly spicy – I think they used Hot Italian sausages. And do not ignore the homemade ketchup that goes with it – it’s really good! Staff members were very friendly and the restaurant is fun, unpretentious and stocked with good provisions. It’s also dog-friendly, according to a cute write-up on DogTrekker : ) I’m giving the Dez 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following: • A good chunk of the menu is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Reducing our meat intake is a key action for mitigating climate change, deforestation, water use, water pollution, and of course animal suffering. • Some ingredients for vegan dishes are organic – chickpeas for the wrap, brown rice for the Buddha bowl and cocoa for the almond joy date balls. • It’s an inclusive restaurant – an important feature in this climate. • Room for improvement: skip the beef as it really has ridiculously big environmental footprints (carbon and land) compared to eggs, chicken, and pork. Use compostable to-go boxes instead of polypropylene.”

“Great food and vibes are exactly what we needed in the dessert relaxing mood coffee and Mountain View’s all around. I had a dirty chai and she had a caramel latte they were both hot and delicious with a cool flower and heart design for the frothy. Definitely coming back!!”

“I'd move to Joshua Tree just to drink coffee in the mornings at Country Kitchen...”

“We were visiting Joshua and were staying nearby. Walked over Saturday night. Place was packed but the service was efficient, friendly and organized. Best of all the pizza was delicious. Crust was perfect, toppings were generous. Great place to visit.”

“Seems like a local hang out spot. It was absolutely packed! I would absolutely recommend calling in a reservation, we had to wait 20-30 minutes and sat outside. The inside was quite boisterous and loud, outside was fairly quiet. The food was great, service was great!”

“Amazing store, so many things to choose from. Lady assisting us with our purchase was very informative and helpful.”

“Best espresso beans I have found! So fresh! Thank you from Ohio ( :”

“It took 4 years for them to be able to open this restaurant, so much bureaucracy and red tape, it’s a miracle it exists. It’s not easy to run + open a restaurant in JT. I for one am grateful for a new food option here in Joshua Tree, thank you to the owners for the time and energy you put into getting this restaurant off the ground. I’m sure it’s going to become a Joshua tree staple.”

“We stopped by their location in 29 Palms for a quick beer after a hot day! The Belgian and Pilsner were both great. The location seems a little unassuming, so don’t drive past!

Note: cash and venmo only here!”

“Good food for a decent price. Very fast service, the carne asada fries is a must.”

“We were just passing through and stopped to photograph the Joshua tree in front. Never pass up a chance for good bread. The baker was out of bread but very sweetly gave us 2 brioche buns he had left even though they were closed! These folks are kind, and lovely and you should definitely try their bread. It was delicious.”

“Finally made it happen and had the most delicious organic lunch here, for the first time. Wonderfully eclectic & interesting crowd of diners. We had a table for 2 people and a dog within about 10 minutes on a Saturday. The service so friendly and helpful, we were offered drinks while we waited. A welcoming environment & great energy. Nice people, the owner herself and all who work there. Wonderful & cozy chic seating outside. Lots of well mannered dogs making the ambiance even that much more pleasing. This place has very talented & creative chefs. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Great service throughout meal. My hubby had the steak with grilled peppers while I had the most delicious Salmon Salad which was prepared with love & each ingredient such excellent quality. I think we were told our beef came from free range organic farm in Australia. The water they serve is from a local aquaphore and tastes excellent. If I remember correctly our desert was toasted parents with raspberries & a glaze that was uniquely tasty. We will definitely be back to this gem.”

“Phenomenal atmosphere, live jazz every Sunday. The perfect spot for a date night and the design of the entire place is incredible.”

“Such great food! So close to home. A real hidden gem! Worth the cost for such wonderfully prepared food. I could eat a bucket of that spaetzle that they served... so delicious!”

“Been here a few times before and the staff is always nice and professional. Did go a little later this last time so it was kind of understandable about the food, but for the price some things could have been better.”

“This was my family’s first time dining at this location. The food was amazing. The staff looked very comfortable and very friendly. The atmosphere was fabulous. It is definitely a hidden gem in Yucca Valley”

“Omg. The food is quality, seriously amazing. And the staff are sooooooo friendly. I have to stop here every time I’m in the area and you should too.”

“Authentic Mexican So Cal style”

“Just a note to folks using other avenues of APP orders. Direct phone line contact might be your best resort since it is a Rual area of the basin. So before frustration sets in and you miss a nourishing meal.. Make the CALL.... ☎️”

“I had the pleasure of eating here a week ago. The restaurant is the cleanest restaurant I've been in, even in the restroom. The plants and decor sets a vibe. Susan and her son made me feel so welcome. They allowed me to try different things, and Susan even gave me sushi to take with me. The food was fresh. Everything super tasty. I have no complaints and recommend this place to everyone. You can tell they put a lot of thought and effort there. The love and energy are felt as soon as you walk through the door!”
