10 Best Vegan Restaurants in 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.“

“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.“

“Classic diner comfort food! Kids menu 😋“

“Delish! Must try! And amazing scenery“

“Super convenient grab and go place that sells all sorts of locally sourced items. Parking is the same lot as the Joshua Tree visitor’s center. Restrooms are outside. They carry snacks, coffee, tshirts, drinks, Gatorade, and kombucha. On the pricier side of things, but if you have the cash, worth the try.“

“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!“

“Jass served us and went above and beyond to ensure we had exactly what we wanted. She also offered to cut our subs in thirds and wrap them individually, knowing we were eating on the road. Such customer service! We are tourists and likely will never be this way again, but if we were locals, we would go to this Subway just to have Jass’ outstanding customer service. Thank you, Jass for taking the time to make our day more special! We hope your manager will recognize you and - if you are the manager - pat yourself on the back!“

“Sam’s Always has Good food the wait is a little long sometimes but normally not bad it’s a smaller joint“

“Excellent Thai food, and I know authentic Thai because I am half Thai and grew up there. Great choices, balanced and flavorful dishes. For any fan of Thai food, you won’t be disappointed. And the service was attentive and gracious. I highly recommend this restaurant.“
