26 Best Vegan Restaurants near Joshua Tree

“Visited The Dez on a trip from NJ and had my favorite meal here! The lentil and hummus on pita was delicious. I hate cooking and have already recreated it twice back home. I also had the Nancy's Fancy chocolate hazelnut gelato for dessert. Just the best meal. Thank you“

“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.“

“Knowing what door to enter is half the battle. Easy for most, but on the hottest of days on crutches, some have a harder time than others with the lack of direction. Unless you're a local who knows better. This definitely feels like a local haunt that's likely to catch a few tourists heading in and out of the desert.

Food was good but inconsistent.. the salad was enough for four people but my quesadilla, although flavorful and fresh (as was the salsa) was woefully thin. Other dishes were OK. The highlight was the eclectic interior and the fun, witty waiter.“

“Classic diner comfort food! Kids menu 😋“

“This place is awesome and perfect for picking up food before or after hiking at Joshua tree! Yesterday I got the vegan breakfast burrito and it was so yum. Today I got vegan pesto pasta salad and a container of vegan choc chip cookies. They also have some good snacks and drinks. Def recommend checking it out! Updated from previous review on 2026-03-30“

“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“

“We had an amazing meal here and both of us would happily return again!
My wife ordered the Grilled shrimp salad and she absolutely loved it. The shrimp was so incredibly flavorful, and the ratio of shrimp to salad mixed with that spicy sauce was perfect. Honestly, she could not have asked for a better dish.

I went with the Fried Rice Combination and it was great. The entire meal was cooked to absolute perfection.

If you are looking for excellent food in the area, this spot is a must visit!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.... ☎️“

“Best sushi in Yucca.“

“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“

“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!“

“warm.and friendly atmosphere and staff... food was amazing and fresh also. highly recomended.“

“Super cool and friendly place. Great pizza and salad. A true gem out here. We will be back.“

“Big fan of 2 guys pie have been going as my main pizza spot of choice as a local up here since they opened. But recently last couple times ive come pizza has been good but i always order the gimme three steps and now the last 3 times there has been barely any cheese in the breads this time around was the worse and its kinda dissapointing at this point 3 strikes ill probably never order the appetizer again unfortunately.“

“This is always our stop on the way out of town for breakfast/lunch before hitting the road. Staff is super friendly, especially the waitress who handles the outside tables. We love seeing her every time! They bring bowls of water for the dogs. While we usually sit outside because of the dogs, the inside is like a typical diner with tables, booths and counter service. The food is delicious, the prices are very reasonable and even sitting outside, they still come by regularly to check on us for refills or anything else we need. You can pay by card, but it does not give the option for tips, so bring cash for that as they deserve good tips. There is parking along the side of the restaurant, but you can also park on the street or on the dirt area across the alley.“

“Great service - good food- beer specials“

“Friendly and great food and service“

“employees are awesome you wouldn't think that a worker would go the extra mile just to help out.. thank you yucca valley del taco for you caring and energetic attitudes“

“This was a better Pho experience in the area. The restaurant was clean. Staff super friendly!! Now the food:
1) Food came quick
2) Noodles not overcooked
3) Decent amount of meat
4) Broth was amazing BUT it had this little sweetness to it that I didn’t like

Anyway, I’d definitely recommend this place!“

“Good food but to go order contained no utensils or napkins. Staying at nearby hotel eating with my hands“
