    This new counter-service spot is a winner. Just opened, so ironing out the kinks. Açaí bowls, smoothies and coffee on one side and warm bowls on the other. The bowls are only available from 12-8pm Thursday-Sunday. They are reworking their menu, so the previous ones on Google are not accurate for the warm bowls. You choose a base of any combination of rice, black beans, and spring mix. Add protein for $4. Choose some veggies, toppings, and a sauce or two. It's hard to stay on theme, but hey eat what you like! Everything was created to order and very fresh. They are generous with the toppings. The concept is great, the owners/operators were friendly and helpful. Lots of choices make the product a little slow coming out. They need a little fine tuning and a new posted menu, but I have high hopes for their success. I look forward to trying their açaí bowls next time.

    Custom bowl with chicken, lettuce, rice, veggies, and hummus. I paid extra for the avocado.

    The bowl was good enough that I would come back again, especially because it was fresh and healthy. My husband's chicken tortilla soup was also good. I wish that they would have put the bowl in a larger container, even if not filled to the top. There was no room to mix the items around. I will attach a photo.

    They have drinks; smoothies, lemonade, OJ, açaí bowls, soup. There was only 1 barista at the time I went so there was a wait since there was a small line. The service was great regardless of the wait, I'd come back here. There indoor seating and a restroom with a code upon request to retrieve. I ordered the Hikers protein and it was 10/10

    I was looking for some good clean food while passing through Joshua Tree and was stoked to find Bliss Cafe! I got a Mediterranean Bowl with a Detox Juice and they were delicious. Grateful to find a business that cares about clean ingredients for health conscious consumers. The cafe was very clean and bright... quite a refreshing and welcoming atmosphere that gave me confidence the food & drinks are made with intention. Staff were nice and helpful! Bliss Cafe is my new go to every time I pass through the area without a doubt... Thanks!

    No cash accepted and they are also going to charge you an extra 3% to use your card and say it's a convenience fee

    If you like rotten lettuce Over cooked, unseasoned, dry chicken for an extra $4 It honestly tastes like a bag of microwaved chicken Paying for avocado $3 (but not receiving it) Waiting 40 min for your food with no other customers there Paying $7 to add shrimp as well (you only get 5 shrimp) Being told you can't pay cash only card and then being charged an extra 3% for using a card Then this place is for youuu OH and when you try to call them to speak to them about your messed up order ( because we always find out when we get home right?) the number on the receipt is for a completely different business. So hiding their phone number of course. Apparently their phone number is ACTUALLY 760-316-5002 BUT DONT WORRY Bliss Café won't answer anyways. Needless to say! I will not be back pics will be attached. Also don't let those cookies fool you! Man do they look good in the case but you will need dental work after taking a bite! They are as hard as ROCKS! They are as hard and as dry as a hidden valley granola bar from the early 2000's

    I was grateful to find a healthy choice in our drive through the desert. They have a full build your own bowl bar with high quality healthy options, açaí bowls, treats, and coffee drinks. The ladies that work here are extremely friendly, the place is clean with beautiful mountain views! Glad we found this healthy choice in the desert.

    Awesome place, cool healthy build your own bowls. Meats are good. Really great service from Nevlina.

    Loved the smoothies here! We were just wanting to power up on something before we go on a hike and this was perfect! The ambience was nice and spacious and the wait wasn't long. Will come back again if I am ever in the area!

    What a vibe!!…read more Visiting Joshua Tree and had to make a stop here! Options for coffee or a cocktail, what a cool concept. They have cool art work and merch. Staff are super friendly and had great customer service. We tried the Banana nut latte, salted caramel cold brew, Arnold Palmer and a cocktail El Compsnero. All were super tasty! I would add a little extra swetner when getting a tea, but we enjoyed our mid day pick me up! The photo booth was so much fun! We had a blast getting our pics. Just overall a dope place!

    Overhyped and not worth it…read more The place looks really nice inside, but unfortunately, that's about the only positive thing I can say. I ordered the blueberry hibiscus, and it was terrible there was barely any flavor at all. It was so bad that I ended up throwing it away, which felt like a complete waste of money. My friend ordered the matcha latte, and that was just as disappointing. The matcha was extremely watered down and had very little flavor. To make things worse, the cashier was rude and had a standoffish attitude, which made the experience even less enjoyable. The AC also wasn't working, so it was uncomfortable inside. Overall, this place is way overhyped. The interior is cute, but the drinks and customer service were a huge letdown. Definitely not worth the money or the hype.

    OK, so this is confusing - there are 2 pages on Yelp that are for The Dez, and there are indeed two…read morelocations, but it seems like people are just reviewing wherever they are reviewing for either location (they are like, steps from each other). ANYWAY. We have been here a couple of times - will usually stop by here when we're in Joshua Tree. On Saturdays, there is a Farmer's Market in the parking lot, so it gets pretty crowded. This last time we went, I got an iced strawberry matcha, and my partner got the chai iced tea. Both with almond milk. They still charge a surplus for non-dairy, which feels so 2022. But anyway. The drinks were delicious. We also got an almond croissant, which doesn't look like much, but it was AMAZING. And then the quiches. Oh, the quiches. I had such high hopes for these, especially since we were primed with refreshing drinks and a tasty pastry. These quiches are muffin-sized, perfect for a light meal or a heavier snack, and they look super cute. They will heat them up for you. When we went, they had bacon cheddar and spinach feta. We got one of each. My friends, these were so disappointing. First, no flavor. We asked for ketchup or hot sauce to give it a bit of acid, because it was basically egg all the way through. Solid wall of egg that tasted like the powdered egg you get at one of those corporate conference catered breakfasts. I had one tiny sliver of bacon in mine, and my partner was playing hide and seek with the spinach, and the spinach was winning. The crust itself was rubbery and chewy, not flaky like I would expect a quiche to be. I mean, it was palatable and not super expensive. I'm just not sure if you're selling food, you want it to just be "palatable". Last time, we got a savory veggie pie, and that was pretty good, so they DO have good savory foods. I think the quiches were just a huge miss this time. Bathroom is clean and single-stalled. Parking is easy in the lot, and on Farmer's Market days, I mean, c'mon, it's Joshua Tree, it's not like there isn't space on the streets too.

The beef hash was extremely dry and was mostly potatoes. It had no flavor or seasoning. The eggs weren't even over hard, they were scrambled instead. The cornbread was bland. Good thing I added butter, because it helped make it more moist and gave it some flavor. My partner ordered Mike's Mess with white toast. His scrambled eggs were also filled with potatoes, and the overall meal was just as disappointing. The food lacked flavor and wasn't satisfying at all. I've never had such a disappointing, bad breakfast experience until this restaurant. The restaurant was clean, had plenty of tables, and was busy. Most importantly, the staff was friendly and nice.

The woman at the counter, whose name I didn't get but who had pink and white striped hair, refused to serve my boyfriend even though the website said the cafe was open, the door sign said the cafe was open, and people were in the cafe itself eating and drinking coffee at a few of the tables. She said the cafe was closed because she was too busy, even though there were only a few people around. When I asked if it was possible to get coffee, she said alright but we should order the drip coffee because she wasn't very good at making anything else. While we sat and drank our coffees, a group of about six women came up and she let them order food and coffee for the group. A man was next in line and she told him the same thing she told my boyfriend: that she was busy and the cafe was closed. This pattern continued. She served women in groups of any size, but men who asked were told that the cafe was closed. This is unacceptable and I will not be returning, however nice the setting.

I honestly don't think I've made a single desert trip without stopping in at least once. Part of it is the location.

Pioneer Crossing Antiques is also nearby and was sadly closed this Wednesday, but I normally stop in whenever it's open. The proprietors are awesome and I always find something unique to take home. Food-wise, the lox bagel was a standout. Great ratio of cream cheese, capers, dill, thin-shaved red onion, plus a little side salad of arugula and radish that actually tasted fresh instead of feeling like decoration. The yogurt parfait was small but mighty, layered with berries and granola and substantial enough to feel like breakfast. Easy seating, dog friendly, and plenty of sandwiches and salads if you're not in a bagel mood. Tasty, fresh, quick, and just enough "we did something" energy before heading back to the Airbnb to relax and beat the heat.

And while the breakfast sando was light and all alone on the plate, the way the mayo fused the flavors together was delicious. But I do wish the beverage fridge had prices listed so I wasn't surprised at the register. The restaurant, while it's a bit tricky to find on the side of a building, inside is a modern space. It's spotless and very clean. The aesthetic is minimalist and if it were just you, it could feel a bit cold, if not for the steady buzz of activity behind the counter. There were three staff members who moved swiftly. As I watched I was impressed with their efficiency as the kept things running smoothly. When we entered an hour before closing, we made the mistake to sit and pause to look over the menu. It was a mistake because it seemed like the front door kept swinging open as wave after wave of hungry visitors poured in. My guess is these folks were all returning from Joshua Tree National Park. In fact, it felt like nearly everyone there had just come from the park. The business concept appears thoughtfully geared toward travelers, particularly those with a bit of disposable income and a discerning palate. Overall, this is a certified foodie stop: quality over quantity: taste over filling up.
