I'd like to update my review. YES the design emits the warmth of my dentist's waiting room. And YES the coffee is giving 2007 Lavazza bubbly capuccino vibes, and hell YES they may have Shazammed Home Depot's store music to build their playlist. BUT their bowls...the bowls are so good. so incredibly good. Fresh, bountiful, healthy, REAL rich food that I was so delighted by. I apologize for reviewing you guys without truly giving the entire menu a try.. Keep up the beautiful work. And as long as you have these bowls; you do you with the rest! read more

Cappuccino: smooth + balanced (4/5) Date smoothie: naturally sweet + creamy (4/5) Exactly what we needed before leaving Joshua Tree today! Service was quick, tons of seating and the smoothie was definitely energizing! read more

Bliss Cafe - Cappuccino & Perfect Date smoothie - Cafes Near Me - Joshua Tree, California

Bliss cafe has exceptionally good food made fresh with so many options it's hard to choose what to put in your "Build Your Own Bowl". I went with a spring mix salad bowl, skipped the protein which is extra. Instead I opted for double edamame, steamed vegetables, sweet potatoes, hearts of palm, black beans, and coconut curry sauce. It was delicious and a good value for the money. Next time I will ask for double the sweet potatoes they were so good! Can't wait to come back and try other combinations! They also have Build Your Own yogurt and açaí bowls with loads of options, smoothies, some baked items and great coffee. There's plenty of indoor seating so make sure you check them out when visiting Joshua Tree. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

Took over 10 min to order, with no line and only 1 table occupied. Ordered a scone, but it was half the size of the display scone. It was not warmed, stale, and not worth eating. No cash option, so you are forced to pay with card and they add a convenience fee on top! This place Blows! read more

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! read more

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 read more

Those low star reviews don't know what they're talking about!!! I was looking for a healthy and yummy place in Joshua Tree and when I was passing through their downtown and saw Bliss Cafe. The food here is amazing!! I built my own bowl with chicken, the grilled onion and pepper, sweet potatoes, cucumber, feta, tomato, olives, hummus and goddess dressing. The service was great too! The staff answered all of my questions about how to build my own bowl. Gave me plenty of choices and I am super happy with the result. Next time for breakfast, I'm gonna stop for an açai bowl. Those look super tasty too. Overall, the atmosphere was really nice. It's a new business so everything is squeaky clean. To whomever complained about the lighting I have this to say to you... I like being able to see my food!! Five stars all the way for Bliss! It's nice having this new restaurant available to locals! Can't wait to go back. read more

Such delicious coffee!! Def a must try if you're in the area. The scones were also amazing.

Found bliss cafe after stopping by to get coffee at a popular shop nearby which we ended up not liking too much and throwing away. Ended up at Bliss which was the right move. We ordered coffee (again) and a refreshing açaí bowl made by Chloe (spelling?) the young blonde lady. She was very friendly and helpful. The space is huge with great views. All around blissful vibes. 10/10 would come back read more

The place is soooo clean and the food amazingly fresh. We loved the bowls we ordered. We are vegan and gluten free... try the BBQ jackfruit! Service was lovely, they had attention to detail and great attitude. We could sit and really enjoyed our lunch. Thanks for everything! read more

I went in to grab a quick smoothie, but it took much longer than expected. I paid $15 for a smoothie that looked to be about 16 oz. I ordered the date smoothie. The taste was okay and pretty average, and it was not worth the price for the size. I wish they offered different size options. Also, they have signs saying they do not accept cash, which is unfortunate, and they charge an extra 3% fee for card payments. read more

Really great option for groups and yummy food. They have several different sauces available for their bowls. Was perfect for us after walking around the Joshua tree park. read more

Super nice people! They let me try some jackfruit before I made my order. Everything is fresh. The coffee is delicious and strong. A great addition to Joshua Tree! read more

Unique vegan option. Honestly, it was NOT edible. It's like they took every potential vegan item and just threw them in a bowl. The flavors do not go well together at all. The jackfruit tasted like it came directly out of the can it was shipped in. There was no attempt at seasoning the jackfruit.The vegan sausage was an Italian flavor. Put those two flavors together with the collard greens, beets, sweet potatoes, beans, rice.m, hearts of palm, crispy onion, all topped with green goddess dressing- nope. It did not taste good. Whoever created it did not try it. Also, the staff was unsure at which of the dressings/sauces were vegan. To play it safe I went with the bowl labeled plant based. I will try this café again, but it will not be for their menu plant base/vegan option. They do have a build your own bowl. That would be the way to go if they can get an ingredient list for the sauces/dressings. As far as the ambience, it lacks the uniqueness and coziness of the Joshua tree vibes. I'm sure that will change over time as it will become a little more lived in. There are bathrooms available for customers. The front door is nearly impossible to open unless you are a gym rat. Maybe it's just because it is new and hasn't been worn in yet. Three out of five stars because they are new. I hope on a future visit I will be able to update this to five out of five. read more

LOVEEE Makenna!! She seriously made the best açaí bowl ever, so fresh, perfectly blended, and the toppings were amazing. The other lady also made my coffee exactly how I like it with oat milk and sugar-free vanilla (because skinny ).

Bliss Cafe - Acai Bowl and Ice Cafe Latte with Sugar Free Vanilla - Cafes Near Me - Joshua Tree, California

Place is pretty disorganized. Stood at the counter for 5 minutes, then had to stop someone to ask to order. Then they went in the back to get someone else to take my order, seemed a little chaotic in the kitchen for 10 minutes. Then they came and told me 5 more minutes for the sweet potatoes for my dish. This is set up kinda a like a chipotle, heaven forbid they ever get a line like chipotle. Smoothies were bland. Coffee below average. Large fancy looking place with plenty of staff. They need to pick it up a couple of notches if they want to last 12 months. read more

The food here is not the problem, the bowls are great. However, an issue happened with their staff that prompted my group to walk out while in line. On Sunday, February 8 around 9:30 am we were in line and noticed the girl with dark hair and a lot of tattoos on her arms behind the cash register wiping her runny nose with the side of her hand. She then grabbed a napkin, dabbed her nose, and then patted the side of her face, as if she had a fever. In addition when she went to start making the drinks for the people that were in front of us, she did not wash her hands after touching her nose or the cash register. All while spreading her sickly germs. We were completely disgusted and walked out. Food handlers should really consider the health and safety of their guests before preparing drinks and food and most certainly should not be coming to work if they are sick. Do not know that we would come back here because of this. read more

I haven't tried the food yet, but the coffee is excellent. I ordered the cold brew and also picked up a bag of beans to take home. The beans have a really nice fruity, floral profile, and the staff is friendly. read more

First off, when I walked in I was immediately greeted by the staff who were all happy to welcome me and take my order. I ordered the curry bowl which was very flavorful, and I would recommend to anyone who's coming here for their first time. They also have a very calming ambiance and other options such as coffee and açaí bowls which is great for anyone coming in from a long day of hiking. read more

Bliss Café is exactly what Joshua Tree needed. Incredible coffee, fresh smoothies, and seriously comforting hot bowls that hit the spot any time of day. The space itself is beautiful--clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed, making it a perfect place to relax or get some work done. Everything feels intentional, from the menu to the atmosphere. A new must-stop in town. read more

First time here...glad we have new options and they are just figuring things out so here is what I will say about the Teriyaki chicken bowl: -Add more rice...it's cheap. I didn't have enough rice to finish my chicken with -Bigger bowl for more rice would be nice -Don't put cold beans on a "hot" bowl -Heat up the chicken for the "hot" bowl...pieces were warm and had some cold areas...so maybe you just put in microwave? That alone will have me not coming back. -Seasoning was delicious though Atmosphere is yes sterile and uncreative after a 3 year wait! Wasn't impressed. Don't really care about seating area just want my food piping hot. read more

Update your hours so they're accurate. Walked up at 6:45pm because it says they're open until 8 - nope, they close at 6

Very friendly staff. You're a new business, so I'll be gentle. Some constructive feedback: - Right when I walked in, I was hit by the stench of antiseptic cleaner. Not a good first impression. - Vibe is very sterile. Tons of empty space. Visit the Dez or Más o Menos to see how a cozy vibe invites customers. - I was excited to try a new cafe, and disappointed to see the menu is only smoothies, açaí bowls, and coffee. Where are the sandwiches, pastries, soups? A cafe has those things. Wishing you the best. read more

This was the best roadside Café they had amazing bowls, and the savory scones were to die for. Stop by before you go on your hike.
