I stopped by here for a brunch spot and it definitely hit the spot…read more I came with a few friends and we came towards the end of brunch so we had to wait a little over 30 mins. It was a Thursday morning but they were extremely packed. It probably was the rush after the meteor shower evening. I ordered the country fried steak, my friends ordered the lemonade (homemade but SUPER TART!!), the last biscuits and gravy (this was gonna be my order too!), and the veggie omelet, and we ordered a regular French toast to share. Their homemade biscuit was hefty, but the gravy matched the biscuit. The workers were friendly and helpful when asking questions and for assistance. I loved all the homey decor, and the pictures. I was so happy to see a picture of Anthony Bourdain stopped here! Would definitely recommend coming here if you're on a stop into Joshua Tree.

Unfortunately, the food was just okay and definitely not worth waiting that long for. We did end up getting a few of our drinks comped, which I appreciated. Other than that, the pancakes were pretty mediocre, and the biscuits and gravy were just okay. Overall, I wouldn't recommend waiting that long for the food.

Such a cute, delicious brunch place to stop by! So glad my family and I were able to grab a table…read moreduring our trip to Joshua Tree. The service here is amazing - The staff worked diligently to make sure that my family and our 3 dogs were able to be accommodated. While the wait time was a bit longer ( as expected of a busy summer holiday weekend) the shops and stores nearby provide entertainment while waiting for your table. Everything ordered was delicious and reasonably priced. I would definitely stop by again whenever I'm back in the area! Side note: Make sure you try the sourdough, so yummmmm!

The banana bread was dry and $40 for only two dishes of breakfast food it didn't feel worth it. We had ordered pancakes with home fries and eggs, as well as the Mike's Mess. The Mike's Mess was bland and the pancakes were dry and bland as well. I enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant, it felt like a rustic diner. But the food could be improved.

You can choose to accompany it with toast or biscuits and gravy. Go with the biscuits and gravy. Of course, the chicken fried steak has plenty of gravy. My wife and split it. Our son got a half order of the French Toast. It was a huge portion. We spotted a roadrunner from our window. The owner told us there are three that are regular visitors. I'd love to return.

This place is delicious! Word of mouth brought me here and I'll definitely return…read more I do have one complaint for the owners, Why wouldn't you enable credit card tipping for your servers? There's no way I'm ordering food and not leaving the server something. Do us all a favor and enable tipping so I don't have to go out of my way to get cash.

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.

I was very impressed with catering From The Dez. I had…read moreordered dessert, cake slice assortment for Friday evening event and ordered sandwiches for a Saturday lunch event. The food was excellent. They also gave gluten free cake slices, sandwiches and other desserts. My gluten-free friends said the food was delicious. It was easy to work with Kris.

The barista was super helpful with recommendations, and we ended up trying the First Roast, which had such nice chocolatey notes, and the iced chai latte, which was the perfect balance of sweetness and cinnamon for me! Definitely a cute spot to grab a coffee while exploring Joshua Tree!

**Coffee fix adventures continue...(In Joshua Tree!)…read more Very cute and quaint coffee shop, with a clean interior. Some patio seating out back seems shared with the restaurant space next door. I enjoyed the drinks here, but just found it a bit odd that my half-caf latte was more bitter than my husband's regular latte? I think the espresso here is a bit strong, and their coffee is considered decent for what you can get in the area. Forgot to take pics of all our drinks, whoopsie! The line was too long the next day we wanted to get some for our drive home, so we only tried it once. Parking is out front or around the block, which got busy & full over the holiday weekend.

I honestly don't think I've made a single desert trip without stopping in at least once. Part of it is the location. Acme 62 and Hoof + Horn are both literally right next door and both great for gifts that say "I went to the desert" without going full souvenir shop. 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.

Skip this place if you can. I absolutely hate leaving bad reviews and I'm sorry to say that this…read morewas one of the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. With an empty restaurant I had to wait to be seated. No towels in the restroom, the "Bloody Mary" I ordered was tomato juice, had to ask twice for a straw and when I asked for a side of horseradish it took 10 mins and was a cream mixture? Then they said they forgot to put in my food order at this point had I of known I would have paid for my drink and left then. But to wait over 30 mins for eggs and soft hash browns is sad. Food came and my friend said his French toast was good so there's that but my gravy lacked flavor and seasoning. Overall not the experience I was looking for on my way out of town- should have kept driving.

We were in town for a show at Pappy and Harriets. Some of the locals had recommended C&S Coffee…read moreShop for breakfast, so we thought we'd give it a try. This restaurant is stuck in a time warp. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It was clean, just a little outdated. I particularly loved the framed kitten art on the walls. I kept looking around for more to keep me entertained. I ordered Eggs Benedict. It was average. The Hollandiase sauce tasted like it came from a can. Again, not a bad thing, but if you wanted to step up your game, making it fresh wouldn't be a bad idea. Spouse orders pancakes where ever we go. They said they were a little dry and not their favorite. Coffee was also average. The creamers on the table seemed hard to come by. If I were in town again, I might try them for lunch and see if that's any better. We had a good time in Yucca Valley. C&S Coffee Shop is just average.

We got wraps last time we stopped in, today we ordered a couple BLT's +avocado #delish. We also got the Sabrina Smoothie which is the main reason I'm doing this review. Sooooooo good!

We're here for the weekend, so I'll probs be back for another smoothie treat!

The turkey, while good, wasn't freshly carved, which took a little away from the "special" feel. 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.
