Located next to the JT visitor center west entrance and about 5 miles from the park entrance. We arrived to this small local place just as they were opening at 7:30 am and they had breakfast sandwiches being made, mostly with bacon, egg and cheese but they'll make you sausage or other variation as well. They also have a good selection of other breakfast items like hard boiled eggs, cheese, fruits, yogurt parfait, salad and deli lunch sandwiches. Additionally they sell various hot and cold drinks, organic JT coffee beans that they'll grind for you, salty and sweet snacks, California dates and roadrunner t-shirts. Prices are not cheap but comparable to other similar places and Starbucks. We appreciated the friendly staff. The breakfast sandwich was delicious, though it did take a bit to make.

Pretty great selection and prices honestly for a quick stock up before heading into the weeds.

The cookies were good however wish they had more flavors other than the two.

But, they know how to cook! The Vegan BLT and the Tuna Melt were near perfect (and I have had my fair share of both). Good bread, good mayo, good "bacon", flavorful tuna, good cheese, heirloom tomatoes.... Seriously, you will not find better, anywhere. So if driving through 29 Palms, do yourself a favor and grab a bite. Oh and the store next door has some hipster cute stuff, too. Enjoy!

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! The inside is clean with several tables to sit, including a large table for a bigger party. We sat on the small patio and enjoyed the nice May weather with a breeze. 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.

It's located in a small plaza but parking was easy to find. First entering there r alot of food goodies sold including take away sides/meals. Looks crowded but no one ordering. There was an influx of people past 11am but the line moves so fast! I asked what was their most popular breakfast sandwich and the dyed red haired girl at the cash register said the turkey club sandwich. I dont like bacon so she suggested they remove that and sub avocado so i went with it! And also got the matcha hot with oatmilk. Partner ordered tuna melt and drip coffee. They give u a buzzer tho they ended up delivering it to our table. The cashier was really nice and entertained all my questions about the sandwiches and how they prepared their matcha. (It's not the matcha powder with the sugar already in it, whew! It tasted pretty ceremonial but not sure if it was- added one pack of sugar and sweetness was perfect for me. Just a tad grainy but overall very nice!) Sandwiches were delivered to where we were sitting after 10-15 mins or so. They are huge! And wow i dont normally order sandwiches these days bc i find the meats questionable and not pleasant to eat but this sandwich tasted so fresh. The meat and cheese.. the veggies.. the sourdough bread was cherry in top, nicely toasted with some butter or sauce. I took a half home and it was still tasted good a few hours later. I like how they add chips and the avocado on the side where i can dip the chips and put on my sandwich. My sandwich tasted so fresh with quality ingredients which im so happy about! My partner also enjoyed his tuna melt and coffee.. he said it was huge as each side of the tuna melt had a huge scoop of the tuna salad. Overall, the bustle and service/vibes of this cafe were so enjoyable and all the food so good! Recommend!

Flavorless food. Left half of the El Paso wrap uneaten. Bone found in our chicken soup. And, to boot, had to wait 45 minutes. Positive: friendly entry and (when we saw them) wait staff. But, sadly, this doesn't outweigh the just awful food. Ambiance was fine, but nothing noteworthy.

Happy to report that these days they're always open! The bread is incredible, the pastries delicious, and the sandwiches are high quality too. The crew is constantly churning out replacements for everything, which sells out quickly. Super friendly workers and a great owner. Definitely give it a try!

I sadly can't go here much anymore because it turns out I'm allergic to the glyphosate in wheat…read more (Someone told me that I could probably eat sourdough even though I couldn't eat regular wheat, so I ate a whole flatbread from Luna and broke out in hives. ) My only wish for Luna is that they would make 1 truly great breakfast pastry that is gluten free so I could come here all the time. Their current GF options are either not tasty or not great breakfast items (almond cookie, coconut macaroon and a very hard to eat bread loaf). I know from personal experience with Pamela's GF baking mix just how easy it is to make a delicious chocolate GF banana bread that is just as good as the wheat version. Luna could probably even make one where their wheat eaters wouldn't even notice the difference. Anywho, that is my gf fantasy. In conclusion, if your body can tolerate sourdough, get to Luna! It's divine! If not, you can always get a delicious gluten-free doughnut next door at Matson Ambroise.

Stopped in for the first time today after craving pizza all week and I'm so glad I did. I'd heard…read morethey offer vegan cheese, so I had to check it out. The pizza absolutely delivered and totally satisfied the craving. Cassie was super cool and made the whole experience even better. I love the creative names of the pizzas and the overall theme of the restaurant, such a fun vibe. They even had a great hazy IPA for me to enjoy while I waited. Black olives are my all time favorite topping, and I was stoked they use whole olives instead of slices, such a small detail but it makes a difference. Hands down the best pizza in the desert. I'll definitely be back!

The first bite gives fresh..... from the can. The amount of pepperoni and sauce feels like I'm being rationed. In essence, I got pizza with a sprinkle of toppings and enough sauce to barely classify it as pizza. The Caprese isn't worth the $16 its being sold for. A few cherry tomatoes and some Mozzarella with no basil and some spring mix is wild for that price. While the staff was nice and the environment clean and inviting, I think this may be my last time purchasing "Pizza" from this establishment.

The landscape around it is a hypnotizing blend of desert, mountains, high plains...with towering cacti and rocky terrain that seem to go on forever. It's the perfect setting for those seeking thrills and a taste of the unconventional. As I wandered around the restaurant, inside and outside, I couldn't help but notice the eclectic mix of people who gather here. There were the hardcore adrenaline junkies, decked out in full gear and ready to conquer the next climbing expedition in Joshua Tree. Then you have the nature lovers, clad in earthy tones who seem at peace with themselves and the world (OMMmmmmmmmmmmm.....) and then you have the free spirits (ME ME ME ! hahahaaa) with the interesting hair and carefree attitudes. Overall, Yucca Valley Outpost is a fantastic Food and People Watching destination for anyone looking to break free from the constraints of modern society and experience the world on the "other side"... and before I forget... the food is delicious !

A hidden little Korean spot right before entering Joshua Tree National Park and honestly one of the…read moremost unexpected finds in the desert. From the outside it looks like a total hole-in-the-wall, but the food tasted very authentic and home style, like something comforting you'd eat at someone's house rather than a commercial restaurant. Everything tasted clean, fresh, and not overly salty or greasy. The owner was extremely kind and even brought out complimentary appetizers for us, which made the whole experience feel warm and personal. Service overall was genuinely friendly and welcoming. What made the place even more memorable was the interior filled with plants everywhere inside the restaurant. Kind of ironic and funny considering you're literally about to enter the desert at Joshua Tree, but somehow it made the place feel cozy and relaxing. Definitely one of those random travel food stops that ends up being more memorable than expected.

There is parking at the front so it was very convenient to not have to worry about that. You have to go up to the counter to order your food, and then it is brought to you. The person that was working at the counter was extremely nice. I would definitely give them 5/5 for the service. I ordered bibimbap, short ribs, beef bulgogi, and fried chicken. The short ribs were my favorite. They were very flavorful and well cooked. The bulgogi was also very solid- you can never go wrong with this order. I expected the fried chicken to be more Korean style fried chicken, but it was regular. I would probably stick to the traditional dishes.
