Frontier Cafe is one of those rare high desert spots that sits right in the middle of one of the…read morebest little shopping stretches in Yucca Valley and still feels easy and local. 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.

The Tiny Pony is one of our favorite spots in Yucca Valley. It's a quirky local bar and restaurant…read morewith a super-fun vibe--black velvet paintings, funky décor, and quite possibly the biggest disco ball I've ever seen. It also boasts some of the best views of Shoe City, conveniently located right across the street. The food is unique and delicious, and they're always mixing things up with weekly specials and creative dishes. It has that perfect combination of great food, a laid-back local feel, and just enough weird desert charm to make it memorable. Definitely one of our go-to places in Yucca Valley.

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.

We missed our reservation time but decided to try a walk in because it was the whole reason we came into town in the first place. We were greeted by two really nice hosts who assured us there was room for us sooner than later and we were seated with our dog on the patio pretty quickly. They were so nice to us and doubly nice to our dog! We ordered fried eggplant, gazpacho, ceviche, a lamb burger, and got a lamb burger patty for the dog (we're not order food for the dog people but she was going through it too with the Walmart stuff so why not). We added a couple glasses of wine and their beer shandy and finished with a strawberry shortcake. Every bite was perfect but we rated them- Gazpacho, Lamb Burger, Eggplant, Ceviche. The gazpacho was a hit with the perfect amount of fresh/sweet cantaloupe and spicy-ness. This place was well worth the trip from Big Bear. My wife noted that everyone there that helped us legit looked happy to be there. There was also a medical emergency and the staff was so kind and helpful throughout and checked in on all the tables in the area afterwards. It kind of showed that they are invested in the people that visit.

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.

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!

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.

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.
