I am staying at the nearby High Desert Motel for about 13 days, and since I arrived in Joshua Tree…read morea few days ago, I have visited this store at least once or twice per day, at the very least, to procure essentials such as rolls of paper towels, one gallon jugs of spring water, containers of rice pudding and flan, frozen burritos, and other food items. Interestingly, this shop also sells fresh watermelons, a great rarity at this time of year, and, in fact, it is the only venue in Joshua Tree at which I have seen watermelons for sale -- and I have definitely NOT seen watermelons offered at any other store, nor even at the natural foods store, nor at the Saturday morning farmer's market! BTW, the prices at this shop for the types of items that I mentioned above are very fair and reasonable for the fact that this is a small grocery store in a small desert town. I should also mention that each of the staffers at the counter with whom I have dealt have always been friendly and helpful. I must note that a number of other reviewers have mentioned the store's offerings of bottled liquor and its great assortment of craft and artisan beers, but I simply cannot comment on any of those offerings, since I do not drink alcohol (it is not a moralistic thing; it just does not interest me...!). So, my review is probably one of the very few reviews here that do NOT rave about the liquor products and craft and artisan beer products sold here! You will just have to get over that fact! Finally, I should also mention that when I visit this store, I am often accompanied by colleagues and clients who are also temporarily visiting the town, and they have all told me that they are very impressed by the range of offerings in this shop!

Absolutely terrible customer service tonight…read more I've been coming to this market for years and have spent plenty of money here, but after tonight I seriously question why. Around 7 PM on May 14, 2026, the woman working the register couldn't even do the bare minimum of acknowledging a customer. After buying a beer from HER register, I asked twice for a bag because my hands were full and I was trying to safely hold my son's hand in the parking lot. She completely ignored me both times and went right back to staring at her phone like customers who spend money were an inconvenience. Not even a "sorry," not even a "we don't have bags." Just rude, lazy, dismissive behavior. Meanwhile the parking lot right outside the door is a mess with people whipping into parking spaces, and I'm standing there trying to carry everything while making sure my son doesn't get hit by a car. The lack of basic awareness or decency was unbelievable. If this is the kind of customer service this place now allows, longtime customers clearly don't matter anymore. Management should probably spend less time letting employees play on their phones and more time teaching basic respect and professionalism.

They even carry some products I previously bought at the bigger natural food chains, but that were discontinued, forcing me to order online, so I was stoked to see that! If you don't know exactly what products you want, the staff will happily help with recommendations, but they will also never intrude when you're on a mission or just want to browse. They can also special order items at times, so be sure to ask if you don't find exactly what you want. They have a really solid variety of organic, all-natural, specialty diet, bulk bin dry goods, local products and international foods, and range from ingredients for making your food from scratch, as well as canned items, refrigerated products and boxed meals and mixes. They also sell 5 varieties of Joshua Tree Roasters coffee beans, which saves me an extra stop when I'm running errands! Sue's is a fantastic local gem and the Morongo Basin is lucky to have such a great shop!

Glad I did - the sun is strong even in December! Staff members were friendly and helpful - one person directed me to the sun block. I bought a tube from the Seaweed Bath Co., thinking that it seemed a bit pricey at around $20 but then checked online and saw that it's $19 direct from the manufacturer. I looked around the store and saw some interesting products that I'd never seen before, like mycelium-based bacon (MyBacon). Some items seem overpriced (olive oil) but others (Sappo Hill or Dr. Bronner's soap) are very reasonable. I'm giving Joshua Tree Health Foods 5/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following: * Large selection of bulk ingredients, from nuts and flour to herbs and spices. * Almost all of the items stocked in bulk were organic. * When I looked at specific products, like bar soap, the brands in stock were among the most ethical. * A large amount of vegan items on sale such as Nuts for Cheese and Violife dairy. * Inclusive business where all are welcome.
