    Strawberry Fields
    Alyssa A.

    We had talked about coming on our last trip to Joshua Tree but couldn't make it. Super stoked to make it on our most recent trip because this place is great. Loved the vibes. Very minimal seating inside, but wide open seating outside. Really brings in the JT feels. We came for breakfast, so the weather was still really nice to sit outside. Imagine it would get hot during the day, especially during the summer. Limited breakfast menu, but I love it because you don't need a lot of items to be delicious. Their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich was fire. Perfect start to the morning. Got some breakfast cocktails to go with it. Really enjoyed their Strawberry Fields. Wasn't sure how the tequila would go with it, but it all meshed together really well. Surprisingly refreshing? But delicious. We also really enjoyed their Maritime Martini. They allow dogs outside, so our little boy lived his best life. Also have a photo booth for purchase, which was fun to use. Would definitely be fun to come here at night or during one of their events. Highly recommend stopping by for a visit.

    It's a cute spot to take photos. They serve coffee and drinks (cocktails) there's a sign that says you must be 21 to enter but it wasn't enforced. We got the banana iced coffee, it was refreshing and much needed after a long day of hiking. It did not taste of banana at all and it was made with oat milk which isn't my personal favorite but I didn't read the sign thoroughly, that's on me. I would recommend stopping by if you want iced coffee, not special but not bad at all.

    The vibes here are on point! Everything from the decor inside, to the rap music playing, to the photo booth and merch sold was on point. The matcha and coffee were incredibly delicious and they have a great outdoor area to hang out. They were having a 29 Loaves pop up today so it was awesome to try another local business! Would recommend anyone visiting Joshua tree to come here, it was my favorite stop by far!

    I visited Mas o Menos on a Saturday afternoon for a late breakfast after strolling through the Joshua Tree Farmers Market. Parking was easy with the lot right next to the cafe. I loved the upbeat & social ambiance--there was even live music from DJs. I got the banana bread matcha, which had a great flavor, but just didn't taste much like a banana bread. Most of my friends got the breakfast burritos & coffee drinks. One of my friends also ordered the baba ganoush & chips, which we all enjoyed. I appreciated that they had a photobooth, which was a fun touch. We would love to revisit in the evening to explore their cocktail menu!

    If you're in Joshua Tree I DEFINITELY recommend coming here whether it's for coffee/matcha or cocktails! The staff and vibes are both very welcoming and it feels like a vacation here! It also makes for great photos and you can take a photobooth pic too! Their matcha was a bit milky but still great!

    This coffee shop was such a cute vibe! It had a cute patio area along with a photo booth. If we got the chance it would've been nice to visit during the cocktail hours because their matcha lemonade was delicious! It wasn't overly sweet and the matcha flavor really pulled through with the lemonade. I also got an espresso shot over ice which was a little sour but it was very busy so i'll give it some leeway. Service was quick and efficient as it had a line out the door. would love to come visit again.

    The people here at más o menos are so kind! My boyfriend and I stopped by on the way home from our trip to get some coffee and food. I got my usual, an espresso tonic, which I'd give a personal food rating of 9/10! It was a Friday afternoon and it was a little busy so we didn't get to use the photo booth but hope to come back soon to check it out. This is a great place with ample seating inside and outside to get a coffee break. Everything looks so aesthetic. Will be back soon!

    Espresso Martini
    Noemi S.

    I fell for the hype. This place is cute, I will say that part is enticing. I went online and saw this place had many great reviews. I personally think the wait for the coffee wasn't really worth the price or taste. I got an espresso martini and for it being a coffee shop I really wasn't too impressed. I mainly went here because my husband is an avid coffee enthusiast and he also wasn't really into his drink. This place is cute for photo ops and my favorite part was probably the Photo Booth outside. Great place to mark of the bucket list as far as presentation it's a beautiful spot but if I come back maybe I'll have to ask what their best drink on the menu is. Overall the staff if great, friendly and we got our drinks pretty quick once we ordered.

    Sarah H.

    Such a fun spot! There was a little pop up smash burger company there which was awesome since there isn't food! The drinks were absolutely delicious and the space is so fun! There was a DJ as well

    The cutest stop on the way to Joshua Tree!!! Took a trip last weekend to Joshua Tree and I never fail to be on the hunt for matcha. Especially good matcha. My friend picked a random spot on maps to try and we were pleased as it was our first stop before entering the park. The parking was simple and it was easy to find since it was in the middle of the desert, it wasn't overly busy when we got there but filled up by the time we left which was around noon! If you love to take aesthetic pictures, have a cocktail or a matcha, make sure to stop on your way there or back. They have the cutest vibe inside and out, a back patio with options to be shaded or not, a super cute bathroom and a Photo Booth!! The strips are $6/2 and I was able to add in some banana bread syrup to my matcha which made me enjoy it even more. We didn't get a chance to sit at the bar since it wasn't what we were going for before a hike but I'd come back just to get a drink. It is 21+ and there was a mix of people dressed super cute and aesthetic but also some hikers like myself who just wanted a quick coffee!

    Great cocktails and a vibey place full of influences but the brunch food leave much more to be desired. Recommend going here in the evening or if there is an event going on. I ended up getting a Bloody Maria that was great but their Italian Sandwich was dry and just very plain. The breakfast burrito is decent though with soyrizo and scrambled eggs. Lots of parking and off the main highway here.

    Banana oat milk latte
    Andrea A.

    Came here for breakfast. Loved the banana latte. The breakfast was good too. It's advertised as grab and go but took longer than expected.

    Aiden L.

    Super friendly staff welcomed us in immediately and rescued us from the scorching sun. Their drinks are super refreshing and great prices. The interior and exterior are also decorated beautifully and fit in perfect with the desert environmental. Definitely worth giving your business to.

    Okay, being totally honest, this wasn't the absolute best food of our entire Joshua Tree-Palm…read moreSprings trip, but a close 2nd. BUT it was definitely the biggest, most positive surprise when it came to expectations vs. actual quality! We landed in Palm Springs late in the evening and were starving on our way out to Joshua Tree. After a quick Yelp search for something open past 7-8pm, this spot popped up. We pulled into a super quiet parking lot and found this tiny little place. Looking at it from the outside, we honestly figured it would just be a quick, forgettable pitstop. Boy, were we wrong. For starters, the place was relatively full for a Tuesday evening! We ordered the duck confit nachos, the kimchi bulgogi sandwich, and the pony wings. Wow! Granted, our expectations were unfairly low walking in, but this turned out to be probably our second-best meal of the entire week--and we ate out every single day! It absolutely crushed it in terms of exceeding expectations. It also helped that we happened to be there on a Wednesday, so all the wines were half-priced! Unfortunately, since we weren't familiar with the area, we didn't know exactly how much further we had to drive to our accommodations, so we couldn't imbibe more in such a welcoming environment. (Missed opportunity, but safety first!) Oh, and definitely save room for dessert--their pie with ice cream of the day was delicious too! If you are passing through, do not sleep on this place. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in the area!

There is a dog friendly patio so we sat out back with our pups and ordered them puppy patties. Service was ok; since we were in the patio and it was a holiday they were super busy so it was understandable that we had to wait quite awhile for things (drinks, check, etc). But they servers all worked together and were nice. They grat parties of 5 an automatic 20%, but it's on the menu so be be mindful of that. The food was not bad. They had a special BBQ menu for the 4th, but didn't have the jalpeno cornbread so we went another direction. We ordered a $5 mimosa and the pretzel bites with BOMB queso and split the smashburger. All were awesome. My friends ordered the chicken sandwich and absolutely RAVED about how good it was!! Overall, this place is awesome and we can't wait to go back and sit at the very lively bar and watch some sports!

Thirty of us (reasonable adults age 50+, many meeting for the first time) booked 5 separate OpenTable reservations to get acquainted before a birthday party the next day. Each table had its own reservation with enough seats for everyone. Throughout the evening, staff were quick to tell us 'that's not how we do things here' without offering much of an explanation of how things are actually done. This came up regarding more than two people standing at the host stand for their reservation (they eventually pointed us to a patio, which they could have just done from the get-go), our multiple reservations (the only difference between us and any other table is that we had a shared reason for being there), and when we asked if we could evenly split a check across more than one credit card at a table of 8. The policies themselves were fine, the tone however was condescending. We also understand outside food fees (one of us brought a box of cupcakes in honor of the birthday), but charging each table a $25 "cake fee" when cupcakes were only consumed at one table felt excessive. We had high hopes for a place we were excited to visit. We hope they refine their approach for future guests.

I wanted to clink glasses with locals who could tell me about the fun and flaw of growing up in a small town. And I figured that local dive bars would allow me to check off my hopes. Plus, the word on the street was that the Virginian was a local haunt for marines. I wanted to party with marines. Spoiler alert: I did--and it added an extra layer of crisp and pop to my night. On my first night, I went there, by my lonesome, and I was surprised to know that it was a cash-only establishment. This worked to my favor because I did not want to drink too much and then go to my hotel. I did not aim to get a DUI, I just wanted to have fun. When I go alone to a bar, I have a primary objective: to find friends to drink with and talk to. Especially on vacation, I wanted to find an experience that would lead me to a "hangover-like night." I know it might be impossible, for sure, but that does not impede me from trying. And when one tries, one might be successful. I was. I went to put my name on the chalkboard to eventually play pool. I gathered around the others who were waiting for pool. I quickly made friends with a marine. He was not the marine I had my eye on, but he was the one who entertained my advances. Soon after, we went to the bar to get him a drink. One for me too. We were getting shots. The wait was long-loving for it gave him and me the opportunity to connect. Let's call him Lalo. He told me about life as a marine. I told him about my life. He told me that he had found a girl--now his fiancée--on an app called Chispa. Basically, a dating app for Latinx people. I did not think he had found a fiancée, but rather a person he could fall in love with. He was young, you see, and love for marriage seems to be a long game best played by those who are at least in their mid-twenties. Regardless, I will root for those two crazy kids. As we drank and grew closer, Lalo and I just became friendlier and friendlier, which led to friendly hugs. On one particular long and gripping hug, I uttered, "This feels so nice, Lalo." His reply was, "I am glad, Frankie, I am glad." My chosen name is Frankie. His words comforted me because they sounded sincere, and words I had not heard before, within this context. Here in the middle of a desert, I had found comfort in the arms of a marine. I never thought I would, but like I said, I tried, and I was happy to be successful. Soon one of his friends came and requested to leave. Lalo did. I was irked. I wanted him to stay with me for a few more drinks at the Virginian. It did not happen. I got lucky, but my luck did not extend the night. But I did get lucky the next night. I went again after my day at Joshua Tree. It was a Saturday night. The place was full but not so full that it was overwhelming. I saw three young men sitting. There was a stool next to one. They had the build and essence of marines. So, I sat next to one. And again, I made a quick friend. He was from South Dakota. I can't remember his name, so let's call him James. James introduced me to his two friends. One was from the same town I grew up in. Happy coincidence. James and I spoke. He was kind enough to get me a glass of water. The service of the armed forces rings high and small. They were taking shots, one after the other, without restraint. One of James's friends stepped outside and puked. The bartender reprimanded them. He gave them a mop to clean their own mess. Wow, this would not happen in an LA bar, I thought. The marines were put to work. James took the mop and finished for his friend. The bartender inspected the mess and green-lit for them to go. Again, I wanted a marine to stay for my own selfish needs. He did not. He grew and gave me a smile as he went. This bar is a local haunt, but great for visitors. So, if you go to Joshua Tree or a nearby town, don't be shy and stop in here for local color. I got to see small-town vibes at play. It was great, and I met my own personal goal of partying with marines. The Virginian may not be sophisticated, but it is a place to have fun and engage in a way that feels homey yet exciting. Please remember it is cash only but it has ATMs. If you use credit cards, to get by at times, then skip this place.
