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!

So when were in Yucca Valley during my wife's birthday, she wanted to go to see what was available in the 'Aisle of Shame' at this location...found two unique hooks that she's been looking for, along with clothes hangers. The store is well organized and well stocked. Of course, there were many things that were new, and I ended up buying quite a few food items to take back home. -- Grande Alberone Moscato (on sale for $7.99, Was $9.99). Very good, super easy to drink. Should become our new go-to NYE sparkling wine, if we can find it. -- on the opposite end, winking owl wine now comes in 3 liter boxes (comparable to 4 bottles) for $12.95. Supposedly will keep for 30 days after opening? -- Alcohol cheddar varieties for $1.99. Got craft beer cheddar (imperial stout) and purple moon cheddar (petite sirah). Continues to amaze me how inexpensive fresh strawberries are at Aldi's in california, even in the desert. A clamshell 16oz was $2.49, and they looked like good quality.

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.

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.

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 !

It was delicious. It was a banh mi sandwich that is not just one of those, "It's good for a small town," but really genuinely good and well-prepared. The sandwich was about $13, if memory serves. Whatever sauce they had on it was also delicious, and the sandwich was filling. The restaurant is a very large, airy, comfortable space in back of Rite Aid and Aldi, and is a pleasant space. The place also has coffee, bagels, croissants, bagel sandwiches, poke, and pho, along with numerous kinds of tea (milk tea, Thai tea, Matcha tea). The pho and bagels I saw other people eating looked delicious. The people who worked there were very friendly.

They also forgot the bag of bean sprouts/lime/cilantro/jalapeños for the second bowl of pho. But, with only two pho spots in the high desert, can beggars be choosers?

Came with pickled onions, a pickled jalapeño half and lemon. They were covered in a most delicious salsa and spicy too. They're piled high on 2 street taco sized tortillas each. So much I easily split them and made 4 tacos. I also had the freshly made chicharrones with the same spicy salsa. I believe it's habanero based. The place has great atmosphere. Diner on one side and dive bar looking on the other side. The diner side is dark and dimly lit, it's really cool looking. And they have different retro radios sitting on each diner table.

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.

There's a lot of little trinkets. It reminded me of going to childhood parties and getting the little favors inside the pinatas or inside the party bags. They have a smaller selection of snacks/desserts/foods but their main attraction is wines. I'm not sure if I would go in here looking for something specific. I think you come in here willing to let the store tell you what it is you need. Just go in there to browse and see what you end up leaving with.
