    Avocado toast plus eggs
    Sarah M.

    What a great find while visiting Yucca Valley! Fresh, flavorful food with perfect portion sizes. Friendly and quick service. Lots of healthy options and unique drink choices. I got the chicken bowl and my husband got the avocado toast (eggs added) and we shared the sweet potatoes. I also got a pineapple water which was very refreshing (but does include the pulp of the fruit if that's important for you). Cute spot in a strip with mostly indoor seating (couple of tables outside). Would love something like this close to home but we'd definitely come back when visiting Yucca Valley.

    A relatively healthy eatery with sandwiches, bowls, and burgers. We went on a Tuesday around 10am and it was a bit busy, possibly because of pre-Thanksgiving travel. We got the veggie scramble bowl and the avocado sprout burger. The bowl has a good amount of eggs but mostly beans and rice, with a side of salsa - fairly decent. The avocado sprout burger is fairly solid - we got the sweet potatoes on the side that was mushy and not much flavor though. We also got the butter coffee which was $9 which is insanely expensive, though the drink was fairly unique with coconut oil and ghee inside This is a fast casual restaurant with self serve water so you can be in and out of here in 30 minutes or so. Only one restroom available for customers though

    Yummmm the food here is so delicious it's so flavorful, colorful, and fulfilling. They always have fresh ingredients and tons of homemade drinks. The ambience is amazing with plenty of sitting inside and out. Definitely will be returning. I think it's one of my favorite spots

    The layout here is nice, the service was okay. The food was decent, wish there was a tad bit more flavor in both my chicken bowl/burrito but overall decent meal. They have nice healthy food/drink options here.

    Turkey sandwich. It's good but not worth an hour wait
    S G.

    Crude rude and harsh is the owners misguided response. His own comments solidify he doesn't care and grabs the same tired excuse responses. One grill but it was a turkey sandwich. More staff busy season but takes phone orders when he can't keep up with in person orders. And all else fails tell the customer to go somewhere else and plenty of fast food around his establishment. This place deserves a -10 stars. Over priced mediocre food you wait an hour for.

    Q: what stood out to me the most? A:The knowledgeable staff and how friendly they were with my peculiar questions. With that being said today was my friend's birthday we came into this establishment because we know Yucca Valley is limited on options and of course no we don't want to go to Applebee's and no we don't wanna go to IHOP or blackbear diner not really our forte especially two moms who are getting out without kids for the day for some reason y'all had constantly thrown this place out to me and I would like to say I am grateful I did not know this place existed I did not know where it was but I do plan on coming back to the staff member of the female who is extremely friendly and explain the capers to me thank you so much you were totally right they do have a flavor that is acquired for but I do like that flavor my eggs were cooked perfectly on my sandwich the salmon was so beautifully pink the capers were dripping with an aïoli that was absolutely divine I have never had a sandwich with a perfect crunch and I never can say there was a perfect crunch until today when I bit into that breakfast sandwich being a person who had recently undergone gastric sleeve surgery and then gastric revision surgery I have to say this meal sat very well with me hence the comment so many hours later so not only is the staff friendly not only are they kind and knowledgeable about their products but it's bariatric friendly and a great getaway when you are a mom trying to get some quiet not to say that this place is not kid friendly because I did see a father with his son sitting outside and I thought it was absolutely beautiful but the vibe is so maintained it's so clean the music is just in tuned with how your soul is feeling while being there. Thank you Joshua Tree eatery for coming onto my page on yelp and thank you for giving my girl a great birthday and us a great brunch -waffles_2319

    Absolutely scrumptious. The sourdough breakfast sandwich was super yummy, and all the smoothies we had hit the spot. Everything bagel with cream cheese were also a hit. Cool staff and good music.

    Chorizo Breakfast Burrito

    It is hard to find but worth it! ( it's behind the T - Mobile Store past Cross Country Mortgage - at the end of the building) Place is clean, well lit , service was friendly and food was excellent. It's a gem.

    Veggie Burger side Sweet Potatoes
    Mercy S.

    This place came highly recommended by coworkers. The reviews were very positive and I was really looking forward to my food! I ordered the Veggie Burger, with a side of sweet potatoes. Very fresh and quality ingredients. The food however was pretty bland and flavorless. The sweet potatoes did not have salt or honey. Very disappointing! The service was great! Staff was really friendly and my food was prepared quickly. The ambiance was relaxed and casual. The restaurant is very clean. Overall I would recommend this spot for a quick and casual bite. I will have to come back and order something else and update my review. Give them a try!

    Breakfast Burger!
    Stephen P.

    Perfect little spot for sandwiches/burgers/burritios in the Joshua Tree area!!! It's in a plaza, so there is plenty of parking. The workers are super welcoming and polite. We went for a late breakfast after sleeping in. My wife got the Breakfast Burger, it was excellent! It comes with a grass fed beef patty, topped with a fried egg, bacon, cheese, tomato and mayo, served with breakfast potatoes. All fresh ingredients and a wonderful toasted bun to top it off! Check the photo, it was well worth it. I ordered the Breakfast Bagel, it comes with eggs, spinach, tomato, cheese and mayo, served on your choice of a fresh bagel. This also comes with the side of breakfast potatoes. This sandwich was great! But I definitely was eyeing my wife's breakfast burger the whole time!! All in all this is a solid breakfast/lunch spot if you are in the area. Prices are fair and it has a nice hometown feel. We will definitely be back next time we are visiting JTree.

    Breakfast Burrito

    Was in Joshua Tree for a day and wanted to find something tasty for lunch. Looked up places in nearby Yucca Valley and found The Yucca Tree Eatery. When I come to a brunch place, it's a pretty good bet that I'm going to get something with eggs. Went with the breakfast burrito since it had eggs. Unfortunately for me, this particular breakfast burrito was heavier on the potatoes than the eggs. Regardless, it was a very good breakfast burrito. Bonus points for everything being organic! Service was fine, no complaints from me. Very friendly people here. Worth a visit for sure.

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.

The woman at the counter, whose name I didn't get but who had pink and white striped hair, refused to serve my boyfriend even though the website said the cafe was open, the door sign said the cafe was open, and people were in the cafe itself eating and drinking coffee at a few of the tables. She said the cafe was closed because she was too busy, even though there were only a few people around. When I asked if it was possible to get coffee, she said alright but we should order the drip coffee because she wasn't very good at making anything else. While we sat and drank our coffees, a group of about six women came up and she let them order food and coffee for the group. A man was next in line and she told him the same thing she told my boyfriend: that she was busy and the cafe was closed. This pattern continued. She served women in groups of any size, but men who asked were told that the cafe was closed. This is unacceptable and I will not be returning, however nice the setting.
