“ AMAZING! Love the food here and the people are great as well. Stopped in for lunch and I must say it’s very tasty! The Turkey bacon wrap is the best I’ve ever had! The albacore tuna on sourdough is so bomb! This place is a must stop and enjoy!!! ”
“ I wanted to buy all of the takeaway foods. Everything looked appetizing and fresh. Great location and easy enough parking. Love all the offerings. Great stop to grab stuff to take in the park with you for lunch. So many savory and sweet options and I want to try them all. I was delighted to see items to put together a little charcuterie board. Pricing was fair. ”
“ I usually love this place but the quiche I got this morning was not edibleThe pastry dough was completely raw inside. I’ll keep coming back because I love their other dishes, but the quiche is a hard pass! ... ”
“ Glad to have found this place while in Joshua Tree as I didn’t want the typical burger/homestyle offerings. The counter staff was helpful in making my selection and brought it to my table on an ironware plate with metal flatware. I highly recommend the Lentil/Hummus pita! The ingredients were fresh and plentiful with great flavor. The staff were pleasant and suggested other areas to visit during my stay in CA. The coffee was strong but not bitter and the cookie was just the right size with lots of chocolate chips. ”
“ Perfect spot to pick up sandwiches and wraps to take into Joshua Tree NP. Tasty food, conveniently located on 62 and opens early enough you can stop on your way in for the day. We ended up grabbing lunch provisions here twice, and everything was great. Highly recommend the chickpea wrap! ”
“ Absolutely one of the nicest experiences I had at Joshua Tree. The lady said she really appreciated how politely I asked. I told her my name was Jeff, and she put me down as 'King Jeff'. And although I can't prove it, I feel like these sandwiches we bought were made with extra love. So yeah. I recommend this place. ”
“ The food is delicious, specifically the turkey pesto sandwich. Although some of the items are overpriced, the staff is amiable and patient. ”
“ Nice sandwiches. No dine-in option. The store is pretty small, so you might have to wait out in the heat. ”
