Luna Bakery

This place was a recommendation from my friend that we stopped at in Yucca Valley on the way to Joshua Tree. I’m glad we stopped but was surprised by how expensive everything was. The loaf of bread that we got was fresh and delicious and lasted us basically the whole weekend so despite its steep price ($14) I was very glad we got it. They cut it into slices for us there! The sandwiches we ordered were good but not worth over $20 each. I would definitely come back here and try their pastries and other breads the next time we’re in Joshua Tree, but unfortunately cannot justify the sandwich prices again. Vibes were cute though and the staff was nice, and I would definitely recommend Luna Bakery for their bread!

What a surprise! I went to pick up sourdough bread, appropriate for a large dinner Salad at a vegetarian friends house tonight. They had lovely rolls that were light on density and crunch needless to say I was thrilled. When I got there, I envisioned I was getting a loaf of French bread, I am from San Francisco. I do understand what sourdough bread is. To my disappointment, everything was sold off the racks. But he had the rolls and he had some focaccia which would’ve been lovely if I was having a pasta or soup dish. he assured me that those rolls will be light and fluffy. So i purchased six of them. And then decided to get the cherry danish that the gentleman in front of me got. And boy what a treat. I want to add that I’ve been there a few times before and with great disappointment miss

Do yourself a favor and stop by this absolute gem. Pricey but truly the best sourdough pastries I’ve ever had. Dying to come back and try their sandwiches- they look amazing. Make sure to check out their website to see the times that each baked good comes fresh out of the oven for an even tastier experience. It’s a tiny place so there are only a few tables to eat at in store and know that they only have drip coffee. Got the pain au chocolaté and the cardamom bun which was some of the most intense perfect cardamom flavor had in a pastry. Make sure to stop by next time you’re in Yucca Valley!

It was a little over $7 for 1 cheese Danish. Absolutely worth every penny. The Danish was flaky and buttery and the cheese was perfectly sweetened...not too much not too little. Thr service was great! The woman behind the counter was happy to answer all of my questions and I never felt rushed even though there was a line. I was inquiring about the pizza dough they had and she actually ended up giving me one to try, free of charge! I have heard that this place does sell out fairly quickly which says a lot! I would absolutely recommend giving Luna Bakery a try if you can.

I was just passing through and thought I'd give it a whirl. Holy smokes, I'm so glad I did. This is world class baking artistry tucked away in a little high desert town. I came to see a show at Pappy and Harriet's, but you know what? I'd book a room and come back here, from another state, just to indulge myself at this bakery and no other reason. Yeah, it's that good. If you are a protein lover, have no fear. You can get a king's portion to compliment your carbs... Just order the smoked salmon sandwich. I also tried the almond croissant, and the sour cherry pastry. 5 stars all the way, baby! The coffee is delicious too.
