The Yucca Tree Eatery

Stopped here before hiking in Joshua Tree NP. It's pretty close to the west entrance to the national park. It's got a decent amount of seating, but it was a little cold. There was one person manning the counter, making the drinks, and waiting on the tables, so the service was a tad slow. I'm not entirely sure of the names of the dishes we ordered, but the food was good. I got a smoothie and a Hamburger and side salad. Other than the nitpicks, I don't have any big complaints!

It’s been a while since I’ve written a review upon returning from Europe so here goes. I was seeking the warmth of the southwest and was looking for a healthy option instead of the usual chain restaurants. This locally owned eatery is worth your visit. I was going to order a chicken bowl but when I approached the counter they had the turkey avocado special. I ordered it and it was fantastic. The cashier and the cooking staff(likely the owner) all greeted me with smiles.

Food was excellent and fairly priced. I ordered a chicken bowl at 1028 am on Saturday, and got it at 1054 am... a 26 minute wait, so cant give a perfect 5. Good, fresh, healthy food takes awhile, so be prepared. All the staff were very cheerful and pleasant. I'll be back, Im sure.

The cafe was pretty busy on a Friday morning 🌄 (day after Thanksgiving) Only one cashier/server (two cooks) Food was very good and reasonably priced I think adding one more staff member (to help serve/clean tables in-between customers coming and going) would benefit them greatly 🙂

The burger I ordered is genuinely the best burger I think I’ve ever had, the one with sprouts and avocado. It’s a very unsuspecting, humble looking place but man it was like really, really good for some reason. Love that the options are balanced and healthier too, and prices were pretty fair. Workers were super nice and attentive as well.
