I'm from Santa Barbara and they are notorious for overpriced açai bowls. I was pleasantly surprised…read moreto see that they offered a large açai bowl for only one dollar more than the small bowl. I ordered the berry bowl and it offered a cool refreshing taste after some hiking at Joshua tree. They have a very clean restaurant for customers and they have indoor and outdoor seating. A group was pleased with the items we ordered. Only suggestion is to deep clean the indoor tables, in between the cracks of the tables are lots of dried up granola, and it looks a little crusty. Not too appetizing to look at while you're enjoying your bowl.

Why THIS JUICE IT UP deserves a 5 star!?…read more The CUSTOMER SERVICE is to die for! Death by humor. Brah. The Indian dude who rang us up has THE BEST dry humor e-v-e-r. It's rare to meet people with such great sense of humor, confidence and personable characteristics in the retail or food industry! This dude loves being here and you can tell by the way he handles each order! Also he was intuitive so when I asked my friend "should we get one and split it in two?" The guy helping us take the order didn't hesitate to answer, "Yeah we can do that!" This made the process super easy for us. The Vital Protein Blue Smoothie was perfectly balanced in flavor and texture! Also this was a refreshing "appetizer" for our breakfast / lunch on the way to JT Retreat Center because we intended to hit the JT National Park directly after, what sustains more efficiently (prior to a light lunch)? Juice or smoothies of course! Hydration + you're full until your next meal! The location is perfect for us as it's right next to a Starbucks, my crew was able to think through their choices a bit more throughly and opt in for a healthy, world conscious alternative. Though a few went to Starbucks the convenience of Juice It Up being directly next door played a significant role in deciding to go to Juice It Up!

We popped in for a bite at this spot the last couple times we had a desert getaway. Food is solid…read more I like the light healthy choices. We got wraps last time we stopped in, today we ordered a couple BLT's +avocado #delish. We also got the Sabrina Smoothie which is the main reason I'm doing this review. Sooooooo good! The inside is clean with several tables to sit, including a large table for a bigger party. We sat on the small patio and enjoyed the nice May weather with a breeze. We're here for the weekend, so I'll probs be back for another smoothie treat!

The turkey, while good, wasn't freshly carved, which took a little away from the "special" feel. And while the breakfast sando was light and all alone on the plate, the way the mayo fused the flavors together was delicious. But I do wish the beverage fridge had prices listed so I wasn't surprised at the register. The restaurant, while it's a bit tricky to find on the side of a building, inside is a modern space. It's spotless and very clean. The aesthetic is minimalist and if it were just you, it could feel a bit cold, if not for the steady buzz of activity behind the counter. There were three staff members who moved swiftly. As I watched I was impressed with their efficiency as the kept things running smoothly. When we entered an hour before closing, we made the mistake to sit and pause to look over the menu. It was a mistake because it seemed like the front door kept swinging open as wave after wave of hungry visitors poured in. My guess is these folks were all returning from Joshua Tree National Park. In fact, it felt like nearly everyone there had just come from the park. The business concept appears thoughtfully geared toward travelers, particularly those with a bit of disposable income and a discerning palate. Overall, this is a certified foodie stop: quality over quantity: taste over filling up.

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 !

How has I never been here? Granted it doesn't have a lot of curb appeal and the inside isn't fancy…read more Order at the counter and they bring you your food. Sandwiches, salads, drinks. But, they know how to cook! The Vegan BLT and the Tuna Melt were near perfect (and I have had my fair share of both). Good bread, good mayo, good "bacon", flavorful tuna, good cheese, heirloom tomatoes.... Seriously, you will not find better, anywhere. So if driving through 29 Palms, do yourself a favor and grab a bite. Oh and the store next door has some hipster cute stuff, too. Enjoy!

The gym manager demanded I come in person, or mail a letter along with my medical documents as proof in order to receive a refund or to process my cancellation. I have tried informing them over the phone that what they are doing is illegal. I do not have the ability to come in person or go to the post office. They should have accepted the hand delivered letter my father tried to deliver. They don't care. They refuse to process my cancellation continuously. There are multiple accounts of them doing this to other customers online. This can't continue.

I was in need of a natural juice for hydration and cleanse and saw this shop on Yelp. Since I was down the street charging my work laptop at the Public Library, it was perfect for the short distance and parking. Inside, it's like any other juice shop, and the young man who took and made my order was really nice. He had pride in his work, too. That's the highest compliment I can give. I had an issue with a tooth amidst a root canal at the time, so he avoided using ice to prevent any problems. Given the heat outside, it would have been better, but better safe than sorry is a good maximum. The fruit was fresh and all flavors merged well. I drank it too quickly perhaps, but it quenched my thirst and need for nutrition.

I drive frequently to Phoenix to see family from California and this time on my return I said I'm definitely stopping. If you are exiting the 10 freeway at Morongo Valley Road which I think is the exit going west, that traffic circle to get to all the restaurants, etc. including Hadley's is a little treacherous so be patient Once you turn right, you can just pull right into their parking lot. It's a beautiful store that also has a café/ice cream. You will go in to get your shake and enter the ice cream shake line. It's stanchion off. There's a separate café line for people that I want to order food I ordered a large date shake. It doesn't come with whipped cream and it's already premade fresh out of a machine. The male order to take her/manager was super friendly and very thankful I stopped by after I mentioned I hadn't been here in a while. It's very genuine. But as I was walking away from the counter with my seven dollar shake, which was well worth it I heard somebody order a chocolate date shake. I didn't even know that was an option. I'm not even sure I saw it on the menu, but I think I would try that next time. The date shake was creamy and sweet. You can definitely taste and see the dates inside the mix. And then went into the store and picked up some chocolate covered dates as well as some fresh organic lines. I actually found the price is overall very reasonable especially for an off-road/touristy type of a place. Plenty of parking out front. The cashiers are super friendly. The location was very clean. I honestly would stop on the way back. They had tons of gifts, fresh fruits, and vegetables, snacks water sandwiches probably everything that you would want on a roadside visit. And it's easy access back onto the 10 W.

THE BEST DATE SHAKES! If you're passing up Hadley's you're making the biggest mistake of your life…read more I should be coming more often, but life gets the best of me sometimes. Hadley's is esteemed in the Inland Empire for its regular and vegan date shakes. I bought a couple of vegan shakes for my Mom and I during this trip. I swear the quality of the vegan shakes are just as good or better than the traditional shakes. I'm never disappointed! Once we got our shakes we took a trip around the grocery store side of the property. The store is farmer-chic with a modern look. Popcorn is available for sale on the way out, perfect for a rainy day. There's all sorts of groceries here, meats, specialty bakery items, wine, etc. if you're looking for souvenirs, they have them too! Service is always solid, the staff are professional and quick. I've never had an issue here. Hadley's gets a massive recommendation from me!

Colin, you rock! Thank you for making our first time here a memorable one! The food is phenomenal! Literally the best poke I have ever had. I had the Cabo bowl and my husband had the Krakatoa bowl. Both were super loaded with ahi tuna, crunch, and lots of flavor. We also had a desert that Colin brought out for us and recommended and I can't remember what it was called but it was so delicious and unique. The decor and structure of this restaurant is part of what makes it a 5 star. As soon as you're walking up you enter through the legendary shark mouth and then immerse yourself is the tropical aromas as soon as you walk inside. There is a mixture of tiki/colorful and ethnic decor everywhere that makes you feel like you're in Hawaii and Mexico at the same time. We sat in the outside patio because we really wanted the beautiful lake view but the the inside is so much cooler! Strongly recommend anyone coming here. It's a guaranteed good time and some of the best food you've ever had!
