***4 stars for the ambience, interesting menu items, and a very nice staff!…read moreHowever, I got up with my friend and politely left. Well, you see the website has false information. For example, on the website it states: "Menu provided by the owner" and the pricing is from 47 years ago apparently? For example, a vegetarian sandwich was listed at $8.00 is actually $18.00 (which makes sense in today's market) BUT, that's such a huge difference it was just disconcerting and a wee bit off putting. We felt caught in some kind of "VORTEX" like a time warp or something. It just threw us off base. The staff numbers were very kind when I expressed my concern but they had a weak response. It apparently happens all the time, which is understandable. In retrospect, I should've known the prices couldn't be that low but it just felt a little "snakeoily". But DAMN their food looks good! I guess I'll have to wear a disguise the next time I visit, ha ha!

Looking for lunch in the area we came across Crossroads, after being directed to the website it was…read moredetermined crossroads would be great without breaking the bank. On line most of the menu items were 8 to 10 dollars but at the table those same items are 18 to 20 dollars. We decided to go to The Saloon, prices were about the same but at least it felt honest.

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.

From the welcoming atmosphere to the friendly patrons and easily customizable menu items, it was one of the highlights of my weekend in Desert Hot Springs. The drunken noodles and eggplant dish were my favorites, spicy and flavorful. I made the mistake of ordering my yellow curry medium hot, and it was too mild for me, but it was hearty and filling, loaded with vegetables and tofu. The large portions and fantastic flavors had me coming back a second time in 2 days, just to try more. I hope to come back and experience more of the menu.

I enjoyed lunch here on Monday. This cafe has improved greatly since my last visit…read more I ordered the Black Bean Walnut Burger Sandwich on a freshly made Ciabatta roll with an excellent side salad of crisp fresh greens, grape tomatoes, cucumber, onion, carrots, and hearts of palm with a creamy light dressing, and a perfect pickle spear. It was REALLY good!! My companion ordered the Chicken Sandwich on Ciabatta Roll and salad like mine. Both plates excellent. The ambiance of the cafe is much nicer now. They have added more comfortable upholstered seating, and the lighting is improved. They seemed understaffed, but our server was attentive, friendly, and our meals arrived quickly. Overall the menu offerings here are high quality, fresh, and likely the healthiest menu in Desert Hot Springs. The menu offers many vegetarian options. But they haven't sacrificed taste here. It is a gem.

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!

$38 for two sandwiches and two canned drinks. We tried the turkey avocado special and a sourdough…read morebreakfast sandwich. 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.
