I often stop in for pre made sandwiches or salads. I like the roast beef with horseradish sandwich. Very quick, easy, fresh, and reasonably priced. Nice people who work there. Not a dine in place but that's ok. read more

Great service and great food. From the moment we entered an employee let us know they could make whatever wasn't in the cooler. That meant to me everything was fresh. And it was and delicious! We ate here more than any place else on our month visit. read more

Grave disappointment today. For all the years we've been going there, they have sweetly accommodated our requests for making sandwiches slightly different from those premade. Today, we called in for a simple roast beef sandwich order and the clerk said "oh, we don't do that," suggesting we were stuck with the pre-mades on their shelf. "We don't"? "We always did before." We turned around and went to Von's, which will make what we want, and with pleasant attitude. Very disappointing. Very. read more

Genius concept for this area! Incredibly well executed! Hot selections and sooooo many cold selections. Loves: Breakfast sandwiches, Chia pudding, potato salad, roast beef chimichurri sandie, Needs work: Thai noodle salad, how annoying the traffic flow is- the customers themselves were kinda rude, awkwardly in the way, it was strange. Overall incredibly fresh, healthy and with high end flavors offered. Little pricey but you get what you pay for. Will definitely be repeat customers this area badly needed this business! read more

Simply the BEST! The sandwiches and cookies are to die for! The owner Rosa is the sweetest person you would ever like to meet and she makes the most delicious food with love. Highly recommend!! read more

The team at Roadrunner are fantastic!! The food is delicious and fresh and when I was in a bind today at 730 am and ordered 35 box lunches to be ready in 90 minutes and they did it!! So grateful!! read more

Perfect for grabbing some quick bites to bring into the park with you if you didn't have a chance to make anything. The food is healthy, premade, and conveniently located right next door to the JT visitor center. read more

Roadrunner Grab+Go - Vegetarian Sandwich with Grilled Peppers, Cucumbers, Greens and Cheese - Delis Near Me - Joshua Tree, California

Needed a little something to tide us over and this was the perfect healthy snack to literally grab and go. Prime convenient location right next to the visitors center. The kale salad was tasty with a great dressing. The egg salad sandwich has a nice flavor with a crunch of onion, but the bread was a little dried out. And the vegan chocolate chip cookies with salt on top were the perfect finishing touch. I recommend and will return again. read more

Really expensive sandwiches, but they're not bad. I got the dirty iced chai and it was so unbearable to drink :/ it tasted very strong; like Arabic or Turkish coffee. I wasn't able to finish it unfortunately. This is a convenient place before entering the national park but I would suggest packing your own food before heading out there. read more

The service was pretty bad. Felt like they were bothered to have customers. Yelled/screamed at each person who tried to use AMEX. The coffees were OK, but for someone who usually gets 1/2 sweetened, their regular amount of vanilla wasn't cutting it and they wanted to charge more since they "already put TWO PUMPS!!!" (They screamed that too) read more

Merrilee and her buisness partner opened up this adorable grab and go early October 2020. We found it due to all the healthier lunch options around closing earlier. My friends and I were so pleased with the food and service that we returned twice within our quick escapade. I remember having a Mediterranean wrap which was divine, great ingredients, made with love, care and delicious hummus. We thoroughly enjoyed the egg salad, and Parmesan Kale salad with a lemon juice and olive oil vinaigrette. You'll find the food is simple, which is what makes it so great. Ultra nourishing with no compensation to the quality and flavor. We swooped up some locally produced honey which I've been savoring since our last trip to Joshua Tree. My other favorite finds were the locally roasted salted peanuts and dried fruits. The coffee beverages were also fantastic, I intend on returning each time I go to Joshua Tree, this place is an oasis of good eats. read more

Small little store to stop in and get unique items from Joshua Tree. The sandwiches are really good. The staff is amazing! I highly reccomend. read more

This place is amazing! And it's so convenient since it like by the park's entrance. The owner was super sweet and even had a conversation with us. They had a bunch of snacks and sandwiches to take into the park! The sandwich were really big and you can tell they make them constantly throughout the day. They were even nice enough to to give us a bit of ice for our mini ice chest to keep our sandwiches cool. They also have sandwiches options for vegetarians! read more

Roadrunner Grab+Go - I got the turkey sandwich. I loved that they included everything on the sandwich on the package. - Delis Near Me - Joshua Tree, California

Great place for a quick stop for a sandwich or drink. We stopped on our way out of town and it was perfect :)

Great little shop with lots of great choices to pick up before you head into Joshua Tree National Park. I was expecting "gas station" type food but was way off, delicious sandwiches, nice beverage selection and great/fast service. read more

Beautiful spot right next to the Joshua tree visitor center; only a couple steps away. They have delicious food and drinks of all kinds. Recommend stocking up here before you head into the park as this will be your last chance for a grab and go spot read more

Great place to grab a sandwich for a picnic in the park. We both enjoyed the Italian but all the sandwiches looked phenomenal.

It is right next to the Joshua Tree National Park visitor center. It is convenient to get food and coffee right before hiking. read more

This spot is serving "grab and go" style food! We went for the first day they opened and the selection is perfect for if you need to bring breakfast or lunch into the park. I had the caprese sandwich, which was tasty and tried their cookies! Yum! They also sell really nice cheese which is hard to find around here. They mentioned they'll have more food options soon which I'm very excited to try! Congrats to the owners on the opening. Thanks for bringing more quick food options to our tiny town! read more

Good healthy selection. So much more satisfying than grabbing junk food at 7-11. Service is quick and polite.

Very cute, chic and cute place next to a visitors center. The place has plenty of local products, canned drinks, cheeses, ice cream and fresh made coffee. Simple menu without anything too fancy. I had a caramel cold brew, it was quality, smooth and didn't taste old like cold brew often can. I'd recommend light half and half as the drink is already pretty sweet. It wasn't too expensive, very quick even though it was somewhat busy and the young lady was very nice. Also appreciate being at a restaurant and seeing pride flags, makes me want to tip! read more

This is my new favorite place with the best selections for sandwiches and salads. It's super fresh and they fly in there delicious sub rolls in from NJ so the Italian hoagie is like the ones I use to get in NYC. But its their nitro coffee with agave that made me come back over and over again. Good selection of snacks and drinks, even have an ice cream case if you come back from hiking at the park. The staff is super nice and even make suggestions! read more

Great place to grab something quick before or after visiting the park. So many good options, including vegan options! Staff is helpful and store is clean. read more

Super basic grab-and-go cafe conveniently located next to the Joshua Tree Visitor Center! It's a nice place to grab some food or coffee before heading into the park, but please note the food is really basic. We got a ham and cheese sandwich ($6) and a small kale salad ($4). The ham and cheese sandwich is just that and the kale salad was very cheddary (not bad/not good). They also only have hot coffee or tea. No iced tea. This is a very conveniently located last minute pit stop, but if you're planning ahead, I recommend just getting some food from a supermarket in Yucca Valley or another nearby cafe instead. read more

We wanted to grab some coffee before going into Joshua Tree National Park for the day, and this Roadrunner is conveniently located right next to the Joshua Tree Visitor Center. This vote is JUST for their regular brewed coffee, which tasted like the most bitter dirt imaginable. We thought it would be OK with cream and sugar, but the taste was so putrid we spit it out immediately. Not sure if we just got a bad batch, but don't recommend at all! read more

Damn. So I went on a spontaneous trip out to Joshua Tree. Right before my hike, I stopped by the Roadrunner Grab+Go to pick up a sandwich based on a recommendation from a local. This grab and go deli is located in the Joshua Tree National Park visitor center on Park Blvd. and is open everyday of the year from 7:30AM to 5PM. Everything here is scratch made daily. So don't expect you regular packaged sandwiches here. I bought a roast beef and cheddar sandwich with chimmichurri and packed it in my backpack before I entered the park. I squatted down and ate the sandwich in the middle of my hike and it was pure bliss. I absolutely loved all the ingredients used in the sandwich, from the high-quality Boars Head roast beef to the incredible chimmichurri spread. The bread is also perfect for a deli sandwich, firm but soft. It's also a big, filling sub. It is absolutely an incredible value at a $13 price point. I can safely say this is the best cold deli sandwich I've ever had. I know they also offer a few other hot breakfast and lunch items that I'm sure I'll eventually try. They also have great sides and salads, including Rusty's Chips, my favorite potato chips!! This is a must-try when visiting Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley/29 Palms. I highly recommend it. read more

I got a terrible case of food poisoning from the overnight oats please make sure you check dates and ask if they're replaced daily which they should be doing. It ruined my trip entirely I was so sick after that vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps just terrible. read more

Thank you Rosa,super nice to my daughter and I. Grabbed Lunch to take into the park and had a nice little picnic. Really enjoyed my Italian sub and my daughter enjoyed her ham & cheese we will be back next time we are in town. Until next time. read more

Easy to grab healthy food or snack after hiking or to fuel up before hiking. A little pricey but pretty healthy. Vegan options. read more

Great selection of food, snacks, and beverages. I enjoyed my iced chai latte, and there were awesome local goodies here (sweets, coffee) that double as souvenirs. read more

Day old, overpriced soggy sandwiches in a tourist trap served with a side of Wilshire Boulevard big city rudenes.. Ask for a sandwich to be made on the spot and see what happens! read more

We love this little cafe with an amazing selection of grab and go items, ranging from fried chicken and mac and cheese to vegan broccoli salad (my favorite) to a large variety of sandwiches. This is our go to for lunch on days we need something quick or for picking up before heading into the park for a picnic and hike. My only wish is that they were open a little later than 5 so we could grab something after work. Everyone who works here is so so nice, and they are always kind to our kid which is always a plus. read more

Stopped here coming out of the park. Prices are not bad & my sandwich, the Italian, was excellent great bread & very tasty ingredients. Definitely recomend this place read more

Stop here before of after your trip to the Joshua Tree National Park for food, snacks, beverages and coffee. Everything we bought here was solid but the best thing was definitely customer service. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly! read more

What a great set of options as you head into Joshua Tree NP for the day. This place has gourmet grab n go snacks-drinks-salads-sandwiches and dessert. I got the veggie sandwich, my companion had the Italian. There were a lot of great choices. Bread was soft- not soggy- and just right. Veggies and cheese were fresh and the chimichurri sauce and jalapeño were a great add. I ate the whole sandwich because we didn't have a cooler at the time and that held me over for a full day in the park. If you have a cooler you can get two meals out of 1 sandwich or split with your hiking buddy. You can build multiple meals from this place or a solid picnic! It may seem a little pricey but worth every Penny when it comes to choices (NOT GREASY FAST FOOD), flavor, preparation, and convenience. It is attached to the 29 Palms visitor center which is your gateway to the west entrance of the national park. read more

Grabbed a mocha cold brew with oat milk before heading into joshua tree. Loved that they warned me that they use half and half since I can't have dairy, and that they had many alt milk options available. Tasted more like a chocolate latte, I would try a nitro cold brew next time read more

Delicious cold and hot vegan options! The cauliflower curry is very tasty and always hits the spot after a hike in the park. Rosa is always so accommodating and willing to make a sandwich if it's unavailable or even box up some cold curry for me to take home. We mostly cook ourselves since there's limited options out here but I love having Roadrunner nearby for something quick and easy! read more

The hot breakfast sandwiches are decent. The sausage egg sandwich has a decent amount of sausage that provides just enough bite and substance to a soft bun. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich doesn't have enough bacon so the sandwich feels mushy. read more

This is our go-to when we are about to head into JT park. They could easily get away with serving just about anything, given their great location - but they offer fantastic, quality sandwiches, salads, unique drinks/chips, coffee/tea and light desserts. Last time we were there it was so cold that we stopped by as we were leaving the park to get some hot cocoa! Love this place, highly recommend! read more

Delightful. Delighted. Excellent food, decent prices. So convenient if you are headed to the park. Had my new favorite sandwich. I love this retail model. Grab n Go is the way to go if you don't feel like sitting and waiting and waiting. For people like myself that are quite specific about their meals, appreciated that all the ingredients are listed out on the label, so I could see if there were any dealbreakers included. I worry about pre-prepared sandwiches being soggy, but the one I had was perfect. A little splash of vinegar gave it a zingy taste, not soggy in the slightest. Quite fresh and tasty with excellent quality ingredients on amazing bread! I got the Italian sub but would def be down to try other sandos. Such a cute little shop, with great cheese, charcuterie, snack options. The cauliflower curry in the warm case was absolutely delicious and would highly recommend as well. Might be my new favorite place in JT. read more
