Every year I visit the Joshua Tree area and nearly every day that I am here, I visit this bakery…read more Over the years, the hours of service has been a bit unpredictable but every food item has always been phenomenal. Happy to report that these days they're always open! The bread is incredible, the pastries delicious, and the sandwiches are high quality too. The crew is constantly churning out replacements for everything, which sells out quickly. Super friendly workers and a great owner. Definitely give it a try!

I sadly can't go here much anymore because it turns out I'm allergic to the glyphosate in wheat…read more (Someone told me that I could probably eat sourdough even though I couldn't eat regular wheat, so I ate a whole flatbread from Luna and broke out in hives. ) My only wish for Luna is that they would make 1 truly great breakfast pastry that is gluten free so I could come here all the time. Their current GF options are either not tasty or not great breakfast items (almond cookie, coconut macaroon and a very hard to eat bread loaf). I know from personal experience with Pamela's GF baking mix just how easy it is to make a delicious chocolate GF banana bread that is just as good as the wheat version. Luna could probably even make one where their wheat eaters wouldn't even notice the difference. Anywho, that is my gf fantasy. In conclusion, if your body can tolerate sourdough, get to Luna! It's divine! If not, you can always get a delicious gluten-free doughnut next door at Matson Ambroise.

Walked in, 3 people sitting at table (owner's & friends?)…read more Not ONE person said hello, acknowledged me, nothing! I have been in the wine industry for over 20 years in Paso Robles and was there to buy a couple bottles for the weekend. I walked around for over 5 mins and NO ONE said anything!!! No thanks "guys" haha! Not. ... So rude and tacky and will never come back when we visit this area.

Found this place after having lunch next door (Tiny Pony). Walking in, there was a weird smell to…read morethe store, almost vinegary? But walking around there is a lot to see. There's a lot of little trinkets. It reminded me of going to childhood parties and getting the little favors inside the pinatas or inside the party bags. They have a smaller selection of snacks/desserts/foods but their main attraction is wines. I'm not sure if I would go in here looking for something specific. I think you come in here willing to let the store tell you what it is you need. Just go in there to browse and see what you end up leaving with.

Plus, I overheard and interaction with the guy working and some Penske customers and he was super nice and went out of his way to make them happy. I tried the Pinata, which was kale, banana, and...mango? I forget the third ingredient. My kids had a couple scoops of their ice cream - pretty good! Their scoops are a decent size, so one scoop for each of my kids was plenty. I really enjoyed my drink - wonderful flavor coming through. It was so good that even my boys liked it. Kale! There weren't any other customers, but it was chilly outside. They also sell snacks and they have a little quarter vending machine, which is a nice touch. Plenty of parking. I'm a fan!

A very cordial, pleasant, and kind young lady working there just the other day. A surprisingly lovely glazed donut I might say. But I kept looking around there thinking "in a small town like this how can they even sell enough donuts to keep this joint open but they obviously do". I could think of some simple things that could be added, but I wouldn't want to give away my secrets. All throughout the United States there are donut shops that have the same recipe apparently, not sure how that works? A lot of them are Asian run in the San Francisco area. I always laughed at the signs that would say "Donuts and Chinese Food" before walking in I would always say to myself: "Nothing like a good egg fu yung jelly doughnut"! Yeah, this spot could use a little more hipness for just spending a few dollars on some paint and artwork, etc. there would probably be a line more often. I don't know. I wasn't there on a weekend. Also, the beautiful new laundromat or remodeled laundromat next-door should really be a good revenue source for the hungry laundry goer....... But certainly grab a doughnut. They're very tasty. So keep heading up the road a bit to Joshua Tree as there are many cute little shops in the three block area there which I guess is called downtown Joshua Tree? I really dig all the new modern prefabs that are popping up which appeared to be primarily Airbnb joints(?)- a lot of style man! Yeah, I'll be back. I met some really cool people in that couple of blocks. If you haven't been there then hop in your car and drive up there right now and get yourself a nice little jelly doughnut...... "Thank ya. Thank ya very much".

This place could be so much h better, but it wasn't half bad…read more The cashier was kind, welcoming and friendly I had a blueberry donut with a granulated sugar coat. At 2 bucks and change it was just fine and a fair value. Glass case and pink boxes, you would think that's charming, it's not. The decor is firmly stuck in the 70s but not in that mid century stylish way. The laundromat nexr store was freshened and modernized recently. Some thought and about 15k could offer much needed updates. Don't change your cashier though, she was wonderful.

We got the banana iced coffee, it was refreshing and much needed after a long day of hiking. It did not taste of banana at all and it was made with oat milk which isn't my personal favorite but I didn't read the sign thoroughly, that's on me. I would recommend stopping by if you want iced coffee, not special but not bad at all.

So when…read moreit came time to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday and my daughter's 9th birthday, I knew I wanted to treat our guests with something special from Sweet Chicks as well. For my mom's celebration, I ordered the Super Chip chocolate chip cookies as party favors--and they were a huge hit! These cookies are large, soft, and absolutely, delicious! --perfect as a gift or favor that guests will actually enjoy! For my daughter's Pokémon-themed party, I worked closely with Jackie to design custom cake pops. She was a pleasure to work with--friendly, responsive, and totally understood the vision I had in mind. The cake pops turned out absolutely adorable--bright, colorful, and just as yummy as they looked!! I highly recommend Sweet Chicks for any special occasion--or even just to treat yourself. Your taste buds will thank you!!
