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 tried Luna Sourdough Bakery this past weekend…read more They have a lot of bread and sweet options. My fiancé and I could not decide what to order, so we ordered three items. The raspberry tart, the chocolate banana bread, coconut chocolate macaroon. Let me just say that the macaroon is out of this world. One thing I did not is that the inside of it is dry. I would suggest eating this with milk or an iced cold drink. It wasn't too packed for a Sunday. The cashier was friendly and I found it cute how she was holding her baby and working at the same time. When in Joshua Tree I would really make it a point to go to Luna's Sourdough Bakery.

We've finished all the leftovers and are craving more. It was seriously spectacular! We showed up with all the standard wedding catering challenges. Large party, dietary restrictions, tight budgets, big ambitions and a desire for everything to be *perfect.* Merilee walked us through the entire process with calm professionalism, talking us through options, listening to our ideas and sharing her extensive expertise. We narrowed it down to two equally delicious sounding menus and made the final call after an AWESOME tasting. Every single thing we tried was scrumptious! We left that night genuinely excited to share this feast with our guests and full of confidence that the final event would be a success. But the wedding exceeded even those stellar expectations. The food, presentation, service and staff were all simply flawless. It's no surprise that Merilee was recommended by our wedding venue, our welcome party venue and every local wedding planner we interviewed. Mojave Monaco is both beloved and respected by everyone who has had the pleasure of working with them. They are consummate professionals who treat everyone involved with real consideration, who take tremendous pride in their work and are committed to delivering excellence in absolutely every respect. Plus they are just straight up lovely folks. If you get the chance, hire them immediately. We would again in a heartbeat. Thank you guys!

He was so thoughtful and helped me thru this whole process that I'm knew to. Everything was delicious and elaborate! He took the time to make sure everything came together just right. I want to say I seen a complaint against him as I was getting ready to write this review. I believe the lady was angry at the organization of the company and took it out on this angel of a chef. Shame on her, I feel like she was just disappointed and kept her nagetivity towards the chef. There is no way his food is bad like she is trying to say, sounds to me like she wanted free food. If you need a chef with the fingers and soul of an angel chef Julian boudreaux is the guy for you! Please let him host your next event!

Oh, wow! We hoped having Cahoots Grub cater for our group of eight friends would be a special…read moresurprise for them, but we weren't prepared to be totally blown away by the entire experience ourselves. We first learned about David & Meg's catering business through a social media post, and the asado-style bbq looked so cool, but we weren't sure how the food would taste. They are new to the area, so there weren't tons of reviews, but the ones posted were great, so we gave them a call. From the get-go, they were quick to respond and we soon had a date and some preliminary menu ideas. After a few tweaks (we are picky eaters), they created a multi-course menu with wedge salad, branzino cooked on a cedar plank, whole-roasted chickens with chimichurri, grilled zucchini with tzatziki sauce, potatoes grilled in duck fat, really cool-looking corn ribs with a dipping sauce, flatbread that was rolled out and cooked over the fire, and apple cobbler ramekins with homemade ice cream. We are a pretty loud group, but every time a new course was put on the table, it was complete silence for a few minutes while we all were in heaven experiencing the flavor. Our friends must've thanked us 100 times and taken as many photos of the food and the cooking process and the masters at work, David and Meg. This will go down as one of the most memorable meals of our lifetime, absolutely! We were so impressed that we are already trying to book a date for January.

They were incredibly easy to work with from start to finish: excellent communication while we researched costs and menu options, flexible with food sensitivities and budget needs, on time the evening of the event, careful about protecting the site during the cooking process, and extremely clean when the evening was over. The food was absolutely amazing, but what also made the experience memorable was their presence and setup itself. Their cooking station felt almost sculptural, and watching them prepare the meal was performative in the best way - engaging, thoughtful, and part of the experience. The retreat was so much more special because of that evening. Highly recommend.
