This is a great find! It was a recommendation from Jericho at the Autocamp and she was spot on! I ordered avocado toast because it sounded good (and I don't like avocado) and I devoured it. So good. Golden latte with oat milk was also on the mark. Thank you ladies for such a great start to my day - unforgettable. read more

This was our favorite place in Joshua Tree! First off the staff there are fantastic. We were telling them about the alien tour we were taking and they made a ton of suggestions on other cool spots we could to toss Secondly ALL of the food was fantastic. The cheese Danish there was probably one of the best I've ever had. The sandwich's, pasta-salad, and every dessert were all fantastic. I dare say skip going to a restaurant and just grab stuff from here. The space is small, but packed with goodies. read more

Horrific Accusatory Combative Heartless Staff Allison V, Sabrina along with Derek that are the staff at this coffee shop treated me like I was a stealing criminal harassing me in front of my children & other consumers. They were way out of line and over the top. I stepped inside with my two toddlers and two ladies, after four people walked out. As I was standing inside with my two girls, I began to put their sweaters on, it was a chilly day. My husband had just passed me their jackets that he grabbed from our truck. The male employee Derek starts screaming, "4 at a time and the rest need to get outside." My husband left immediately to be respectful of their rules. It was understandable it's a tiny place. I asked Derek if it's okay to finish putting my daughter's sweaters on. Derek said, "yes, after you do that YOU can pay for the merchandise YOU stole." I looked up at him and said, what are you talking about? Derek along with others continued falsely accusing me in front of my daughters saying I stole water. I said I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm trying to put their sweaters on to get outside & even offered for them to search my bag to prove a point. Then Allison started screaming again at me to get outside dismissing me, harshly hushing me up, and wouldn't let me get an answer as to why I was being accused. She wouldn't let me ask questions in my defensive and continued to demand me to get out then resolve it, dismissing me. The fridge was never once opened. If they had checked the camera footage they would have seen what a ridiculous accusation they made. I told my daughters to go standby the water which in my daughter's eyes was the "fridge", because that's where their water was stored. They waited there for 2 seconds as I quickly grabbed their sweaters from my husband at coffee shops door two steps away from their "water fridge" & began putting their sweaters on them. I have no clue what was going through that employees mind. Any of their minds for that matter. It is bizarre considering my two arms were being used to put my daughter's sweaters on their bodies. I don't have a 3rd or 4th arm/hand to open the fridge door & steal a water. I'm not an octopus or a magician. It wasn't physically possible for me to do what I was being slandered for. That's why i'm flabbergasted, hurt, & really don't know what gave them that impression. I'm in shock they started yelling, screaming, & accusing me in front of others customers, & my children. Along with treating me poorly telling me to get outside when I quite literally had done nothing wrong & had stolen nothing. When I called to get the owners name I hung up & was going to wait, but then Sabrina the supervisor calls my phone back & I answer to her yelling & harassing me at the top of her lungs adding in threats. I will press charges on her. She refused to give me the owner of the coffee shops information. I called the police & made them aware of what transpired. I will be taking further legal action for the defamation mistreatment I endured on Easter Sunday in front of my children. The slander & false accusation I received from this place was extreme when they had no reasonable trustworthy information, or be sufficient, in themselves, to affirm a belief, that a crime was being committed. They were heartless, delusional, unprofessional, & disrespectful people. Allison literally told me no one cares when I tried calling to let them know their employee misheard & misjudged this hurtful situation. It was completely unnecessary. You do not want to support a place like this. They lack morals and ethics. Most importantly common decency and kindness. The fact that they accused someone of stealing that they had no proof of stealing is beyond me. This place should be shut down if they don't replace the staff. What a sad vile environment to have in such a beautiful town. The saddest part was when we walked out, my 6 year old daughter said, "mom you never even said anything about grabbing water." She was as confused as I was. I can't believe my 5 and 6 year daughters had to witness ill-treatment and outrage from a coffee staff. I'm genuinely curious to see the character of the owner in the way they respond to this review. How they handle or resolve this situation will speak volumes. I pray for their sake they investigate the facts, look up camera footage, hear how their staff shouted at me & handle disciplinary action accordingly. Staff can't hold their composure & they become deregulated, explosive, unethical, & rude in front of children. They handled and misjudged the situation to the highest extremity for no reason & were proof-less. I hope they feel remorse for the emotional distress they caused from their foul behavior. It's UNACCEPTABLE! In a world where you can be anything, be kind. A Kelcie C. Just message me asking to take down the review...iyiyiyi read more

Came here after a night out in the desert. Super cute store with ready to go foods perfect for picnics, food they make and lots of delicious novelty/cute snacks. The staff was beyond friendly. They took my groups order and gave us a buzzer to know when it was ready. It came out in a decent amount of time. We did have a big order and they had a customer before and after us, so they were busy. I can't resist a date shake in the desert, so of course I got one. You can taste the love and those delicious California dates. The straw is a little thin for a date shake, but it was divine. Breakfast panini was great too. Sausage roll was good, I took it home for a snack later. I can't stress enough how sweet and kind the staff was. It was a pleasure stopping here on my way out of town. read more

This breakfast panini was delicious! Very well made, hot, and very filling. The restaurant is very small and only allows 3 customers inside the shop at a time. In my opinion it would be helpful to have a better line system, as some people would just walk right in and ignore the line/start getting defensive when we told them there was a line (this does not necessarily have to with the owners, but may want to think of a better line system to avoid this conflict). We came on a Saturday morning and surprisingly there wasn't that long of a wait. We waited about 20 min for our food. read more

= L O C A T I O N = The Dez consists of a counter and a tiny space for ordering and picking up food, only accommodating three people inside at a time currently. The inside is cute and hipster, and would not look out of place in LA. Unfortunately, no bathroms. = S E R V I C E = They had a line out the door, probably because all the other establishments surrounding the area were closed. It took quite a while for my tuna melt to get to me, and I had ordered before the rush of people lined up. = F O O D = + TUNA MELT: I gotta give it up for this tuna melt, it was really good! You can tell that they use quality ingredients, and it had layers of flavor. I also appreciated the side of arugula that came with it. It definitely hit the spot. // (4/5) = D R I N K = + CHAI TEA ($4.25): This drink was pretty average, but a welcome warmth during the chilly day. // (3/5) Not a bad option for grab and go sustenance during our time at J-Tree! ======================================= Food: 4 // Service: 3 // Environment: 3 // Price: 3 read more

The Dez - Tuna Melt - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Joshua Tree, California

Looking for a quick grab n go spot with a variety of options, this will be your go to. Reminds of similar cafe shops you'll find in downtown areas like LA or SF. Lots of speciality goods inside. They also offer hot and cold foods which is nice. I personally was just looking to grab some coffee on our way to JTNP and glad we stop by here. The ladies there are so friendly and courteous. I got their lavender latte and my husband got their mocha. I gotta say I enjoyed my latte very much. As far as their mocha which I tried a lil bit off, wasn't actually impressed. Could perhaps give a lil more cocoa flavor to it. Perhaps they were just busy coz this place can have a waiting line on busy weekends. But the staff sure try their best to deliver good and efficient service read more

I LOVED their Breakfast Panini! It was crispy and very filling. I got their Vanilla Latte w Oat Milk, which was also very yummy. However, the total for me for the two items was around $17. They were also very kind when my friend dropped her bagel on the floor, they offered her another one for free. The place itself is very tiny, so it is more of a place to pick up coffee and go somewhere else. They sold a lot of other goods as well inside, aside from food and coffee. read more

VEGAN REVIEW: the best place in Joshua Tree for hungry vegans! We went here a number of times to pick up lunch during our visit. Loved the chickpea wrap & buddhah bowl & forbidden rice. a few vegan sweet options, too! tried the chocolate cake, YUM. Latte was also delish. Super cute store, very well curated mix of housemade & other gourmet products. Staff is friendly, very hip vibe (reminds me of Oakland- lots of tattoos). During COVID it's 2 people inside max, so be prepared to wait outside. We sat around the back & enjoyed our food, there are a few benches. read more

Not going to lie. This place is pretty dank. Their matcha late was delicious, their desserts were definitely memorable, their quiche were WOW one of the best I've had in years, the puff pastry on those bad boys were something special. We also had this pretzel hotdog corn dog puff pastry pig in a blanket thing suggested by one of the staff and it was surprisingly good considering I strongly dislike hotdogs. The place is very small and there wasn't any space to eat in doors which is fine because we were ordering to go anyways. Overall vibe was very chill. The staff were great helping us pick out things for dinner. I will be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

We were really relieved to find this place after leaving Joshua Tree quite hungry! It's basically a gourmet grocery in a small space in the town just outside the park. They have a lot of delicious prepared foods and drinks, and will make you some items to go as well. We grabbed pasta salad, seltzers and a dessert and ate just outside on the street. Everything was delicious and service was really good too. We had a great meal. read more

This is a solid choice to grab a bite to eat when you set out to explore the J Tree. Super friendly informative staff set in a clean hipster décor establishment. One suggestion I have is to be very selective and process the options before making the final decision on your food selection (don't beef it like I did). I ended up rolling with the 'Vegan Chickpea Wrap" and I wish I had chosen a different food option. Although the wrap wasn't terrible...it was a tad bland. After ordering I saw many more items, I think I would've gone with, but I didn't want mess with the flow after placing my order. I need to drop by again and give this a better evaluation at some point. 3.3 - Would return to grab something on the go. read more

I asked a barista at another establishment where was some other good places to try while out for the day at Joshua Tree and she recommended this place and I'm glad she did! I forget his name, I do apologize, but shoutout to the employee with the fabulous beard for the warm welcome and hospitality to my first time in the area! I wanted to have a lunch instead of breakfast and to my surprise, Dez Fine Food is a cute little coffee shop with more than just a good brew. They also have pre-made lunches and meals to go as well as pastries and other canned drinks in their fridges. They had plenty of vegetarian, and vegan options as well as some meat options too. They all looked so healthy and yummy and he knew I was struggling between two options and so I chose his rec which was the Vegan Chickpea Wrap and oh my goodness it was so good, filling and affordable ($9)! I don't know if they rotate their pre-made options but I'd snag this one while you can. While I didn't have any cooling for my lunch it held up well by the time I ate it many hours later. Its a pretty cozy place so they only let in two people at a time and there is no outdoor seating, but you could park your car right in front and eat there if that's an option for you. Overall, I enjoyed my time here! Everyone was so nice (in contrast to other places I visited) so I'll definitely be going back! Cooley Complimented :) read more

We waited 1.5 hours in line and for our food combined. My danish was hot but rock hard and burnt. My hot sandwich was a crisp. And coffee was alright. Spent $60 at this place and was EXTREMELY disappointed. It's busy because of the tourist. But tbh, I feel they haven't been given constructive criticism. The people were nice. Overall, the food could have been better for what we paid. Also forgot to mention, they forgot half my order AND called out James instead of Jane? It was just really poor food service. read more

This seems to be a cute new cafe in this area. They offer a lot of healthier choices that include vegan and gluten free. I got the salmon tartine and my boyfriend got the avocado toast. They are on the pricier end. Food was delicious although they take a while to prepare the food. They are only allowed 2 people inside at one time currently, and after you order you need to wait outside and they will bring your food out for you. I also got the iced chai latte with almond milk and it was decent. read more

I came for coffee and was disappointed. I waited for about 20 minutes in line outside which was a little slow but not too bad. Unfortunately my coffee was not good. I got an iced vanilla latte and it was very watery (like drinking the melted ice from a cup that used to have coffee). My friend also ordered an Americano and they forgot to make it. We had to go ask for it and then they gave her a 12oz with no milk when she ordered a 16oz with oat milk. Overall disappointed and I wouldn't go for coffee again. read more

We were on vacation, found this cafe on Yelp to have breakfast, seemed pretty good and interesting but had the worst experienced ever. My partner and I made our order, we stepped outside to wait and we noticed they started serving the people that were after us first and not us. We got about drinks and an hour later waiting for our food we see the cook giving the food to other people and not us. I decided to go inside and ask for my food, the solution they gave me is a refund and without any apology they refunded me and just said probably our ticket got lost... Don't get fooled by the pictures. Not worth your time. read more

They have to go orders currently and do not have outdoor seating. Only 2 people are allowed inside the store at a time due to COVID. Also, the wait to get my food was a bit long and they forgot part of my order but luckily I caught it before leaving. I ordered 3 things, the lox bagel, ham and cheese panini, and a pigs in a blanket sausage type dish. Everything was good my favorites were the lox bagel and ham and cheese panini. The panini was hot and I really liked the bread used. The panini does come with a lot of mustard which I usually dont like but it was still really good. I wasn't the biggest fan of the sausage but the pastry it came in wasn't bad. Overall I enjoyed the food and while the wait to order and receive the food was a bit long it is a great to go option! read more

I came here with my friend to get some coffee. It's a cute, small coffee shop located along a strip of businesses. They offer food and pastries as well which all looked yummy. I first ordered an iced matcha tea latte which I did not like. It was clumpy and had no flavor. I went back and asked if I could switch it out for another coffee and the baristas were so sweet about it and switched it out right away! I got a vanilla latte with oat milk and that tasted basic but nonetheless pretty good! The only thing is that my friend realized after that the matcha was more expensive than the latte and I didn't get offered a refund or anything. It was only about $1 more expensive so I wasn't too worried about it, I guess it's just more of the principle of it. My friend ordered a hot hazelnut latte and she was satisfied with her coffee, I took a sip and it was pretty good. I would give the coffees and the service 4 stars. read more

Cute hole in the wall that is a must-stop to grab food for a day exploring Joshua Tree or any other excuse. Staff was friendly, professional, and loves their job. As we looked around, we found many yummy treats to enjoy - coffee, pastries, sandwich wraps. Staff went the extra mile by heating up our pastries so the icing on the cinnamon roll was extra güey and tasty. Date balls coated in coconut are a must try; get a few extra cause you won't want to share. Coffee was made like our favorite coffee shop back home (using Stumptown beans); cappuccino had perfect foam and iced mocha was decadent. Vegan, veg, and carnivore friendly. read more

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. We came here this morning to have breakfast, we placed an order and they lost our ticket, we waited almost an hour and until we asked why they were taking so long to give us our food and drinks they told us that they lost our ticket LIKE COME ON! The only solution that they gave us was a refund, and they didn't even gave me a full refund, they just did half of the refund because the only thing that we got was a latte (and it was cold). They didn't apologize because of their mistake. Costumer service it's terrible. read more
