We Stayed in Yucca Valley for 4 days and we came here almost every day, the coffee and food was that good. Very chill vibe with indoor and outdoor seating, and a nice little clothing / souvenir shop attached. We literally ordered the BLT every time we came because we enjoyed it that much, the Cold brew and matcha lattes were great as well. The staff was extremely friendly. We will be back!
This is a really chill coffee place with a great vibe. The staff is super nice and helpful. Its right before you leave the highway if youre heading out after your Joshua trip. Funny thing, I saw they had a board for chocolate muffin and I ordered it, it was a blueberry muffin, I didnt mind but maybe they can change the board
Unique and chill coffee shop/restaurant in Yucca Valley. Their chai lattes are really great, as are their americanos. They have a lot of good food choices as well. Their breakfast sandwiches are very filling! Also, the Green Dream is an epic sandwich. Everything tastes like they use super fresh ingredients. Definitely a great place for a quick meal or a coffee. Nice staff too!
My go-to spot in Joshua Tree! I love that you can bring your pup and sit outside. I also love that you can get a lovely espresso drink and a draft beer all in the same place. Cafe food is light yet hearty and there is an option for everyone, no matter what dietary restrictions you have.
Absolute best cafe in Yucca Valley. Best staff. So kind, quick and great at what they do/make. Definitely would go back time and time again. Great coffee choices, food options, and a quick snack.
Beverages were excellent! The egg sandwich was terrible. A thin hockey puck of a dried something that I was told was an egg. I couldnt even eat it. The bread was good, great slice of tomato which I ate both but honestly I didnt even think the egg thing was actually an egg.
Delicious food and drinks. Stopped by this place while traveling, they have really good vegetarian/vegan options. Will definitely be back for the Vegan BLT!
Went on a hot hot hot day, and loved their cooling bagel and herb cream cheese. The staff was so sweet, unpretentious, and joyful to receive my appreciation of their food! The bagel was stuffed with cream cheese. Most places skimp on the cream cheese, but not this cafe! The bagel was bursting with flavors! The uplifting music, soothing decor and interesting trinkets made it a lovely experience!! :-)
Stumbled upon this place just cause it was too hot at the campground to make breakfast and I was only too glad it was hot outside. Signature inventive dishes, the best of the four that we ordered was the avacado tartine sandwich. The salad was so fresh that it tasted like the leaves were harvested today morning. A textbook definition of a millennial place you will see the most coolest of crowds/tattoos/music, games, paintings, old time postcards etc, it is also very family friendly. A must try place if you are in Joshua tree and are looking for a unique hip place to eat.
Delicious cheese Danish. Not all customers wearing masks when walking around inside.Went back a second time no one wearing mask including one employee. Batista touched mouth of drinks with her hands after hugging a customer and did not wash her hands. Wont go back..
Great BLT and pesto pasta salad! Come here often
A great little place with a big feel! Very vibrant. The counter help was very nice and knowledgeable. We ordered Vegan and they had a great menu for that! They also serve bacon for you meat eaters too 👏😊. Youll feel welcome while also feel like youre in chic coffee house. Very clean. Pleasant atmosphere. Great vegan menu items. Craft beers and lots of deserts to choose from! Great place! If youre in Joshua Tree, stop by this place. They have a corner for live music too. Parking in the back.
Wonderful food in a fun coffee house art Cafe! Sandwiches were excellent and the bagels and lox fantastic.
To me theres 3 types of coffee shops. Corporate Starbucks types, third wave craft coffee, and 90s Seattle grunge/Friends coffee shops. This place is the ladder. Nice place to get a cuppa Joe and a sandwich and get some work done or read for a few hours. I camped in J tree the night prior and enjoyed a nice cup of drip while reading on the front patio. The road is loud, but I still enjoyed it.
We had lavender chai latte, beetroot latte, avocado tartine. Food was delicious!! Beetroot latte was new for us and it was refreshing. Avocado Tartine had generous topping of Ajvar, which was a great combination.Very cute place with interesting decor. There was a long line to order but service was fast.Will definitely go back here when at Joshua Tree
Best sausage, egg, & cheese sandwich Ive ever had. The sausage wasnt even real meat but you couldnt tell.
Loved the egg sandwich with avocado! Lox bagel was huge and also delicious!
This coffee place is off the side of the road and very cool. We got chicken wrap and a belt and both were delicious. It has a very chill atmosphere to it and feels like something out of a hipster movie. They also had live music which was a super nice touch too. Seemed to get quite busy so if you’re in a rush don’t go as this place is meant for enjoying.
Beat coffee in yucca valley. The door man, Eric, is super nice. All the employees are friendly. Their coffee is never bitter like the other coffee spots in yucca. They get pretty busy but if youre just getting coffee it never takes long.
Quite literally had the best latte and tempeh blt of my life here. would drive three hours just to eat here again 10/10
Blown away by the atmosphere, laid back employees, amazing food and coffee! And, spin your own records that you choose from the vinyl bin they provide. Such a great coffee house. The menu isnt overly lengthy, but the perfect amount of small bite foods in my opinion. SO DELICIOUS!and I really love that they use tarot cards as the order indicator rather than a number or something. Just overall, this place is cool especially the design and decor. Thanks Frontier café! ♡
This place was so delicious. I had the lox bagel and wow- super filling and yummy. The food also tasted fresh and clean. A must-have if you’re visiting!!
Diverse menu with vegetarian and vegan options. Very chill, inclusive place. Food was delicious. They have a bunch of drink options apart from coffee and tea, alcoholic and otherwise. Particularly liked the whalebird small batch kombucha.
Great spot for coffee and a quick bite!
This was such a wonderful spot to stop in and have a hot cup of coffee. Actually I got the mocha latte which was delightful. The cost wasn’t too bad. I like that it’s a local business. There’s a stage for singing or open mic night I presume. The cafe is clean and the staff is very kind. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
A great stop in Yucca Valley with delicious food and Joshua Tree Coffee, juice and a nice large area to hang and enjoy. I really like the tuna melt and my wife typically gets the avocado toast, which is really hippstery delicious. The kids love their grilled cheese, which is a really tasty and unique take, not just a slice of cheese between two slices of bread. We stop by frequently and will keep doing so, I highly recommend you do the same.
The staff were kind and accommodating.The service seemed a bit slow for some coffees and toast. Despite that the drinks were delicious, the Avocado toast was amazing. It really hit the spot for a quick fix breakfast, there were a lot of healthy and interesting options on the menu. The service as of now is very CoVid friendly and take out safe.
It has been some time since last visit. 2 years to be exact. Though this place was quite the oasis. I will be making a trip back to Joshua Tree and this will be a definite stop.
Five stars for being the biggest tourist trap in the Morongo basin. You did it. Wow.
Best egg sandwich in the desert / Southern California. I always stop to get coffee and breakfast at Frontier on my way out to the middle of nowhere. Do yourself a favor and make a point to visit. The people are very nice, the food is terrific, it’s got a great location and parking is easy. It gets super busy so I always try to get there early.
You know - Im sad to have this realization - Im over Frontier Cafe. And yes, the hipsters are always lining up...but while Ie been feeling for a while that the food has become meh...todays experience was like - Im over it.Still as of 5/16/21 Frontier Cafe does not offer indoor seating - or (or!) outdoor seating. Sure, fair enough - its their business. They can do what they want. But then we were told it was going to take 30 minutes for the food to come out. OK. I guess. 30 minutes for B food. It is what it is. Especially with no competition in the immediate area.But then - heres what broke me. Theres no restroom to use.Not just out of order but no, you can not use our bathroom, while you wait 30 minutes for your food. And its been this way for a year.If youre going to have no indoor, seating, no outdoor seating at least have a bathroom open. 76 Gas Station I guess one ups you there, huh?Natural Sisters cafe if way better imop - the food is actually worth traveling to (and theyve had a working bathroom since they opened).
Really friendly staff and cool little place. Found the coffee to be inconsistent though - different barista I presume. First time my flat white was good, today the milk was burned - couldn’t hold the cup it was that hot. If you can’t hold the cup on a milk based coffee, it has been overheated and that burnt tastes permeates.
I used to frequent this cafe almost daily pre-pandemic. I would have meetings here, cowork out of here, meet friends here… and now the staff is unfriendly, the prices have sky rocketed, the coffee (which used to be my favorite in the high desert) has totally gone south… and it’s a shame because it feels like the end of an era. The institution that was frontier is not servicing the local community but rather grabbing at tourist dollars. I can handle price increases, but when your staff is rude it’s a no go for me. Such a shame.
Got my daily coffee from Frontier Café while visiting. It was so good, I didnt even bother trying other places. Staff was friendly and there is a cute shop next door to browse while waiting for your drink.
Really nice coffee shop with character. The ice coffee really hit the spot on a warm spring day
A little coffee stop in a big LA expectation.This little gem is a homey type coffee stop before you head up to Pioneertown. With great vegan and vegetarian options. They have a really nice selection of beers and drinks that are comforts of the city. The only downside (which shouldnt be a downside) is that their small kitchen cant keep up with the fast food, fast paced demands of the tourists who pile in by the dozens and expect a converbelt to give them their food. The food is hand crafted just like the drinks and they do a phenomenal job! I hate watching how impatient people can be when they expect that theyre at a sbucks.. when they clearly came here because the drive through alone there, would take them 25 min.I love stopping in for coffee and now that summer is here I cant wait to sit inside and have a prickly pear palmer with my friends! The girls there are friendlier than these reviews give them credit for. 10/10 would recommend!
Nah not worth the 40 min wait for a bagel. 1 star for good food - and it’s good breakfast/cafe food. Nothing special about it. Fresh, clean. You’ll be here a long long time.
Great coffee. I had an iced coffee with great and sugar. Added some hazelnut flavoring as well.
The drinks and food are phenomenal! Super fresh with great flavors. I highly recommend the grilled cheese & lemonade
Best place in the high desert
Great place to stop and get food before heading into Joshua tree!
Excellent road side eats. Very nice service by naturally gorgeous friendly and helpful people. Fresh bread was good. Got some coffee for the road trip. Had steel cut oatmeal with nuts and fruit (breakfast till 11) and a grilled cheese sandwich.... On way out of Joshua Tree, had the breakfast BLT... Mmmm good.
Hands down the best BLT Ive ever had in my life. It was actually comical that a sandwich could be that good. A must stop in JT!
Breakfast sandwiches were fantastic. Great little spot in town to grab coffee and some food.
I really liked this place. For us driving on our way to Las Vegas, this was middle of nowhere. But now I know that it is in Yucca Valley, not that far away from Joshua Tree National Park. We were recommended to walk through the park, but because of the short amount of time we couldnt :(The staff was really nice and the ice chai latte I had was yummy 😍 and avocado on the bread. The vibe here was really nice, definitely a place I would go back to.
Super friendly staff! Great coffee and atmosphere.
Although their coffee and food are good. Its pretty bad they wont let you use a restroom and make you wait outside. Please keep in mind restaurants are opened up now. The people at the counter seem extremely snobby and rude. Last time here for me.
Twice now my coffee came out bad. I ordered a vanilla latte and it was a mediocre regular one with no vanilla. Then I ordered a praline latte and it tasted brunt and again, no flavour. Two stars because my husband ordered a white mocha and both times it was good.
Try the vegan BLT!! Sooooooo good
Best coffee in town hands down. I buy their beans regularly, high quality & consistently delicious.
A great place to get a wonderful cup of coffee and fantastic breakfast before going to Joshua Tree!
Too small and too crowded. Could not eat there
Should change their description as they do not have free WiFi.
Friendly staff and yummy food!
Always yummy and great service! Make sure you tip the locals!
Quaint, quirky and a must stop for anyone visiting the area (if I lived here Id be here all the time). Great food choices as well as prices.Some of the best hummus Ive ever tasted. And the pita that came with it was perfectly warmed and chewy.The beet and arugula salad was huge! I loved full and satisfied!
So I usually go to Starbucks for my tea, but decided to go to this place while my dog was at vet! So I get large black tea without ice, it was a good tea:)I came back today and got the same thing, but they only filled my cup 3/4 of the way! I asked why didn’t you fill my tea all the way up, she said that’s extra! Well your menu doesn’t say only fill part of way for large with no ice! If this is how they sell stuff, I won’t be back!!!
Excellent coffee. Nice blends.
Amazing food and coffee. Very friendly employees
Great food, just short handed due to people getting paid to sit home. America doesnt need handouts.
Excellent cold brew and delicious breakfast sandwiches. Just a bit on the pricy side.
Love this place and the people there, especially when the burger mascot is out front showing off those dance moves! Awesome coffee and treats fo sho! And i love to see how they are reducing covid risks.
Delicious coffee and awesome atmosphere inside the shop.
I love coming here when I visit my Grandfather in Flamingo Heights 🦩🏜️
Great local trendy breakfast /lunch spot with vegan options. They do need some more vegan options though. Plus side one of the owners is my cousin. 😂😘🙏
The Covid Crisis has done a number on a great little spot. Stale coffee and gummy (not the good kind)cookies. Zero ambience except for the sign that encourages customers to check their white privilege at the door; great advice.Wonder if they have ever hired any people of color??
I love this place!! The coffee and food are amazing. I also love the decor. Definitely worth a stop if youre in the area!
Cozy, great atmosphere, super friendly staff
Its pretty bad every restaurant is open for business as normal and these people will not even let you use a restroom. To top it of we were forced to wait for our order out in the cold wind. Staff was extremely snobby and rude. Last time I come here.
We passed thru for breakfast during the covid-19 pandemic on a long road trip. Just excellent! Food and service were fast and friendly. They enforce careful safety protocol for the pandemic, which is important to us to avoid getting sick on the road.Highly recommend! Thank you everyone there for the excellent service!
Great food and drinks. They were packed. But we got a seat at the bar fast. Friendly crowd.best bartender ever. Food portions were generous, and it was fresh and hot. Service was excellent even with a completely packed restaurant. Food didnt take long to come once we ordered it. I will be back. It is also next to a old west themed area called pioneertown. Well worth a drive. I was there on a Sunday, but I found out that on Saturdays they have shoot outs on main Street at certain times of the day. As long as its not super hot
What a piece of work worst place Ive ever been in a long time outrageous prices stuns melt grilled cheese and 2 root beers and ice tea 34.00 I wont go back
The ice coffee I had was the richest coffee taste ever. Amazing for a hot day. Thanks you!
Closing your restroom to customers during a pandemic seems both rude and unhygienic.
Great place for coffee, baked goods and eats. The macaroons & cookies were excellent & the food smelled yummy. Super friendly staff; loved it here❣️
I really liked this place. The food was good, the coffee even better. I just wished that the barista was a tiny bit faster. Gotta admit that he was overwhelmed with orders and tried his best. Plus the lady that stole part of my order didnt help. Hopefully karma plays a part in that.
