Crossroads Cafe - JOSHUA TREE

The restaurant offers a great selection of vegan options for breakfast and dinner, including deliciously fluffy pancakes. We decided to order the tofu with rancheros sauce for our daughter based on the waitress's recommendation that it wasn't spicy, but unfortunately, it was too hot for her to eat. Despite this setback, we still enjoyed our meals overall.

The food was exceptional! I ordered a perfectly made Reuben sandwich with just the right amount of Thousand Island dressing. As a fan of chili, I had to try their three bean chili, and it exceeded my expectations. My fiancé enjoyed a burger and her friend had a salad, both of which were generous portions of fresh, high-quality ingredients. The prices were reasonable, and although the menu is small, the quality of the dishes more than makes up for it. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by this restaurant after a visit to Joshua Tree. It's definitely worth it!

This is likely the top spot for dining in Joshua Tree. The food is exceptional, offering a mix of delicious classic burgers and a variety of vegetarian options. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. It's hard to find anything not to like about this place. Plus, it's great value for your money.

We had an average experience at Crossroads. We chose this place specifically for our post-hike meal because of the vegetarian options, but both of our dishes were underseasoned and unremarkable. We ordered the pancakes, soyrizo hash, and the huevos rancheros. The tortillas came cold, the potatoes in the hash were closer to uncooked than tender, and the rest of the meal lacked the flavor you expect from Texmex dishes. However, where other reviewers commented on possible racism or poor service, I though we received the opposite. Although it was quite busy, several servers came to check on us, took our order quickly, and brought our food out just as fast. I might not come back, but I can see why this place is a staple in JT.

Wandered into this lovely cafe while exploring downtown Joshua. Wish we had known it was good for breakfast food because we could have timed our stay better but we’re glad we stopped by regardless! We got the soup and salad combo, it was a great vegetable stop in the middle of a long road trip full of packaged food and junk. Home cooked goodness. The salad was hearty and flavorful, and the chicken cilantro soup is one of the best chicken soups I’ve ever had. The vegan chili was good too. I imagine the rest of the menu is just as tasty. Food came fast and staff was friendly. Highly recommend!
