Crossroads Cafe - JOSHUA TREE

Despite one review warning that the burger wasn’t vegan there were so many others that were positive and an updated menu I tried optimistically. A local even suggested it! I ordered the “Hellburger (vegan)” and mentioned it to be made vegan…. The brioche bun is not vegan and was not readily subbed for the sourdough even though I mentioned it specifically to be safe. The Chipotle aioli, that I suspect has all the heat, was not on the burger so I imagine that is also not vegan friendly. The seitan? It’s the Tofurkey deli slices. I also have a service dog in tow and the staff (and actually much of Joshua Tree) was not the most willing to accommodate; not really the best experience overall and bummed I didn’t eat elsewhere on this trip. The other vegan options are egg dishes where they substitute Just Egg for scrambles, but my friend said they were bland.

There are plenty of vegan options on the menu, and I even saw some dishes that could possibly be vegan if requested. I ordered the "Hell" sandwich with a side of black beans, and both were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant.

There are plenty of ways to customize your meal to be vegan at this restaurant. I especially appreciated the choice between just egg or tofu scramble (even though the tofu was cubed instead of scrambled, it was still a nice option). The service was friendly and the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend this breakfast spot.

I recommend going here for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can substitute some things with just egg which is nice for breakfast options. There are several to choose from and every time I go it’s good.

I got the impossible burger with no mayo and fries with 3 bean chili vegan . i didn’t think to ask about the bun until AFTER i read some reviews… so i did eat the bun but someone else said they offer sourdough bread an as alt? my bf got the tacos with a side of black beans! so good, lots of food, price was good $40 for both and a drink ; would give 5 stars if i could! okay, so i DID come back the next for breakfast and it was so worth it. again, good food and big portions. i got the UNusual breakfast with potatoes, sourdough, and veggie sausage the potatoes are cooked in butter, so you have to ask for them to be made vegan!!! with avocado and tomato on the side a vanilla oat latte. my bf got a vegetarian breakfast with real egg and dairy but he loved that too.
