Food For Thought Cafe - JOSHUA TREE

Beautiful little caffe in a retreat room in the desert. there is a deck and gardens to sit when they want to eat outside, what we did and it was nice. we had only eier sticks with hash brown and toast. they have vegan smart balance butter. eating was just pretty good, but really loved the mood overall. 100% a stop for a sit down menu.

This is a great spot for a vegan or vegetarian meal! I really enjoyed the Mexican bowl (without cheese), which was delicious. The interior is spacious and relaxing, and you can see some of the sculpture garden and Joshua trees. The service is very friendly. I believe it could be even better with more vegan breakfast options.

The restaurant features a rotating menu that always includes a vegetarian option, which can also be made vegan. We enjoyed a salad and a sweet burger during our visit. I also stopped for tea. It's great to see that there's an additional dining option available, and I appreciate that the Retreat Center has opened its kitchen to the public. It’s conveniently located for both JT and YW, easily accessible from Highway 62, primarily heading west. They have extended hours as well. Be sure to check their schedule for classes on meditation, yoga, and special events.

This is an amazing and delicious café located within the JT Retreat Center. It's open to the public and features friendly staff and an eclectic menu. We visited twice—the first time for a coconut curry lunch, and today for a complete American breakfast that included just egg, hash browns, and veggie bacon! They also serve local coffee from JT. I highly recommend this place; let's show it some love! (Updated from the previous review on October 29, 2021.)

I can only imagine this sprawling cafe heaving with people but it was blessedly quiet when I visited. I got the vortex burger and the soup. Delish! Staff was welcoming and helpful as well. The atmosphere and view are to notch Great prices!!!
