Crossroads Cafe

Not just good food, the Crossroads Café has terrific food! The French fries here are on the top of my list: They are fresh cut daily with skin on, and have a true, fresh potato taste. Our group's Hamburger Heaven burgers were cooked to perfection, exactly as ordered, and served on a brioche bun with house-made mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. The delicious vegan Impossible Burger was served the same way and equally good. And, the Tom Tom Club with smoked turkey, avocado, sprouts, tomato, and mayo, served on toasted sourdough bread with a cup of Three Bean Vegan Chili was also a big hit. -- We'll be back soon to try more menu items! Recommended!

Excellent breakfast. Fast and friendly service. Loved the banana bread and corn bread here. Great location just outside of the park. Will definitely visit again if I am around this area.

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.

Best breakfast we had so far during our California roadtrip ! Very kind waitress ! Highly recommend to get breakfast there before your day at Joshua National Park

Great spot for breakfast. Friendly, relaxed vibe. Delicious food. We will definitely be back next time we are in Joshua Tree. The banana bread toasted with butter is a must.

Probably the best place to eat in Joshua Tree. Fantastic food with a mixture of classic burgers and also a good selection of vegetarian fare. Service with a real smile and a place with plenty of atmosphere. Seriously what is there not to like?...oh and great value for money

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!

Food was delicious and they have outdoor seating. Plenty of options for the whole family. They even bake their own muffins, sour dough bread, etc. Nice little cafe to stop whenever you're in Joshua Tree.

Family diner with huge menu. Not fine dining; good comfort food and large quantities of food. Great, I'm sure for many people but not my cup of tea. Diner was very busy, yet we still found parking in the overflow parking lot.

Food was delicious, service was impeccable. Good selection of vegetarian options, and a mix of sizes for all appetites. Can't recommend enough. Found via Lonely Planet
