The DEZ fine food - takeaway - catering

It's incredible what The Dez has to offer working out of the tiny storefront in downtown JT. Great hot sandwiches, Buddha bowls, vegan options and charcuterie. The bagel with lox was so freaking good I got it two days in a row. So refreshing to see a selection of fresh healthy food, gourmet chocolate and other intriguing paleo snacks I've never seen. The buzzer system worked great so you are free to roam about town while waiting for your order. You can tell this place is run by people who know and love quality food.

Exemplary, pretentious in a good way, the kind of pretentious you want your friends to be when you go to a cocktail party, had a bacon quiche warmed up which was delicious and an even more amazing plate of charcuterie that was made in store, absolutely scrumptious, I actually regretted eating at crossroads after I ate here, they have a wide variety of drinks and snacks for roadsters, I would highly recommend the Dez to anyone who goes by and would suggest you do the same
8.5/10

Today, I had the best tuna sandwich and Greek Orzo salad in my life. This is quickest place to get fine food in Joshua Tree. (It’s all to go) I recommend getting your lunch and going back to your Airbnb/house. The tuna sandwich I ordered was delicious. The fish was so fresh and the cheese melted in my mouth. 10/10 on the food and the staff! Best place in JT to get food if you’re out this way.

Fabulous coffee drinks and specialty food. Tiny and mighty. You offer stellar service and QUALITY products. I was extremely impressed with your choice of unique pantry items. You guys know how to fill a space with so many specialty food products all the while supporting other small businesses. Looking forward to coming back. Keep on responding to all of the uptight angst filled customers who wouldn’t know goodness if it hit them in the face. Rock Stars you all are!

I highly recommend The Dez in JT; the coffee was REALLY good, and the sandwiches we ordered were delicious—perfect for our hike in JTNP. Hands downs, this is the best place to eat in the high dez.

Omg Amazing Food! I stopped by and bought a piece of German Chocolate Cheesecake! The BEST I've ever had in 50 years of life!
Love these gals in there! Hugs, kisses and hats off to them all! Can't wait to try more of their menu items!
Cool little place too!

Great staff and a delicious deli stop. If you are looking for someplace to pick up lunch or snacks to take into Joshua Tree with you this is the place. Had a great albacore tuna sandwich from here.

Went there to get stuff for lunch after hiking. We purchased Chia teas that were ok not spicy chia like I’m used to. We purchased quiche (bacon cheddar and spinach cheese) that we took back to our place and heated up later. They both were delicious. It was a very small place so be prepared to place your order and wait outside. The staff was friendly and fast at their job.

I came for coffee and was disappointed. I waited for about 20 minutes in line outside which was a little slow but not too bad. Unfortunately my coffee was not good. I got an iced vanilla latte and it was very watery (like drinking the melted ice from a cup that used to have coffee).

My friend also ordered an Americano and they forgot to make it. We had to go ask for it and then they gave her a 12oz with no milk when she ordered a 16oz with oat milk.

Overall disappointed and I wouldn't go for coffee again.

The Dez is a fresh deli with sandwiches and baked goods fine cheeses and organic snacks
Yummy drinks to go. The baristas make amazing crafted drinks such as chai and espressos lattes and cappuccinos. Very well done. Great service fast and fun, I’m always so impressed by the speed and quality all in one. If in Joshua Tree it’s a must for the hungry traveler.
