The DEZ fine food - takeaway - catering

We stopped by super early en route to Joshua Tree National Park .. DEZ fine food was the perfect place to go, walked into a warm oasis, the air was full of fresh baked goods and foods, hot chocolate was on point! Go here!!

I got the vegan chickpea wrap. It said it had red onion, dill, and capers. This is a picture of the sandwich filling. I found a few tiny flakes of dill, two microscopic pieces of onion, and no capers. I suggest you up the flavor as it was bland. My neighbors are raving about your food but none of them are vegan.

The food is microwaved and has no flavor. I went there to have a breakfast sandwich and I'm disappointed with the quality for the high price.

The people there are really nice and the service was great. Just the food quality wasn't what I was expecting.

We took a picnic from here up to Keys View and really enjoyed the food. Everything was very fresh and flavorful, with delicious desserts to boot! Whoever came up with the concept did a really great job. It's such a treat to be able to grab fine food like this for an impromptu outing. The high quality ingredients and extremely gracious service make it worth every penny--and they have an awesome rewards program!

Great lace to go for takeaway sandwiches and upmarket deli style food as well as good stumptown coffee when in Joshua Tree. Friendly and great food.

The Dez was pretty packed today. They have a very clear sign on the door about only having 4 people in at a time. When my friend and I went in to order, there were woman holding up the flow by indecision and I could see the frustration growing with the staff who were slammed with orders and trying to keep the movement going for others. A lot of people kept trying to come in and disregarding the sign on the door. As a customer, I felt a lot of empathy for the folks behind the counter. I have a lot of respect for the service industry. When it was my turn, I made my order thorough and concise with some humane kindness, and made my way out the door. I wish I got the name of the guy who's working behind the counter today, because he was absolutely incredible with kind eyes. He came around the counter and outside just to deliver me my drink personally. SO TOUCHING! I was touched. Honored. Flattered. This is the heart of humanity right here and something I uphold highly. I'm not from here and only visiting for a short time, but I tell you what, The Dez is on my map for everytime I come back.
I'd give more stars than 5 if Google would let me. My entire group of 6 talked about the amazement of the entire staff when we all left. Praises due to y'all. Keep doing what you're doing and putting the goodness out there.
Until next time,
Zynnia.

Cute little pop in shop if you are craving a snack or a sandwich. I love all the little things they have here - it's not as over priced as much of 5he desert and food will be quick. The carrot cake is sublime and absolutely worth it.

Stayed nearby and grabbed takeaway for nearly every meal. The salads are full of flavor and provide loads of energy for hikes in the dessert. The avocado toast is how it should be - simple and delicious. Iced americano, drip coffee and matcha lattes are also superb. Cannot sing loudly enough about The Dez . Staff is super friendly and so are the prices :)

Very small shop (not a problem, just and fyi). Went in for dessert and was not disappointed. They had many options of cakes in a nice display window. Went in quite close to closing but there was a nice selection of items to choose from. For a coconut cake slice and a chocolate cake slice and both were quite delicious. Service was very friendly. They only do carryout.

awesome spot for coffee, matcha and other premium goodies. super friendly folks too!
