The Dez
61705 29 Palms Hwy, Joshua Tree, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Joshua Tree's desert landscape, The Dez is a beloved local gathering spot where adventurers and residents alike fuel up before hitting the trails or simply settle in for unhurried mornings. The kitchen impresses with standout vegetarian options like their hot caprese sandwich and creative salads, paired with specialty coffee and pastries that justify the pilgrimage from nearby campgrounds. The genuinely warm staff and inviting outdoor seating make this feel less like a tourist pit stop and more like the kind of place you'd return to again and again.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
