Joshua Tree Park Rock Café

Not the best place to get sandwiches. But if you want beverages before you enter the park this place will work. I would recommend only buying prepackaged foods at this place. The staff is rude and Based upon others, I wouldn't recommend the made to order foods.

Will not be going back. The breakfast sandwiches were okay but the coffee was horrible. My husband, son and I came in together, ordered 2 iced cappuccino and one hot chocolate. I only ordered the cappuccinos because I was looking for something strong but iced. The women assured me they could do it. Unfortunately after a 20+ minute wait I only recieved one coffee and the hot chocolate. We waited for our food, I figured the other coffee would be coming out as well. After finally getting the food, there was still no sign of the other coffee. The younger lady noticed I was still waiting and asked if I was waiting for something else. I told her about the other coffee and she quickly made it. I went to the counter to grab it and the older women behind the counter said I only ordered one. We spent 5 mins sitting there while they tried to find the order, once she found it she proceeded to tell me I needed to pay for the additional coffee. I said fine sy this point and then she said I would be charged a processing fee because it was under $10. I was obviously annoyed at this point, she then tells me she will wave the fee but I only ordered 1 coffee. First off I felt this was completely unprofessional to argue with a costumer in front of other patrons, second I came in with three people, I definetely ordered 3 drinks, the fact she wanted to shift the blame for her not listening to me was ridiculous. Also, the hot chocolate was way too hot. My son let it sit for 15 mins before trying to drink it and it still burnt his tongue to the point he started tearing up. I will never go back. The younger lady was sweet but the old women behind the counter should find another position.

We decided to stop by while we were visiting the visitor's center. The food was good but not great. The food is a little expensive and the facility really needs an update. Service was alright. The location is great, if the food was better it would be perfect.

Got a couple of breakfast sandwiches which were great. Coffee was strong which wasn't neither bad nor good. Overall it was a nice spot to grab a bite before heading into JTNP.

I really want to give this place a good review; the coffee was solid and the food was decent. We spent several days at Joshua tree park and came out for coffee three days in a row, which means something is working here. But something happened between the cashier and the cook each time we got food. Coffees were forgotten, the cheese was wrong, our side of salad needed prompting and finally my breakfast sandwich didn’t have avocado on it when I specifically ordered it FOR THE AVOCADO. It’s so close but so far, and after that many mistakes I feel I need to warn you. Check your food before you leave if you take it to go, and don’t ask for any special orders, because these girls get confused.
