Crossroads Cafe - JOSHUA TREE

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.

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!

We’ve been coming here for ten years, and it’s always been great for breakfast and lunch. Hint if you like tuna melts, theirs is the best especially with their incredible tomato basil soup. One of the best restaurants 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.

You have to eat here! Soy chorizo us out if this world! Everything is so fresh, and you can watch them make you food if sitting at the counter. Mimosas are so good. Everyone seemed like they just loved working there. It's worth the wait! I went back for dinner also
