Food For Thought Cafe - JOSHUA TREE

This is such a unique place and we absolutely loved our food eaten on the outdoor patio seated by a fountain. Everything is vegetarian or vegan and they can accommodate gluten free. So enjoyed the vegan burger which I believe was called the Vortex and was housemade served with a vegan chipotle aioli and arugula. I also had a vegan cactus soup which I believe was a special. Looking forward to returning! Updated from previous review on 2024-01-15

This is an interesting place. The retreat was designed by Loyd Wright, Frank Loyd Wrights son. The menu changes. Open Wednesday-Sunday. Always happy with their vegan food. Updated from previous review on 2023-12-31

Beautiful little cafe in a retreat space in the desert. There is a deck and gardens to sit in if you want to eat outside, which we did and it was lovely. We had just egg scrambles with hash browns and toast. They have vegan smart balance butter. The food was just pretty good but really loved the vibe overall. 100% worth a stop for a sit down meal.

This is a cool place to go for a vegan/ vegetarian meal! The Mexican bowl (with no cheese) was delicious. It’s spacious and relaxing inside, with a few of the sculpture garden and Joshua trees. Service is very friendly. I think it could improve by adding more vegan breakfast options.

There is a rotating menu always with a vegetarian and can be made vegan option. We had a salad and veg burger. I have also stopped here for tea. We are so. Glad there is another option and that the retreat center made the kitchen open to the public. Convenient to JT and YV- easy off the 62 especially westbound. Double check the hours. Also, check out their schedule of classes for meditation, yoga, and special events.
