  I came here for lunch with my daughter today. We enjoyed the Haven Club which was a very hearty portion we were able to share. Quiet and clean and the family that owns the business is friendly.
  
  I have seen some negative reviews but I was very happy with our visit and will definitely be back. I wish this business continued success. Yes, we had a wait but it's understandable from a mom and pop business and I'll gladly wait for quality food.

  This was a very neat spot. My husband and I stopped by early this morning (no wait) and the hostess/chef was very polite. I ordered the French toast combo (very yummy) and the Caramel White Chocolate Coffee (literally amazing, better than Starbucks and I LIVE for bucks!) husband ordered the breakfast sandwich with a side of fruit.
  
  I loved the environment, the decor was awesome. Definitely coming back for lunch one of these days.

  Customer service like this is why small businesses go under.
  
  This is harsh to say, I'm aware. But if you want people to support your business, you just gotta be kind and welcoming to them.
  
  I came here with my family on a Sunday at 1:40. We noticed employees bringing in outside furniture since they closed at 2.
  
  One of the employees asked: "are you coming inside to order?" After we said yes, she said "ok we close in 10 minutes".
  
  Not only was she lying (since they closed in twenty minutes) but this isn't the way you welcome someone to your restaurant.
  
  Someone, who over the course of their lifetime, would gladly give you thousands of dollars.
  
  Anyway. About the food.
  
  It was decent. Nothing to be disappointed about but also not good enough to make me forget about the first impression.
  
  Well, I won't be giving my money to this place.
  
  I really want to find a good sandwich shop nearby who loves their community and is stoked on every person who walks in.
  
  If anyone can point me in that direction, I'd appreciate it.

  We just went to get breakfast at one of our favorite places but they are temporarily closed due to change in ownership! So sad! Hopefully it won't change too much from what we've enjoyed here. But if they include Boarshead meats and gluten free options we might still be big fans. The change in rating is due to "wait and see" status until we return and try it out when they reopen.

  Great spot for brunch and lunch!
  
  My friends and I stopped here for a quick breakfast and also to pick up food for lunch later while we were in Joshua Tree.
  
  We came around 10:15 am on a Friday and it was pretty empty.
  
  They have an all day breakfast menu as a wide selection of sandwiches, paninis, wraps, and salads. Their beverage/coffee selection is quite impressive as well.
  
  Their pastries looked delicious, so I decided to get an apple pie for breakfast. For lunch, I went with a breakfast burrito ($9.99).
  
  The apple pie was huge, at least twice the size of a Macdonalds pie. They toasted it for me before serving, so it came out nice and warm. They were quite generous with the apple pieces and each bite was chock full of gooey and cinnamon-y apple deliciousness.
  
  The breakfast burrito was delicious! I loved how much egg they put in, and the avocado they used was ripe and creamy. I ate it a couple hours later, so it had cooled down, but even then it was still pretty good. We weren't expecting much from this place since it was in the middle of nowhere, but all of us were very pleasantly surprised.
