"The açaí bowl is a definite highlight—fresh, perfectly blended, and topped generously with fruit and crunchy granola. It’s refreshing, flavorful, and feels both indulgent and healthy at the same time, making it an ideal choice any time of day. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bear claw pastries are just as impressive. Flaky, buttery, and baked to golden perfection, they strike the perfect balance between soft and crisp. Each bite is rich without being overly sweet, and they pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, a light snack, or a relaxed coffee break, the açaí bowls and bear claws alone make this spot well worth the visit."

"Feel the Bliss. Place is beautiful. Amazing staff, everything felt intentional and special. I had the gumbo with shrimp and plant-based sausage, and it was absolutely delicious. The concept is unique-hot food on one side, smoothies, coffee, and acaí bowls on the other. Every bite felt like a true culinary experience. Highly recommend stopping here."

"Very refreshing smoothie and clean atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop after a long day in Joshua Tree! Try the perfect date smoothie 10/10"

"No other place has ever forced me to focus so much on the lighting, for all the wrong reasons. I was drawn here after reading online about a ‘cozy new cafe’ in Joshua Tree. But upon arrival, the promised vibe was completely amiss. Instead, I found myself face-to-face with a culinary post-mortem in the middle of the desert. Why? I was honestly not sure if I walked into a cafe or the intake wing of a county morgue. In a town like Joshua Tree, where the California sun is practically generous and aplenty, this place has gone to impressive lengths to quite simply, ignore it. They seems to have traded the desert’s natural warmth for aggressive, white light tubes that feel less ‘cozy’ and more ‘fluorescent interrogation room.’ Why? The food is average at best, and it seems the açaí bowls are the only thing keeping the (migraine inducing) lights on. I had some orange juice and smoothie. The freshly pressed orange juice isn’t freshly pressed, it’s gets pressed in batches and stored so it was bitter. I mean, that also defeats the point of freshly pressed. The smoothie tasted alright tbf. The staff are nice and friendly here. To be honest, I didn't even want to try the rest of the menu after being subjected to the clinical atmosphere. A total disappointment and a waste of the Joshua Tree aesthetic where the sunlight literally begging to envelope this space with its glorious warmth."

"I really like the hot meals at Bliss Cafe. They have a creative menu with lots of vegetarian options. The staff is very nice, but there was a glitch with our order when we were there, so we had to wait for a while for our food. They were very up front about it though and offered us a free drink to make up for the mistake."
