Before you hit the trails, wake up with a local cup of joe from one of these independently-owned coffee spots near Joshua Tree National Park. 

UPDATE 10/8/2021: We’re adding Wonder Lake Coffee @wonderlakecoffee to the top of the list as 29Palms very own local coffee roaster. While you cannot purchase a brewed cup just yet, you can buy a bag at @desierto_alto or @hidesertdaydream.

1. Joshua Tree Coffee Company

Joshua Tree Coffee Company’s reputation for having the best coffee in town is no surprise since Joshua Tree Coffee Company roasts its own beans. This roastery offers a wide variety of hot and iced coffee and espresso-based beverages, and has a more limited selection for non-coffee drinkers. Stop in on the way to your AirBnB for the weekend to pick up a bag of beans for your entire stay.

WKNDR Tip: In 29Palms? Stop into the Desert Beacon to grab a free sample of freshly brewed Joshua Tree Coffee Company coffee or purchase a bag of ground coffee to-go.

In addition to Campbell Hill Bakery’s excellent coffee (our favorite is the peanut butter and banana iced coffee), this local gem serves up the most delicious homemade breads and pastries.
