Yucca Valley Outpost Café — Restaurant in Yucca Valley

Best kept secret in the desert! Feels like a local favorite but with an everyone’s welcome vibe.

Great owner Ray also showed us his antique shop and private club behind the cafe. It has amazing antiques for the best prices—we visited nearly every other antique shop in the area on our trip and Ray’s selection, quality and prices could not be beaten.

Great owner Ray’s Organic Market Cafe and Antique shop is definitely a must visit for anyone...

Cons: Not open all year round (best to check...

Such a lovely place! The owner is super friendly and passionate about what she's doing. We had a tarte with avocado and coconut/lemon which was to die for (still dreaming about it). They roast their own beans which means you get excellent coffee as well. We also bought some flavored salt and pickles. There are lovely gifts such as body scrubs, tea, salts... All handmade and organic! ❤️

Just one thing I would be more happy about and our planet as well: not only single use cups and boxes/cutlery. There are many other beautiful options which would be so much better avoiding this unnecessary amounts of trash all over the world. Everyone can do a little thing for...
