LCJ Outpost is a charming, vegan-friendly spot located near Joshua Tree, perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal. The business offers a small but diverse menu featuring wraps, salads, smoothies, and desserts. Popular items include the hummus wrap with fresh vegetables, the Pesto-Cado with avocado and pesto, and the saffron rose rice pudding, which has a floral, chai-like flavor. Many customers appreciate the fresh, delicious, and filling food, often mentioning the generous portions and tasty flavors. The vegan honey and smoothies, like the mango immunity smoothie and the 50/50 option, are also highly recommended. The ambiance is outdoor only, which can be pleasant during good weather, but might be less comfortable during hot summer days. The outdoor seating is described as quaint and cute, with a small gravel parking lot nearby. Service is friendly, with staff sometimes going above and beyond, such as bringing food to cars during rain. Prices are reasonable, with some reviews noting that $12 for a latte and avocado toast is a good deal. While the menu is unique and offers healthy, filling options ideal after hiking or visiting Joshua Tree, some customers wish there was more transparency about ingredients, like the olive content in certain dishes. Overall, LCJ Outpost is praised for its quality food, friendly service, and cozy outdoor setting, making it a favorite stop for those seeking vegan eats in the area.
YVO still holds 5 stars, 5 years later. Love the mango immunity smoothie and the 50/50 options. Everything is just so so good. And the vegan honey... o.m.g. Buy some!

Metal storage container "bank", up on blocks out in the middle of the desert. Seems legit to me.
