items This is where I'd spend my money. I only recommend these places if I've actually shopped/eaten there with a good experience. Joshua Tree isn't very big so these lists are small.

Two locations, the pumpkin spice latte was awesome.
The DEZ fine food - takeaway - espresso
Great place for healthy snacks, drinks, and good quality vitamins and supplements. Need spices or loose leaf tea? This is the place. Want some slave-free chocolate? Get it here. Run out of whole bean coffee? They have delicious options. They even hav...
Joshua Tree Health Foods
They have a new location in Morongo Valley and boy am I happy about it. The produce is delicious and fresh, they have a section for discount produce, lots of choices for salted or spicy nuts and seeds, even some local honey and bee pollen. Most place...
Farmer In the Dale Morongo
A small local coffee roaster. The owner usually sets up at local events to make and sell fresh coffee. You can also buy a bag of whole beans to take and brew at home. Affordable and delicious. Check out her IG for info on where she'll be and where to...
Desert Rat Roasters (@desertratroasters) - Instagram
I shop here so much. It's not in Joshua Tree proper, it's in the next town over, Yucca Valley. Some of their inventory is always available but with a lot of the store, it's a great big box of chocolates. You'll always find chips, nuts, crackers, some...
Grocery Outlet
Gifts and stuff
Absolute best selection of handmade blankets that are perfect for the cold of the desert and keeping pesky sand from your picnic. Also a great place for unique (and funny) iron-on patches, leather goods, and vintage jackets.
Joshua Tree Blanket Co.
If you're looking for locally made gifts and small works of art, this is the place to be. Even the books are written by local authors. I'm a big fan of the handmade soaps. This location is now closed BUT the owner still sets up in the market on the s...
Soul Connection
An absolute must see is Realm of Crystal for beautifully handcrafted stone and wire-wrapped jewelry. Check out her IG, @realmofcrystal, and her FB, @RealmofCrystalM, for info and pics of her handiwork.
Realm of Crystal
Joshua Tree Themed Merch
Great place for Joshua Tree themed t-shirts and such. Last time I went in there they had cactus candy and some hiking gear too.
Coyote Corner
Artists and Art Galleries
A local photographer offering beautiful landscape prints. An avid hiker, his photos are often unique as few people go as off-road as he does for the perfect shot. Also offers tours, hikes, and photography workshops in the national park.
Fine Earth Photography by Mitch Miller | Fine Landscape ...
New shows every month and they almost always have a local member's show in the center gallery. You've got to check out the gift shop for handmade items from local artists. Lots of different things to choose from, metal works, postcards, jewelry, smal...
29 Palms Art Gallery
A great place to wander and check out all the incredibly unique artworks. It's outdoors so wear weather appropriate clothing and watch for snakes in the warmer months.
Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum
Magical at sunset.
‘Transmission’ Sculpture by Daniel Popper

There's almost always something going on at The Beatnik Lounge. A new art show just about every month, concerts, open mic nights for everyone from poets to singer/songwriters, and Sunny's Sunday SwapBeat featuring vintage records and rock n' roll mem...
