Más o Menos

Came here a bit ago on a trip to Joshua Tree with some friends. We were trying to find a cute coffee shop/cafe to go to for a pick me up and stumbled across this place. I really liked it! It’s a very cute cafe, beautiful decorated to fit the environment of Joshua Tree while bringing a modern/hip/aesthetic vibe that makes it feel like it could belong in a more urban area. The inside is simple but cute. I loved that it is a coffee bar and cocktail lounge combined. We ordered our drinks to go but it looked like they had decent seating inside and outside. The menu was decent with different syrup options for you coffee/tea choices. I ordered an iced latte with caramel and it was tasty. The staff were nice, there were lots of little keepsake items you could buy like stickers and prints, lots of wine options, full bar, and they had body products and candles. The energy was very calm and relaxed inside. I didn’t know until reading other reviews that they have a photo booth out back. Will definitely check this place again in my next trip to Joshua Tree and will have to take a pic in the booth!

Came here for the drinks and aesthetics. Aesthetics are a hit. It’s a trendy place that hosted a variety of influencer type people when we were there. It’s definitely hip. We loved the drinks there. The service was decent. They were fast and efficient. Not necessarily rude, but not super friendly either. The vibes were a little off. I originally ordered the Grilled & Stuffed Chilaquiles Breakfast Burrito. Shortly after paying, they said they ran out a replaced it with a sloppy Joe burrito that was the same price around $15. I laughed to receive something that could be eaten in 3-4 bites. It did taste good though. Iced Lavender Gin Fog: 4/5 Sunny Delight: 4.5/5 Sloppy Joe Burrito (Vegan): 3:5/5, small, pricey, but did taste good.

We were on the hunt for an “Instagrammable” brunch spot in Joshua Tree — and found the one! This café looks straight out of a desert daydream — cozy patio, perfect décor, and so much charm. We ordered iced coffee, an iced matcha latte, and breakfast burritos — all so good! The only thing we wished for was a bigger menu (a few items were sold out). Bonus points for the surprise photo booth! Every place in Joshua Tree seems to have one, and this was no exception — such a fun keepsake to take home. A total must-visit for breakfast (and photos!) when in Joshua Tree. 🌵

Great coffee shop and its a bar as well 🤯. Great little spot to chill and relax. The Selena coffee was amazing. We sat outside and enjoyed the outdoors. The restroom was pretty decorative and enjoyed the Disco in there.

Cute restaurant with decent outdoor and small indoor seating area. Food was good, small wait time for food and long wait time to order but usually worth it. They do have cocktails and other drink options. The cocktails were cool but not really worth it, not strong at all. Good portions are fair for the price. Very picturesque all around, good vibes and great attitude and atmosphere from everyone

The place is located on the main highway easy to find and park. The look of this place is really nice and mellow minimal and simple I liked how it was themed to like desert colors almost and just had a nice vibe to it. The drinks were amazing I think I haven’t been to a bar in a minute that really plays well with fresh flavors in their cocktails and I enjoyed every drink I had. They have nice Photo Booth outside and I think it’s the perfect addition to their place. Will come back when I stay in Joshua tree again!

I spotted this place on Instagram and convinced my boyfriend to check it out. On the way, we kept wondering how such a gorgeous spot (according to Instagram) could possibly be thriving in the middle of nowhere. Google Maps called it a “cocktail bar” … and we were heading there at 9 a.m. Not sure what our plan was. 😅 When we pulled in, the parking lot was packed—first surprise. Inside, the guy at the register was incredibly friendly. He recommended the breakfast burrito (which was phenomenal, especially with the white garlic sauce). I ordered an iced latte, but then he casually said, “If you’re looking for something with espresso, you won’t find better than our espresso martini.” I mean… at 9 a.m.? Scratch the latte—espresso martini it is. 😂 The food? Amazing. The cocktails? Exactly what we didn’t know we needed. Atmosphere and service? Perfect. And the merch? Couldn’t resist—a hat and t-shirt came home with me. Will 100% be back next time we’re in the area.

This is the best coffee you will get in Joshua Tree (if your taste lands closer to third wave). The vibe is excellent, Photo Booth super fun, and the folks working are attentive and friendly. The downfall of the place is their hot drinks. If you’re used to a classic cap ratio, I would recommend an iced drink such as a latte (mine was great!) or one of their excellent teas! Overall would recommend if you’re staying out in Joshua Tree and are on the prowl for artisan coffee.

Service: love the super fun, friendly staff Drinks: made well and come out so fast! Like-- how?! * carajillo is solid! Just a tad sweet, smoky and coffee-y. * sunny delight is tart, spiced with turmeric and ginger, and topped with a candied ginger that is just so fun to nibble on throughout the night. * love that they have Orin swift 8YITD. Iykyk Ambiance: if you're in the area during a night with an artist feature, don't miss out!! During the day, this is a cute, cozy coffee shop and a total vibe in the evening. TLDR: coffee is solid, but the drinks are even better. If you're in JT, try to fit this into your itinerary. If you like coffee, get the carajillo. It can get crowded on weekends, so just chill in the patio and vibe out to the music.

LOVEDDDDDUHHHHH the atmosphere, the service, and the drinks were all amazing. I wish we had a más o menos in san diego

The focaccia had ZERO flavor, the Italian sandwich was good, the margarita was arguably one of the worst I've had which is wild but other then that, the layout of the restaurant is nice, there is nice outdoor seating and the service was good. The price of the food was a little high for what you get. Somewhat forgettable experience

Went here for coffee on our way out of town. Staff was amazing and friendly. My peppermint mocha was perfect. Not too sweet. Looks like a really fun place. My friend and I agreed we had to go back for cocktails and evening life there on our next trip to the desert. My only complaint was the amount of flies inside, there was a lot.

Visited this cafe on a Tuesday afternoon and really enjoyed it! Luckily, it wasn't too busy, which made it a nice and relaxing stop. I've heard they can get pretty packed during the busy season and on weekends, but that just shows how popular the place is. The vibe was great, and I noticed they host different events that look amazing. I got a chai drink and came back the next day to try their cocktails. I was glad I did because the Mezcal drink I ordered was delicious! I'll definitely plan to come back on a weekend to experience one of those. Overall, a cozy spot worth checking out whether you're just stopping in for a quiet weekday visit or looking for a livelier weekend scene.

Was on my list of places to go to when visiting Joshua Tree because 1) matcha 2) photo booth :) We came in the afternoon at around 11:30 so wasn't busy at all. They have a designated parking lot. Place is very cozy and quaint with several spots for seating. They have an even bigger outdoor area for seating where the photo booth is also located. $5 for two copies. Everything was super aesthetic and it's a really great place to take pictures. They turn into a bar at night! 4/10 Matcha ($6.5): Got the matcha with regular milk and no sweetener/syrup because I was a little confused with the menu pricing for flavored syrup. It was not good at all, just tasted like bitter milk. Requested syrup in my drink which didn't really help, but I was dehydrated in the hot sun so I was able to finish the drink. Overall, come for the vibes and photo ops, but don't expect too much of the drinks.

LOOKING FOR A HIP DESTINATION in Joshua Tree, YOU NEED STOP BY MAS O MENOS. We arrived around 8:20pm on a Saturday, the security did ID us at the entrance. This place is a super cute Bar/Cafe. They have live music , good drinks, and it is family friendly. We enjoyed some cocktails, coffee and matcha. Great place to end your day or get it started like we did. Stargazing Night for the Family.

What a great spot! We came here for drinks with our pup. Friendly staff and great cocktails! Super cute decor and ambiance. Def will be a regular spot when we're in the desert!

I understand why this cafe is on everyone's tiktok when visiting joshua tree. They ran out of the breakfast burrito on a Monday at 12pm so we got the egg, bacon & cheddar and it was delicious. The vanilla latte was yummy and the milk didn't overpower the flavor. The strawberry matcha cocktail was so good, I would go back just for that drink. The outside area was spacious and perfect for people with dogs. Overall, you'd be missing out if you didn't visit this cafe when visiting joshua tree.

A spot worth driving three hours for. Beautiful scenery, great coffee and mimosas. Food is amazing and service is outstanding!

Absolutely stunning coffee shop! This was one of my stops, and I had to go here. I've seen it all over TikTok, and the coffee was to die for. I got one of their fall specials. I do wish there wasn't that much ice in my coffee though. But the outside of the café, as well as the inside, provided great opportunities for photos for me and my friends.

Unfortunately our visit didn't turn out like we had hoped. While the shop is aesthetically pleasing and prices are reasonable, the ambiance was off-- just as some of the one star reviews have mentioned. It is disappointing given the potential of the space. Customer service could definitely improve on being more welcoming and inclusive (specifically the shorter statured man). My party and I felt uncomfortable-- as if we were being watched, rather than being offered help. Although it wasn't all the staff members, but one in particular that defined the ambiance for us. If you want a welcoming and chill ambiance, I would look elsewhere. BUT if you want an aesthetically appealing space then go for the quick pictures and head out.

Gorgeous! Especially all the outdoor space. Small indoor area is cute with a bar. The coffee and matcha drinks we had were good enough. We shared a $15 small burrito which I did not care for. Inexplicably came with a tiny teeny side of ranch. My friend liked the ranch and wanted more which they indicated would be $1.25....for what amounts to about a teaspoon. Ummm, ok. I can understand why this spot is popular with the influencer TT set. Nice setting for photo and video opps. Not a lot on that stretch of the highway between 29 Palms and JT. Might go back for a coffee or might not. It's set against a stunning backdrop and they have a lot of performances and events happening on their outdoor stage / patio area and it's a nice place for the community to hang. Extra star for all that. Service was fine.

Mas O Menos is a fab lil place for a solid coffee bev or a yummy cocktail. Casual vibe with nice outdoor space to chill in, staff is accommodating and personable. A nice mix of a local scene but gets busy on the weekends with tourists. They sometimes have food from vendors which is always delish, and they have a small selection of grab and go items, but mostly a coffee and cocktail spot. 5/5!

Came here this afternoon because we were told by 3 different people to try out this place. Very cool vibe. They had a dj playing music, seats inside and outside, and an array of cocktails and mocktails. Huge parking lot right off highway. The only wish was that there was more food options. If they had a food truck that would even be great.

This place is sooo cute! I felt like I was in Mexico again. The vibes were immaculate, im sure this is a fun place at night. I went here as a first stop in JT for some much needed coffee. The Mexican mocha did not disappoint! Very strong, which makes it so easy to sip on. I also tried the chilaquile burrito, which I ordered twice because it was good (smallish) but places like this it's obviously common. The service was very friendly and helpful! I loved everything about this place including the disco light bathroom and the picture booth! A must try while in Joshua Tree.

Super cute coffee shop that turns into a cocktail bar in the evenings. Came in for a cup of Joe. Baristas were super friendly. Will be back when in Joshua Tree again

Came here the other weekend on a Sunday, the ambience and vibes are immaculate! Highly recommend their Micheladas

The coffee here is pretty good! They have a wide variety of cocktails that are unique. It's also really pretty and great for photos!

My favorite cafe in Joshua Tree! Plenty of parking and friendly service. I got one of their specialty iced lattes with some cinnamon and a chilaquiles burrito - both of which I enjoyed. Favorite parts to this place is the cute aesthetic and plenty of outdoor space. WiFi connection works well outdoors too. I've got to come back to check out one of their evening events!

Delicious coffee, nice little shop, nice indoor/outdoor seating, and great vibes. Wanted to gate-keep this spot, but the world deserves to know. It's a bit hidden, but worth it - the best coffee shop in the area. Pro tip: they have a cool Photo Booth in the back patio, grab a quick photo to remember your trip.

Nice decor, good burritos, good drinks. The staff was very friendly. Would definitely come again if I'm in the area.

Mas o Menos is a cozy cafe/bar near 29 Palms. We stopped in for post dinner drinks around 6:30PM. The place was pretty lively but we grabbed a seat in a cozy corner near the front door. You order up at the bar and then wait for your name to get called. I had the iced earl grey latte with gin and it was so good! I also had a French 75 which was perfect. My boyfriend enjoyed his drinks as well - an old fashioned and a beer. The sound level in the space was adequate and not too loud. The energy was very chill and relaxed. I could easily have spent all night there. There's ample seating outside with pretty lights. They had a pop up food truck when we were there but didn't partake as we had just eaten. The staff were all super nice. They have two bathrooms and both were very clean. Ample parking is available. They have some small items for sale from local artists and vendors - ceramics, food, etc. Loved our time here! Great for a cozy date night or hanging with friends. Also - they have a photo booth so make sure to take advantage of that.

A very cool spot just outside of Joshua Tree, for day or night. We came on a Friday morning during what I believe is the low season, late June, and it was pretty empty during our whole visit but I'm seeing in other reviews that it can get packed. There are a few tables inside but most of the seating is outdoors in their large backyard space. It has a very cool, low key vibe. We ordered a chai latte and a dirty chai and I have to say that the dirty chai was the clear winner. The chai latte was a little milky. They don't make any food here but offered pre-perpared breakfast sandwiches. They're on the smaller side but we split one and it was a nice snack, with good flavors. I'd love to come back at night for some of their live music and natural wine.

I saw this cute little cafe all over social media and made it my mission to stop by while in JT! While the space (both interior and exterior!) and the photo booth lived up to the hype, their drinks fell a bit short. Starting with the good things, I absolutely loved how they decorated the space! Featuring beautiful artwork and goodies for sale from local small businesses, offering a wide variety of different seating options, having a photo booth on-site, and doing it all with a gorgeous backdrop, I was in love. An amazing place to spend some down time and just chill. Onto the not-so-great things... my group ordered a variety of drinks- a few teas and a chai latte. None of these really hit the spot. Being from coastal cities in SoCal, we are really spoiled by cafe culture and know a good drink when we come by one! We got the teas iced and they all tasted really watery. The chai latte tasted like cinnamon-y milk. Not our favorites.

This was my first time here and I love everything about this place. First of all, they have coffee and cocktails !! Crazy right ? I didn't get coffee but I did have one of their strawberry matcha cocktails and omg, it was divine ! This place is so cute and has that cozy feeling to it. They also have outdoor seating and a Photo Booth out for only 5$! Service was simple and quick with friendly staff. This place would have live bands perform and I believe a pizza truck that comes. I would definitely recommend this as a top 5 places you need to try when visiting Joshua tree

Super cute and cool stand alone place out in Joshua Tree! Stopped by before going into the park and got a nice refreshing drink! Really liked that they had a wide range of drinks for coffee lovers but also people they just want a lemonade or tea! Very spacious inside and outside & the photo booth is so cute!! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area!

The place was great but the vibe of one of staff isn't good she just kept staring at me back front like I don't know her problem is. The match isn't good if your really matcha drinker you should know when a matcha is good or not. The match tasted like watered down matcha and the price is over price for that kind of matcha. 2 match cost 18$ isn't worth it. If only it was a high quality matcha then the price will be worth but apparently isn't. Should improve the ingredients. Try it you guys like but it might be ur first and last visit. Just a warning your money won't be worth.

Cutie coffee shop with lots of vibey outside seating, parking lot, and a photobooth in the back. The photobooth was $5 plus tax for 2 strips of 3 photos each. The quality of the photos surprised me and I would honestly go back just to take pics next time I'm in Joshua tree I got a matcha latte with regular milk and vanilla sweetener. Pleasantly surprised. Nice matcha flavor and minimal clumpage! The cashier was super nice and chill. They also sell local artists works and an assortment of wines and random things.

I love this place!!! I was excited to come back when I was in Joshua Tree this last weekend. I tried the dirty chai this time and loved it so much that I came back and got it the next morning too!! I love that they have a side window area if you have a dog. It was super easy to walk up and order and hangout on the outside patio furniture. We got our drinks quickly and they were super yummy. Both times that we went this last weekend the staff was really friendly. Very welcoming and super super nice!! This is overall one of the best little coffee shops I've tried and I just love the vibe of the place. Highly recommend giving it a try if you are in the area looking for a bomb dirty chai or latte. Lavender latte was delicious as well!

We stopped by on a Saturday morning when it was pretty busy. We ordered coffee and a breakfast burrito and were told it'd be ready in about 15-20 minutes. After waiting around 35 minutes and seeing people who ordered after us get their food, we asked them to check on our order. They said it would be right out, but another 10-15 minutes passed before it finally came. They did give us a cookie to make up for the delay, which was nice I guess, but they forgot the extra sauce we paid for. It seemed like our order might've just been overlooked. The burrito itself was good, just not quite worth a 45-minute wait.

My mom and I bumbled into Mas o Menos because we really needed a latte. The decor gave a modern Spanish feel. With a minimal exterior but blended so well with the desert. Inside, you'll find a beautiful bar and a lovely seating area for you to relax and enjoy your coffee, along with a display of merchandise, local ceramics and wines and at the front, you'll also find some matchbooks for you to take home as a souvenir. I didn't get to check out the outside, but as the other yelpers mentioned, there is big outdoor patio (I heard there are shows and entertainment outside at nighttime, and a Photo Booth customers to use. The barista was very friendly and welcomed us in. My mom got an iced latte with lavender and almond milk and I got an iced dirty chai latte and we got it to go. My mom really enjoyed her latte she said it was made perfectly. I felt my dirty chai latte was really subtle on the chai part, I felt more spice needed to be added to it, like cinnamon. But, to be fair maybe the syrup was at the bottom and I needed to mix it (I forget to do that sometimes) I did like it still and would maybe try it again next time in the area. The coffee is also made using Canyon Coffee (a favorite of mine from Echo Park/Silverlake area). Additionally the place also hosted a Martha Stewart look-a-like contest where the grand prize was $50 and free cookies for anyone who came. I wish I went but I'm happy we got to stop by and check it out, it made our vacation more memorable.

Overall such a cute place! Let's first talk drinks. I got a lavender iced latte with oat milk. While it was good, I would give it a 3.5/5 as I only got a hint of the lavender taste. The service was great though, as the woman who took my order was very friendly. It was pretty crowded when we went though (10am) so be prepared to wait. The outside is a great place to take pics and there's even a photo booth! It's also dog friendly :)

Their lavender ginger kombucha was insane like I specifically go here whenever I visit Joshua tree. Their coffees and food is also pretty good. Always coming back

Más o Menos is a must when you're in the area. We went on a Monday at 11am and it was decently busy. Lots of parking and the staff were helpful. Such a gorgeous patio and interior with lots of seating options and some shade. Downside is that there wasn't any music inside or outside to add to the ambiance. My lavender latte was delicious. My boyfriend's mocha tasted more like chocolate milk. Would love to come back for cocktails sometime.

great place for drinks when staying in joshua tree. Even though it was hot (desert heat in the summer) and busy staff were friendly and service was quick. Refreshing drinks and pretty desert vibes!!

This is such a little coffee shop! We came here before going to Joshua Tree for a little drink and to visit their photo booth! I got the matcha which is a little overpriced but I guess you could justify it as the barista made it the traditional way by sifting the matcha and using a bamboo whisk. The matcha was a nice good quality and if you're from out of the area it's worth a try but I wouldn't come back as a repeat customer.

Adorable spot we found on our trip to 29 Palms. This place was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. The ambience was stellar paired with friendly staff and good drinks. They even had a trivia night when we were there, super fun! Plus all the locals were welcoming, it felt like a true community. I will definitely be returning when I'm in the area next and recommend you try it out!

What amazing coffee! The best we had in the area. The atmosphere of the location was cool too. We really enjoyed stopping in. It's worth the drive.

Such a gem. A great stop on your way to Joshua Tree National Park. We tried a few of the tea drinks. My favorite was the hot matcha late. They use a very rich matcha. I added a pump of lavender and was delicious! Lovely outdoor seating. They also have a cute lil photo booth. Bathrooms available.

The scenery here was very beautiful. Plenty of outdoor seating and a very cute photo booth. The matcha and the teas are delicious.

Fun atmosphere in what is a small white structure that used to be a house. They have quality coffee, tea, and mixed drinks as well as beer. And they frequently feature pop-ups such as I Fall to Pizzas and Friendo Burger. Furthermore, on certain days and many weekends, they have DJs there, including Dub Club and others. Nice atmosphere, friendly people. The not-so-great part is that it can get extremely crowded. The lack of a sign out front doesn't stop people from finding the place, and it's been featured in many magazines and newspapers. They're also experts at getting the word out via social media. We're lucky that we are local and can show up whenever we want, and during the weekdays, it's not too bad (most of the time), especially mid-day. On weekends, however, you better get there early, especially if you want to put in an order with I Fall to Pizzas. We showed up to check out one of the DJs around sunset during high season in March, only to discover that a pizza would take 90 minutes, and they had already sold out of at least one of the flavors. Shortly after that, they sold out of everything. Friendo Burger is usually around 15 minutes even during high season, however. The line for drinks can get absurdly long on weekends as well. However, the mixed drinks are inventive and fun. I'm not a coffee drinker, but am told that they are quite good. Most of the places to hang out are outside, and the place is comfortable and vibey, with lots of views of the mountains in JTNP nearby. We've been there three times so far, so obviously, we do like the place quite a bit.

We stopped by here on a trip to Joshua tree and my iced matcha was perfect. My friends all enjoyed their coffees as well, and the ambience was really nice. They had a cute photo booth as well!

Amazing aesthetics and seating area! I loved their menu options + Photo Booth. The Arnold Palmer was really good, but I would not recommend the matcha. I only tasted the milk and was unable to taste any matcha flavor. But i bet the other drinks are good!!

A cute stand, but the drinks were disappointing. I got the matcha lemonade and it just tasted like very sour watered down lemonade. My friend got an iced tea and it also tasted watered down. Another friend got matcha latte and there was no matcha and just tasted like milk.

Incredible vibes and friendly staff! We stopped in for a few drinks and to finish the workday. They have lots of tables inside and outside. The WiFi worked great even with a lot of people using it. They also have live music but unfortunately we didn't stay for this. Would definitely come back again!

I was at the Saloon the night previous and a really sweet local told me I had to stop here for coffee and drinks, so I woke up the next morning, grabbed the work bag and headed over. It's easy to miss this spot as it's a little further down the highway, so I'm grateful I was told about it--the dirty chai I got here was pretty damn good. On top of that, everyone working this spot was very kind and generous. They have WiFi so I setup shop and worked here most of the day. Later on we switched up to cocktails, which means this coffee shop is 21 and over and doubles as a bar! They had good tunes playing all day and a really thoughtful backyard patio area with a nice photo booth and a stage. (They were doing a little battle of the bands event later in the day) I didn't get to try the food but it looked great, and all the items seemed to be a collab with the local pizza peeps, I fall to pizzas! Cocktails, coffee, food, atmosphere, this spot checks all the boxes
