Park Rock Cafe, Joshua Tree CA

This little cafe is adjact to the Joshua Tree visitor center and the woman who was working the counter was super friendly. This bagel wasn’t the freshest bagel ever, but I appreciated that it came with fruit (which I wasn’t expecting) so it was a great value.

I really liked this roll. The addition of ripe mango was great and the pepper sauce kept everything bright and fresh. We were looking for light fare so this was perfect!

Tangerine wheat ale - Cheeky's

A refreshing citrus ale, Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat combines Lost Coast Harvest Wheat with natural tangerine flavors. Brewed with a combination of wheat and crystal malts, and finished with Perle hops. ABV 5.0%. $4
Cheeky’s, Palm Springs CA

As you may know, I’m not a huge beer drinker but this was really tasty and refreshing! The tangerine flavor wasn’t overpowering, but it added just enough brightness to make things interesting. Yum!
