La Copine

New American restaurant · Homestead Valley

@infatuation

"Even by Joshua Tree standards, La Copine is in the middle of nowhere. However, this daytime cafe (open 11am-4pm) serves our favorite food in the high desert and is worth the two-hour drive into no man’s land. The constantly-changing menu is on the smaller side, but with options like artichoke toast, rockfish ceviche, and a lamb burger, everyone in your group is going to find something they love. The bright, open space is an ideal hangout spot after you’ve immersed yourself in The Integratron sound bath in nearby Landers." - brant cox, garrett snyder
