"Even by Joshua Tree standards, La Copine is in the middle of nowhere. That said, this daytime cafe (open 11am-4pm) serves some of the best food for miles and is worth the extra drive into the desert. The fantastic, always-rotating menu is on the smaller side, but with options like shrimp rolls, steak sandos, and duck confit, it covers a lot of ground and is more upscale than most places you find around Joshua Tree. The bright, open space is the ideal hangout spot after you’ve immersed yourself in The Integratron sound bath in nearby Landers, CA." - Brant Cox
