Nestled in the high desert, La Copine serves vibrant New American dishes in a bright, minimalist space that radiates good vibes and local charm.
"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
"Minimalist desert style meets thoughtful and creative dishes at this stylish fine dining hot spot. La Copine hits all the right notes with its sun-bathed interior and seasonal dishes. The seasonal menu includes an eclectic array of cuisine, which can include items like rillettes de canard, beets and burrata, creamy grits, and warm beignets. Only open Thursday through Sunday, La Copine is very popular and only offers a handful of reservations booked via text message — but it’s worth waiting for a table." - Eater Staff
"La Copine serves vibrant dishes such as Jidori chicken liver pate, wagyu beef steak sandwich, and salade Lyonnaise. It's a year-round destination for low-intervention wines and innovative food." - Eater Staff
"Even by Joshua Tree standards, La Copine is in the middle of nowhere. That said, this daytime cafe (open 11am-4pm) serves the best food in the High Desert and is worth the extra drive to Flamingo Heights. 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'll find around Joshua Tree. The bright, open space is the ideal hangout spot after you’ve immersed yourself in The Integratron sound bath nearby. " - Brant Cox
