"Incredible oasis in the high desert of Yucca Valley. La Copine is a true gem, serving outstanding farm-to-table food from breakfast through lunch—and it’s all fantastic. Every dish is delicious, the service is warm and on point, and the vibe is relaxed and welcoming. A genuinely amazing find in a place you’d never expect it. I wanted to try everything. I will be back! I arrived Sunday at 3 PM and there was no wait at the chef's table."

"We moved from Yucca a few months ago and still talk about how much we miss La Copine. The menu is creative, delicious and so well-thought out. They change it throughout the season which we love- thankfully the fried eggplant always stayed on the menu (that tomato chutney though 😍😍). We always expected a long wait time but were pleasantly surprised when we’d get seated quickly. Every member of the staff is so kind and we were just starting to feel like regulars when we had to move. It’s a gem and well-worth the visit! We loved everything on the menu but our faves were always the fried eggplant, chicken agrodolce, beignets with the coffee glaze, ricotta panna cotta, chicken piccata, whipped ricotta and figs and OMG the ribs- I was sitting a little far from the table one time bc I had my baby on my lap (trying to keep her from grabbing things) and while holding a rib in one hand and the baby with the other, watched as the meat literally slid off the bone and onto the floor- sad moment lol."

"A very nice restaurant near Joshua Tree. They have a really nice waiting area where you can play games with your friends. The fried eggplant is fresh, crispy, and well-seasoned. The mussels are flavorful but tend to cool down quickly (you need to eat them with the broth). The duck confit is also great and better than most restaurants in the Bay Area. The steak is tender and juicy, served with two perfectly cooked eggs. Lastly, I highly recommend the orange panna cotta! We waited a long time for it, but it was so delicious."

"Best food I've ever had. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the little store/boutique was so cute with some wine tasting. The owners are amazing women, so grateful to meet them. Overall such a wonderful experience! Making a reservation in advance would be ideal i think, but we did a walk-in and waited about an hour - totally worth the wait! Thank you Nikki, Claire, & staff🫶🏽 can't wait to come back"

"We thoroughly enjoyed the Lavish Lavash and Ricotta Gnocchi. The coffee and cocktails were delicious. Don't skip out on the beignets! The place was slammed but it gave us time to check out the cute little gift shop in the back. I went home with an adorable T-shirt and socks. This restaurant alone is worth a trip to JT!"
