Coachella's Food Lineup Drops

With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today during our fall member drive. 


Coachella begins in a couple of weeks, and along with options to catch sets from Guns 'n' Roses, LCD Soundsystem, and Taylor Swift's boyfriend, festival attendees may also choose to indulge in some food; after presumably weeks (months?) of fasting on the #coachelladiet, you'll need some nourishment to get you through the long days and even longer nights. Coachella may be in the desert, but it's certainly no food desert!! There are a lot of great options for chowing down in between sets. (Don't be misled by our phony flier; all the vendors will be there on every day of the festival.)Some L.A. standouts that will have stalls at Coachella include Jonathan Gold-approved Guerrilla Tacos,Koreatown's Beer Belly, Roy Choi's Commissary, Thai favorites Pok Pok, and Asian-inspired fare from Echo Park's Button Mash. Blue Bottle and Menotti's Coffee will be pumping attendees full of caffeine, and there will be plenty of options for sweets on hand; Silver Lake's recently-opened Donut Farm has vegan donuts, "gourmet s'mores" from Mallow Mallow, and a couple different spots for ice cream. Eater's got the full list here.

Or you just could stick around town for Localchella and support your local dirty dog purveyors instead.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
