Phoenicians who travel to Indio, California, for the three-day event headlined by Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone will find Lovebite among food vendors at Terrance South.
Owner Angel Gould shared she is “beyond excited” for Lovebite to be part of Coachella. The one-year-old restaurant has built a following locally for its affordability, quick service and a social media presence that blends a high-fashion photography aesthetic with Gen Z swag.
“We were actually approached by the festival organizers – they loved our concept and branding, which was such an incredible moment for us,” Gould shared via email. “At first, we couldn’t believe it, but the more we thought about it, the more we realized just how perfect our brand is for Coachella.”
A Lovebite Dumpling meal includes six potsticker dumplings, with veggie, pork, shrimp and chicken options.

Each meal is composed in a box, which when closed, has two tabs that pop up. When Lovesack’s bamboo utensils are slid between the tabs, it becomes a portable dumpling briefcase. The cute and practical packaging was appealing to festival planners, too, Gould shared, noting attendees can “grab a bite and keep enjoying the music without missing a beat.”
Lovebite is a rare Coachella food option from outside of Southern California.
“Bringing our flavors and energy from Phoenix is something we’re incredibly proud of,” Gould said. “It’s a chance to show festival-goers what our city has to offer and put our unique spin on festival dining.”
Can't make it to Coachella? Lovebite will maintain its normal hours in Phoenix while serving at the festival this weekend and next.
