Get ready to 'gram everything.
Waffle Pops
Waffles have been turned into ice cream cones and vehicles for syrup-slathered fried chicken, but now they're getting the lollipop treatment at Sweet Combforts. And with all of your favorite sweet toppings — chocolate, Oreos, sprinkles, Fruity Pebbles — they're poised to become Coachella's most viral food.

Cheesy Tots
This is some next-level sh*t right here. At Paper Planes, raclette cheese gets melted and scraped right off the wheel immediately after you order.

MacAttack Burger
Forget the ramen burger. This breadcrumb-crusted mac and cheese bun makes for the most indulgent burger we've ever seen. Created by Pig Pen Delicacy, this thing is food porn personified.
Japanese-Mexican Hot Dogs
Sumo Dog will be a hit at the festival for sure, thanks to pork, beef, and vegan dogs topped with a mashup of Japanese and Mexican accoutrements like guacamole, tempura crunchies, and miso pork chili.

Matcha Mixtures
These vivid drinks from MatchaBar start with a green tea base, which are amped up with a jolt of lime, mint, or coconut.

Blackjack Quesadilla
Kogi BBQ loads this quesadilla with caramelized onions, spicy pork, and both cheddar and jack cheeses. But then it also gets smothered in a cooling citrusy-jalapeño salsa verde.
