"Walk into the bustling marketplace and cafe Joan’s on Third and see a vibrant strata of Angelenos congregating over the prepared foods case or asking about favorite sandwiches at the counter. The open dining rooms with communal tables lead to making new friends. Order one of the bowls of soup that change every day and you’ll be likely to strike up a conversation. As winter turns to spring in Los Angeles, the tomato and orange soup offers a hint of warmer days, with a slightly creamy soup that is well-blended and excellently smooth, finishing with a whisper of fragrant orange peel. It’s delightful, and works great as a companion to Joan’s cheesy short rib sandwich. — Matthew Kang, Eater Southern California/Southwest lead editor" - Rebecca Roland
"Your dog is a star. You know, she knows it, we all know it. And there’s no better place to give her the attention she deserves than at Joan’s on Third. The 3rd St. marketplace is still one of the most popular lunch spots in Beverly Grove. Expect a patio full of people giving your little princess her moment in the spotlight while you're knee-deep in one of their excellent salads." - brant cox
"This infamous West Hollywood staple lives up to his hype. Delicious options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, take-home and dine-in - I am never disappointed. From fresh juices, great coffee, roasted veggies, and pulled pork sandwiches, there is something for everyone. You may even spot a celebrity or two at your next visit." - Onyx
"Lunchtime in LA and Joan’s on Third are basically synonymous with each other, and for good reason. The marketplace/cafe/local dog red carpet has solid food, a great sidewalk patio, and a menu large enough that everybody in the group will find something to eat. The Chinese chicken salad is a classic, but stick to any sandwich or salad and you’ll be just fine. Joan’s is a total scene, but it certainly beats sitting alone in Qdoba." - brant cox
"Eating lunch on Joan’s outdoor patio while wearing oversized sunglasses is an LA rite of passage, but it’s not the only way you can eat their food. Getting their very good sandwiches and salads (the Chinese chicken salad is still one of the best in LA) delivered to your door is a luxury that beats sitting on any patio any day of the week." - brant cox, brett keating
