Joan's on Third

I went to this restaurant in October 23 as I was in LA visiting friends. We managed to get a 4 seater table which was perfect as we had 3 adults and 2 kids so we managed to put a high chair on the end. So you order at one section which is easy to do. Then you are given a number for your food. We ordered a fried chicken sandwich, avocado toast, buttermilk pancakes and a salad. It's an average price for LA but I'm from the UK so I always grudge the price a little!! But the food was great and the food arrived within 10 minutes. Worth a try if you are in the area. It was very busy!

This review is strictly for the food and not the dining experience because we always have this delivered. On weekend mornings, this is our go to. We order from Joan’s on DoorDash and it feels like room service. We always order the New York breakfast Sandwich with hash browns. The sourdough bread is perfectly buttered and toasted, the eggs are scrambled and folded just right to fit in the sandwich and the bacon is just the right thickness. Our cats come running when it arrives so they can enjoy a few tiny pieces of bacon. They don’t do this for any other restaurant we order from even if it includes bacon. I really enjoy the breakfast sandwich, their meatloaf and buttery mashed potato’s. Their baked goods are also solid specifically their chocolate chip cookie, carrot cake and rice crispy treat. Thank you Joan’s!

Always great food, comfortable environment, and a cool and laid back crowd. The Studio City location has a star studded clientele so don't be surprised if you are seated next to a famous face at one of the community tables. Order the: pancakes, short rib sandwich or their famous Chinese Chicken Salad.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this family owned and operated gourmet deli restaurant. The actual Joan is still running it! A delightful place with a wide variety of upscale prepared foods, salads, meats and excellent pastries to eat here or take home. Charming Nancy-Meyers-movie like atmosphere. Comfort food from their deli or bakery. They're justifiably famous for the Chinese chicken salad. I love their terragon chicken salad which can also be made into a sandwich. Egg salad is equally great. Make room for their delicious dessert, too. Their marketplace has gourmet food from around the globe, and cool gift items, too. Park around the block in the neighborhood (the bank used to let you pay to park but inexplicably ended that).

Kind of confusing layout in terms of figuring out where to order, however our food came out relatively quickly and was delicious! they even took away our plates after we had got to-go boxes and had been chatting there for awhile. there’s not much sound-proofing material around, so it gets pretty loud when at capacity, but overall a good, enjoyable restaurant!

The atmosphere of this place is so nice. The food is okay. It’s good if you don’t want to cook and want to take it away with you. But it is pre-made in hulk so it just sits out for a while.

This used to be one of my favorite spots. Always frequented the original at Third and Fairfax. Bad enough the prices are on the up. Last thing I expected was their sacred Chinese Chicken Salad to give me food poisoning. 🤮 was the only thing I had to eat today due to a busy morning. 4 hours later I'm either laying down shivering or purging their food in the bathroom. I can just feel that chicken was undercooked, mishandled, or left out way too long. Either way... my time at Joan's on Third has ended! Thank you for the inspiration to cook my own food. Prices are too crazy for this unfortunate experience towards a longtime customer, almost 20 years. Such a shame!

Their New York breakfast sandwich is delicious. The sourdough is perfectly toasted. The coffee is yummy. Overall so tasty. It was chilly inside on a chilly morning. It was also loud. The food is worth it.

Finally got to try Joan's on Third over the weekend and see what the Chinese chicken salad was all about. We found parking in the neighborhood behind Ventura place, which was free and not a very for walk at all. There's so many good food places on this street! When we got to Joan's, it was busy with people eating inside and outside. We had ordered online and were just picking up our food to go, but I wish I was able to eat there and people watch. We went to the counter and asked about our online order, which was promptly given to us and we left. When we got to eat our food, all of our order was there and we each enjoyed what we ordered. I got the Chinese chicken salad, which was very simple but still very delicious and filling. My partner ordered the short rib sandwich was realllyyy good! It was a little on the heavier side, but the flavor was on point. Overall, we enjoyed our food and would go back for dine in for the ambiance!

Love this spot. Anytime I've got a free day and I want to spend it in Studio City, Joan's is usually where I grab lunch. The interior is clean and beautiful. The upscale deli-style vibe is packed full of enticing snacks, grab and go fridges, wine, and swag. Everywhere you look is eye candy, complete with café tables, and small banquet style tables where you might make a new friend. If the weather's nice, snag a table out on the pet-friendly patio and count all the different doggos. My go-to order is the Chinese Chicken Salad with grilled chicken instead of breaded chicken. It seems like a simple salad, but don't be fooled: you get a lot and it's deceptively filling. I occasionally grab an iced oat milk matcha when I'm there and it's great. Service can vary depending on the time of day that you go. I'd say expect to wait at least 15 mins if you order at the counter from the menu. I've never gotten food from the cold display, but it all looks awesome. Metered street parking only.

Everything is so good! This order was take out, but I can't wait to dine in. It looks so cute!

Cute place in Beverly Hills where you can order some hot foods or on their menu. There was a fly swirling around the hot foods and didn't want to risk getting sick, so I ordered a Chicken, Bacon, Brie sandwich with an iced tea that day. My friend and I sat at one of the outdoor tables until the staff brought out our food. Sandwich tasted delicious and was super filling. I would definitely come back here to eat and people watch. Curious to try their other foods in the future.

Hip, Trendy spot here. Plenty of people with their pets inside and outside of this restaurant. I purchased food-to-go. Everything looked picture perfect in the deli display and there are (3) counters to order from so if one line is long look at the others. Bistro style seating inside as well as communal tables to sit and enjoy your feast. They were decorated for the Spring and Easter when I stopped in. Prices are what you should expect for this caliber of a gourmet market. Counter service (over by the beverages) was meh not trying to help me out nor come down to the actual deli display to see what I wanted to order. I stood in front of the display for a while looking to make eye contact when any number of employees behind but none of them even glanced my way. I will say the young Lady at the front register (bakery area) was pleasant and thanked people for waiting. Speaking of which they did not rush anyone who came up to the counter they allowed each person to take their time and make up their mind. So THAT is a plus. The Curry Chicken Salad had huge portions of Chicken not cut in cubes so keep this in mind if you intend on making a sandwich. The Cavatappi Pasta Salad smelled AMAZING and was quite flavorful. Will I return, probably - it's in Little Bit's neighborhood and you already know how I adore Gourmet Market for #culinaryadventures. Respectfully Reviewed.

This place is great for a quick lunch or coffee with treats. They have a good selection of salads and sandwiches. I really liked the salmon bagel sandwich. It's great for lunch or breakfast. We also enjoyed the chicken sandwich. The place is pretty noisy so if your not a fan of loud places you may want to sit outside yet that may also be loud as it sits on a busy street. The inside is has a simple design and has to separate ordering stations. One dedicate to coffee and oasteries and the other dedicated to all the offerings. One thing I did not enjoy was the service. I asked for more tea and the lady forgot 2x and I finally went inside and asked for the hot water myself. I also asked for a Togo box and again no one can back and I had to go inside to find one. Service is not that good but the food is good.

Love this place. Great salads and great brunch spot. The iced coffee and lattes are great too. Such a cute spot.

Wow. Just wow. My sandwich was just perfection. I was aiming originally for a Turkey club in a croissant but since they were out of croissants, I got the Turkey club on ciabatta. The ciabatta is so soft, tasty, and fresh I could not stop myself from diving in. My order was prepared in a timely manner considering they were busy. The Turkey was super juicy and fresh so I'm really happy and the bacon was cooked to perfection, not too burnt and not too raw. I'm such a happy camper, thank you guys! I'll definitely return for more with family and friends and recommend other to try them out as well. Parking may or may not be a hassle since it is street meter parking but I've never had to wait too long for a spot to open up in the area.

Huge fan of Joan's on Third in Los Angeles's Beverly Grove meets The Grove area off Third Street! And this one of Ventura Place, just behind Ventura Blvd /Laurel Canyon definitely holds a candle in charm, quality and comfort... Typically have waited in line for quite a bit, because I'm not an early bird and that seems to be the best time to go on weekends. During the week it's a little more smoother. Joan's on Third - Studio City has tables and chairs inside + outside along the front patio-esque space and around their white tile brick-like pillars. The inside is fun, colorful, and beaming with character and delights, much like their original location. I've been very impressed with their expanding menu, grocery/pre-package, bulk buy items, treats and accessories. The Vegan Chicken Salad, Plant-based Sausage, Sesame Seed Avocado Toast, Szechuan Green Beans...(drooling)... Are all to be enjoyed along with whatever your pleasure is and while I don't eat cheese, they have this crazy dairy variety for cheese lovers... But trust me if they added in dairy-free half pound or pound cuts... I'd go wild lol. Something for everyone on the menu regardless of dietary needs, allergens, restriction or preferences and most things can be made to order. They offer catering, food boxes (including cute ones for a picnic, beach day and even the Hollywood Bowl) and so many great things (like that wine & beer selection)! Parking is mostly metered, but get creative if you don't mind a little stroll with some local residential streets or neighboring places if making more than one stop. Really surprised this side street that Joan's is on doesn't have a shared lot nearby considering how busy it gets, crazy wild on Sundays with the Studio City Farmers Market O.O... That said. Joan's in worth the trip any day of the week... Plus there's always delivery ;)

Everything looks fresh and delicious in here. The setup is simple. Go up to the cashier, order your food, once you are done ordering, they hand you a number, go find you a seat and place your number on the metal stand and your food will arrive based on your number. Muffin is fresh. Coffee was delicious. Eating area is very clean and cozy. All this area needs is a fireplace and it can easily become a coffee shop with a country cozy feel. I love the atmosphere. I love the way they designed the seating area, because it's very welcoming! Go try this place, not only for the good quality clean food but for the coffee too!

While running some errands I ended up here for a cup of cappuccino and super delicious strawberry muffin. Always fresh.... Great ambiance great service.

Stopped by last minute for a quick late lunch. My husband and I split the breakfast burrito (of course) and the turkey club. First time trying the turkey club, it's honestly so simple, yet so good. The right bread, toast level, amount of mayo, and perfect option of turkey and bacon. Highly recommend trying!!

First time here very busy of course Sunday farmers day! I read the reviews before coming thy said the best latte so that's what I got a vanilla latte that didn't taste like it had no vanilla I'll give it this it is a good coffee and strong person taking my order was not friendly at all I get it tho trying to be quick to move the line but let's be a little friendly..I would go back to try the food.

I love this place everytime we are in LaLa . The foods are fabulous! We sat outside since it was beautiful in CA! Order inside and got all we wanted plus some items to go. This place never disappoints! Soooo good. Healthy snd always fresh. service is great & friendly all around. Lots of seating. Bathrooms clean and big. A large variety if items to eat, drink & purchase. Unique items for gifts ir hust to take hone and eat or use. Cookbooks, dried fruit, local items, vacationers items etc. We love this place! Desserts galore! A must to see the airy bright tastefull restaurant/store. Yay LA

Solid breakfast burrito, sometimes inconsistent in quality and warmth. They should try to figure out a way to keep food warm throughout delivery. Drinks need improvement, specifically the orange juice needs to be colder and the latte should use better quality milk. My office orders out weekly because we can't think of any place better to order from. Otherwise, it's alright, nothing to write home about, but solid.

This is THE place for a boujee Hollywood cafe experience where stars frequent. The breakfast burrito is delicious, but a small meal enough for one person. The nutella loaf was dry, but their banana and zucchini loafs and really moist and flavorful. Yummy lattes. Good clean service. Peaceful ambience to take meetings here.

Food was okay, service was good and staff was very friendly. The ambiance is nice, especially in the outdoor area to people watch. Had the eggs, bacon and toast- all were fine. My friend had the blueberry pancakes Their coffee was great- I had an iced oat latte.

This is my go to spot for breakfast in the neighborhood. Food quality is consistent and the pancakes are amazing! There is a large prepared food section (though prices are steep) and a full menu to order from for breakfast and lunch. Also love their large selection of pastries and baked goods

I came in to get a few frozen entrees and I noticed that a nearby refrigerator seemed super not cold. I noticed the thermometer was at 40 degrees about. ( which from my understanding is teetering on the danger zone and if it was a degree higher, could be dangerous ) I decided to alert a nearby employee who was super awesome and sweet and she promptly got the attention of the manager who came by and looked at the fridge. Although she sort of addressed the employee and us passively, saying it was okay to be "40 and below and that the reading wasn't accurate", I didn't feel like the manager handled the situation correctly nor do I feel confident about shopping in the refrigerated section at all. It was the dismissiveness of the manager once she was alerted to the issue that didn't sit right with me. I have no confidence that the reading was incorrect and that it was in fact a bit cooler, but I'm in no position to argue nor are the employees. For reference it was the refrigerator holding the hummus , dressings, and butters.

This place used to be really great and a favorite but has become meh unfortunately. Will still come occasionally for the Chinese chicken salad. I don't recommend their matcha lattes.

The concept is great, where you are able to get organic and nutritious food for there or to go. Kind of like the grocery store ready made food section but more modern, better choices and nutritional as well! The service was quick but I would say the lady taking our order didn't seem welcoming at all. She was on her phone and her demeanor put me off. I had never been there and she seemed frustrated when I asked her about the combo stuff and what was applicable. But overall food was good. Great vegetarian options as well. I would come back for a quick lunch or pick up pre made foods for busy weeks! The famous Chinese chicken salad is really good but pretty simple so don't expect so much it's very simple and easy for a quick healthy meal! I'm certainly checking out their premade options for busy weeks for me and my husband

such a lovely spot for a catch up with friends or a brunch date!! Staff are always amazing. The food is always delicious. Great vibes!!! Love coming here! Parking can be tricky but you'll eventually find one. Tons of menu options. I got some cafe items and we got a fresh baguette with jam and butter. Great light snack to enjoy with a couple mimosas :)

Update: came back here again 11:30am on a Saturday- this time the coffee was delicious! Only -1 star because the server gave me my company's pancake versus the one I ordered. I ordered with chocolate chips+berries and she ordered with berries only, and by the time I realized that I received the pancake with berries only, it was too embarrassing to inform my company and then make a complaint to staff... but it was still delicious nonetheless! It's okay, it happens... but I wish I received my correct order. Anyway, the staff who works in the cafe area is SO nice, welcoming, and offers great recommendations and service. Still would come back again!

Utmost fresh food provided in Studio City. Absolutely clean and service oriented staff. This is a must for wine cheese and fresh eats.

Ordered for delivery on DoorDash. Food is packaged well, but the drink was not sealed to prevent tampering. It would be great if Joan's started tape sealing or bag sealing their beverages like other restaurants. The latte was more than an inch short in liquids, so I'm hoping the driver didn't drink some like the horror videos I've seen online. P.S. I love this restaurant and their food. Especially the breakfast burrito!

Very cute place. I had the maple chicken sandwich, absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend it. My friend had the turkey meatloaf sandwich. He said it's his favorite thing on the menu and sometimes he even craves it it's that good. The staff were friendly. I got there earlier and wasn't sure how this restaurant worked. I asked the cashier, she explained how you order first then get a seat and food is brought out to ya. I appreciated her kindness and genuine nature. I look forward to eating there again.

Amazing short rib Sandwich decor and music. This mouthwatering sandwich is well worth it and they have a good selection of beverages they also sell ice cream.

Ok...a real, transparent review! My family and I have eaten here a few times at the Studio City location. Food is solid, fresh and leaves us wanting to return for more! But TODAY! We ordered our food for pick up. Nothing complicated...Chinese chicken salad, cobb salad and a tomato soup. Returned home to devour our salads and realized they forgot to pack the dressing for our Chinese chicken salad. We decided to call and just let them know. Ok!!! After speaking with someone over the phone, they must have informed management and their response was to DELIVER a salad dressing to our house!!!! Keep in mind, we do live a few miles away. This level of customer service is exceptional! Like who does this?!?! JOAN'S ON THIRD! UPDATE: THEY DELIVERED ANOTHER CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD w/ DRESSING AND A COOKIE!!!!!! This made my day!!!!! I am a returning HAPPY CUSTOMER! The food is amazing and they deserve 5 Stars!

Parking usually metered street parking or across the street at Vons. Always a pleasant clean environment when visiting. Paired with friendly customer service. Top fav is hands down their breakfast burrito!

Great ambiance, super cute interior, nice aesthetics, trendy spot. The turkey club was great as was the short rib sandwich, overpriced at $16 each, but good. The Chinese Chicken Salad was a bland miss. Will probably go back for lunch or coffee.

Hey everyone, hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend 2023. It's always nice to spend a holiday with family or close friends rather than with nobody! I drove out from Long Beach Ca to have a nice lunch with my friend in Studio City. We walked in and took in the interior, it's very bright and cute in there. I asked an employee behind the counter if there were menus available, she handed me a paper menu and told my friend and I to order with her or with any other person behind the register. We went to a register (with a person behind it) and she directed to us the first employee that helped us. My friend ordered the tuna sandwich in a rush because the young woman was on a very important task (labeling to go containers). It was my time to shine, I ordered the maple honey chicken sandwich or something, then I asked for an Orangina to which the young lady asked me what that was because she couldn't find it on the register. After a quick explanation in my best English she interrupted me and found it on the screen and said they were sold out. Sadness began to creep up but I settled for an Ollipop and remembered I had a Tropi Licious at home so it was okay. I wanted to ask about a few other items on the menu but I didn't want my girls stress to affect me so I just added some "potato sticks" from the counter. We sat down and I opened the potato sticks which are just stale fries, another dip in the oil and you might be on to something. Might as well call em medium rare fries. The chicken sandwich was VERY successful, the taste buds were BUDDING. Shout out to my sandwich artist in there ;) sheesh. My friend liked her tuna sandwich but just as she was about to bite into some hard ass bread, I locked eyes with none other than Corey Matthew's. Talk about a blast from the past! I interrupted my friend from the non chewable bread to tell her about my star sighting. I would've loved to have gotten dessert but that would be for my next trip at your other location. After feeling extremely uncomfortable when I spotted this man staring at my friend and I knew it was a wrap and time to dip. I went to throw away my garbage while my friend went to the bathroom and the bus boy came by to help us rush out too. He touched my friends purse and picked it up, I immediately noticed it didn't match his outfit so I kindly told him we weren't done just so he would scoot on away because its kind of weird when a stranger grabs your purse. I cleared my own table with ease, the dirty dishes are standing in front of the restaurant so that was helpful.

My girlfriend and I ordered the Tuna Melt and split it in half because it was a pretty good size. And then we split the Chinese Chicken Salad. I dont know who made the food today... but the salad was drenched in dressing. And the tuna melt had so many carrots, very little tuna and then it had about 4-5 tablespoons of dijon mustard. We took a couple of bites of the sandwich and only tasted dijon mustard. So we opened up the sandwich to find that it was just globs and globs of dijon mustard. To the point where it looked more like an egg salad sandwich in color. The ridiculous amount of dijon mustard plus the amount of water from all the carrots, made the sandwich so wet and mushy on the inside. The sandwich was holding on for dear life by the toasted crust on the outside. So we ended up tossing the sandwich. Maybe it was just an off day or someone in the kitchen was half asleep. But I have never been somewhere that charged $14-$15 for a sandwich that was 40% carrots, 40% dijon mustard and 20% tuna. But I do not plan coming back after that.

Great options for breakfast, lunch and take away dinners, all their offerings are freshly made and delicious! They also sell cheese, curated pantry items, pastries and snacks and ice cream!! You can get premade frozen lasagna etc for dinner later - solve all your food problems in one place!!

Tried Joan's on Third for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. All of the food we tried was delicious, especially the breakfast burrito with tomatillo salsa, and the chocolate chip cookie. Their crispy bacon was perfectly crisp and tasty as well. Great variety of pastries and desserts, with fast exceptional service. Looking forward to trying out more of the menu!

First time here and probably last. It's cute outside and very spacious inside. I was a little overwhelmed so many different stations inside didn't know where to order and what's for what etc. Anyway, placed my order for a Chinese chicken salad (no crunchies due to gf sensitivity) and I got a salad in a metal bowl with dressing and chicken. I've had better. Should've taken a picture. I was shocked, I could've made this at home. Then I started thinking about how much I just paid for this ridiculous salad and I also treated my friend to lunch who had a trio plate that didn't have much flavor because she kept having to add salt and pepper and Cholula. I won't be back and would not recommend. We should've went across the street to Mendocino farms. This place is obviously just for looks. Service was eh. Cashier wasn't the friendliest just very blah. 1 star for the food, 1 star for the pricing/quality and 2 stars for the ambiance. Want a good sandwich or salad? Go to Mendocino farms across the way. Want a good dessert? Go next door to the donut spot they have all vegan gluten free donuts.

Been coming here for years now both from their original location and here in Studio City. This is a great place to get picnic sandwiches for the Hollywood Bowl Concert. Last time we went to Hollywood Bowl, we ordered our food from there and everything was soooo good. They pack them so well, specially if you buy the box for them to pack it. The chicken sandwich was so good, but the beef brisket sandwich was also super good! Their homemade potato chips were so yummy that paired with the sandwiches. Prices are a bit up there, but hey, you're paying for a quality fresh ingredients gourmet sandwiches that you get to enjoy while watching a concert. At random times that I am in the area, I like going to this place to pick up some food to go just because everything is so good here. Love this place so much!

Heard a lot of this place for a while and came by with my buddies to check it out. The ambiance reminded me of a small Dean and Deluca. It's clean and filled with purposefully dressed casual clientele. Unfortunately, the quality of their food just didn't live up to the hype. The turkey meatloaf sandwich was disappointing. The meatloaf tasted more like tofu based vegan meatloaf; the texture was mushy. The bread was dry, too. The chicken Milanese was equally disappointing. The think cutlet was dry and lacked flavor. Couldn't even tell it was chicken. The short rib sandwich was decent. The grilled bread gave it the necessary texture. The side dishes were lacking as well. The egg salad was literally just smashed boiled eggs with mayo. Would've been nice to have a little extra something like relish, Dijon mustard, or chives. The cous cous and Brussels sprouts were both overly sweet. It's a nice place to hang out with friends for a while; but, I wouldn't come here for the food.

K... still trying to process how good this was. Wtf. That sandwich was way too simple to be that developed as a flavor profile. That cheese sent me over the edge. Macaroni and cheese has a surprise. I won't spoil it for you. Order it and find out. Whew. Former chef and flabbergasted.

Finally made my inaugural visit to Joans and I was not disappointed. We got pancake, eggs and hashbrown , breakfast burrito and New York breakfast sandwich and everything was really well executed. Price point is a bit higher than quantity but the quality speaks for itself. Even though the breakfast burrito is relatively small it is dense and packed with all the breakfast burrito goodies . It comes with tomatillo salsa and guac and sour cream which only make it even better. Ny sandwich was ridiculously good. Eggs bacon and cheese in this golden crispy pan fried bread. It was so good. I took half home and added some fresh Roma tomato slices and it took it to the next level. Pancake was thicc and one was enough. Perfect golden brown circle of goodness . Service was faster than expected but we went around open (9) and snagged one of the last tables near the door so we were able to celeb spot ( we saw Josh duhamel! ) as we drank our coffee haha! Parking is street metered which sucks but go early and you might luck out . Will be back to try the baked goods and other goodies like the deli options /salads etc

Got the salad trio and it was super filling and a great variety of a few bites from the deli case. The kale salad, curried chicken and couscous were fantastic in flavor and very generous in portion! It was a busy weekday afternoon, so seating was tricky to find and a bit of a wait for, however service was prompt and friendly towards us. The store is really cute to browse in while you wait since it's full of cute gift items, both food and non food. Will definitely be coming back for the bakery sometime soon

Have come a handful of times for a business lunch or quick coffee. Definitely an overpriced marketplace, but they do consistently have fresh, tasty food and a menu that keeps me coming back for more. Most recently I had the BLT - $15 which was definitely way too expensive for a 4 ingredient sandwich. That being said it was a decent size for a lunch option, and I was full and satisfied with just that. I've also had their Brussels sprouts salad, along with a few other salad options from there. All of them have been pretty decent, but honestly Mendocino farms down the street is better and cheaper. Their fries are a staple and I get them often to snack on. But save your money on the coffee and get it from literally anywhere else. They will always have something that peaks your interest, which is why they get 4 stars. It's often a celebrity spotting spot. I've seen multiple cast members from one of my favorite shows, 'GLEE.' Worth it for a $15+ sandwich? Eh, sometimes.

Their chinese chicken salad is pretty bad.... As a chef u can tell they didnt really put too much thought into the salad. As a chinese person, this tasted embarrassing! It lacked dressing, and the worst part was The chicken is a cold fried chicken that is like a week old sitting back in the fridge and grainy, old, cold, rubbery. microwaved chicken is better. they should fry fresh batch and cut it up crispy. Come on guys! Management, dont let the food quality slip! Reported this to the front and they gave me a refund. They didn't offer to replace, or exchange my food. Just assumed i wanted to leave. So i left. This is the second time in my life i had to send food back. The interior did not match their food quality. I noticed the guy making the sandwich without gloves neither. Gross

Best French style omelettes I've ever had!! So good and so consistent. Breakfast burrito is also amazing. Hangout long enough and you'll spot a celebrity :)

I had called to let the manager know that their pre-portioned smoked salmon was mis-portioned but I was told the manager was busy and would call me back. 2 weeks later and zero follow up from Joan's.

Amazing place! Great coffee bar and amazing ready food. I love the vibe they have. You can sit at a shared table and get work done or come with a friend and chill. The fact that it kind of looks is a market is a market is so fun. I love having healthy food options and they got that for sure m Parking is tough though just be ready to spend time hunting for street parking

Overheard at Joan's: Woman: Should I get the bbq sandwich or the salad? Server: (pause) definitely the salad. Good place to go if you want the essential clean and chic Los Angeles vibe and to feel like a quasi-famous movie star, but if it's an friendly and inviting breakfast/brunch spot you're looking for, you might be better off somewhere else.

Definitely recommend this spot for breakfast and lunch they till 6 now. The chicken Chinese salad is amazing. Must try the homemade potato chips.
