Came here with a couple of friends for breakfast/brunch on the weekend. They opened at 8 and we…read morewere able to get a table immediately which was a pleasant surprise. The service from sitting down to leaving was exceptional and welcoming as our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. I ordered the Bee Eggs Benedict which was packed with flavor. The serving was adequate and what I think sets it apart from other eggs Benedict's I've had is that they kept this simple. Some versions have so much going on and the flavors contrast each other leading more to a mush. This version is much more direct so that the flavor from the sauce, eggs, protein and potatoes was highly noticeable. My friend ordered the panwhich which is a play on a pancake sandwich that that serving was huge haha. The inside of the restaurant is very spacious and optimal for small or large parties. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a solid weekend breakfast/brunch joint in the Valley. Little bit of a small parking lot but overall, the service and the stellar food are enough for me to make a return visit!

The skylight room is my favorite--it gets so much natural light and feels super refreshing. The customer service was amazing too. The food tasted fresh and didn't feel overly processed or heavy.

It's instagramy, which is a plus. Super clean too!! You order your food at the cashier, and the customer service was fantastic. Samantha, Annabel, and Kiwy were all so friendly and welcoming. Annabel was actually a new hire, and you would never know it, she did an amazing job and made us feel right at home! The food was soooo delicious!!! we got the breakfast plate and tres leches latte and it was 10/10 There's also plenty of parking in the back, which makes stopping by really convenient. I had such a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back. I totally recommend this place if you're looking for great service, a relaxing atmosphere, and a comfortable place to hang out or get some work done!

The staff were friendly, and I loved that they had community vendors propped up at the time we visited. However, with the DJ that was there, it was a little hard to communicate, but it didn't hinder our enjoyment of the place too much :) Aside from that, I adore that there were a few books talking about the Philippines, as well as nods to the culture through the decor like the traditional pamaypay fans and easy Tagalog at the register. This is a great spot for Filipinos to connect and give others a taste of the culture!

The food was very good--great tasting, generous portions--and both classic coffee shop offerings and updated to accommodate newer tastes. I had an amazing Patty Melt with plant-based ground beef!

Today I went back to my local stereo shop on Reseda Blvd for a repair to my stereo…read more When I visited this same stereo shop six months ago, I decided to visit the coffee shop across the street for some food while I waited for my repair. On that visit, I met Joyce the owner, and she happily served me my meal that day, and I had an exceptional experience. I left Joyce's coffee shop a very satisfied five star review later that day. The last time I came, Joyce was not present again (she works weekends). Today I tried to visit Joyce again, but forgot she works weekends--but today I met Ms. Faith. Faith's customer service was above and beyond. The warmth. The friendliness. The pride in her work and her role in the Joyce's Coffee Shop family. The joy. The most charming smile and energy. The enthusiasm. The work ethic. I wanted Faith to join me for my meal, but she never stopped working, and she had no break planned. Faith is actually a former bartender with many years of experience. She made millions of dollars in tips over the years, because all the drunks would fall in love and hand their wallets over to Faith. She was great at what she did. Patrons would go to her bar, sit down, and blackout just because they were there to chat with Faith for as long as possible. Of course they couldn't just sit there--so they'd just order drink after drink. And drink. And tip. And then ATM. And then more drinks with Faith. Tips tips tips. Faith made millions as a bartender (that's how she bought her Bentley coupe). As a bartender, she even got a 3 wedding proposals, and 4 "modeling" offers . And Faith LEFT the money and the fame--once she discovered Joyce's Coffee Shop. Faith knew she wanted to be in that warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere--as often as possible. Faith applied for work at Joyce's, the. followed-up daily with Joyce's for 2 weeks--and ultimately earned herself a spot on Team JCS. The food was 5-stars--as always. It's as goods as eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes and hot coffee get. The environment was another 5-stars--always clean, always welcoming and always playing carefully curated playlists of yesterday's biggest hits. Joyce's Coffee Shop has been in business since 1955, and they've done such a great job of not only preserving the original dining room setup and upholstery, but also the original owner's commitment and dedication to great food in a welcoming environment--produced and served by the best customer service. And sitting in Joyce's Coffee Shop is like sitting in a blast from the past. It's classic. It's retro. It's vintage. It's well-preserved. Joyce's Coffee Shop is part of San Fernando Valley history. It's kinda like a Valley historical landmark. It's definitely a San Fernando Valley treasure. It's on its 4th owner, and it was never sold to a new owner that wasn't fully committed to the original owner's original mission. The diner mission of "as good as it gets," and "keeping it that way"--I love that. All staff is warm, friendly and welcoming. Even the customers are warm, friendly and welcoming--they all seem to know exactly where they are, and thats why they are there. Have you ever watched the classic TV show "Cheers"? That show about a bar where everybody knows your name? Just like that TV bar, Joyce's gives that "local feel"--the best feel. You'll never get that at Denny's, IHOP or Norms. I live in Woodland Hills so I'm rarely in Northridge, but if I am around in the AM or lunchtime -- I hope to visit again. Food -- 5 stars (I'm still stuffed) Environment -- 5 Stars (clean & cool) Service -- 5 [hearts on fire emoji] 5 stars -- (only because I can't give 6) PS: I forgot to mention that Mrs. Joyce's husband Mr. Joyce is the head chef at JCS. I forgot to mention this because I have yet to meet Mr. Joyce--but I guess Mr. Joyce's reputation will precede him in my case, (that's if I ever even get a chance to meet Mr. Joyce). Not only is Mr. Joyce the head chef, he's there 7 days a week, making somebody's love-made food. And for anyone that could not connect these dots: he doesn't work 7 days a week because he has to. Mr. Joyce works 7 days a week because there's nothing he would rather be doing, than preparing someone's great food with total care, at a business that's known for customers leaving with huge smiles for many decades. Nothing makes Mr. Joyce happier than ensuring everything coming out of JCS is "5 Star Quality"--as good as it could possibly get. He does it because the San Fernando Valley is lucky to have Joyce's Coffee Shop. 5 STARS.

On a Thursday in May, I had my mom bring a friend here, and they had a disappointing experience. I was told by my mom and my friend that they were still clearly in the middle of eating when they were brought a to-go box and the check, as if they were being rushed out. It felt abrupt and a bit rude, especially since they hadn't finished their meal yet. I understand the place can get busy even on weekdays, but that kind of service takes away from an otherwise enjoyable brunch experience.

It's been around for decades and has served tons of patrons over the years. Inside is huge with all sorts of tables and booths so it can host many different sized groups from small to large. It's located in a small shopping center so there is plenty of free parking attached directly in front, which is extremely convenient. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. For this visit, I started off with a cup of the Chili and thought it was actually really good. I am a huge fan of chili and don't often get some that I really love, but this was definitely one of those. Next came the Mini Blintzes and these were pretty nice. I prefer a full Blintz because it has a lot more cheese and filling, but still these were a nice start, especially if are were new to this appetizer. For my entrée, I chose the Pastrami Reuben and thought it was great. It was honestly huge and I even forgot to take a picture of it because I was excited to eat it. I would suggest if you are a fan of Rubens and would suggest this restaurant in general if you like a good deli.

People were friendly and service was fairly quick. Overall, the sandwich was really well done. The fresh rye bread was so lovely. It was crispy crunchy and had a nice toastiness to it. The meat was flavorful, not too salty, and moist. And the sauerkraut added a nice crunchy tang. All in all, the sandwich was delicious and devoured in under 20min. It was plenty for both my husband and I to share a single sando. For the sides, the steak fries needed a lil salt but otherwise a decent filler side. The slaw was creamy and crisp and very refreshing. The pickles were a little under pickled and tasted a lil more cucumber-y than we'd like. Overall a solid experience and we'd visit again when we're back in the area.

When you're tired of the breakfast burrito game, Egg Tuck is the easy go-to that reminds you breakfast can be simple, elegant, and incredibly satisfying all at once. The Avo Egg sandwich is a must. Pillow soft scrambled eggs piled high on a soft brioche-style dark bread with fresh avocado and a delicious house sauce topped with chives. The bread was slightly on the darker side but it didn't detract from the overall experience one bit -- every bite was rich, creamy, and satisfying. These are genuinely some of the best eggs in the city and at around $11 for the sandwich it's a fair price for the quality you're getting. Don't skip the tater tots. Crispy, hot, and perfectly cooked -- the small comes in at just $2.50 and the large is $5.29, making them one of the better value sides you'll find anywhere. They pair perfectly with the sandwich. The space is clean, bright, and welcoming with good customer service to match. Parking is easy too -- there's a parking lot below and free street parking available nearby, which in the Valley is always a bonus. Egg Tuck is the kind of place you find yourself thinking about on a Tuesday morning when you wish you were there. If you're in the Valley and serious about breakfast, this is a non-negotiable stop.

The presentation was on point, well-thought out packaging provided structure so there wasn't a mess inside the box. The bread reminded me of French toast - it was buttery and crisp. Avocado was fresh and creamy, and the eggs were giving potato salad, which I enjoyed. I would have liked double the bacon for more texture, but other than that it was a hearty egg sandwich.

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. I was seated in the very corner, and after my order was taken and my food was dropped off, I was completely forgotten. No one checked on me--not once. No one asked how my food was, if I needed a refill, or if I needed anything else. I sat there watching the tables around me receive attentive service while I was completely ignored. The people behind me were checked on multiple times while I couldn't even get someone's attention. I eventually had to wave down the hostess just to ask for a to-go box and my check because my server never came back. It honestly made me feel invisible. To make matters worse, the food was mediocre at best. It definitely didn't live up to the hype, and it certainly wasn't worth the poor service. I left feeling disappointed and unwelcome. Between being completely neglected and the underwhelming food, I have no reason to come back. There are plenty of places that appreciate every customer, and unfortunately, this wasn't one of them.
