Solid meal! Nothing special but not bad. It seems to me they aren't known for their breakfast but instead are known for their sandwiches, but we were ordering from here and I wanted breakfast. Again, it was good. But I could find the same quality many many many other places lol. We got takeout so I can't say anything to ambiance or service. read more

Ayo!!! Back again in search of the best Kouign Amann in LA. This review is strictly just for the KA so i'm basically giving a 3 out 5 for this KA but I'm giving the rating a 5 for the entire restaurant because it's super cute deli. Food is delish and i'd come back in a heart beat to try these other items it's giving NY Bodega. Reason why i wasn't a fan was because this was Dry in the inside. Caramelization and crispy crunch from sugar was non existent so pastry team need to work on this recipe forsure! No complaints on service, very nice employees. Street parking can be difficult, Cards accepted and seating on inside and outside. read more

This place gets very busy rain or shine! The coffee here is nice and bold. Perfectly brewed. Equivalent to a Starbucks Pike Roast. Next time I will have to buy a bag from Joan's. The food... my friend got the fish and side of mixed veggies from the hot bar. She said it was delicious. I ordered the Joan's Smash Burger with a side of fries. Both were really delicious! The places I have had a smash burger at before have never been what I think is good. This place is my favorite so far. There is a perfect balance of beef patty, bun, and sauce. They didn't skimp on the patty. I have actually had one somewhere else before where the patty was so smashed that there was barely any beef flavor present. The fries here are crispy how I love it. The pickles were delicious as well. They seemed a bit sweet. The bag of homemade chips are bomb. The slice of cheesecake.... Heaven. It is EXACTLY how I love my cheesecake! Very fluffy, light flavor, and so airy that I inhaled it in two minutes. I bought a bag of Joan's Potato Chips because I was told they were homemade. I took it home and tried it and they are good. They are a very thin sliced kettle style chips. They are not the hard crunchy kettle chips though. read more

Consistently great. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Service was efficient and friendly, even during a busy time, and the space has that relaxed-but-upscale neighborhood feel. A solid go-to whether you're grabbing something quick or sitting down to enjoy read more

These days most restaurants have lowered their quality and/or portions sizes due to the economy and the high cost but this Joan's quality and portions were great. Had the Short Rib Sandwich and the Breakfast Burrito delivered and they were both amazing. Thank you guys read more

Ummm the NY breakfast sandwich has real SOURdough and is essentially a grilled cheese that no one will judge you for eating at 9am!!! Finally. 10/10. Had this MANY times Got to try the chicken bacon brie and it was like a chicken bake and a panini had a baby. Yeah. 10/10 (rich but worth every bite) Lavender oat matcha paired perfectly. Negative point for the Chinese Chicken salad..... came to the table very soggy. with cold breaded chicken straight out of the fridge. And it was as if the lettuce sat under a heat lamp after dressed. Don't be fooled by her popularity. Also not impressed with the cupcake I got myself on my birthday... Ambiance is nice with a decent shop inside and MY FAVORITE CHEESE Robiola but the tables are close so everyone can hear what you are saying. read more

This place has really good food, but really needs to go easier on the salt. Almost everything they make is too salty.

Joan's on Third is a fantastic option of lunch in LA! I am a big fan of the short rib sandwich here, it is one of my top sandwiches in all of LA! Crispy on the outside, layered with melted cheese on the inside, the generous amount of short rib is so juicy and full of flavor! The side of pickles is a great way to compliment each bite, and I ask for hot sauce to spice it up. The Chinese chicken salad is lightly dressed, with fried wontons and chicken to add great texture to the salad. Vibe inside is like a modern busy bakery, and the staff are friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, and expect a decent sized line with a wait time of 5-15min to order. Enjoy, it's a gem in LA! read more

BEEN THERE! DONE THAT! NOW THEN! NEXT STEP! WRITE MY REVIEW. Been stopping in at Joan's on Third for years now. Why I never wrote about it is beyond me! Suffice to say each visit was pleasant and delicious but my most recent visit was fulfilling. I had their lox and bagel sandwich. It cost a mere $13 which was IMHO a steal for the amount of food it came with. Two giant slices of lox with their dill dressing, tomato lettuce and onion sitting on their original bagel. I had a croissant to go with a slice of home made meatloaf for my dinner. This is the place if you want/need pastries or prepared meals to go. It's also a people watcher place. Well, it's West LA what do you expect right? Street parking available or bike parking if you want to bike over read more

Still as trendy as ever, and for a good reason. When you focus on fresh ingredients, great preparation and excellent flavors then you have a winning concept that lives the testament of time. Whether it's a yummy sandwich, a good salad, a scone, ice cream or coffee, it's guaranteed to make you happy. Location, seating convenience, order system, take out or dine in - it all works like clockwork. service is efficient, parking is pretty easy and the ambiance is relaxed. read more

Of course Joan's is an iconic and cute bakery on 3rd and Flores. Their baked goods are amazing. They also have lots of deli meats and amazing cheese. I came here today for breakfast. Very very few customers here as I came in exactly at open. You Order at the counter, take a number and sit wherever. I ordered SOFT scrambled eggs and toast added hash browns . I emphasized 2 times SOFT SCRAMBLE and got kind of a blank look. Oh boy. Am I psychic or what? I knew how this would turn out. Why is a soft scramble such an unusual order? Crazy how often it's a failure. Many places, it doesn't blow the tops of their heads clean off with confusion. Here, basically it was ignored. It's like if you ordered over easy and got an egg with the yolk fully cooked. My order was 24 dollars with a tip. Definitely, I'm a bit persnickety about eggs. Well very persnickety, tbf. This time, everyone else decided how my eggs would be cooked. Because of the system- order at the counter, no real server- no opportunity to get what I ordered- I just ate them. The whole order would have to be redone- I'm not about that. To be clear- they were not busy when ordered .If they don't "do" soft scrambled eggs- I would change my order. The toast was good, the hash-browns were great, and a large portion that could be shared by 2. If you like soft scrambled eggs as much as me- I would have a longer conversation when ordering. read more

What a sweet spot for an afternoon lunch! The wide selection of food is purchased ala carte & met my dietary needs! The out door dining area was perfect! So whether eating in or taking out, this place is a jewel! read more

They make a lovely omelette. Quite fantastic actually. Problem is that the side of hash browns were cold. Not even lukewarm but cold. Had to send them back. In doing so the omelettte gets cold waiting...the server lady couldn't careless. Terrible attitude. Bad experience. This is why we shouldn't tip at the point of purchase. These yahoo got a hearty tip for terrible service. What does one do with a cold omelette? I guess out warm hash atop the omelette to warm it back up. Bad experience this time read more

I've never felt so singled out at a restaurant. I came in with my service dog, who was calm and well-behaved. Two other customers came in with their dogs, and theirs were barking and even lunging at mine. Despite that, I was the only one targeted, I was told to take my dog outside in nearly 90-degree heat while the disruptive dogs were allowed to stay. Not only was I forced to take my calm service dog outside in 90° heat, but a security guard was then made to watch me while I ate. Targeting like this is harassment, not customer service. This added element of intimidation is deeply concerning and demonstrates a pattern of targeting and harassment. When I explained that my dog is a service animal, the staff member went even further and illegally asked me what my disability is. For the record, under the ADA, businesses can only ask two questions: if it's a service animal, and what tasks it is trained to perform. They cannot ask about someone's disability. This wasn't just inconsistent, it was discriminatory and humiliating. No one with a service dog should ever be treated this way, especially while other dogs causing actual disruptions were ignored. If you have pets, please do not bring them to this location. read more

I can't speak to the location or parking since I got it delivered but this sandwich was the perfect blend of meaty and juicy, with cheesy strands and toasted buttered bread with crunchy exterior and soft middle with the caramelized onions bringing the umami! Not a great sandwich if you're watching your caloric intake, but a must if you're looking for flavor and textual perfection! read more

Joan's on Third - Short rib sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The 4 stars Joan's receives is right on the money, almost exclusively for the food. The breakfast burrito may not be earth shattering, but it's very good and portioned just right with flavorful salsa on the side. Beyond that, though, is the rest: a cold interior and exterior, "market" with overpriced snacks galore, and, once you get your food, you're pretty much on your own. In theory this is nice if you want to just relax and chat over your meal, but if you need anything, finding the right help is always confusing. I don't go here often, but often enough, that I've started to figure out who to ask about stuff, etc. If you visit for the first time, you'll be left a little confused. Of course, you might not need anything else on your visit and then think back to your food which is, again, very good! If you luck out on a parking spot on 3rd or in the neighborhood, it's worth a visit. read more

Shoutout to one of my favorite brunch places! SO good that even my friends would want to come here every time they visit LA! While a lot of my friends order their beef sandwich, I personally love their Chinese Chicken Salad, and PB&J. While it is agreeable that I am technically paying for overpriced salad and PB&J, theirs are just so worth it! The salad comes in a big metal bowl, and it contains a GENEROUS amount of chicken! Usually this can be shared between 2 people or a few people who are ordering family style who wants to try. And their PB&J is just, well, jam and nut butter but SO GOOD! The restaurant is a very interesting concept. You order the food from the counter, look for a table with the number you get, and they serve the food to you. Servers are very kind and they get you what you need fast. There are also cute shelves with some spreads product, which makes the restaurant look like a mini grocery store. One thing to be concerned with is the parking. They only have street parking and it can be quite challenging since they are located in west LA. read more

I'm not complaining about the quality of the food here it's excellent! However, if I'm paying top dollar for a side, avocado in this case, don't insult me with a skimpy quantity, or at least before you do, provide me with an idea of how small it's going to be so I can make a decision to remove the side or add to it, thank you read more

Amazing food!! The lemon bar was almost supernatural and had all of us experiencing food agape!

Parking not bad today and no lines. Have not eaten here for many years... looking forward to that iconic CCS. Ample seating outside(but those flies! Something needs to be done) plus a few tables inside. Walk-up counter ordering and they bring your food to you, so please don't forget to tip. The deli salads and hot foods are in the back if you want to take a look. Bakery counter up front has all manner of pastries, cookies, croissants and those skinny baguettes- I could make a meal of one of those and a hunk of truffle brie oh my... So the CCS (Chinese Chicken Salad) was huge and delicious as ever. Its simple chicken, fried wonton strips, crispy rice noodles and almonds were on- point. Companions had a bfast burrito and a tuna melt. Both good but the TM is amazing! Different than your have had in the past guaranteed. If you are a TM fan you must try Joan's version. We weren't thrilled with the coffee drinks- Iced lavender latte and iced mocha. Little to no flavor- I wonder why? I chose a canned artisinal soda- honestly just get a Peligrino! I really like Joan's on 3rd for a bite if you are in the area but I am not sure I would make a special trip for it again. read more

Such a cute place and the only reason I gave 4 stars is because the service recovery and the food was good but overall the customer experience was a solid 2-3 Star experience. The inside is so cute and allows you to really be tempted to explore and discover new gems. However the cashiers don't know the menu and have little to no knowledge about the overall products which was disappointing and left me to only google for reviews to educate myself The parking is as is, LA parking and hopefully you get lucky at a meter or street. No valet was offered. It's setup as a store/restaurant kind of vibe. You either order at the cashier for food they prepare or choose your in store goods and checkout at the cashier. read more

There's nothing bad about Joan's between the breakfast burrito the chocolate roll cake are simply divine!!!!

Talk about old Hollywood! I mean the Hollywood back when people still bought DVDs and had daily power lunches without giving a hoot. That's when Joan's was in its prime. But it's still worth a trip every now and then if you ask me. My first thought when I walk into Joan's? I wish I knew someone worth giving a gift basket to. Because they sell gift baskets for all occasions. If you know someone who's sick or has accomplished something, and you have like two hundred extra dollars, Joan's has got you covered. I don't and I don't, but I wish I did. I was there for lunch. Joan's specialities are sandwich and salad classics, with a high-end deli counter featuring delish takes on stuff with mayonnaise in it. Personally my favorite is the egg salad sandwich. The mouthfeel makes my mouth squeal. Even though Joan's isn't quite as bustling as it used to be, there are still things I appreciate. Like their napkins are much higher quality than Chipotle's, and equally as free. Overall Joan's isn't going to blow your mind, but it's a solid spot to take coworkers, in-laws, even your attorney after they get you out of a jam (thanks, Richard!) read more

We headed here for lunch based on a friends recommendation. We ordered inside at the counter and found a table outside and were given a number. It is first come first serve seating so that was a bit nerve wrecking looking for a table because it was a busy Friday afternoon. I ordered a BLT and grabbed a bag of their homemade chips. Once seated outside, we got our meals delivered to us. My BLT was good! I loved how crispy the bacon was and lots of it. The homemade chips were delicious. A must! We even got a second bag to go since four of us about finished the first bag. read more

Most definitely the best Asian Chicken Salad I have ever had. My wife came across Joan's while looking for a lunch spot that had fresh options! We were both also craving a salad and my wife said the Asian Chicken Salads were the way to go and I am happy I listened to her. They were amazing. It is very cute location with indoor seating as well as a small patio that is in the shade and allows guests to enjoy a nice day outside while enjoying a great meal. The service is great and the waiters and waitresses are also very friendly and helpful. Next time my wife and I are in the area we will be swinging by to grab some food read more

Solid lunch place! I've been here a handful of times or ordered DoorDash from them for a quick light lunch. Some of my favorites are their Chinese chicken salad, turkey BLT or the roast beef sandwich. All three of these are amazing. The Chinese chicken salad has a good mix of all the ingredients with plenty of crunch. I would recommend getting dressing on the side and only using half of it since it does get a bit acidic using all of it. Both the turkey BLT and roast beef sandwiches are amazing as well. Classic sandwiches with perfectly toasted bread and good amount of meat! read more

Such a cute little shop with a large variety of fresh selections for breakfast or lunch. We got two sandwiches and shared between the 3 of us and still left very full and happy. The inside hosts a small bakery area as well as a grocery area so you can grab a bite and then pickup some locally sourced groceries to-go. Highly recommend for a casual lunch date and the service was very fast so great for the hangry ones! :) read more
