I love that there's a location in the valley now. They've been here for a while now as I remember when they first opened. It was always the original location on third that I used to always go to as it was close to work. Now there's another location without having to cross over the hill. Not my first time here. The location is amazing as it along the little strip of Ventura place. Just north of Ventura blvd along a cute area with other little boutique shops. It's not a big place but it's quite roomy both inside and with the outdoor seating. They pretty much have everything. Cute place for a nice meal catching up with friends or pick up some of the to go items. Everything is always fresh and prepared daily. Not only meals, they have a really extensive cheese selections. A gourmet shop with tasty pastries, cute souvenir and good food. More than likely you'll run to into someone in the industry also enjoying their meal. Common courtesy, respect people while they're dining. It's also a nice place to grab a coffee and pastry and people watch.

Mixed berry scone
Alex J.

Joan's missed the mark on so many different things. Service was great from anyone I interacted with and I love the layout and design of the space. However, the food and coffee are just lackluster. The vanilla muffin thing had great texture, it was fluffy, pillowy soft, and a thin crust. Flavor wise, it was poor. There was hardly any vanilla flavor and besides the cinnamon sugar coating, it was just like eating a plain cupcake. the crust on the mixed berry scone was fantastic, so crispy and caramelized. But it was so thick, dense, and doughy with nothing to account for it. And then the coffee . . . I ordered an Americano and the barista asked if I wanted milk in it. I've never had, seen, or been asked if I want milk in an americano. Fine, not a big deal. But then I took the first sip and got the bitter taste of burnt coffee and a mouth full of coffee grounds. I took a second sip and threw out the cup. Sad experience all around

It's a fight to find parking over here, but my sandwich, and cold brew were worth it! I asked the person who took our order if they could heat up my deli meat (because I'm pregnant and trying avoid listeria), and initially she declined, but when I mentioned I was pregnant she said she could do it (pregnancy bonus I guess?) I ordered the Turkey Club with bacon, butter lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, and added some avocado. The sandwich was great, and I enjoyed my cold brew as well. My friend grabbed a Chinese Chicken Salad, and mocha. She was a little thrown off by the fact it looks like it comes in serving bowl/dog-type bowl, but she said she enjoyed the salad, although she wished the chicken wasn't breaded. Service leaves a little to be desired in terms of friendliness, but the food and drinks are decent. Ambiance is nice sitting outside, and conducive to catching up with a friend.

Not bad and nice ingredients but barely warm. Bacon was dried out and brittle. Probably a one and done for me.

Yet another great experience in this spot. Their Short Rib Sandwich is nothing Short of amazing. The meat literally melts in your mouth and is very delicious. The sandwich comes on a perfectly grilled white bread, with cheese and caramelised onions and some greens. Very yummy combination. In addition, they have probably the best chocolate chip cookie that I've had in LA. The only thing is , I almost needed to beg a lady working there to warm it up for me. The lady kept telling me that she just took it out of the oven. After touching the cookie and realising that it's barely room temperature, I needed to ask her again to heat it up nonetheless, because I like my cookie here temperature hot, so it is slightly crispy, while the chocolate chips themselves are melted, and delicious. At the end, I got my cookie served right and it was amazingly good. All in all, Joan's is a great place with great food, just don't resist warming up my cookie!).

Roast chicken
Marjan N.

The service here has definitely improved and the space remains just as welcoming, bright and spotless as ever. But let's get to the star of the show: the smash burger! If there were such a thing as a 6-star rating, I'd give it here without hesitation. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to be blown away by a burger at this spot, but that's exactly what happened. The magic? The pickles. I'm pretty sure they make them in house and it shows. They are crisp, fresh, seasoned with dilll and carry just the right amount of salt. That tangy acidity cuts through the richness of the double smashd patties and melted cheese. The patties themselves were textbook perfection: crispy carmelized edges with juicy flavorful centers. Every bite was a perfect balance: pure unpretentious deliciousnesssss!!! Behind every great burger is a greater fry. Not too greasy or salty, the potatoes and oil used are of good quality which helps to enhance the flavor experience. We also tried the roast chicken with vegetables. The chicken was tender and nicely cooked, though it didn't reach the same wow factor as the burger. What did surprise me (in the best way) was their cheese and butter selection. They stock Beurre butter from France... the gold standard of butter and truly the only one i'd call "real butter" here in the States. So yes.... I'll be back. Not just for that phenomenal burger and fries, but also to stock up on butter that makes everything taste better.

Fingerling with chimichurri
Rae C.

Ordered the short rib and originally hash browns on the side. Once I walked in, I saw that they had another area with items that weren't on the menu including fingerling potatoes with chimichurri so had them swap out the hashbrowns for these. I also noticed that the sandwich didn't come with a sauce so found that they had a garlic aioli on the side of the fried chicken sandwich and as predicted, it made the sandwich taste so much better than it already was (which it indeed was). The potatoes were okay and which it came with more sauce. The service was great though and it was pretty spacious inside and out. The menu is pretty pricey so can't come here often but would defiantly return. The outside was super dog friendly too!

Smoked Salmon Bagel Sandwich
Raya M.

I tried the lox bagel for the first time today and once again they didn't disappoint. Most restaurants you order a lox bagel and they serve it to you with each ingredients separately soI really appreciate the fact that they actually created a lox sandwich here and I didn't need to build the sandwich myself. The sandwich was yummy and refreshing. I would 100% order this again. It was a really busy Sunday, but we still managed to find a table before our food came out. I picked up my favorite pickles from here too to enjoy during Fourth of July (overpriced? Absolutely! But I do love them, so I wanted to treat myself)

Breakfast burrito (ask for the veggie version and they sub veggie sausage for the bacon)
Cari N.

Joan's on Third in Studio City was great. We were able to order quickly and easily found a table for 3. We had the breakfast burrito (they can substitute veggie sausage for the bacon), the English muffin breakfast sandwich, the turkey and avocado sandwich, a slice of pumpkin bread, a lavender matcha latte and a mimosa. The sandwiches and burrito were amazing, and so filling we each took a half home. I had the breakfast burrito with veggie sausage and it was amazing. The pumpkin bread looked boring but the flavors were great and it was very moist. The latte was beautiful and good. I'd pass on the mimosa, it was served in a basic water glass and not very appealing. All in an all good food and good dining experience, I'll be back.

Cheese pizza iced americano
Jamie F.

Been wanting to visit Joan's on Third in Studio. I was a regular at the other location and love it. I ordered a delicious cheese pizza. It's a good people watching spot. Fresh clean space with lots of delicious food. Espresso was delicious. Excellent service. Lovely strip of shops.

Brisket sandwich
Rima Z.

Always enjoy the option for a nice casual lunch when nosing around the deli. Spacious, airy, and lots of fun things to try. Prompt and efficient service to the table. Brisket sandwich was beautifully grilled and full of unctuous meat and cheese. Tough to make a decision on which salad option to select. My companion is a fiend for tuna, so that was quickly decided. The Brussel sprouts contains dates which was an intriguing combo - done. Amd thé beans also looked good. Tuna was full of extras, but a tad dry. Thé Brussel sorouts had nice pieces of date and shaved Parmesan. The beans were a nice variety and a tangy dressing.

Pantea M.

Love this place. Best short rib sandwich and their asian chicken salad is to die for. The place is really cute and laid back. Highly suggested for a yummy Sunday meal.

Very nice place for breakfast and lunch,nice atmosphere and very busy

It was full and the whole parking situation with the metered is a cluster fuck. Not part of the restaurant....lol... Found street parking along Moorpark which was only a little walk to the restaurant. There was a band setting up when we arrived which could also be the reason for a full parking lot. I overheard someone saying that certain days they have live music which is perfect as it's starting to heat up. Nice dining experience with live music. We ended up sitting inside for the ac which I would have love to be outside but it was fine. Breakfast had ended but the lunch menu was quite good. I've alway ordered at the counter each visit which I'm not even sure they have waitress service with order. After ordering, a number is give where it's placed on the table. As there was a couple of us, a few dishes was had. I alway go for the mimosas deal, 3 for the price of 2. Food, the Cobb salad which I forgot to add protein to it but it was still decent. That came with their vinaigrette dressing but a side of ranch was also asked for. The Brie and turkey sandwich with a side of the macaroni salad. Sandwiches were quite tasty with the toasted bread and how everything melted together. The burger which was pretty big in size. Tasty from what I was informed and served with a side of fries. Lastly, the avocado toast with tomatoes. Simple and cheerful. Plus you need an extra side order of streak fries with ranch. Both ketchup and their avocado dip was brought out as well. Food was good, the service was great. Both with the gal at the register and the waitress bringing out the food. It's pet friendly which is also nice to have the little pup with us. Forgot, they also have a nice display case of sweets on hand. And cookies that were massive. Clearly one was had before the meal. Sweets beforehand is always a good idea. Great service, nice drink, live music and a lovely crowd. What a nice way to enjoy lunch on a Tuesday afternoon.

They have a small parking lot out front but it's quite small, I found a parking spot a couple blocks away. It's on a busy street though so beware of fast traffic. They have lots of outdoor seating in the patio, it's mostly shaded and seems like a great spot to come and do work. They also have a big indoor space as well. You order inside and they bring your food out to you. I got the Chinese chicken salad. It came out pretty quickly and had a nice presentation. It was good overall but also not the best I've had in town.

This was my first visit to this location. There was only one person ahead of me when I lined up to order around 9:50 am on a Monday. Loved the chill vibe of the outdoor seating area, which was quieter than inside where there were a few tables. Service was friendly, and they bring your food out to you after you order at the counter. I ordered the Lonestar Migas (5/5) that was packed with brisket, cheddar, and pico de gallo. It's delicious and pretty filling on its own! For breakfast tacos, I got the Don't Mess With Texas (5/5) which is a MUST try. A perfect breakfast taco! I also got the Guadalupe (4/5) which was good but I realized I'm less of a chorizo fan and prefer the brisket or bacon I had with my other menu items. The outdoor area is also dog friendly! I fully enjoyed having breakfast here and getting to see a few sweet, well behaved dogs was a bonus. I wish we could get a HomeState in the SF Bay Area! I can't wait to come back for more tacos.

When you try to get the salsa out, only liquid pours onto the tacos and you don't actually get any of the salsa goodness until you wack the bottle SO hard and then it comes FLOODING out. I ate my tacos sans salsa because I couldn't even get it to come out of the bottle. What a bummer because their salsa is delicious! I got my usual brisket breakfast taco and it was just sopping wet. I don't recall it ever coming out that juicy. It was delicious, but super soggy. I also ordered my tacos on the corn tortillas which were good, but their flour tortillas are definitely the star. One soggy taco isn't going to deter me from coming back, I do love the food here. Just wanted to provide feedback on those sauce bottles! Love, A salsa girlie

It was a busy Sunday, especially with the Studio City Farmers Market happening nearby, so we ended up parking a bit farther away and walking over. The location was easy enough to find once you're in the area, as its right on the corner of Ventura Blvd. and Laurel Cyn. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved at a decent pace. I'm assuming it was mostly due to how popular the drinks were at the time and people taking their time ordering. The space itself had a clean, trendy aesthetic that fit well with the Alfred Coffee vibe. We ordered matcha lattes, and they were surprisingly good in the best way. Smooth, rich, and not watery at all, which honestly can be hard to find. At the time, seating was pretty limited, but I've noticed they've since added an outdoor seating area, which is a nice improvement and makes me want to go back and see what else has changed. Overall, it was a great first experience, solid matcha, cute setup, and a spot I'd definitely revisit now that it's more established.
