My first visit to this spot after first dining on 3rd st many years ago. Large open kitchen and bakery with a very friendly staff.pastrami on ciabatta was nicely layered with equal amounts of dressin g , cheese and meat . Great flavor and love those pickles on side! Cesar salad arrived in a large mixing bowl with lots of croutons and shaved Parmesan made for a great salad. Parking on Ventura place has paid spots. Great noise level and vibe here .. see you again! read more

Joan's on Third - Pastrami in ciabatta with Cesar salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Studio City, California

About 15 years ago, my friend and I tried their original location at the suggestion and high praise of our culinary professor. We were disappointed. Definitely didn't live up to the hype. 15 years later, I was looking for a place to grab a couple sandwiches for a road trip. I opted for the ficelle and alllllmoooost only ordered one to share between my husband and I. Thank goodness I didn't, because when I picked up my order, I did a double take when I looked in my bag and thought it was the wrong order. These sandwiches are TINY. Delicious? Yes. But this is basically a breadstick for 12 dollars each. read more

Joan's on Third - Ficelle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Studio City, California

Service was excellent. Very sweet folks at the counter and very attentive bussers. Marketplace is beautifully organized but super pricey. One can get the same products elsewhere. The restaurant felt super chilly, to the point of uncomfortable. And, this impacted the atmosphere. Food was fresh and clean but lacked flavor/seasoning. Just needed some salt and that would've made all the difference. Parking is a deterrent. Overall, I'm happy to have tried this spot, but not enough positives to bring me back. read more

Joan's on Third - Breakfast Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Studio City, California

We went to the Farmers Market and decided to get breakfast here. I got a lobster roll and it was just ok. It is only offered on certain days so I thought I'd take advantage and order it. I would like to come back and try other breakfast items. read more

I ordered catering for my mom's 95th birthday dinner. Sevik (?) was very helpful and sat with me to go over what I wanted and how much food I needed for my guests. We planned on grilling steaks but ordered a cheese/charcuterie plate, shrimp cocktail, salad, mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables from Joan's. Potatoes and veg were in aluminum containers so we could easily heat in oven. Everything else was beautifully packed and presentation-ready. Food was incredibly delicious and very high quality. My guests loved everything, especially the roasted vegetables. Every one was perfectly cooked and seasoned! 4 stars only because it's super expensive. But I didn't have time to do everything myself or shop around. I would absolutely order from Joan's again. read more

Super cute spot Ordered two Cobb salads they were good but beware ...it's HUGE. I would say 2 people can share one and it does have a lot of dressing . Also ordered the chicken meatballs .. they were ok. Staff was friendly . Next time I need to try some pastries :) read more

It's never not packed here. It's definitely a place to "see and be seen"! I love the outdoor seating and the marketplace inside, however everything is quite pricey. The inside is also a little chaotic, with there being three different counters to order. The service was OK, I felt like you could tell they were just so swamped with the rush. I ordered the salad trio and I loved it. The trio I had included the brussel sprout salad, beet and apple salad and curried chicken salad. They were all super good! My husband ordered the tuna salad sandwich and the bread was delicious but the tuna salad had WAY too much mustard. It was almost spicy and I couldn't taste the tuna flavor at all. It was a nice spot to have lunch but I think it's a tad overhyped and don't think there's anything on the menu that super original or unique that makes me itching to come back. read more

This restaurant/bakery is really, really good. We usually get bakery goods and walked here in around 10am and got a brand muffin and coffee cake and both were really good. We had our own drink so didn't buy one. On Sunday morning there's a Farmer's Market in front of the store and while there are some places that sell bakery goods, these are really, really good. While she didn't have to do much Helen was nice when we were deciding which bakery goods to buy and we saw she was helpful with other customers. We'll be coming back, whether on Sundays or other daysl read more

There is no parking lot so find street parking This place was such a vibe! Came in december and they had gingerbread houses made by their employees! All their employees were very friendly too. I love their ambiance their selection of take out and pastries. They have prepared food for you to take home or you can order food there they have cute merch too. I just ordered a slice of carrot cake it was moist for the most part but very dry at the bottom overall not bad carrot cake I will come back to try their savory food items I recommend read more

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. read more

I'm a big fan of their latte, iced or hot. I recently got their iced latte with lavender syrup and it was great. Price is right around $8 which is standard for all other coffee shops nearby. They have a great selection of pastries, market items and a delicious menu as well. Lots of seating options inside and out. A wonderful vibe all across the board. read more

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 read more

Joan's on Third - Parking - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Studio City, California

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. read more

Joan's is pretty much everything you want in a neighborhood meet up spot - indoor & outdoor seating, sweet and savory foods with decent variety, a super cute and thoughtfully curated retail shop, and decent service. I have met up with friends here, had many business meetings here, and about five zillion mediocre dates here. Here are the couple things I don't love (well that most people don't love) parking can be a b!tch here. And the wacky three counters to order and confuse you at situation. As many times as I've been, I'm still not quite sure why there are three different counters, but whatevs. It's an LA staple and there is a reason. It's reliable and good! read more

I ordered a turkey sandwich and mashed potatoes from a delivery service. The mashed potatoes are like the ones my grandmother used to make and the sandwich was equally delicious. I asked for no sauce and no mayo and the sandwich was still excellent. Today I ordered the exact same thing from a delivery service and the greens came with aioli. I was very disappointed. read more

Amazing food here. I always get the breakfast burrito and it's always very tasty! Service is quick, around 5 mins when I went, (Saturday at 10). Sit outside for a comfier temperature, as sitting inside can get chilly. read more

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. read more

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!). read more

Holy Smokes, as far as prices it's not cheap but boy do you get quality. The little baguettes with ham and cheese are my go to. I get three or four and polish them off in a second. Everything here is delicious. All the choices here are top notch and amazing. You gotta come in, look around and believe me you'll find something yummy. Service is kind, ambience is cool. Busy but that's good. read more

Absolutely obsessed with the food here. Everything tastes so fresh and homemade and you just cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. I don't really like pancakes but some mornings I crave the joan's on third pancakes because they are just that good. They have truly mastered every single thing on their menu. read more

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! read more

This place is interesting and has the look. It's a center point of the area. I wouldn't say the food is that remarkable and the selection is very carby and underwhelming. Overall, I see why it's busy but it's not the most exciting or worth visiting again. read more

I always get the salad trio - curried chicken, usually a kale salad of sorts, and a carb. It's always delicious, filling, and reasonably priced. I'm sure the other offerings are great, but the prices deter me. The desserts do look divine though... read more

Joan's was one of the first deli type establishments that you could buy upscale food, like Erewhon does now, but without the hype. Parking is difficult at the Third Street location so I go to their Studio City location now, which is alittle better. read more

Joan's on Third has a great setup at the Ventura location. It functions like a market where you order inside and find your own seat. The staff brings the food directly to you which makes for a smooth experience. The service is efficient and my order arrived in about 15 minutes. The breakfast burrito is a standout and I would definitely order it again. It is a proper burrito with crunchy bacon and soft eggs. The tortilla has a nice crunch to it that adds a great texture to every bite. While the café au lait was just basic coffee, the quality of the food made the visit worthwhile. It is a solid choice if you want a reliable and well made breakfast. read more

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

Joan's on Third - Eh - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Studio City, California

Order was not what I asked for. My sandwich was bland and dry and there was no bacon. $21 for a dry sandwich. Do not recommend.

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) read more

Joan's on Third - Smoked Salmon Bagel Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Studio City, California

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. read more

Joan's on Third is so LA it's actually painful. If you want to walk around a trendy looking restaurant/market space with $10 boxes of marshmallows and $15 jars of jelly, Joan's is for you. If you've seen the coffee cups or tiled floors on Instagram and want to post one yourself, Joan's is for you. If you want to spend $10 on a basic grilled cheese or $12.50 on a BLT, Joan's is for you. Basically if money is not a factor at all and ambiance is most important, Joan's is perfect for you. Unfortunately, I don't think Joan's is not for me. Don't get me wrong, the food here is delicious so I can't knock that. I really like the Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato & Basil sandwich, Pulled Pork sandwich, and Turkey Club, but the prices are steep for what you get. I understand that the atmosphere is cool, but that still doesn't make it worth it in my opinion. The workers are very friendly every time I've come here too but it can take a while so I suggest calling ahead. read more

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. read more

I've been to Joan's on Third many times over the years, but this visit was a reminder of how far "curated" can drift into "needlessly rigid." I asked for a very simple modification: a fried egg instead of a scrambled egg. Same ingredients. Same kitchen. Same price. You'd think I asked for ketchup on caviar. The response? They couldn't do it because it would "compromise the integrity of the recipe." Integrity... of scrambled vs fried eggs. Let's be clear: this isn't a tasting menu, a chef's counter, or a Michelin-starred experience where the dish is a precise artistic statement. This is a busy café with laminated menus, takeout counters, and pastries in glass cases. Invoking "recipe integrity" over an egg preparation feels less like culinary principle and more like policy masquerading as philosophy. If you like your food exactly as written and enjoy being told "no" for reasons that sound fancier than they are, you'll be perfectly happy here. If you expect a little common sense and accommodation with your brunch, your mileage may vary. read more

I absolutely love the did here! The avocado toast is amazing!! And the breakfast burritos. I love that they also offer vegan options literally the perfect California spot read more

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! read more

Although I frequent the original, this one is still good, and I'm glad they're on this side of town. However, I would prefer if 'Jesse M' (name on the receipt) didn't add gratuity automatically to the total. The screen went dark during my transaction and I let him know this; at first he appeared to be really helpful but then I asked for a receipt, only to see the 20% added on even though I didn't choose this option since the screen was dark and I couldn't do this myself. Unfortunately, I had added cash into their tip jar and almost wanted to take it back since he already gave himself one on my debit card. I guess he was banking on the fact that most people don't want their receipt, except I'm not most people. read more

The vibes are nice for a social cafe! We came here for brunch and got the breakfast burrito, french toast, and avocado toast. The portions are small for the price and the food was simple but no complaints. My sister's almond vanilla latte was really good but my whole milk matcha was soooo milky it didn't even taste like matcha. Id go again only for the vibes and only if i want like a coffee read more

Joan's is a treasure trove! It's always very lively inside, so it's hard to be in a bad mood. The service is friendly and although they usually have a full house, they're able to accommodate everyone. I like that they have rotating options. My favorite is probably their pasta or their baked goods. This is a lunch spot or brunch spot. read more
