So glad this cafe is in the neighborhood, here in Granada Hills. In my opinion the staff, from the busboy to the servers were excellent. But the cooks! I hope they feel appreciated and are living well cause they can cook their behinds off. I had oatmeal with fruits, followed by eggs, sausage, bacon and more. Great American breakfast! Coffee kinda sucks but their espresso machine was down. Go there! read more

Place now seems to be permanently closed. I only ate here a couple of times I don't really believe in expensive breakfast places I mean come on it's just eggs and batter. Hopefully something more traditional will go in here just some good old-fashioned home cook dinner food cuz everything else seems to be closing down that was fancy or trendy. read more

The food's definitely not bad, but you'll feel the $30+ price tag staring at you the whole time. The stuffed French toast is stacked and photogenic... pile of berries, mountain of whipped cream, golden crust... but it leans more pretty than punchy. Syrup helps, but it needed a bit more flavor in the actual bread. The pork belly eggs benedict looked fire, but the hollandaise was a little one-note. Still, the portions are solid and the service is fast and kind. still a vibe tho The cafe itself gives waiting-room energy. Chairs are decent, space is clean, but the decor feels like a dentist's office. That said, if you're here for a brunch 'gram or visiting from out of town, you'll enjoy the meal... just don't expect it to change your life. It's giving Beverly Hills pricing with a Burbank vibe. read more

Service was great. Food was average. However I'm shocked that for $19.50 the croissant was half the size of a normal croissant, one strip of bacon cut up and one egg. I left the Smoked Gouda cheese off. read more

I think I may have found my new fav breaky/ brunch spot! It's located in such a cute Main Street that seating outside is very enjoyable. Our server was such a welcoming and friendly face! I was only bummed because I wanted to try some coffee and their espresso machine was down, HOWEVER our server did such an amazing job at improvising and providing a yummy custom coffee. I got the tomato soup with grilled cheese and OH MYYY it's a must try! The soup was full of rich flavors and the cheese in the bread was to die for! I deff will be coming back. read more

Been a while since I've visited so decided to get breakfast at 9am on a sunday. Expected a long wait but there was plenty of seats inside and outside. If you bring your pup, there are a few tables outside. Just be aware the sun does hit you so they'll get toasty. You can ask for water bowls. The prices have gone up. I know, everything is going up but $21 for French toast or an omelet was a bit steep for me. We went with the pork belly eggs benedict, the junk, and the pancake balls. In the past, you'd get slices of bread and housemade jams that I was looking forward to, but I guess it was discontinued. The sausage in the pancake balls were pretty dry and dense, but i did like the pancake itself. Our main meals were good, but we werent left craving for more. Our server was polite. He checked on us regularly and ensured our eater cups remained full. I suggest reviewing the menu beforehand to ensure it offers something that will appeal to your entire party. read more

We got lucky and found parking on the street right in front. Once we got there we waited about 15 min after getting in line via Yelp 15 min before arrival (great feature) on a busy Sunday around 10am. We were seated inside and it's very loud. Our server was nice. I appreciated that they had crayons and a coloring page for my toddler. Between everyone we ordered an omelette, eggs Benedict, a burrito, and pancakes. The food took a while to come out. It was okay, pretty standard brunch food, nothing special. We enjoyed our experience overall but it didn't stand out in any way. read more

First time here I added my name on the waitlist prior to arrival. I'm ADA so the Manager accommodated me with a booth but he did say they don't typically seat one person at a booth especially when they are busy. The food is good loved the role and apple sauce nice touch! The bloody marry was good as well very spicy! The burrito is way too much food for me and a little wet but overall great flavor. Loved the library! Bring a book take a book is such a nice touch. Ambiance is very welcoming. It's on a busy street but plenty of street and meter parking. Here is my ranking: Drinks 9/10 Food 8/10 Service 10/10 Vibes 10/10 Overall highly recommended! Yelp Elite APPROVED read more

My girlfriend and I decided to enjoy a meal at Joe's Cafe in Granada Hills. She had been there before, but for myself, it was my maiden voyage into this Sunday brunch scene. Pro Tip: They don't take reservations, but if you go on the Yelp page, you can request to join the Wait List. This makes a huge difference, as you can plan to wait at least 45 minutes during the prime brunch hours on the weekend, and it's so easy to sign up and plan your day. When we arrived, we only had to wait an additional 5-10 minutes within our provided range before we were seated. We were escorted to our table past the dozen or so people waiting outside for a table. The place was packed - both inside and outside. We were given a small two-top inside and provided menus. Our server, Ashley, arrived with a fresh pretzel bun and some seasonal berry and carrot dipping sauces. Ashley was warm, had a great smile, was very polite and totally on top of her sections. The homemade pretzel was great: soft and chewy, served warm. The dipping sauces were quite unique and delicious, with both the berry and the carrot being sweet. Looking over the menu, we decided to each order coffee drinks: Cappuccino for my girl and an Espresso for myself. Also, we had to partake in something called Pancake Balls as an opening appetizer. Served five to an order, these house-made sausages are dipped and fried in pancake batter and accompanied with a maple cream dipping sauce. These arrived within 10 minutes. At first glance, they looked quite good, each one presented with some toothpicks and powdered sugar. Taking that initial bite, the sausage was very hot, indicating they just came out of the deep fryer. The P-Cake Balls were decent, but could have been better in my option. The batter coating fell off the sausage after the first bite and the maple cream dipping sauce really had no flavor. No sweet, no texture, more of a watery mess. While we finished the Pancake Balls and sipping our coffees (which were tasty), my girlfriend ordered the the Croissant Sandwich with Avocado, while I went with the Avocado Breakfast Bruschetta. I could see Ashley running around to multiple tables, doing all she could to keep every hungry patron satisfied. She also checked in on us a few times, which was nice, given the extreme hustle of the restaurant. Within about 15 minutes, our main entrees arrived. The Croissant Sandwich (thick cut bacon, fried eggs and smoked gouda cheese on a buttery croissant, with added avocado) looked quite delicious. The croissant was flaky and all of the ingredients looked and tasted delicious. Personally, I wish the cheese was melted, but my girlfriend enjoyed it. The Avocado Breakfast Bruschetta (fresh pesto avocado bruschetta on a toasted French loaf topped with a sunny side up egg and finished with a balsamic drizzle) was quite good. Simple and straightforward I thought the pesto was delicious and all of the flavor combinations worked. It was definitely a more elevated Avocado Toast. Joe's is a good option for breakfast in this area. The staff are friendly, the portions are solid and the prices average for the quality. The decor is also quite unique and fits in with the localized turf. You'll see some unique artwork, as well as some pretty cool use of kitchen appliances in the form of mixer flower pots and cheese grater and pasta strainer lighting fixtures. The bathrooms are fairly clean (could have used a quick clean up at 11am with an overflowing trash bin in the men's restroom), and the communal kitchen sink is a fun touch. Parking is fairly easy on various main and side residential streets throughout the area. read more

Sooo I've been coming here for years!!! The best part is always the little jam's or whatever they are. They're made fresh and the flavor changes throughout the year. Service can vary which is the only thing... depends who's helping you and sometimes you'll wait 5 minutes for water and sometimes it takes a reminder lol either way the food is yummy and definitely recommend the chicken and waffles. read more

Joe's food is soo good! We went a as a party of 6 and everyone was more than pleased with our experience. I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy and it was different than any I have had before... but, in a good way! The staff were pleasant and took care of us. The food was brought to us in a proper amount if time and everything was served hot as it was supposed to be. The restaurant itself had a great feel and the ambiance was very eclectic. I will be returning!!! Enjoy!! #jsho @jshoeats read more

My husband I looked for a nice brunch place on a Sunday to go to in the valley and pleasantly found Joe's cafe. The entrance is very cute, and I loved the modern open ceiling look with the wood finishes on the interior. Our waitress was super sweet and welcoming, and had great recommendations for us. The bread that was brought to the table to start was sensational. We each ordered a mimosa flight to start, and they came in cute little mini mason jars - the pineapple mimosa was the best. For our food, I ordered the avocado toast, and my husband ordered the burrito. The avocado toast hit on every level, however the burrito seemed like it was half potatoes on the inside to fill it. Overall we will definitely be coming back to try more things! read more

First time here but heard good things from friends. Popped in after a hike which was still brunch time. It wasn't that crazy busy which was nice and plenty of seating outside. Kelsey who took care of us was very sweet and friendly. We sat outside and were brought out some water and bread with jam to start off. The two types of jams were amazing. Menu wise for brunch is slightly limited but does have a good selection. For the price of the dishes, what we ordered was mainly a la cart. The omelette came as is accompanied by some orange slices and was pretty thin. Compared to other places that add a good amount of filling. Even toast was a side order and was 5.50. You would think that it comes with your breakfast which it doesn't. Also the junk, which is a pancake sandwich with sausage, eggs, tomatoes and cheese. Same, came with an orange slices and pretty small portion. Had to get a side of fries which portion wise was pretty small as well. Overall service was great and Kelsey was sweet. They do have a happy hour which sounds good. But food, it was ok. For the price, you would expect some kind of sides with it. read more

Joes Cafe in Granada Hills offers a tasty breakfast and brunch menu. I've come here a handful of times. Their French Toast is what brings me back here over and over again. The service is good, considering how busy this place gets on the weekend. Be prepared to wait, unless you use YELP to secure a table in advance. Everything I've eaten here has been tasty. My only con is their coffee. I'm not a fan. Luckily there are other things to drink. The food is good, the service is friendly, on the weekends reserve a spot if you can. read more

My boyfriend loved the pulled pork burger and fries he said he'd rate it 4 stars. Honestly it was pretty big that it was hard to bite into and he had to use a fork and knife to eat it instead lol. The chicken in waffles was a miss for me. I think the gravy, bacon, and cheese was too much. It made the waffles soggy and it was hard to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed by the weird smell. I would like to try it again just the chicken and waffles. The hot chocolate is bomb! So good and sweet. I feel that the service was okay. Maybe they were understaffed or something. Breakfast was okay overall but we are interested in coming again for the dinner service :) hopping the food is a little better. read more

We arrived about 12:20 on a Monday afternoon. We were seated immediately. We opted to sit inside. Menus distributed. They started us off with a house made pretzel bread and a couple of house made jellies. One jelly was a pineapple rosemary and the other was a mixed berry. Both jellies were really good. The bread was flavorful on its own. My daughter and I decided to share a couple of dishes. I ordered the BLT and added avocado, with a side salad. I chose the house made ranch dressing, for the salad. My daughter had the fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. The BLT had a spicy jalapeño aioli. The produce was fresh and the sourdough bread was toasted perfectly. I would definitely order this again. The chicken sandwich was a real chicken breast that was more pan fried than deep fried. It was nice to not have a processed pre breaded frozen chicken patty. The sweet potato fries were seasoned well and definitely house made. Overall the food here is really fresh and scratch made. The service was outstanding. It was a great meal. read more

Joe's Cafe is a nice brunch spot in the valley. My family came here for brunch at 9am (no wait) and I got the waffles. They had fresh berries, powdered sugar, whipped cream, and even syrup. It was very crunchy, soft on the inside, and definitely sweet. My grandma got the French toast and it had the same things: berries, whipped cream, and syrup but this time with French toast. My mom got the omelet, my dad had the burrito, and my aunt had the pancake but I didn't try any of those. The service is great and very helpful, and I feel like it has a warm and cozy feeling. Joe's cafe is nice, and I would come again! read more

Service was good, friendly waitress. I got the oatmeal and berries which is especially good with whipped cream. I got the mini which honestly wasn't that mini. Girlfriend got the short stack. Honestly, the pancakes were pretty mediocre. My oatmeal though was great. We got a side of biscuits which wasn't southern style but was more like cornbread. All and all good meal, not spectacular and kind of pricey. Ambiance was nice. read more

3/ 5 for this place. Middle of the day and it is hot inside even the AC was on. Steak was over seasoned and it was salty. They fries was also over seasoned and salty. Cmon!!!! It is half way through your day. The water in the bottle was not cold or have around to keep it cool. Maybe we were seated by window near the street and it was warm outside? Well... The stuffed French toast was good. Lots of fruits are on top of it and a good size portion. Service was good and they were helpful and did their best to service us while it was warm inside. This place can do better like get more parking space and add more cooler air inside during the summer. read more

It was my first time trying out Joe's Cafe here in Granada Hills. I opted in for Stuffed French Toast and must say what a WOW dish. I was definitely not expecting French Toast like this, which is a must try when having friends and family visiting. The stuff inside the Stuffed French Toast tasted a bit like it was fermenting fruit, so it had a bit of an alcoholic taste. The service that we received from Daniel was amazing. He would frequently check in on us. He brought over the chef's complimentary pretzel bun. It was sliced, and came with a sweet pineapple sauce and a spicy something (sorry, don't remember). Street parking. It has a relaxed atmosphere inside, a combination of industrial and rustic. Joe (owner) was on the Food Network Chopped, and won the competition. read more

A beloved gem in our neighborhood--it's become our go-to spot for relaxed mornings and catching up over breakfast with friends. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and its convenient location just around the corner makes it all the more special. If only they stayed open a bit later! We'd love to swing by in the evening for a cocktail or a casual dinner. Still, it's a place we keep coming back to--easy, familiar, and full of charm. read more

Haven't been here in years. Hasn't changed. Bad service, can't get your orders right, steak and eggs way overcooked. Only went because visiting kids wanted biscuits and gravy. They didn't like it. We asked for the kids (4 and 6) to eat first. They goodie to put their good in. Adults were all done eating by the time the kids food came. Was a miserable experience with hungry kids! read more

This review has apparently transcended years. My initial thoughts: Ah, this place is neat! One of my best friends from high school drove me out here to eat and add to my Yelp portfolio. This feels like an elegant brunch spot. Very aesthetic. My more recent thoughts: Years later, I came back from close friends from grad school. Still a nice aesthetic. My friends and I had just finished a hike nearby at a place that had been apparently polluted with toxic chemicals many years ago and is apparently a case study for public health crises. Well, I am still alive thankfully. The food was good. I always love ordering eggs Benedicts. The complimentary bread and dipping sauces were so delicious. People love to bring their dogs here, and we were no exception. The servers give out water for the dogs which is very kind. My friends and I are apparently speed running the LA experience: hiking then brunch with the dogs all on Sunday. read more

The food portion was absolutely small. My daughter ordered the pancakes and it was 10$ but the pancakes were so tiny it was ridiculous price for such small pancakes. I order 2 eggs plate and it was again extremely small for the price!!!! The taste was just not great and my daughter stayed hungry because the pancakes didn't taste fresh or good. Service was 5/10. Slow, forgot napkins and forks until I asked. They have indoor and outdoor sitting but I won't be returning. We love having breakfast at More than Waffles that our place to go for breakfast, but we wanted to start going to new places. Definitely won't return here. read more

Today my Hubby and I were in the valley to get glass for our kitchen cabinets. While waiting for the work to be completed, someone recommended we get a bite at Joe's Cafe in Granada Hills. Great recommendation!! I had the croissant sandwich (thick bacon, egg over medium & smoked Gouda cheese on a buttery croissant ) I added a slice of avocado. Simply Delish!! It was balanced with the right amount of every ingredient. It was very filling and I was unable to eat the entire sandwich. Very, very pleased with my selection. My husband had the French toast topped with fresh berries and whipped cream and powder. Delicious as well. He added a side of country potatoes and a side of bacon. He ate everything!!! His selection was also a great choice and very delicious. As for the coffee, I will say it is a little watered down. Not as rich or robust as I prefer. But yet and still we had an excellent brunch on a early Friday afternoon. Our server Carolyn, is a sweetie. Pleasant demeanor, pleasant voice. I would definitely come back here again whenever I'm in Granada Hills. I will give it a $$ for cost. But worth it! Pay Joes Café a visit soon. You won't be disappointed! Signing off...
