    Burrito
    Serli N.

    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.

    Tomato soup and The Extra Cheese Grilled Cheese
    Marlen B.

    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.

    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

    Pork Belly Eggs Benedict

    Everything was super tasty. I came with a friend for breakfast and the pancake and pork belly eggs Benedict were super delicious.

    Came for an early brunch with my family and I'm surprised this place is not more packed. The service was very friendly by everyone working here and the food came out very quickly! The prices are also very fair would recommend to come here for a quick traditional bite to eat.

    Avocado Breakfast Bruschetta.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    BBQ Pulled Pork
    Liliana V.

    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.

    House made bread and jelly
    Mike T.

    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.

    Pancake balls
    Vijay C.

    Came here with some gym friends for a weekday brunch and it was a delight. We sat outside on a day with beautiful weather. 11 of us. The server was fantastic, very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. Had some mimosas to keep the fun going. A very nice spot and you can find street parking all around.

    Waffles, French toast, Omelet.
    Erin H.

    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!

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.
