This is a fabulous place for breakfast or lunch. The food is absolutely delicious and most importantly the coffee is very good too. Everything is beautifully presented, making it very hard to make a choice! Tables available inside and out on the pavement & we loved the atmosphere on a sunny LA Saturday morning. Lots of lovely things available to... More

We had breakfast at Joan's twice. The food is good and the place is very nice. You can eat outside or inside, where they have large tables you can share with other customers. Vaste selection of food to takeaway as well. Parking is available in the back. I

Once again I find myself at Joans and it's great. How do they do it. This place should be the standard by which all other servers of food in Los Angeles are judged. The setting/decor is so fresh and inspiring, the food 10/10 and the service faultless. I have been to Joans the 6 times I have flown in from... More

Joan's really sums up the new 3rd St. experience. It has become trendy on 3rd St., with lots of designer shops and galleries-but it stills feels "real" there. There are lots of good breakfast choices to enjoy in the outdoor seating area including eggs, fresh baked goods, cereals, etc. and the coffee bar rivals ant Starbucks or Coffee Bean. We... More

We love this deli/restaurant. We had lunch. The soups were great and the sandwhiches. The chicken with bacon is a must. And get the homemade potato chips. Cut very thin and very good. We also come here for their desserts. The apple desserts are good and so are their cupcakes. Kid and pet friendly. There is valet parking in the... More

If you have no problem dropping over $9 for a simple egg salad sandwich or over $6 for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then this is the deli for you(not including 9+% LA sales tax.) They have a huge selection of designer cheeses for take out also, It is nice to look at the extensive variety, but if you... More

Joan's on Third is a bit of a hybrid between a decent cafe, a deli, and a patisserie. In my opinion, it does each of these things well, but not brilliantly. We were a large group for brunch and we managed to get a table outside, but with the bustle of the multi-faceted nature of Joan's, the roundabout way of... More

I just love Joan's, and come by several times a week. My favorite is the turkey club sandwich; my son loves the fried chicken sandwich. The takeout salads are nice, soups are good as well. They have a selection of cheeses and prepared foods, an assortment of wines, and, of course, an array of tempting desserts. Coffees are excellent. You'll... More
