Huge fan of Joan's on Third in Los Angeles's Beverly Grove meets The Grove area off Third Street!
And this one of Ventura Place, just behind Ventura Blvd /Laurel Canyon definitely holds a candle in charm, quality and comfort... Typically have waited in line for quite a bit, because I'm not an early bird and that seems to be the best time to go on weekends. During the week it's a little more smoother.
Joan's on Third - Studio City has tables and chairs inside + outside along the front patio-esque space and around their white tile brick-like pillars. The inside is fun, colorful, and beaming with character and delights, much like their original location.
I've been very impressed with their expanding menu, grocery/pre-package, bulk buy items, treats and accessories.
The Vegan Chicken Salad, Plant-based Sausage, Sesame Seed Avocado Toast, Szechuan Green Beans...(drooling)... Are all to be enjoyed along with whatever your pleasure is and while I don't eat cheese, they have this crazy dairy variety for cheese lovers... But trust me if they added in dairy-free half pound or pound cuts... I'd go wild lol.
Something for everyone on the menu regardless of dietary needs, allergens, restriction or preferences and most things can be made to order.
They offer catering, food boxes (including cute ones for a picnic, beach day and even the Hollywood Bowl) and so many great things (like that wine & beer selection)!
Parking is mostly metered, but get creative if you don't mind a little stroll with some local residential streets or neighboring places if making more than one stop. Really surprised this side street that Joan's is on doesn't have a shared lot nearby considering how busy it gets, crazy wild on Sundays with the Studio City Farmers Market O.O... That said.
Joan's in worth the trip any day of the week... Plus there's always delivery ;)
