This place is a GEM. I feel like I’m in an indie film every time i visit this place. This place is so freaking cool. It has all the great classics for music and friendly locals and bartender/server. Very eclectic, warm and overall relaxing.

This is by far my favorite sandwich shop in Long Beach. It doesn’t get any better than this place. I’ve had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and they’re all bangers. I have brought multiple people here and they love it just as much! I just haven’t had their pizza and desserts here yet but i wouldn’t be surprised if that was good too. This place is ALL about the bread. Any sandwich you get, you’re going to be invited to the most delicious holding vessel your mouth has ever experienced. The quality of the meats are really good and the balance between them are spectacular. My favorite sandwich so far is the Track Suit. Warm, savory, cheesy, soft, crunchy deliciousness! And that pickled cherry pepper is EPIC. I want one right now! Can’t wait to come back and try more items.

Do yourself a favor and choose your own adventure here. From sitting inside or outside, it is always cool and nice ambiance; and you can always take it to go, the beach is down the street! They also have a deli shop where you can get cheap booze and cocktails in a can! I have also found new soft drinks that are now my favorite here.

Whatever you do here, you won’t be disappointed, thanks Anna’s Joint 🫶🏻

Pastrami on baguette was way too hard
Had to bite carefully not to cut my mouth
Barely any meat in all that bread
Be careful, this one has jalapeños and peppers

Bartender refused to start our large food order without cash or card on file. As a woman brand new to Cali and with proven significant wealth there is no excuse to be treated like a thief before they even start food.

Not sure what the hype is about. I had a half sandwich on ciabatta and the bread was dry and flavorless, the aoli was only on half of it, and I got the Brussel and they were undercooked and the cornnuts were the weirdest choice of typing 3 and didn't add anything to the dish, except maybe almost a broken tooth.

Had two wonderful experiences here. Lunch sandwiches were great! It’s such a cute atmosphere. Came back for breakfast. Match yum and breakfast burrito so tasty. All of the staff was very friendly.

If an Austin deli savant teamed up with an Aussie pub legend to open a sandwich-forward, beer-blessed haven in coastal California, you’d get Anna’s Joint. This is no ordinary spot—think: crisp tots with a vinegar punch and gourmet sandwiches stacked higher than my hopes for the Cowboys this year.

The second we hit Pine Avenue and saw that bold green Anna’s awning, I knew this wasn’t just a pit stop. It was a sandwich sanctuary, a bread-based utopia, a leisurely lunch kingdom crowned with a disco ball and a playlist that felt curated by someone who owns both vinyl and a deli slicer. The bar setup screamed personality: bold signage, indie beer taps, retro snacks, and enough polaroids on the wall to make it feel like you’ve been part of the family for years.

As someone who grew up Down Under and has deep respect for pub snacks done right, I made a beeline for the salt & vinegar tots. They came out hot and golden, with the perfect zip of salt and tang that hits like a nostalgic punch to the mouth, in the best way. Paired with that creamy herbed dip? Instant classic.

Then I saw it. That unmistakable golden-yellow can. Shiner Bock. In California. No tap required. No Texas proxy. Just me, my sandwich, and a can of home-state pride sweating gently in the Long Beach sun. It was like seeing a cousin at a wedding you weren’t invited to, and hugging them anyway.

Let’s talk sandwiches:

#5 NEO-BLT - A love letter to bacon, avocado, and kewpie mayo. The roasted onion jam tucked in like a secret ingredient from grandma’s pantry, making this the grown-up BLT your inner child dreams about.

#9 SPICY MO, YO! - This one strutted in with swagger. Salami, smoked Gouda, and pickled everything. The kind of sandwich that talks back and dares you to take a second bite without breaking a sweat.

#10 THE TRACK SUIT - The classic Italian sandwich if it had a side hustle in motivational speaking. All the hits: ham, salami, and pepperoni wrapped in crispy lettuce, olives, and a slap of Italian dressing. This one doesn’t ask for respect, it demands it.

#14 DE ROSSI - A love affair between prosciutto, mortadella, capicola, and burrata so creamy I had to pause and reflect. Finished with garlic aioli and olive oil, this sandwich deserves its own passport.

Bonus points for the little pickled peppers served with each: small, fiery, and full of attitude!

Patio Situation: This is where you want to be when the sun hits just right and the sandwiches disappear faster than your willpower. Cozy tables, laid-back vibe, and plenty of people-watching if you need an excuse to stay for a second round.

Final Verdict: If I called Long Beach home, Anna’s Joint would be my default lunch HQ, snack stop, and Friday wind-down spot. I’d celebrate birthdays here. I’d mourn lost football seasons here.

I’ll be back. With my wife.
She’ll steal my tots.
And I’ll let her.
Probably.

We have been to your restaurant a couple times and we love it!!! The food is good, the booze is good, and your staff is so nice. When you walk in you feel so welcomed. Somehow you guys have created a place that feels so hip and yet feels like a neighborhood bar. I just wish you guys had a spot in Zaferia. Please open a second location.

I’m going to keep it semi short and sweet. Definitely one of the top sandwiches I’ve had in the last 5 years. I will not gatekeep either, because i made a couple of modifications. And usually i don’t do that my first time visiting a place but it was my birthday so 🤷🏽‍♂️. I got the pastrami sandwich, i switched the cheese from the usually baby Swiss to their spicy Gouda (WHOA((we’ll talk about that later)) and then of course I also added BACON. this was also on the focaccia bread, per recommended by a great staff member. The bread was delightful for starters. A very soft crunch on the outside, it was actually perfect. The spicy Gouda just meshed with everything perfectly, especially the bacon and the mustard. I personally don’t even like mustard like that but man, it really all comes together. NOW, something that’s not pictured is the whipped feta!!!! Idk why i didn’t take an image of that because it was quietly the star of the show. Of course i ended up dipping my sandwich in the whipped feta and it was immaculate. Definitely consider it just because!! Outside was cool, the drink selection was very fresh and i will definitely be back!!!
