Great flavor but they went cheap with the meat.

Lovely experience here, both the little grocer and bar/restaurant side were delightful with a warm atmosphere. All the staff members were friendly and informative on the menu. The sandwich itself was delish and I wish I lived here to try more of the menu. Appreciated the fact that this place feels like a true community center/3rd space, with regular stopping in to say hi and people coming during the day for a drink and work. They also host events, which i think is an important factor of any neighborhood bar.

Fantastic for takeout! 5 star food.
I've had Anna's joint 3 times now. Once takeout, 11/25 (italian sub). Two dine in-- meatball sub 12/25, beef dip 1/26. I keep coming back for the great food.
First dine in experience was fine. Quick register service, good food, nice atmosphere.
Second dine in experience was absolutely AWFUL. The staff was blaring music over the speakers so loudly I had to yell to talk with my friends.
Also the cashier was awol at the register for a good 5 mins with a line formed waiting for service when we walked in.
It was so unbelievably loud in this restaurant that my ears were ringing after we left. My throat was sore from shouting to talk with my friends. There were two other people in the restaurant and everyone looked like they were trying to eat quickly and quietly so they could leave ASAP. On a Sunday, peak lunch hours, this place was almost empty.
Eager to tell everyone I know to that while the food is absolutely FANTASTIC, they should avoid dining here.

This place feels like that friend who casually invites you over for lunch, shrugs it off like no big deal, and then absolutely cooks. One bite in and you’re wondering if they’ve been lying about their résumé this whole time. That’s the energy here.
The vibes are immaculate! Great music, effortlessly eclectic, and clearly curated by someone with taste. Staff is genuinely kind, not performative nice. It’s a small space, so expect to eat standing up or outside, and yes, it’s dog-friendly… but this is Long Beach, so that’s basically implied.
It’s a cute spot, but not in a try-hard way. The atmosphere pulls you in, and the food actually backs it up. Solid across the board, with a few standouts. Pickled Tacchino and Sticky Bird both deliver. Fugeddaboudit was fine, didn’t blow my mind. De Rossi is the star. Easily my favorite and the one I’d come back for.

Yay! I now have a go-to for lox and bagels here in downtown Long Beach! I was welcomed warmly when I walked in, and after that, it was true love!
The bagel was crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside. The lox was fresh, and didn't smell fishy! They actually did it with some fresh dill and yummy colorful radishes.
They sell snack and beverages from all over the world!
Had a really good atmosphere, to sit and enjoy my meal. I will definitely return!!!

Cozy little spot with karaoke 🎤 and friendly locals.
Change in management has seen this place go downhill. They stopped serving Sad Girl Creamery ice cream which was the primary reason why I went here.
Sandwiches were amazing, paired nicely with some good wine 🍷 great people too

Amazing downtown breakfast and lunch spot. It's rare 6 coworkers all agree where to go. It's unheard for us to return 3 days in a row to the same place but that is what happened with Anna's Joint.
It's a bit confusing at first as there are 2 separate locations next to each other, one is a takeaway / bodega market and the other is more of a restaurant / bar. They have the same menu on both sides but the bodega side has a lot more drink and snack selections. Some amazing looking deserts that appear to be freshly made. This is also a full cafe with delicious coffee and drinks. They have mostly sandwiches, soups, salads, some other creative stuff too.
The menu is vast and creative. They have about 4 different types of bread for the sandwiches and they are all fresh and delicious. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. They have limited seating inside and outside although most of their business seems to be takeout. They brought us the food as it was ready, which was a nice touch. This is obviously a very popular spot and people continuously were coming through. I will be back to Anna's and I recommend you try it as well.

People are friendly however food quality is down. Bought this sandwich for $12.. looks like a 1 min handmade from subway. Wasn’t even half a foot long.. I’ll come by for the small snacks but not for the mains.

Great vegan and gluten free sandwiches! The gluten free bread is so good. It can get busy at dinner time but its a fun place with events often. The breakfast burrito is great too and great for vegans and vegetarians. They also serve meat. The wine list is good and the seltzers are great.

Solid sandwich shop. I had the Nashville hot chicken and it was on point. The baguette was perfect. A little light and airy with crunch without being dry and flaky. Potato salad was good but not OMG need to have it again.
Last note - I tried the Aussie sausage roll. This was also very good. I asked for a knife to cut it so we could share but it wasn't needed. The sausage was so tender the fork was all I needed.
There are many sandwich shops in the LB area but this is the gold standard. I will absolutely be back.

The bread will delight you and every bite and crumb will nourish you. I always get the bigger size and have the second half a little while later. My favorites are the Tofu Bahn Mi and the Caprese sandwiches but all the food is excellent and the little market has cute items from local companies. I like supporting this cute sandwich shop - it’s quirky and the bread is delicious.

Super clean and friendly, cozy little joint with amazing food and incredible service. It was crazy busy when I went in but the wait was short, the food was delicious, and the cashier never broke a sweat, she was so friendly!! That was my first experience and I’ll definitely be back when I’m in town.
