I'm not so into the cafeteria style seating and quite honestly the service could be better... that said, I have to give it 5 stars because bringing my wife a Chinese chicken salad from Jones makes up for all sins and shortcomings apparently.

These days most restaurants have lowered their quality and/or portions sizes due to the economy and the high cost but this Joan's quality and portions were great.
Had the Short Rib Sandwich and the Breakfast Burrito delivered and they were both amazing.
Thank you guys

The worst part about Joan’s is that it’s really hard to park but street parking is definitely possible.
We had two sandwiches and honestly both were great. I had the braised short rib sandwich and wow, truly incredible. As someone who has tried to make braised short ribs before, I know how hard it is to make it as tasty as this sandwich was. The short ribs were delicate yet packed with flavor. When paired with the gooey cheese and the delicate greens and the slightly sweet pickles, it was truly an incredible experience. It is kind of pricey for a sandwich but definitely worth it.

What a great place. Met Joan briefly and she is a remarkable and inspiring woman. A must stop when in town. Try the granola and chocolate bar....delish.

Been in a couple of times now, and I'm always shocked by how little the staff knows about the product, and how little they care. I saw a kid excitedly order a chocolate milk from the coffee bar and the guy turned the child and father away with nothing. That's insane, they absolutely have milk and chocolate syrup behind the counters if they make Mochas. No care for food allergies, overall rude, and I'm just not sure what could be wrong with the hiring process to include so many dull and unkind people.

Great service. The food is freshly prepared as you can tell by the way it tastes & arrives hot. I haven't tried everything on the menu besides just a few breakfast items. The staff is friendly & & brings food to tables. It's pricier than most other market cafes, but I enjoy the ample seating & ambiance.

Shortrib sandwich was really as good as they say. The turkey club did not disappoint either. Happy to have experienced what all the hype was about. Would love to come back for so much more that was offered.
Joan’s on Third is one of those timeless Los Angeles spots that feels both effortlessly chic and comfortingly familiar. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm buzz — people chatting over cappuccinos, the scent of freshly baked pastries, and a display of gourmet salads and sandwiches that look straight out of a magazine.
The menu has something for everyone — from the famous short rib sandwich (rich and tender) to the truffle egg toast and perfectly crisp fries. Even their iced vanilla latte feels special here, smooth and subtly sweet. The desserts and bakery section are impossible to ignore — their cookies and cupcakes are some of the best in LA.
What makes Joan’s shine, though, is the ambiance: airy, casual, and filled with natural light, yet still feels like a bit of an LA scene. It’s a perfect spot for brunch with friends, a solo coffee, or to pick up something fancy for a picnic.
Overall, Joan’s on Third is that rare mix of cozy and elevated — a must-visit if you love great food with a touch of everyday glamour.
And I thought delis usually is small and narrow. Here is so spacious with all types of sitting area, which makes feel more comfortable to stay here a whole afternoon. Sometimes just holding a cup of coffee and sitting by the window to watch people passing by.
