5 star review from us! My girlfriend and I were passing through en route to the airport in a hurry, asked how many minutes it would take to get a chicken bowl to go. They told us 8 minutes and had it out in 5 minutes, and it was a really tasty bowl! Staff was super friendly.

20 dollars for a sandwich that had barely any avocado or patty and was 90% lettuce is abominable 😭😭😭 especially for a place where you have to get up and get your food yourself. i wouldn’t mind paying 20 if it was at least good but all i got was bread and lettuce basically. the people that work there are nice but the food is not good and esp not worth the price.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ John's Garden – A True Malibu Gem!
John's Garden in Malibu serves up the freshest, most delicious sandwiches around! My go-to is THE FARM — packed with avocado, cucumber, bell pepper, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, and mayo. It’s light, healthy, and surprisingly filling, especially with the fresh side salad.
The outdoor picnic table seating gives you a laid-back, local vibe that’s both peaceful and refreshing. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by for a tasty, wholesome meal.

Long time customer of John’s, as it’s so easy to grab and go for a healthy and fresh option at the beach.
I absolutely love their tuna salad sandwich and have found this to be one of the few places I can get sprouts over lettuce. Amazing alternative!
They always have a wide variety of chips and drinks to complement your meal.
Don’t be surprised if you experience less than stellar customer service though. Staff is often slammed with orders and guest that aren’t very attentive, which I’m sure is frustrating but not an excuse to be rude.
The quality of the food is what keeps me coming back, and since this is not a sit down restaurant it’s easy to ignore the okay counter culture here.
Pro tip: order ahead on your phone and grab your chips and drinks when you pick up. (Those options are not included in their app menu)

I understand the concept and I really liked the store but the sandwiches were not worth it! 80%of the sandwiches are greens the bread is dry and overall very low quality sandwiches

Had a great Sunday in Malibu, at the beach, walking around and ended up getting lunch from John's Garden. I ordered the BU-BERRY protein smoothie and a chicken avocado wrap with side salad, and could not be more pleased with the food and customer service. Everyone working there was very welcoming and friend.
Won't fulfill a door dash order even though they accepted the order. The incompetent staff didn't know how to cancel the order and had us call support to figure out the situation. Do not order food from this business they will just cancel your order and not say anything.

Exceptional food taste. Highly recommended to stop here for the lunch or breakfast.
A Malibu icon that rarely disappoints. We love that they have so many veggie options. The Chinese salad is delish. It’s definitely expensive for a sandwich shop, but that’s Malibu for you.
