Joanie's Cafe

Went for lunch the other day and we really enjoyed it. They have both inside and outside seating. We sat inside and our server Hugo was very good and funny. 😁 We had French Onion soup that was really good. We also had the Joanie's Club and the Greek Salad, and both were very tasty too!

I had the breakfast with corned beef hash and it was one of the best I’ve tasted. Staff are fantastic, very professional and attentive. I’ll definitely be back here

Visited Joanie’s Cafe yesterday with two friends and overall had a decent experience — the food was good, though on the pricier side for what it is. However, I’d strongly encourage anyone dining here to carefully review your itemized receipt before paying. We were charged $24.50 for a “Club Fries” that none of us ordered — interestingly, the same price as a full entrée, and an item I don’t even recall seeing on the menu. I’ll take partial responsibility for not catching it in the moment, but it left a sour taste (pun intended). Not sure if it was an honest mistake or something more intentional on the server’s part, but either way — double-check your bill line by line before handing over your card. A $24.50 mystery side dish is not a small oversight.

Joanie’s is a staple on California Ave, having been around for more than two decades. After many years, I decided to revisit the place recently. Some things have changed but the place has mostly stayed the same as I remember it. With good service, decent food options, and lovely atmosphere, Joanie’s is a solid choice. In the past, service has been a mixed bag. When we went recently it was mostly solid. There were quite a few instances where it took a lot of effort on our part to get a hold of a waiter but when we did, they were friendly, efficient, and got the job done. The atmosphere, just like most of California Avenue, is more laid back, quiet, and communal. The lovely dining options outside, coupled with the beautiful weather, made the meal more pleasant. The food itself is solid but nothing exceptional or mind blowing. While many restaurants have evolved over the years, it seems like Joanie’s in many ways is stuck in the past. While their French toast was yummy, their potato options (both the hash brown and potatoes) were just ok and a bit flavorless. The eggs were cooked exactly as requested but the beef hash left a bit to be desired. It seems like while others are innova

I recently had the pleasure of indulging in a delightful brunch experience at Joanie’s. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm ambiance and bustling atmosphere—a sure sign of a popular spot. For my brunch selection, I opted for the breakfast medley and chicken Milanese, and I must say, both dishes exceeded my expectations. The breakfast medley was a delightful combination of flavors, while the chicken Milanese was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful with a satisfying crunch. What truly set this experience apart, however, was the exceptional service provided by the staff. Despite the morning rush, they were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest felt welcomed and well taken care of. Overall, my brunch experience was nothing short of fantastic. Whether you’re craving a hearty breakfast or a delicious lunch option, this place has it all. I highly recommend paying them a visit—you won’t be disappointed!
