Joanie's Cafe reviews
18Incredible lunch with my husband and baby. Really accommodating with us and our newborn and the food was great. Love the extra outside tables with the road being closed!
Sunday morning breakfast:
- Was able to find a place to sit quickly, nice vibe, quick service.
- Ordered chocolate chip pancakes, it’s good, pancakes might’ve been made of wheat flour, something new and different for me. You can’t replace the fresh fruit with other side, so had to take it. (Shared hash browns with a friend though)
- Ordered pineapple juice too, never tried it before. It’s too sweet, don’t order if you don’t have sweet tooth
Went for late breakfast around 10am midweek. Service off the get go was great. I ordered the traditional eggs Benedict, my wife ordered the Mexican Scramble and of course we got French toast to share. All the food was amazing in my book. Definitely will be returning.
Great outdoor dining area and excellent service! The food was delicious. We ordered the Crêpe Bretonne and Goat Cheese Omelette and both were amazing meals. Very satisfying flavors and the goat cheese just melts in your mouth! Would love to visit again.
I tried the Crepe with scramble eggs with cheese for the first time and it was a weird different in a good way. I think it would of been good with hashbrown on the side in stead of my two fruits. Fruit is already included i just felt fruity that day lol. Food was delicious and customer service was great. Restrooms available.
Really good menu of traditional American breakfasts! Their Corned Beed Hash was outstanding with poached eggs. Will be back!
If you are looking for a great breakfast with a friend or family …. This is the perfect place. The food is delicious, service is great and it is always bustling. We ate there three mornings in a row when we came to visit Stanford University.
Not particularly impressive. Ingredients were not fresh. Omelette was undercooked. People were friendly but that wouldn’t be enough to make me want to come back.
Perfect place to grab a delicious lunch! I got the smoked salmon salad. Healthy, fresh and delicious. Love the ambiance as well.
Delicious, good service. We ate inside on a Saturday morning, plenty of space, well ventilated. Outside dining is also available. A bit pricey, $40 + tip for a breakfast for two, price didn't include orange juice.
The food tasted amazing but gave me a slight stomachache afterwards. But that may have just been my lactose intolerance.
Good food and loved the outdoor seating. Felt very comfortable with our group of 6 as there was lots of space and they cleaned the table and chairs throughly between parties.
Good ol reliable Joanie's! Recommend the Mexican Scramble. But Joanie's! Can you open a bit earlier on Sundays? 8 30 am is a bit late for a breakfast place! Still love your place and the old school service. Keep it up.
I’ve been to brunch here twice during weekends. They have outdoor seating on sundays and there’s about a half an hour’s wait. You can put in your name in the waiting list and catch up some shopping in the farmer’s market. The food is pretty good. Outdoor dining is fun. I personally love the coffee and the muffin here.
My first visit here on a mid-week, mid-morning, impulse…Had the chorizo con huevo omelette with sourdough toast and fruit and a single shot of espresso for 22.40 (tax included). I would come back but not as often as I probably would like. Big T, I just wanted an omelette, and this one hit the spot, although the omelette was more of a delicately prepared frittata folded over with pepper Jack and chunky salsa on top…finished it a shot of espresso I thought was key. Thx for reading!
Had brunch and ordered the traditional eggs Benedict. As good as you can get! Perfectly poached eggs, thinly sliced and very tasty ham on top of a nicely toasted English muffin with a really good Hollandaise. The hash browns may be the best I've ever had. I requested that they be crispy and they were great. Crunchy brown on the outside and creamy inside. Would have given five stars but fruit cup had unripened cantelope and mushy blueberries. 4.5 stars. Service was excellent.
I ordered the Goat Cheese Omelette and it was delicious. An interesting combination with artichokes and chives - I definitely recommend it as a pleasant vegetarian breakfast option. The hash browns that came with my omelette were a bit too greasy to my taste, I will get the home fries next time instead. Great breakfast food and reasonable quality of cafe latte. Will be back!
