Always Amazed - Edit
I love this cafe. The food is always so consistently good and I always meet the most incredible people here. I love how there is education happening inside the café as well as the deliciousness of gluten-free and vegan food. I’ve been introduced to many great books here as well.

Very nice vegan place. - Edit
Rich Roll is talking quite often on his podcast of this lovely place and since I was in Hollywood, decided to pass by (its quite a drive, especially with traffic in the other direction towards LA, now it was more than worthwhile. If you are a Rich Roll fan, take also some time if you are there to drive around in the Santa Monica Mountains, an area he talks quite often about for training, in his podcast.)
Read moreJoi Café is a nice space, now when entering you don't realize Rich Roll is involved (no Finding Ultra, The Plantpower Way, This cheese it nuts... books on the shelves) and it was only when I was asked what I'll drink, that I saw on the Smoothies the 'Rich Roll' one, that it was confirmed I was in the right place.
The staff is really very friendly, helpful and the owners Joi & Nic took even time to have a chat with me, always a nice warm welcome, which I found awesome!
The food is vegan only and they have a wide variety of choices.
Which goes from salads, normal vegan plates to even some dedicated RAW plates which are great!
You can choose between eating there or taking away.
I had the 'Rich Roll' smoothie (of course), the RAW pizza and then tried out several desserts.
Pros: Great vegan food, Nice vegan choice, Lovely staff
Cons: Quite a distance from LA

Dry old bread :( - Edit
The BBQ jack was not buheno, bread was extremely dry and crumbly. The Bob Marley definitely needed more sauce, lots of yummy veggies with not enough dressing.

don't miss JOi!!! eat here!!! - Edit
Wandered into JOi as I heard Rich Roll was an investor and thought maybe his wife ( who apparently is an amazing chef) helped with the menu. I was blown away with the beautiful food, huge servings, and terrific taste. Eat here! I had the Bob Marley and the Enchiladas. Usually you have to get two entrees to fill up. Not here!! Leftovers!!
Read morePros: large serving, beautiful presentation, amazing tas
Cons: it's not in my home town

Delicious and cheerful - Edit
Finally made it to JOi to have lunch with a friend. The space is bright and cheerful with individual tables and a large communal one. The menu has lots of different choices, including breakfast all day. You order at the counter and get a number. I got the BBQ Jack sandwich and my friend got the Mac n Cheese with Caesar salad. I also got a 5150 (half Chai/half coffee). Both were delicious. We stayed so long to catch up and chat that we ordered food to go for dinner too. The staff were very friendly and never bothered us about leaving even though we were there a long time. We definitely plan to return.
Read morePros: all vegan, nice space, friendly staff

the best vegan enchiladas ever - Edit
I love this restaurant. It has it's history with a world famous ultramarathon runner. the indoors is lovely. there's a community table as well as seating for two and bar table seating by the windows and outdoor seating. the food is incredible. the price is right for the area. during the lunch hours people look like they enjoy being there. they even offer takeout options that are premade like they have in the Starbucks refrigerated section.

This is our Go-to place to eat out. - Edit
The meals are well balanced so you don't have to worry about leaving satiated. It's 100% vegan, and it's big on presentation. The dishes are as beautiful to behold as they are delicious. We always leave happy and content. Love the food, the service, prices and the convenience.

Favorite Restaurant - Edit
This place is a triple threat, being organic, vegan, and gluten free! I've never been disappointed by my food there and the staff is always super friendly. If your in the area, I highly recommend checking this place out. My favorites are Julie's Delight smoothie and the Bob Marley salad :)

nice find - Edit
We went yesterday but didn't know it had been there for a whole year. We will be re visiting again I'm sure. Nice ambiance but the young women at the counter were a bit unfriendly when we asked about the food prep and peanut allergies. one repeated several times the food my husband ordered did not have peanuts, when we were asking about prep and to tell the chef not to cross contaminate. She ended by showing us the bottom of the menu which says they are not responsible....blah blah. Joi brought our order to us and totally made up for her staff. I had the " tuna ". The sandwich was tasty but the salad on the side had wilted lettuce in it. My husband had the greek bowl and enjoyed it very much. When we left Joi told us about special chef night once a month Tuesdays. Most important the food is good, priced well, and my husband didn't get sick from peanuts.

We stopped by here on our trip up to the central coast. I liked the atmosphere as well as the food. I had the SouthSider burger. It came with a side salad that had really good sauce, and the burger was really tasty too. I would totally go again if I'm ever in the area.
