Joi cafe is our FAVORITE place to eat healthy and nourishing vegan food (and I’m not even vegan, YET!) and drink delicious exquisite beverages and enjoy this unique and magical cozy high vibe community. So excited by the dining experience here many of us from Malibu make the fun and devoted pilgrimage over the hill to this oasis and Mecca of truly GOOD VIBES ONLY simply because the experience here is amazing and truly worth it. Finding a peaceful, soothing and still social, happy and lively hub of wonderful souls and guaranteed nurturing energy is a gift in this face paced world. Remember discovering this real magic place of culinary and visual delights when it first opened over eight years ago and I’m a dedicated follower…and I don’t follow anything or anyone usually and this is my first time in my life I’ve ever written a review. The BEST!!!!! All the stars and beyond for this great cafe. Thank you for creating a welcome inclusive atmosphere of love and conscious eating pleasure. Own your magic. Warmth. BRB. 💛

Boring, undercooked and over priced. Initially was excited for unique veg options. Potatoes nearly raw, veggie patty cold and barely cooked inside, veggies bland, no flavor. I asked for cooked potatoes to replace mine but they never came. Salsa bland. Fun tuna side was edible, cant say much more than that. Dry toast with nothing on it? No thanks. Thanks for the butter upon request (I dont eat much butter/marg but was hoping to make this breakfast edible) but it also didnt have any flavor, couldnt save that toast. I found this breakfast a waste of time, money and tummy space.

I have been plant based for 8 years. Ive eaten at hundreds of vegan restaurants. I am also the author of a NYT Bestselling and James Beard award winning cookbook. I first had the pleasure of eating at Joi Cafe before I knew anything about them because I did what every vegan does when they roll into a town theyre unfamiliar with: type the word vegan in Google maps.I believe in grading vegan restaurants solely upon their merits. I do NOT believe in grade inflation because theyre vegan, theyre trying, theyre nice people (other than customer service). Indeed, I find grade inflation to be at least partially responsible for the amount of meh vegan restaurant options and, now, their rapid demise, which ultimately hurts the movement by reinforcing the notion that vegan food = bad food. In sum, the overwhelming majority of vegan restaurants Ive tried in the past 8 years have been... not great.I say all of this to bolster the credibility of my evaluation for Joi Cafe. My first meal consisted of their Caesar Salad and Broccoli Cheddar Soup. I instantly knew that whoever created these dishes understood not just flavor (the soup), but was a master of texture (the salad). I delighted in each caper buried between conveniently sized hunks of purple kale; was soothed at the sight of nori (an ingredient not usually found in Western establishments) sprinkled between the greens; and utterly amazed by the tang from the dressing.Do I like everything on the menu? No. Jois menu is far too diverse to please every taste every time. But I love so much of the menu, I go back at least 5 times a week. Sometimes its the Caesar Salad, today it was the bagel sandwich, and tomorrow, itll almost certainly be the Acai Bowl (the best Ive ever had--the creator was smart enough to understand you cant just put the toppings on top!). I love that there are plenty of options that do NOT have alternative meat--just plain beans, potatoes, greens, and fruit.The dishes on this menu werent thrown together by someone who watched 17 YouTube videos and now thinks they know how to cook (which is what I sometimes think is the case for most vegan restaurants). Whoever designed the food on this menu knew what they were doing, employed skills that obviously took decades to develop.If you found the food tasteless, bland, or subpar, its likely you went on a very very very bad day (which is hard to believe since Ive gone hundreds of times and NEVER experienced this) OR your tastebuds are defective.

Went to Joi Cafe for my first time yesterday! The French toast was delicious, especially with the blueberries and strawberries! The customer service was great and love the atmosphere.

Great coffee & smoothie place! Super yum, tons of delish options w/ in & outdoor seating. We were here on a Sunday morning and there is a gorgeous farmers market in the shopping center parking lot. Highly recommend!

Where do I begin!!!! The owner JOi was such a gem. I was a bit indecisive when ordering because it was my first time and she literally walked me through every item and was so helpful and sweet. Then the food was to die for!! Literally I have been back every day since. And I have been lucky enough to have been greeted by JOi every time. I recommend this cafe to anyone and everyone that knows what good customer service is and what quality food tastes like.
