JOi Café // Coffee by JOi

The food is delicious, staff is nice and kind, and the place is neat and clean.

Great selection of foods, desserts, and coffees and beverages.

You can also eat very healthful foods here and things are not soaked in oil and salt.

Highly recommend.

Awesome! Plant-based food, vegan restaurant with amazing coffees. You don't even realize you're eating vegetables. Very good. They also have a new location called JoyBirds. Located at 299 Thousand Oaks Blvd #4, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360

I'm amazed. I had so nice lunch over here. It was so perfect, all the flavors in all the dishes. The huevos rancheros (I forgot to take a picture) with 'egg' is a bomb, everything on the plate tasted so much! I felt like I was dining in France lol. We also ordered breskfast beyond sausages with hashbrown and veggies, and it was perfect too. As a side it came with pancake. It made us think to order the whole pancake menu, but we were already full....what else to say. They have very nice display of very unique all vegan desserts, high quality vegan cheeses and I bet the smoothies are delicious too, because as I've seen on other tables, they have something like whipped cream on top! I can't wait to have another opportunity to visit this place! (If you come on Sunday, there is a farmer's market going on that day and you can buy nice organic local fruit and veggies after having this great food)

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. 💛

I'm loving this whole vegan thing and your food and that smoothie was delicious. Me and my wife will be back when we stroll through TO again.

So grateful to have this sensational cafe locally!! I have been eating here for about 5 years now. The staff is always friendly and inviting! The food is above & beyond EXCEPTIONAL! I love that I can order anything on the menu and not have to worry, since everything is vegan & gluten free! Everything is soooo yummy!!

I have been plant based for 8 years. I've 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 they're 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 "they're vegan," "they're trying," "they're 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 I've 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. Joi's 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 it's the Caesar Salad, today it was the bagel sandwich, and tomorrow, it'll almost certainly be the Acai Bowl (the best I've ever had--the creator was smart enough to understand you can't 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 weren't 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, it's likely you went on a very very very bad day (which is hard to believe since I've 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.

You can just tell this is a beloved place. Every time I come here you can just tell how happy all the customers are, and it looks like there are regulars who eat here every day. I have been eating here since they opened.
I wish I can eat here every day. Everything is so fresh & the owners really take pride in the taste of the food and how clean and beautiful everything is. It’s really hard to make meatless food taste good, and they do probably the best job in the country of making everything taste wonderful.

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!

Just wanted to stop by for a coffee & was pleasantly surprised to see a very full menu when I walked in.

I ordered the Almond Joi(choice of almond or oak, chose almond) & it was probably one of the best almond based drinks I’ve tasted.

I also ordered the “Street corn” to go and it was delicious, definitely street level. Next time I’ll see if there is a “esquite” style or off the cob version. Also I’m used to white corn rather than the yellow corn they used but overall it was solid and the flavors were on point.

Excellent customer service even through peak times. I’ll definitely come back here for their pizza and other menu items.

Really delicious food. The servers were friendly and helpful, the restaurant was clean and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for this busy establishment. The salads were surprisingly my favorite: well dressed and very fresh produce. I look forward to my next trip to Thousand Oaks so I can come here again.

Joi is my go to for THE best Matcha EVERRRRRR! I love their salads and smoothies too, especially Georgia Peach 💓 I have all my meetings here because the energy is high vibrational and there is lots of seating indoors and outdoors. If you haven’t been you must go NOW!

Great place to have breakfast! Their staff is friendly, their chai latte is delicious. Pancakes are yummy and their Avo toast is a must! Restaurant is clean and tidy

Came in for some breakfast and saw they had fancy banana pancakes. Well they call it superfood pancakes but they do taste like banana pancakes that are healthy. I ordered that and a coffee total was $20. Man inflation is killer! If I went to dennys and spent $20 I’d feast like a king! But I’m in town and wanted to support local. It’s located in a shopping plaza and they open at 7am. Everything seems to be made fresh and they have free wifi and unique color choices for aesthetic I’d come check this place out as they have a variety of other healthy food and not so healthy food. Looking at them donuts! Hope that’s as helpful! @ninjaxfang

My favorite One Love Smoothie! Morning ritual! I love this place I come almost every day. Smoothie and coffee in the morning and something wonderful for lunch later. Staff is great. Try everything on the menu it's all good!

I just recently found JOi, and the quality of the food and drinks punch far above its relative price point. I had the CLOUDSURFER coffee, along with the Shroom N Truffle 10" pizza and The Southsider burger with the hungry planet patty. The service was friendly and the food was brought out quickly. The serving sizes are generous and the items are well thought out and very tasty!

I’ve left reviews for Joi cafe before because it’s my favorite place to eat. But I thought the new menu item deserved a new review! The new salmon salad was so tasty and full of fresh yummy ingredients! If I could give it more than five stars, I would! Joi never disappoints and the fact that I don’t have to worry about food allergies because everything is vegan and gluten-free is a plus!

If you haven’t tried Joi cafe yet, give it a try. You can’t go wrong with any of the salads or pizzas, honestly everything I’ve tried has been delicious, made with super fresh hood for you ingredients! Ohhhh and get a latte or matcha to go with your meal 💖 yummmm 😋

Have been coming here since day 1, and the food just keeps getting better and better! It’s always busy, and the owners are constantly making sure everything is clean. I love that they have specials but also the OG menu items! I love the pancakes, the sausage & hash, the south slider, and any of the pizzas! You feel soooo healthy after feasting, because everything is vegan, gluten free, and organic! You would never know, and my carnivore husband loves it too.

Both coffees and food were really good! Recommend the cloud surfer 2.0- tastes like tiramisu!
It gets really busy but our food didn’t take too long to come. Would recommend!!
