"This family run establishment was outstanding in many ways. Our server Alexa was very cute and on top of things and treated us as if we were in her home. Her Dad was cooking and even though there was a short wait on the food timing we understood... Everything is scratch made here and the Dad was the only one cooking today. Alexa delivered a very nice experience for us and the food was delicious and quite unique in preparation and presentation, we loved it. From outside this place doesn't look like much and the street view and interior could be cleaned and improved upon to make it more of a clean atheistic. We were wanting to go to a Cafe and found one of the best by word of mouth. We were so glad to have showed up here. If it weren't for the ceiling needing cleaned above our table today I'd have given five stars across the board. With a sound cleaning of the restaurant and some paint I think this place would have a much needed charming update. Thank you Alexa and family for being so amazing. We will be back and I hope this review helps. Everyone should go here for a visit. Wow Yum."

"First timers here at Joanna’s Cafe, late on a Friday morning, came I from Menifee. The place was packed with almost every table filled. We were seated right away, and our drink orders were taken just as quickly. My wife had the small breakfast, and I had the corned beef hash topped with three poached eggs. The food came out fast, hot and deliciously presented. Wife’s bacon was perfectly crispy, and egg ordered over hard was on point. My poached eggs…I couldn’t have asked for better. We couldn’t drink our coffee fast enough, because our server, Alexa, frequently checked on us. She was like a one woman serving army taking care of every table in the place by herself!!! She didn’t miss a beat. The owner, Jose Duran, even came out of the kitchen, coffee pot in hand, checking in with every customer in the place. Definitely a must visit! We’ll certainly be back again…it’s worth the drive! 👍🏼"

"Woodcrest local -- nice to see a small restaurant still providing quality service in an area that's being consumed by fast food. The people are nice and respectful. The food is good and the coffee is hot. I really like their pancakes and menudo is good as well. My only advice is to give the outdoor dining and the restrooms some love."

"Food was good, servers were nice... went with coworkers and we all liked it, will be going back to try something else. I spent a little over $20 for a salad and a few slices of avocado."

"Absolutely delighted, always delicious food and THE best customer service. They treat you like you’re at home. I love this place"
