Great spot for an excellent meal! Accommodating staff makes it feel like I’m at a friend’s house for a good homemade meal. Don’t sleep on their specials- they make some great stuff from scratch.(Cash only!)

Great food, good prices. Old-time coffee shop.It's a small place, so limited seating.Cash only.They have an ATM, but I don't know the feePARKING out backParking: A few parking spaces in the street. Enough parking out back
I have been coming here for years before the new owners took over. Under new ownership, the place is even better. Service is always friendly, and food is served up fast!I always get a solid breakfast here, and finally, someone who knows how to cook crisp hash browns! Just be sure to bring cash as they don't take cards, but they do have an ATM on-site in case you forget.

This place is AMAZING! Not only does the food give you a true "homemade" style feel, the ambience and workers go above and beyond your usual diner style customer service!The owner of the restaurant is the most sweetest and gracious of hosts. This restaurant is CASH only so please be mindful of that (they also have an ATM at the ready for emergency).Truly amazing experience here! Support your local small business and come to Joyce's where the quality of food AND the people are 11/10!

Oh my goodness was this tasty. Come by, it’s worth it. I had the breakfast burrito and I was not disappointed. The coffee tastes good, the service was excellent. They were quick and efficient. Be prepared for cash only, but they do have an ATM if you forget. Oh and the pies are delicious!

I can’t say enough about how much I fell in love with this amazing place, the staff, and their incredible food. A true hidden gem in the heart of the valley.
I've lived in the valley practically my whole life (my family moved here in '73). I've driven by 50 million times and have only notice it lately, but I never stop in. Until today.Apparently, "Joyce" opened up this diner in 1955. It was hers until Walter & Michelle took it over some number of years ago. I got this from Michelle herself as she was who served me. I told her how I lived here always but never came in before now. She says she hears that every day.Alright first off, this place really is a true throwback to the 50's. Not because it's decorated to be that. More because that's when it was decorated and it doesn't seem like anyone's done much to change it, though I will say it's extraordinarily well preserved.It was explained that Walter is from Guatemala and he grows his own coffee beans (didn't know you can do that in SoCal?). Very good coffee. in fact the scent of it kinda hits ya (in a good way) as soon as you walk through the door.I ordered simple breakfast, bacon and eggs, but I threw them curve ball and asked for my eggs basted. So few places seem to get that quite right. But Walter came through like a master.Michelle also brought me a comped plate of pancakes because they're Walters specialty. And they were goooooooood... So light & fluffy. If pancakes are your thing, these are better than DuPar's....Looking forward to going back soon and trying something from their lunch menu....
