Tried to come on Easter. They were closed. Tried to come on Monday they were closed. Then when I finally get there. I was excited and said “Third times a charm!” Explained how I had try to come for my first time to eat here. Then a blonde working the front told me “Yeah, and were closed now.” I said “You don’t close until 2:30?” Then she rudely said “We close early.” She said “We lock the door 10 minutes early and shut down the grill.”Mind you I am already inside the establishment and they are not closed. I came 15 minutes prior to them closing. As I was walking in a couple was just leaving with their food in to-go boxes.The blonde was not the only rude person so was the skinny old brunette.I told them I was never coming back because the way they treated me.How unprofessional! You just close early? Then refuse a new customer that planned to come back many times?Pretty sad I had looked forward to coming to this place because of the reviews. Mostly wanted the Gyro and also planned to come back for the chili dog.The owner should definitely have a talk with her employees because that is not how you run a business!

We love eating at Joy's Kouzine! Our favorites are the Spanicopita, the Gyro, and the Greek salad - delicious! Joy sold the business to new owners and transitioned it exceptionally well. The food is the same excellent quality, and the team is very friendly and accommodating. It's a fantastic storefront cafe, definitely one of our regular go-to spots in Venice.

Our family absolutely adores this restaurant. It's like having breakfast made with care and pride from the owners to all the staff. Our server was fantastic, funny, and on the ball. The veggie omelet and home fries were delicious as were the mushroom, ham and cheese omelets. Not to forget homemade biscuits. We gave everyone a hug and see you in January.

Absolutely unexpected fantasticness!!! Large menu with home cooked food. More omelets than you can crack an egg at. I had the ham mushroom and egg crepe - large wheat crepe filled to the brim with ham. Cooked perfectly, I couldn't be more stuffed myself. Service with a smile is one reason I'll be back!!

Incredible food and amazing servers! The last time I went with my son and it was a little mistake with my order but I told the server ni problem, and either way she gave us a discount. The gyro is just amazing. We will be back for sure!

Cute little restaurant serving up some excellent crepes both savory and sweet along with omelettes and gyros. Ordered the cream cheese stuffed crepes and they were awesome. Service was quick and excellent!

Ever since Alma and her family left it's not the same and that includes the food! I'm talking about the Spinach Feast and Gyros. Too much feta cheese in the crepe, seems to drown out all other flavors! I specifically asked for the meat to be cut thin and I got 1/2 inch thick pieces of gyro meat!!

Went for Sunday brunch with a group. We got in at a good time because it got crowded quickly. Place was packed!Our server was friendly and attentive. Food was good and portions were huge for me. Had to take half of my food home.I asked for Swissh cheese instead of feta but I guess they misunderstood so they put both cheeses. Not a big deal. They accomodated my request to add spinach to the gyro omelette.

I enjoy dining at this little breakfast/lunch spot. I have only ever had breakfast here and it was delightful. The omelettes are a good size and I enjoy the home fries that accompany them. Food is made to order, fresh, filling, and tasty. The original owner sold the restaurant but she still works there and she is a sweetheart. The new owner is very nice as well. If you're looking for a solid breakfast place, this is your spot!
