Rating Breakdown

When JOI first opened, I was one of her very first customers! I still remember convincing my mom to drive me there just for an iced latte and a Caesar salad. I’d been searching for real vegan comfort food that didn’t taste like a compromise — and JOI totally delivered.

“The Beast Burger was juicy and flavorful with an incredible house-made Thousand Island sauce. If you want a light yet satisfying vegan burger, this is the one!”

On a later visit I tried the Pure JOI Classic coffee (hazelnut + cinnamon), a maple donut, and French toast. The coffee — rich with cacao, coconut whip and vanilla — blew my mind. I’m not a coffee person, but I drank half the cup without even realising. Their vegan lasagna is pure comfort: hearty, saucy, deeply satisfying.

🌟 Wishlist for Next Visit

I’d love to try their seasonal menu items and the full breakfast spread. Also keeping my eye on any new product launches — their branded merchandise is adorable.

Dishes I've Tried

The Beast Burger

Juicy, meaty, with house-made Thousand Island. Absolute standout.

Caesar Salad

Classic, crisp and creamy. The vegan dressing is genuinely impressive.

Vegan Lasagna

Hearty and flavorful — pure comfort on a plate. Worth every bite.

Pure JOI Classic

Hazelnut + cinnamon + cacao + coconut whip. Rich and velvety perfection.

Maple Donut

Soft, sweet and satisfying. Goes perfectly with the coffee.

French Toast

Thick, custardy and lightly caramelized. A weekend brunch must.
