Anna's Joint

It rocks! Usually my son picks up lunch before coming over to my place a few blocks away. The food is good, esp fresh--the bread is heavenly tater tots fun and tasty! Lunch is slightly elevated $$ for a whole sandwich, but I get two meals our it! Alternative choice is to either order half of sandwich or, hmmm, plan on an earlier visit because the breakfast menu give a punch for little bucks! The service was great when we ate there. Eating outside was a pleasure; my Son and I got smiles from mostly all the people who passed by. US? I'm a gen X who made LA my home in 1984. My boy is a writer as well as a millennial. I raised him on magic nature with a renaissance character and he's Vegan. We both enjoyed the vibe and after eating here 10+ lunches, there was only one sandwich that wasn't up to their quality, or perhaps it's cultural California thang. But ohwewise it's fire,🔥Ceck it out and let us know plz. 🩵🌹😋🦁 And a special "hello" to Patrick, my friend's partner who just started working there!

Lovely experience here, both the little grocer and bar/restaurant side were delightful with a warm atmosphere. All the staff members were friendly and informative on the menu. The sandwich itself was delish and I wish I lived here to try more of the menu. Appreciated the fact that this place feels like a true community center/3rd space, with regular stopping in to say hi and people coming during the day for a drink and work. They also host events, which i think is an important factor of any neighborhood bar.

Yay! I now have a go-to for lox and bagels here in downtown Long Beach! I was welcomed warmly when I walked in, and after that, it was true love! The bagel was crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside. The lox was fresh, and didn't smell fishy! They actually did it with some fresh dill and yummy colorful radishes. They sell snack and beverages from all over the world! Had a really good atmosphere, to sit and enjoy my meal. I will definitely return!!!

People are friendly however food quality is down. Bought this sandwich for $12.. looks like a 1 min handmade from subway. Wasn’t even half a foot long.. I’ll come by for the small snacks but not for the mains.

I was actually trying to head over to Coffee Station, but the rain started picking up and I ended up stumbling into Anna’s Joint on Pine instead — easily one of the best accidental finds I’ve had in a while. I ordered the Pine & 5th on sourdough (half sandwich) along with a tomato soup, and the combo was perfect for a rainy day. The Pine & 5th comes stacked with roast beef, tomato, arugula, garlic aioli, mustard, and onion jam — and let me tell you, those last two ingredients are what really make the whole thing stand out. The garlic aioli adds that rich, savory kick, and the onion jam brings in a sweet depth that balances everything out. Every bite was flavorful without being heavy. The tomato soup was the ideal pairing: warm, savory, and just comforting enough to tie the entire meal together. Simple, but done right. Anna’s Joint itself is a cozy little café. Seating is limited, but it’s connected to a bar next door, so you can spill over if the café side gets crowded. They also have a grab-and-go option, but honestly — I recommend sitting down and enjoying your meal here. It has the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to slow down for a minute. If you’re in the area, the Pine & 5th is absolutely worth trying. Highly recommend.
