JoAnn's Cafe, established in 1984 by JoAnn De Lorenzo, is a small diner located in South San Francisco, known for its classic American diner atmosphere and a reputation for good service. While the cafe once thrived on its high standards and attractive servers, it has experienced a decline in quality under the current ownership of Armando Granados.
The cafe offers a diverse menu with an emphasis on breakfast and brunch items, attracting a loyal clientele despite challenges such as limited parking and cash-only transactions. While patrons have praised the eggs and French toast, some have noted inconsistencies in the quality of certain dishes, suggesting that improvements could be made to enhance the dining experience.
