"Joyce's Coffee Shop in Northridge sits just north of the railroad underpass near Parthenia Street - a re-emergence into the light of the day that leaves drivers blinking. Which may be the reason that I, for one, have never really paid much mind to Joyce's before. And that's kind of sad, since Joyce's has been in business for 70 years."
"And since I have a well-documented passion for the San Fernando Valley 's innumerable breakfast and lunch only spots, it was fated that I'd wind up at the counter at Joyce's, admiring the wall art paying homage to life in the '50s, and considering the 50 or so egg dishes - many of which have very likely been served since the very beginning - the kitchen cranks out with Olympic speed."
"Loco Moco was first thrown together at the Lincoln Grill in Hilo, Hawaii, back in 1949. But it took many years for it to make its way to American menus. And I have no idea when its hamburger-less spinoff - Loco Loco - was first offered, but not in 1955 is a good guess. Both Garden Burgers and Beyond Burgers are dishes of our time - and not Ike's."
Joyce's Coffee Shop sits just north of the railroad underpass near Parthenia Street in Northridge. The diner opened in 1955 and has operated for 70 years. The interior features wall art that pays homage to 1950s life and evokes a museum-like atmosphere. The kitchen produces roughly fifty egg dishes at high speed, many likely on the menu since opening. Some modern items have been added over time, including avocado toast, Loco Loco, Garden and Beyond Burgers, and house-made organic watermelon and pineapple juices. Vegetarian and organic options were once niche trends associated with Topanga Canyon.
