History

In 1998 Joan's expanded into an adjacent storefront on the then-sleepy Third Street, helping to realize a "lifelong dream of opening a gourmet foods marketplace and café." San Francisco chef Chester Hastings is also on board and after coming to work at the store in 1997 and then marrying Joan. A major expansion also took place in 2007 tripling the size of the now spacious store.

The LA Times review noted that Joan's is the rare in LA specialty foods store that "stocks essentials -- salt-cured anchovies sold by the ounce, capers under salt, ricotta cheese, fleur de sel (a specialty sea salt from France), and imported De Cecco brand pasta" and "a small selection of carefully chosen cheeses, such as locally made burrata, English Cotswold, or a truffle-infused Boschetto."
