JOi Cafe in Westlake Village

JOi Cafe first opened in Westlake Village nine years ago under the direction of Joi Stearns and Nic Johanson. The restaurant offers a full menu of coffee, tea, smoothies, breakfast and lunch offerings as well as holiday meal kits—all of which are vegan and gluten-free. Over the years, JOi Cafe has attracted many plant-based celebs including Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Joanne Molinaro (The Korean Vegan), and more.
