Anna's Joint

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.

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!!!

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.

The only downside is I live so far away. My new favorite sandwich spot hands down. Explosion of flavor meshed in perfect balance. Atmosphere was laid back and chill. Would recommend to a friend and their dog if they ate people food

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.

Had two wonderful experiences here. Lunch sandwiches were great! It’s such a cute atmosphere. Came back for breakfast. Match yum and breakfast burrito so tasty. All of the staff was very friendly.

While visiting from out of state this place was recommended by a friend. We went for lunch and really enjoyed the food. Everything was fresh and seasoned well on my sandwich. There was a choice of bread or making it a wrap. I also enjoyed the wide variety of drinks available. I got a local cider. The store was nicely decorated for the holidays and the service was prompt. Seating is a bit tight but there's also some sidewalk seating if the weather is nice.
