John's Garden

This is a solid summer spot for food and snacks. Their in house made chicken salad bowl is probably my favorite snack their and this cookie was phenomenal. Coconut, macadamia & chocolate chip cookie! Soft, gewy and delicious! I’d definitely get more items in the future as the summer settles in.

Great healthy/easy option when you’re on the go! My fiancé and I were in the nearby area looking for something vegetarian friendly, and came across John’s Garden. We got the Berry Smoothie, a press sandwich, and the Mediterranean. Better than what we had expected! Looking for healthy options that are not your standard chain restaurant is tough, and this was one of the Greats for sure!

Love this spot!! I've been needing to come to Malibu for family reasons over the past year, at least once a week. The sandwiches here are so good and have given me something to look forward to! Fresh and delicious, nice staff, and also great options for chips, drinks and snacks and treats. Beautiful location, too, to eat outside under trees near the beach, with birds and kids playing around! Vegetarian options: Salads and non-meat sandwich options Kid-friendliness: There is a playground nearby! Parking: Easy lot for the entire shopping complex, free.

They have a vast selection of chips, snacks, and beverages. Great sandwiches and delicious vegan options! Everything is so fresh and satisfying. They offer many healthy options and a large selection of drinks. They have plenty of picnic tables with umbrellas outside the shop, overlooking a beautiful sunny park.

They have great options for all sorts of diets, including good vegetarian options! I tried the caprese with pesto and it was delicious and hit the spot. The sandwich came with a small salad as well and the dressing was great. There are plenty of options for drinks and snacks as well. I will be back to try some of the other sandwiches here.

Obsessed with this place! In such a cute location and the food is to die for. There’s a little courtyard that the location is on where you pick up your order and can eat. There’s a playground as well for kids right there.Recommended dishesAvocado, Caprese, Caprese Sandwich

If you are looking for healthy, fresh and delicious food - this is your place. Honestly, it was hard to choose from all the great options on the menu because I wanted to have everything. : We had a European salad and a Prosciutto caprese sandwich, and our kid had a Ham & Swiss sandwich with a bowl of fruits - everything was very fresh and delicious. The fruits were sweet and juicy. We will definitely stop by again. Extra stars for the eco-friendly utensils

John’s Garden is great! The staff is always friendly & they have a great rewards program. I even just got a free smoothie reward for my birthday the guadalajara - it’s amazing! Their sandwiches are awesome & my go to. My favorites are the caprese & the surfer princess! Overall, it’s a great place to eat healthy meals & snacks. Highly recommend!!

Great sandwiches, made to order - and a good selection of chips, snacks, and beverages. Been coming here since ‘90. This is the first place that I’ve ever tried avocado. They sliced it and put it onto a whole grain toasted roll with a hot veggie garden burger, tomato slices, alfalfa sprouts. Very satisfying. They have plenty of picnic tables outside the shop overlooking a beautiful park, where you can sit and watch kids play on the jungle gym while you eat. Good place to spot celebs... but be cool and give them their privacy.

I want more than anything to give this a five star, but the wait just doesn't allow me to. I have been going to this restaurant since I was 8 years old 1986 and some things have changed, while others are almost exactly the same. The Malibu Chef sandwich is still a staple on the menu. Big John, who used to work behind the counter what seemed like every day of the year has passed on to serve delicious food in the next realm. The store is still small, but packed with snacks and beverages. The crowd has definitely changed. What used to be a surfer crowd with Malibu mom's, has turned into LA moved north. High style has replaced UGG boots and hoodies. The food, still amazing. Everything we got was tasty and the kids loved playing while we waited. The long wait from back in the day has only increased, it took us 53mins to get 3 sandwiches, hence the 4 star review. Would I go back and make the wait?? Absolutely. Nothing beats that tuna sandwich, NOTHING!!!
