Spoonfed and Bar Joe: A Hollywood Daytime Restaurant
Spoonfed is a daytime restaurant in the Hollywood Media District of Los Angeles, and Bar Joe is the all-day bar that sits inside it. This site is an informational guide to the place as it was documented in an archived snapshot, not an official channel of the restaurant.
The idea behind Spoonfed
The restaurant was built around a simple motto, “Food is Love.” The concept is a room that feels like a family home, somewhere a person can slow down for a few minutes in the middle of a busy day. Instead of positioning itself as a destination for one occasion, it tried to be useful at many points in the day: a quick bite before work, coffee with a friend, a working lunch, a drink to wind down, or an occasional dinner out.
What the menus cover
The kitchen worked through the whole day, and the archived pages describe three main groupings:
- Breakfast and brunch, from griddle dishes and egg plates to bowls, parfaits and handheld options.
- Lunch and dinner, with sandwiches, flatbreads, salads, soups and small plates to share.
- Bar Joe drinks and snacks, covering cocktails, alcohol-free mixed drinks, wine, draft and bottled beer, and finger food.
Dietary labels were part of the design. Dishes were marked as gluten free, vegan or containing nuts, so guests with those needs could scan a menu quickly.
Bar Joe
Bar Joe is described as a relaxed place for people who like both coffee and a daytime drink. Its beverage list leans on a short, carefully chosen set of wines and beers, playful versions of familiar drinks, and a wide range of options without alcohol.
