John's Garden - Malibu

Solid prosciutto caprese sandwich $19. Love the outdoor self seating next to the playground

BLTA- $18. But the toast was so hard you could hardly bite it. Definitely not soft sourdough. Overcooked crispy bacon. Huge wedge of lettuce. Not recommended to order again. Especially for the high price tag! Avocado wrap- $18 Better option. Spinach tortilla was good. Avocado, Feta, and cucumbers had a Greek flavor to them. Chicken was a little bland, but acceptable with the other flavors. Still over priced, maybe $12-15 is more appropriate. Both sandwiches came with a side salad with balsamic dressing. A little too salty, but otherwise yummy and a nice side. Overall, for the price, I'm not sure if it was worth it. Maybe it's a location thing and the price reflects that. If so, stick to the wrap, not the BLTA. Nice quiet outdoor picnic tables. Vegetarian options: Several sandwich options on menu. Kid-friendliness: Playground with swings, monkey bars, and toddler size climbing slide very close and visible from tables.

A nice range of healthy, tasty options (bowls, salads, sandwiches, and smoothies) that accommodate dietary restrictions wellNice outdoor tablesWide selection of health food snacks and beveragesHowever, staff seems a bit uninterested, sarcastic even :

As a working mother of two, Jennessy and John, I was flabbergasted at the underwhelming service that John’s Garden provided to us a few days back when we went to try their sandwiches. After picking up little John from Soccer practice, we hungrily sat here, but it took them half an hour to get us started with some water and an additional 40 minutes to actually give us the food, which was bland, to say the least, and looked like it was pre-made at the local Sam’s Club. I urge everyone to stay away from this business for the sake of you and your little children!

Food is garbage and bland. Pesto does not taste like pesto, bread is dry, don’t spend 25 bucks on a mid sandwich that you could make in 20 minutes. Still finished tho
