The Joy Bus Diner

Loved this place! The food is AMAZING & it is all for a great cause- to help provide meals to home bound cancer patients. Although it has a beautiful sign, and mural on the back of the building, it is set back in a shopping center off 32nd St just south of Shea. I drove by for years without really noticing it. I think The Joy Bus HQ expansion last year increased visibility. Plus, there's a few other great spots competing in the neighborhood. But The Joy Bus is a must try! The space has a cozy, diner style vibe. Staff & volunteers are great, there's a cute 1973 VW bus with a dining table (I think you may have to reserve that seat in advance), an outdoor area, a back room (maybe for events, I forgot to ask), and...did I mention the amazing food? Everything coming out of the kitchen had ou

Wow! It’s been a long time since I’ve been to an amazing diner, this food was so good! And it’s for such a good cause that you don’t even feel bad eating it and then it’s for such a good cause that you would think that it would be way more expensive and it’s just not. I was so torn between that huge breakfast sandwich and the biscuits and gravy, I tried the biscuits and gravy and I am so happy that I did! It is so delicious. I’m still coming back for that big breakfast sandwich, though, that thing looked amazing. We got French toast to share, and my daughter got Chilaquiles and she added the beef…. Everything was so good. The orange juice was tasting very fresh squeezed, the coffee was good. The atmosphere was good, the service was good. It was just a great breakfast, we will be coming

Chef Jennifer Caraway created the Joy Bus Diner after losing her friend Joy to cancer. Run mainly by volunteers, the diner has been feeding the community not only in the diner but through home delivered meals for 15 years. Thursday thru Sunday from 7-2, you can grab breakfast or lunch at the diner on 32nd and Shea. You can donate a meal for $15 when you pay for your own meal or check out their website for more donation and volunteer opportunities. Volunteers cook, serve you, and deliver meals to cancer patients in their own homes. We enjoyed a breakfast of fresh squeezed orange juice, eggs benedict, and a quinoa power bowl. The food was fresh, and it felt good knowing that all profits go to such a great cause. Also, in the diner, you'll find @wildthingsbotanicals and can purchase a beau

Tried this place for the very first time this morning, it has a great star rating and the photos look good. Purchased two burritos (chorizo & bacon) to-go. I try the bacon and got nearly half way before the burnt taste was too much. The potatoes were completely burnt on one side. I grab the chorizo and can see the burnt potatoes through the tortilla. I fished out as much of the potatoes as I could, still ended up eating a couple with each bite. I finished eating 20 minutes ago and the charred/burnt taste is still prominent. Very disappointing!

Amazing food and an even better cause! The organization’s core mission is to ease the daily struggles of cancer patients by delivering fresh, healthy, chef-inspired meals directly to their homes, often accompanied by a friendly volunteer (many of whom are cancer survivors themselves). This “more than a meal” approach emphasizes not just nutrition but also emotional support and companionship during treatment. #ShareHope 🌻
