## General Business Overview
Joliet Café & Bar offers a dynamic dining experience that transitions seamlessly from daytime café to evening cocktail destination in Playa Vista. Located inside the Free Market (across from Cinemark and Orangetheory at RUNWAY Playa Vista), this versatile establishment serves everything from morning coffee to full dinner service. What makes Joliet particularly intriguing is their hidden back bar, an unexpected feature that adds a touch of exclusivity to the evening experience. Their operation spans all day with distinct café hours for breakfast and lunch followed by evening service with a dedicated Aperitivo Hour.
## Where They Excel

The hidden back bar concept creates an element of discovery for patrons looking for something beyond the ordinary dining experience.
