Netflix's Nobody Wants This is set to return with its second season. The first season of the Kristen Bell and Adam Brody starrer released last year and became an instant hit among the fans.
With season 2 on its way, fans have been wondering about where the series has been filmed. The series was shot at various locations in Los Angeles.
Let's explore the different locations in detail.
Where was Nobody Wants This shot? Revisiting key filming locations of the Netflix drama
1] De Buena Planta - Where Joanne and Noah’s First Date Blooms:
Early on during the season of Nobody Wants This, Joanne and Noah's awkward but charming first date takes place at a location called De Buena Planta in Silver Lake.
The restaurant had been picked as a filming location after being mentioned in the initial pilot script, according to location manager Derek Alvarado. Known for its Mexican-inspired vegan menu, the restaurant originally started off as a pop-up before turning into a full-fledged joint.
Inside, you're bound to find greenery that covers the rustic walls and food items like jackfruit taquitos and mushroom tacos al pastor.
While the Silver Lake location has been shut down, fans can still get a hold of the vibe at the sister restaurant, The Butcher's Daughter, located in West Hollywood.
2] The Pleasure Chest - Episode 4’s Memorable Search
By Episode 4 of Nobody Wants This, Joanne is on a mission to find the (fictional) "Obliterator," which brings her to West Hollywood's very iconic The Pleasure Chest.
The shelves in the shop are fully stocked with adult-themed toys, earning its decade-long reputation as LA's 'must-visit' shop for intimate shopping.
Ever since its opening during the 1980s, it has been a landmark for locals and visitors both. The scene in the show may be comedic, but the location choice is a quick heads up to the character and their personality, and the show's willingness to embrace humor that revolves around adult and mature themes.
3] Mirate - Mexican Flavors and Key Turning Points
Mirate in Los Feliz pops up twice in Nobody Wants This. In the opening scene, Joanne is seen running away from it after a terrible first date. Later, during the season finale, she's also seen brunching with her friends while thinking about a life-altering decision.
Mirate's offers two separate bars, and its menu mostly leans toward Mexican food. The warm interior quite easily mirrors the easy banter and shifting emotions in Joanne's conversations, making it a fitting location for these turning points in her life.
4] Pilates Eagle Rock - Gossip Between Reps
In episode 4 of Nobody Wants This, we trade cocktails for some munchies as Joanne is seen having a chat with her friends at Pilates Eagle Rock.
This studio in Eagle Rock highlights a different side of life in LA. A side where people catch up on drama while perhaps even benching. The scene here is both comedic and relatable, showing how casual conversations happen anywhere in the city of Los Angeles, even in the middle of a workout.
5] Mama Shelter - Rooftop Introductions
Episode 7 of Nobody Wants This has Noah meeting Joanne's friends at the rooftop bar of Mama Shelter in Hollywood. Located above the city, the rooftop at Mama Shelter offers a beautiful skyline view, including the Hollywood sign.
In real life, the space has colorful decor, making it popular for tourists as well as the locals.
Its youthful and social energy works perfectly for the onscreen meet, where relationships start to intertwine with twinkling lights all around.
6] Iguana Vintage Clothing - Treasure Hunting in Style
Episode 6 of Nobody Wants This starts with a sister shopping trip to Iguana Vintage Clothing in Sherman Oaks.
"Rich people have the best garbage," Joanne grumbles as they browse and search their way through the rack of clothes. Known for its diverse collection that spans decades of fashion, the store is truly seen as an all-time fashion time machine.
The colorful chaos of the space mirrors the dynamics of the characters in the scene is truly one to look out for, especially if you love the charm of LA.
7] Harold A. Henry Park + Yeastie Boys - Bagels and Affection
Episode 10 of Nobody Wants This delivers one of the show's sweetest moments: a weekday make-out session at Harold A. Henry Park in Mid-Wilshire, complete with bagels from the Yeastie Boys truck.
In reality, Yeastie Boys run multiple trucks across LA, and the one closest to Noah's home in Eagle Rock is a fan favorite.
8] The Village - Brunch, Books, and Observations
In episode 8 of Nobody Wants This, The Village in Studio City plays a part in a scene where Rebecca reads Where the Crawdads Sing.
The restaurant's Happy Hour, live music, and weekend brunch make it a neighborhood must-visit. Its cozy bar atmosphere in the show suits the tension and curiosity between the characters.
9] 3rd Base LA - Victory Drinks
After a sports win in Episode 7 of Nobody Wants This, the Matzah Ballers celebrate at Hollywood's 3rd Base LA.
Televisions line the bar, beers are flowing, and Joanne awkwardly mingles with the players' partners. The atmosphere here captures LA's sports bar vibe.
As a bonus nod, the following scene shows Morgan wearing a Casa Vega shirt, which is a wink to another beloved local eatery.
10] City Spa - The “Shvitz” Scene
Episode 6 of Nobody Wants This features Sasha visiting his father at "the shitz" to talk about a promotion.
Filmed at City Spa on Pico Boulevard, the scene wasn't just acting, but it was genuinely hot. Alvarado shared that even with the sauna off for two days and air conditioning brought in, it was still 105 degrees.
Beyond saunas, the spa offers massages, European body washes, and ice plunge pools for the guests.
11] Los Feliz 3 Theatre - A Kiss to Remember
Joanne and Noah's "friendly" date ends here in Episode 3 of Nobody Wants This with a kiss that proves otherwise. The Los Feliz 3 Theatre, opened in 1935 and later converted into three screens, retains its Art Deco charm.
To date, it remains a hub for indie, classic, and blockbuster films, making it as much a cultural landmark as a romantic setting.
12] Sinai Temple - Faith and Storytelling
Religion is very much important to Nobody Wants This, and the production took great care filming scenes in real synagogues. For important scenes, they chose Sinai Temple on Wilshire Boulevard, the oldest Conservative Jewish congregation in Southern California.
Founded in 1906, it moved to its current location in 1956. Its role in the Netflix series reflects the tension, humor, and the genuine exploration of faith that shape and mold Joanne and Noah's relationship.
Nobody Wants This is more than just a rom-com because now it's also a walking map of the hidden gems that you can easily find in LA.
Every location was chosen to feel lived-in, from bars to parks. Season 1 invites the fans to see the city as the characters do, and revisiting these spots before Season 2 of Nobody Wants This drops is the perfect way to keep the story alive until new episodes arrive.
