Julian Cafe & Bakery

Our favorite place to stop in Julian for what feels like a home cooked meal. I always like to try something new when I come because all the food is truly delicious. Some of our favorites are the meatloaf, bbq chicken salad, chicken tortilla soup and chicken pot pie but you really can’t go wrong. It gets busy during the holidays but it’s absolutely worth the wait. This year we did their thanksgiving menu and everything was fantastic. This place is a true gem, the service is always wonderful too.

Popped into this place for some pie and coffee after dinner as it was one of the only places still open. Waited about 20 minutes for a table but it was worth it. Had a piece of apple-boysenberry and a slice of their seasonal apple-pumpkin both with a crumble top and huge scoop of vanilla ice cream. So good!! Some of the best pie I’ve had. Will definitely be back.

We had a nice breakfast here during our visit to Julian. The portions were generous, the service was friendly and welcoming, and overall the experience was solid. The food and coffee were good, though not particularly outstanding — but definitely satisfying and well-prepared. What really stood out was the value: prices were reasonable for such a touristic area, which is always appreciated. All in all, a reliable breakfast spot with good portions, friendly staff, and fair pricing. We would absolutely come back.

Amazing little restaurant! Definitely try it out when in Julian. It can get crowded during busy days, which has slowed down the service, so I recommend putting your name up in advance! The food was spectacular! Juicy cheeseburger with the PERFECT crispy fries, and AMAZING homemade ranch for dipping! I have nothing bad to say other than the small atmosphere, but that’s not a big problem. Overall: highly recommend

We had a great time at Julian Cafe & Bakery and were lucky enough to arrive before there was a line. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal. We enjoyed both tea and coffee, which were excellent, and the food really stood out. The corned beef pie was flavorful and comforting, and the omelette was fresh and well made. Overall, a lovely spot with great food and a warm vibe. Definitely worth a visit when in Julian.
