Purple Owl Cafe

Stopped here for brunch at 10 AM on Saturday morning. It took one hour for the staff to prepare our food and the wait was totally worth it. We had great time dining at this restaurant. Fun Guy Tartine dish and hot latte were delicious.

I love purple owl the staff is amazing justice is so sweet and the owner I don't remember her name is super sweet and kind. The drinks are amazing they do really good breakfast and the pastries very good. Plus your in the mountains of Julian double win. Prices are very good your middle ground for coffee prices but better quality coffee. Indoor or out door seating available. The purple owl sign I believe was done by a local artist and it's amazing. Overall 10 out of 10

The tartine (pictured) was the best breakfast I’ve had since I can remember. It’s so good. My son had the grilled cheese, which uses the same bread as the tartine (their homemade focaccia) and he said “this is the best bread I’ve had in my life!” So the food is, without question, 5 stars. A couple of things about the service / atmosphere: 1. The service was very slow. I think this is due to two things, both of which are worth it IMO. First, they’re making everything fresh. Second, things move a little slower in Julian than in, say, San Diego. I like that. 2. They have a “service dog only” policy but it wasn’t enforced. A family brought in a dog and it whined loudly for a while. 3. This will sound weird / trivial, but I noticed it multiple times: the doors to the place, when allowed to

We arrived early (around 8:30) and that was just on time! Because after us there was a line lol! The food was done pretty quickly and we loved it! Ingredients were fresh and tasty. The only thing my husband didn’t like was the black coffee but besides that, come here!

I love it here~! The food is amazing, excellent portions. The banana French toast is my favorite and the oat milk butterfly pea latte is delicious~! Even my boyfriend, who doesn’t drink coffee, likes it. The atmosphere is cute and cozy, there’s outdoor seating too. I want to come back here again. They should add more owls to the decor though.
