Decided to camp close by Julian. The flowing day on Sunday we went to town and decided to get breakfast. As I was searching, I saw a long line outside Julian Cafe. We were a party of 6. Even though it took 40 minutes for us to get a table, the food was worth it. They give you very large portions. The biscuits and gravy were delicious and so was the hot chocolate. I will definitely stop by again to try some of their other menu offerings. Just remember that there will definitely be a wait especially on the weekend.

My hot chocolate was so delicious, yummy! I can't wait to go back and get another one. We had dinner there and we got food to take home because our meals were massive! I would've liked the cheese on the fries to be actually melted, but it wasn't that bad. The burger was huge and perfectly cooked. And the pie, oh the pie! SO good! 100% recommend!

Chili i ordered was very good. Other foods looked good as well. We had to order apple cranberry pie togo. Hope it meets the expectation. Fast service.

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.

Julian is so popular that parking is just crazy on the weekends. This said, the café is probably the most popular and best place to eat downtown, so wait times for lunch can get to be well over one hour. Staff will let you know about this when they are taking your information for your reservation (you reserve your seat when you arrive when there are wait times, kind of like waiting in line). I was told 45 minutes to wait for a table for 2 at 2 pm on a Sunday (lunch rush). When I came back there was a misunderstanding and a second person told me it would be 30 more minutes. I came back a third time and thankfully found the person who I spoke to originally and she managed to seat us! I didn't catch her name but I'm so grateful! We were served drinks within minutes of being seated and it took about 15 minutes for our food to be prepared and it was worth every minute of the wait. There are some places where you specifically order the one thing because it's their specialty and the one good thing they sell, but here I try to order something new each time I come because the food is amazing and I want to experience it all! I ordered the chicken breast and it was amazing. It was juicy and the crust was crunchy and it melts in your mouth. The gravy has a wonderful blend of spices. They had an option of fries or mashed potatoes. I had mashed potatoes the last time, so I asked for the fries this time. They were crunchy but not hard, not salty at all, and not greasy. The coleslaw is fresh and light, not heavy or greasy, and not overly sweet. I ordered a double shot latte. It was perfect. I didn't want something sweet. But if you like something sweet, you can add flavoring. We didn't order desserts, because we were satisfied with our food, but we have taken whole pies home before and they are delicious. If you are in Julian, this is the place to go. It's definitely worth the wait.

From the very first bite, I was blown away! I tried the apple pie and the cinnamon roll, and let me just say—they were out-of-this-world delicious. Hands down, the best I’ve tasted so far! The flavors, the texture, everything was perfection and made the stop so worth it. If you know of any other spots serving desserts this good, send them my way—I’m on a mission to find the best! Go out, explore, and treat yourself to something amazing!

The food here is delicious and the portions are super generous—definitely come hungry! The atmosphere is charming and cozy, but emphasis on cozy—the space is pretty cramped, and the bathrooms are oddly located through the kitchen, which feels a little awkward. Be aware that breakfast ends right at 11:30 sharp—miss it by a minute and you’re out of luck. Also worth noting: the entrance has a big staircase and is not wheelchair accessible, so plan accordingly. Despite the quirks, it’s a great spot for a hearty meal in a cute setting.

I ordered the medium prime rib, but unfortunately the one I received was a bit overcooked. The flavor was still good, but it wasn’t cooked to the temperature I expected. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I was a little disappointed this time.

We both had the Chicken Pot Pie Turnover. It was very disappointing. Not enough sauce/gravy in it. The gravy was all on top and soaked into the crust making it mushy. We asked for more but never got it. The Cole Slaw and French Fries were delicious.

Very cool rustic restaurant. About a dozen tables and a pretty good-sized menu. I was looking for a chicken fried steak sort of thing and the waitress recommended the fried chicken with gravy. Well, definitely not chicken fried steak patty or gravy. The gravy was good but the fried chicken lacking. Mostly fried batter which looked huge but hid a medium sized chicken patty. Half of the batter was over cooked and the other half under. Would not recommend it. Also tried the chicken quesadilla. Very large and good. Of course, had a slice of apple 🍎 pie. Pretty good. Cool place to visit and get a slice of apple pie. Might try the burger next time. Those on the table next to us looked good. Pick your entrée carefully and...enjoy!

Liked it till they gave me plastic. Not onion, but a large round fried piece of hard plastic. Couldn't chew it luckily. Won't be back.
