Apple pie with vanilla ice cream was delicious. The cappuccino was good. The coffee came very quickly but it took a while for us to order the pie. But to make up for the delay, the waitress didn't charge us for two of the four cappuccinos we had. Great service

The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. I got their kind of late and was afraid they would not see me but they did. And I am so glad they did! I had the Texas burger with the barbecue sauce on the side it was crazy good. The burger was huge, and all the fixings were fresh and delicious. The barbecue sauce was out of this world! It reminded me of a barbecue sauce at a little place in Springfield, Missouri, when I was a kid. The French word fries were fabulous! This will definitely be my go-to place anytime I'm anywhere near Julian. I strongly suggest you try it out.

Outstanding experience across the board! We were a party of four, despite it being busy we were seated in less time than was estimated. The staff is absolutely top notch and they have the amount of attention given completely dialed in, not to much or too little. The food was super great! Their kitchen staff really knows what they are doing when executing orders. No one in our group had even the slightest negative criticism, the food was absolutely delicious. We were local to the region and will certainly be making a return trip in the near future!

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!

This is my go-to spot whenever I visit Julian. Their apple pie with ice cream is absolutely amazing - a bit on the sweeter side, but perfect for an occasional treat. Between the crumb crust and pastry crust, the crumb crust is definitely sweeter but still worth trying.

I also had their limited-time Toffee Cider, and it was surprisingly delicious - flavorful and a perfect complement to the pie. If you’re in Julian and craving something sweet, this place is a must-visit!

Love the experience and service here! I started with a hot cup of coffee which hit the spot after a hike. The food is good and served in hearty portions. I enjoyed my chicken pie with delicious mashed potatoes and a generous topping of gravy. The pie itself was a lot of crust and not a ton of filling but still comforting. The coleslaw is good too - pretty sweet! The chicken fried steak is massive and classic. The fries are just okay.

A great place to order breakfast and pies in Julian! Food was wonderful and they had a pretty extensive breakfast menu. This is a very busy place, when we got there there were 18 parties ahead of us at 8:30 am however there are shops nearby to poke around in during the meantime. We were a party of 2 but sat at a table for 6 which may have also contributed to a longer wait time for other parties. The coffees were bland, breakfast food was standard but delicious, and the pies were our favorite out of the three main pie places in Julian. The inside of this place is tight and you can feel it, but also is a great sign that you’re supporting a small business that’s efficiently run

It’s a small restaurant and pretty popular so be prepared to wait for about half an hour to get seated. I was there with a couple of friends and we really enjoyed our food and can’t stop saying this is so much food! Highly recommend it
