Share your opinion about Julian Cafe & Bakery

We visited today and had the best lunch since visiting San Diego! I loved the atmosphere and our waitress was super cordial and sweet!!!
I HIGHLY recommend this amazing restaurant! And don’t even get me started about the apple pie!!!! Let me just say, we purchased an extra one to bring home!!
Cara and staff are Always great and the food is exceptional!!!
Julian lures you in with their famed pies, but the hidden gem of this cafe is that they have the best cinnamon rolls you’ll ever try. They’re fresh, huge, and perfectly not-too-sweet. The breakfast plates are great (western style—big portions). Get there early, especially on weekends, to avoid a long wait for a table.
