Lovely all day type of cafe close to the main shopping area on Phoenix. Order at the counter and there is ample seating inside, at the front entrance (covered patio), and in the back (patio is two levels and there's also outdoor seating on the ground level). I could see this place getting very busy, but the times I went it wasn't too bad. Friendly staff at the counter. The lady bird sandwich was tasty and I was very full after it! Husband got a breakfast wrap (it comes pre made in foil behind the counter if that would impact your decision on whether to get it). Tasty nonetheless. Also got a cinnamon roll which was good, a bit sweet of course, but something I'd get again to split! Would stop by here again if you're in the area! read more

Very strong coffee! And they have my beloved oat milk. I like a lot of milk so I would make sure to say that up front. And they wrote "oat" on top of mine which made me happy. Relaxed atmosphere. A few tall hightop and regular tables inside and lots of seating outside for nice weather. Also outside are stairs to their rooftop deck with one table that seats ten people. Very cute and fun place. I would totally go back. read more

There was a little bit of a wait, mainly because there are so many options to choose from while you're in line. They had a great variety of salads, sandwiches, desserts, and drinks, so it took us a minute to decide. We ordered the Fiesta Wrap (8/10). It was really good, but I think it could have used a little more seasoning. The salsa definitely helped bring everything together though. We also got the Wise Guy, which was a 10/10. It was filling, made with fresh ingredients, and came with a side of kettle chips that were also really good. For dessert, we got a cookie that was moist, soft, and pulled apart easily. Definitely worth trying. I also ordered a small iced s'mores latte. It tasted more like a mocha than a s'mores latte, but I didn't mind because it was still enjoyable. Even though they seemed pretty busy, the service was efficient and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. Overall, a great spot with fresh food, plenty of options, and good service. I'd definitely come back. read more

Absolutely disrespectful to even say you serve coffee when it tastes like backwash from a war torn billy goat. There's no flavored syrup or anything in my drink (as I ordered) and so the horrifically offensive flavor of the coffee is very forward. Service is friendly and quick. The cafe itself it pretty wholesome with many outdoor seating options. There's a lot of egg on this bagel which is appreciated. read more

Bit of a long wait on the weekend, but delicious pastries! I did try to order a past special drink and it did not go well... :( The turnover of baristas just means that last month's specials are not known by the current employees. Anyway, it's nice to sit on the back patio, and the food part was good! read more

This place has a cute cafe look. There are about 10 tables and a walk up counter. We were there for lunch. The vegan black bean wrap was delicious. It came with a side. I tried the chickpea salad and enjoyed it, but it is a small portion. The wrap is big though! I had the iced black tea which was strong. My daughter enjoyed her avocado toast and matcha latte (not sweet as a side note). We split the oatmeal cookies with marshmallow filling. It was scrumptious! The service was good, too. read more

Cute little spot for sandwiches in the area. We've visited before and this spot can get busy - but you can order ahead for pickup (which I highly recommend). Sandwiches were really delicious. Hot sandwiches were the right amount of gooey (with cheese) and toasted while cold sandwiches had high quality ingredients and just as tasty. I've visited multiple times, everything I tried was just as good as the one before. I don't think we've ever had leftovers! There are also various drinks to buy, pastries, etc. pricing is medium - but worth it for the quality and taste. Staff is extremely friendly - happy to answer questions about the menu. Worth a visit! read more

Super cute little cafe downtown! The atmosphere was great. We took our coffee out to the patio and sat with our dog. The patio was pet friendly and they even had a water bowl for the dogs! They had a pretty big menu with lots of options and a good selection of pastries and sweets. The food was great. I had the sunrise bagel and my husband had a cheese danish. I had a hot butternut latte and he had an iced vanilla latte. The coffee honestly wasn't our favorite but the food definitely made up for it. Overall positive experience. I would come back! read more

Great place! Nice vibe! The fiesta wrap was delicious. Perfect! It was full of flavor !

We came here after going to the maritime museum and all the food was great. It was a wonderful place to stop for a coffee and sandwhiches. There was lots of great seating for both large and small tables. Thank you!!! read more

The ambience was nice, and the staff was very courteous. I ordered an assortment of different cookies to try. The texture is excellent The flavor view something to be desired. It's missing a certain...Je ne sais pas. read more

Don't get the avocado toast, you'd think it would come on sourdough like normal avocado toast, but it's on a regular square piece of bread with a super creamy avocado purée that tasted like baby food. Worst $11 Ive ever spent. Coffee is an 7/10 here though depending on who makes it. read more

Cafe Julia is such a cute little cozy spot. The food is really good and offer delicious looking desserts as well. The line moves quick and the staff is always offering a helping hand. Ps the coffee is good too read more

We have loved walking over to cafe Julia during our stay in South Haven! It's such a nice space with both indoor and outdoor seating. Everyone that works there has been super nice each time we have gone there & they took my dairy allergy super seriously, which I appreciated! Their coffee is great and they have lots of different drink options, which includes a list of seasonal drinks not posted on their website! The coffee is strong, so consider that when ordering. Their food is also good - the NY style bagels are delicious! Highly recommend if you're staying nearby! read more

Super cute place! Came in and was greeted right away. The barista that took my order was knowledgeable on all their drinks and food. The drinks were good and the BLT I had was delicious. The place was clean. Bathroom was clean. Good amount of tables inside for meet ups or studying. I ordered a London Fog, BLT and their granola cookie. The granola cookie was my favorite. It wasn't overly sweet and complimented my tea very well. The BLT was delicious, bacon was perfectly cooked. The bacon had a nice bite and enough chewiness. Most places overcook the bacon and it's too crispy. Would come back to this place again! read more

Wow, I haven't given this place a second look in years but boy was I glad I went in there. We've been back twice for iced coffees and really enjoyed some lovely music and yummy treats. The sandwiches look great too. Definitely recommend you give them a try if you haven't been in there in a while. read more

The shop is cute and the baked goods in the case look amazing (didn't try unfortunately) but the coffees were lukewarm, the caramel macchiato latte was not very sweet, and the Mad Hatter tea latte was bitter and not impressive. The thick layer of steamed milk tasted like just that, steamed milk. read more

Menu looked good HOWEVER, we went on Sunday and the kitchen was closed. Only choices we had were pre-made salads or pastries. Really wanted the BLT. Salad was okay daughter a smoothie which was fantastic! Really wish the kitchen would have been open. read more

We stopped in every morning this week and it was always such a great way to start the day. Incredibly nice people, delicious food and pastries, great drinks. I loved the fresh lemonade and their iced teas. We went to quite a few places in south haven and this was my favorite. Fresh good food! Great atmosphere with several porches and patios. I loved the paintings on the walls as well! read more

I recently used Cafe Julia to cater dessert for thanksgiving. I purposely over ordered so that I would have a stash of frozen GF brownies! These brownies are better than any I have ever eaten! we had cupcakes, GF pumpkin bars, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and cinnamon rolls which we had for breakfast thanksgiving morning. Everything was delicious and the brownie I just took out of the freezer and defrosted was amazing! We eat at Julia's about once a week. The food is fresh and much healthier than you will find at many other restaurants. Service is great and professional. During the summer, we usually order carry-out and experience the same great food at home. read more

I come here a lot, so the food is always good. But this carrot cake is the best thing I've ever had in my life. The staff is always so amazing and nice. And the whole building just feels very homey and calm and beautiful. read more

We came to South Haven for the weekend for a bachelorette party and ending up coming here all 3 days! Everyone in the party enjoyed this place. There are delicious flavored coffees along with so many other options. The last day I bought a red velvet cupcake and wish I had more time to try more of their sweets! I tried the snickers iced coffee which I definitely recommend as my favorite. The staff were all extremely nice. When we came here on Sunday morning, we did have about a 30 minute wait to order and get our drinks but we learned you can order ahead online which would be something to consider for the next time we visit to avoid the long lines. read more

Kind service, delicious breakfast sandwiches. Only knock is they got our order mixed up a little (swapped which sandwich was supposed to be on everything bagel and which should be on plain). Sandwiches were hot and fresh with nice ingredients! Would do 4.5 if I could. read more

Cute little cafe with plenty of outdoor seating both in front and behind the building. Stopped by twice during our stay in South Haven. First time got smoothies and a cupcake. Smoothie tasted a little watered down unfortunately. Cupcake was delicious! Second time, got some iced teas and a gluten free blueberry power cookie. They have a decent sized menu, none of which we ended up trying out. Would recommend stopping by for a quick, easy meal! read more

This place is a must! Get ready for slower, personalized service. When we went there were a lot of people so it took a long time to order and get our food but it was beyond worth it. The employees are so sweet. Then you get your tasty drink and pastry while you wait for your main course. The chocolate cake was the moistest cake I've ever had! Nutella cheesecake was a yummy texture and flavor. The healthier muffins and cookies weren't my favorite but a good option for those who are vegan and/or gluten free. The sandwiches, wraps & soups that everyone got looked so fresh and delicious. I stumbled upon Julia's on yelp and a local friend was so excited we found this place. It's her new spot. Definitely check it out! read more

This a very over priced average quality food. $80 for a family of four to eat lunch with food that wasn't even good. Iced tea not good. Very load when they grind the coffee when you are trying to order. And the request for tip when I cleared my own dishes, nope, get rid of that in your payment screen so everyone feels guilty about tipping for a service they do themselves. read more

best coffee we had in south haven by far. also staff were super friendly, baked goods and sandwiches were yummy. if we didn't find this on the last day of our trip we would have come here every morning for lattes! read more

This happens to be one of the semi fast restaurants we tend to visit when we are in South Haven. It's been a lot of take out and now with their online ordering system it's pretty easy to place your to go order! Recently I ordered the Papa Leo because it was a cold day and I wanted something hot. It even says "warm sandwich" in the description. However I was slightly unimpressed with the temperature in the fact that it wasn't really a warm sandwich. The cheese was melted so it had been hot at some point! The soup was really tasty (although it was not the soup that was on the website and they didn't even tell me this when I went in to get my food). Something Else sandwich- basically a BLT, was delicious according to two people in my family! read more
