A lot of purple decorations (surprise!), but not excessive (purple is my fav color, so take that…read morewith a grain of salt). There were plenty of seating and a long counter space good for folk working on laptops while enjoying their food/drinks. The dining area was open and spacious without being too echo-y. It was just after 9am and the main breakfast places on the main street in town were already crowded with wait times around 15-20 minutes. We wandered a bit down the hill from the main drag (it was really just one block away) and found this cafe tucked away on the side street. After ordering, coffees and breakfast dishes, we found a table and the food was brought to us. The French toast made with banana bread was amazing, what a great idea. The Beyond papas was a great mix of beyond meat, fresh veggies and breakfast potatoes. Both plates were completely emptied.

"I'm kind of a big deal. And unfortunately, so was my disappointment."…read more I recently visited Purple Owl Cafe in Julian, and let me tell you: I walked in expecting breakfast. What I got was an adventure in lowered expectations. First, the item I actually wanted was unavailable. Naturally, I had to choose something else. Was I offered a discount for the inconvenience? No. Was I made happier by being told that the alternative was something they personally like? Also no. That's like ordering a steak and being told, "We're out of steak, but I really enjoy soup." Wonderful. I'm thrilled for you. Then there was the restroom, which appeared to be participating in some sort of minimalist art installation: no toilet paper and no napkins. Bold choice. Very Julian. Then they forgot my drink. I had to get up and go to the counter to retrieve my food, which is certainly one way to introduce a little cardio into the dining experience. And even after all that, part of my order was still forgotten. At this point, I began to wonder if my order had simply been submitted for consideration rather than actually placed. And this is why I regret tipping before receiving the service. I like to believe in people. I like to lead with generosity. But experiences like this make me feel like I've been financially wagering on an outcome that hasn't happened yet. To be clear, I'm not expecting perfection. Things get forgotten. Items sell out. Mistakes happen. But when multiple things go wrong during one visit, I'd expect at least some acknowledgment or consideration--especially when I didn't receive the item I originally ordered. Purple Owl Cafe: I came for coffee and breakfast. I left with a story. Unfortunately, it wasn't a very good one. And that's the bottom line, because I said so.
