So good! Quiche, egg pockets, muffins, pizza, bagels, sandwiches. Love supporting them! Quick service.

Good pizza. Friendly and fast service. Nothing better than grabbing a slice sitting outside and gazing at the mountains. I Borrego springs.

It's a small shop but they have a large variety of foods and drinks here. We tried their pizza (sausage, pepperoni, and onion) and it was very, very good. Lots of toppings, good buttery crust, good flavor all around. I would say, just a tad more sauce would have put it over the top. We also tried some of their cookies which looked and tasted very homemade. There are very few restaurants in Borrego so it's nice to find ones that stand out. I would definitely return.

Tasty Pizza but prices have doubled for the toppings.

Revisited 10/27/2021 After reopening with new owners I had to check it out. I've always enjoyed the pizza here and wanted to see if it was still good. Martha, Mario and their son are the new owners and have fixed the place up really nice. Fresh paint a wonderful fresh new menu and a very nice patio setting out front for seating. Sadly the prices have gone up from what they used to be but that's to be expected after COVID-19. Service was excellent very friendly very helpful. They still have some bugs to work out I'm sure the place will improve with them doing a great job. I ordered their supreme pizza. Definitely a bit pricey at $24.00 for a large 14in pizza. The ingredients were fresh and delicious and overall the pizza had a fantastic flavor. Unfortunately on this day the pizza dough was a bit tough that is the reason I had to give them only 3 stars. But as I said the pizza was delicious and I will definitely come try them again and hopefully the pizza dough won't be quite so chewy So that I can upgrade them to four stars instead of three. As they work out the bugs from just re-opening with new owners I expect this place will improve to 4 or 5 stars. Can't wait to try their meat eaters Pizza next round.

Amazing BBQ, Great Food, and Small-Town Charm! Excellent service and greeted with warm welcome!…read more My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Julian Beer Company! We enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich, half a rack of ribs, mac and cheese, and some refreshing watermelon. Everything made for a delicious and satisfying meal! What makes this place even more special is the cool atmosphere and charming small-town vibe. Julian is rich in history, and visiting Julian Beer Company is a great way to enjoy the local character while having some amazing BBQ. Whether you're visiting Julian for a weekend getaway, exploring the historic town, or simply craving delicious comfort food, this is definitely a spot worth checking out! My wife and I had a great time, and we highly recommend Julian Beer Company to anyone visiting the area. Great food, relaxed vibes, and a memorable experience!

I can't imagine how they handle a full house. We ordered four pizzas with two toddlers in tow and were quoted 30 minutes. At 40 minutes, we were told two were ready and two were still in the oven. Another 25 minutes passed before a third came out. The staff then seemed annoyed that we kept waiting at the front, which a phone order would have easily avoided. The fourth pizza finally arrived after 1 hour 20 minutes, and our kids were exhausted. Finally got our pizzas 3 cold and one hot! The pizza itself was just okay, with crusts that were hard across the board. The staff seemed unsure how to run the kitchen, overloaded the oven, and one worker burned his hand. The team wasn't particularly friendly either. Would not recommend.

We were not disappointed at all. Upon arriving, there was a musician playing, and they did seat us off to the right so we could not see but could hear still. There is outdoor and indoor seating, but at the time we came it appeared that the outdoor was reserved for an event. We happily sat inside! Having met Jeremy's parents earlier in the day who also recommended his restaurant, and they were just lovely, we had hoped to possibly meet Jeremy too. I wanted to try everything, but we opt on getting a few dishes to share. Our son ordered the filet mignon and they were able to substitute mashed potatoes for fries. Amazing!! The mac & brisket appetizer appeared to be the highlight and specialty and we just had to order it. Every bite was cheeesy and delicious with the brisket very moist. We couldn't go without ordering the Brussels sprouts and it had a twist with ponzu sauce and pineapple. Definitely a different take and I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Every bite was foodgasmic and I highly recommend!!! I knew coming here that some Yelpers have experienced wavering in quality, so glad we did not experience that at all. As of the date that we came, we understood that the restaurant had been listed for sale, not sure if Jeremy sold it yet or not. I hope not, we plan on coming back this summer!
