    Turkey and Cheese Bagel
    Tim B.

    Very mediocre food. My turkey bagel had plenty of turkey which was nice but I feel like it should have lettuce, tomato, or something else fresh. Someone who got the avocado toast said the avocado had barely any taste. Definitely not worth it. The staff was very nice though, no issues there. The place had a strange decor. They had a thin blue line on the door and calling them Jesus freaks would be an understatement.

    This place is everything a family-run business should be. It's small, the owner is involved, the employees look happy, and they clearly have regular customers whose names they know. And I observed all this during just one random visit on my way to Alpine. Cleveland Cafe was a breath of fresh air in an unfamiliar place. My husband and I were just looking for something quick on our way to Alpine, and this was just what we wanted. We ordered from the counter and our food was ready in like 10-15 minutes. They have a pretty extensive collection of drinks. I'm kind of sorry I didn't try one. But the sandwiches we ordered were really tasty. I had the turkey panini. You can choose your cheese and a sauce for the side. I had provolone and the pesto sauce which is kind of a creamy mayo or ranch style sauce with pesto mixed in. It also comes with a pickle and chips. Really enjoyed that sandwich. Yum! We sat for a bit and ate while Puss in Boots was playing on the TV. Just a cute, cozy experience overall. I left full and happy.

    Yes please! Coconut flavored mocha for me... With almond milk and extra whip cream. What I like the most about this place was the cheery cafe vinevibe when I walked in. And the lady behind the counter greeted me with smiles and asked if it was my first time, as I perused their vast menu of specialty coffee drinks and crepes etc. It was a great pitstop before my daughters softball game and I will be back whenever I'm in the area!

    So adorable! We walked in and were immediately welcomed by a lovely young lady, Mandy. She was friendly and knowledgeable...made suggestions. The paninis and crepes are wonderful and delicious and organic! Pleasant environment.

    5 stars doesn't even begin to cut it! Cleveland Cafe in Alpine is truly a gem, and under Shawn's new ownership, it's blossomed into the kind of place you want to be every day. The staff is always so kind, cheerful, and genuinely welcoming -- it feels like a little burst of sunshine every time I walk in. The drinks? Absolute heaven in a cup. Shawn has brought such a fresh, charming vibe to the space, with thoughtful touches that make it feel more community-focused and delightfully hip. My favorite new feature is the Coffee Special of the Week -- it's like a mini adventure with every visit! And don't even get me started on the pistachio crepe... it's out of this world. Thank you, Shawn and the amazing team at Cleveland Cafe -- it's honestly dangerous how close I live to you all!

    I've been a regular here since moving to Alpine. I absolutely love the people here and the their amazing coffee. It's always super consistent and the employees here are always in a good vibe. Note: There is ample parking on north side of the building across from Ayres Lodge.

    Must visit! When you visit Julian, you definitely need to make this your first or last stop! Julian…read morePie Company has so many different things to offer, you will definitely find something you absolutely need! We already got our pie fix at Mom's, but made this our last stop before heading out. It was so cold out, a super chilly day, there's nothing more perfect than to grab a hot cup of steaming Apple Cider! It hit the spot! I couldn't stop just standing there sipping my hot cider while waiting for our to go items to be prepared. We got two apple cider donuts, one cinnamon sugar and one chocolate dipped. Long ago, I tried these tiny heart shaped pie crust cookies covered in cinnamon and sugar - Apple Memories! These are crisp tiny bites of love that you want to take home every single time! There are actually two buildings. One where you can grab a bite to eat, the other has all the merchandise, and both have whole frozen pies to grab to go! The building where you can dine has a small inside dining area, it can get cozy in there, but on a chilly day, that is exactly what you want! Just outside there is plenty of room outdoors to enjoy the scenery. In the merchandise building I couldn't help myself... we took home a whole gallon of apple cider, and also bought a jar of Cinnamon Apple Honey Spread and a jar of Apple butter... absolute yum! The hubs also decided to try the apple cinnamon chapstick! Yes, you can grab one of these famous pies at many different establishments throughout San Diego. To make name a few, Iowa Farms, Spring Valley Market, Siesel's and even at Vons! But if you're in Julian, don't forget to try a pie, grab some Apple Memories, and don't forget to bring a hot thermos to take that hot Apple cider to go! Enjoy!!! Simply the Best!

    Place is rather very small inside. Probably at least 10-12 seats, very very small booth spaces…read more Tons of seating outdoors, which is great when it's not cold. Had the Dutch Apple pie, because I wanted something sweeter. It was very good, and served slightly warm. The crumbles on top added the bit of crunch with the soft gooeyness of the apple pie filling, The small scoop of ice cream covered it all, but I had to scoop the ice cream off to eat the pie.

    Hands down the best pie I've ever had was from CA mountain bakery. I've never had boysenberry apple…read morepie (I never knew I liked boysenberry) but my friend wanted to try it so I ordered a frozen pie to go and we all loved it and agreed it's the best we've had. Even a frozen pie that I cooked at home was amazing, Of course when I was there to pick up the to go pie, we decided to try their breakfast sandwich and apple pie with cinnamon ice cream...everything was so good. Oh and I did order frozen pot pies to eat at home and I really enjoyed it as well. I know Julian may not be a place many of you thought of checking out but this place alone makes ir worth the drive. The small town of Julian is adorable and I highly recommend you go at some point. They are known for apple everything ~ cider, etc.,

    I found my favorite pie shop…read more I heard that California Mountain Bakery is the best pie shop in California so me and one other person had to put it to the test. We made the drive out to grab one of their pies to bring back and try. I was impressed they had 8 different types of pies the day we came. The staff was really nice and answered all our questions. We ended up getting their Summerberry Apple pie which was an apple pie with all sorts of berries in it. It was absolutely insanely delicious. It was perfectly sweeten, had the perfect filling to crust ratio, and the crumble on top was heavenly. It was a hit with our friends back home and highly addicting. I recommend it. Besides their popular pies they also had cinnamon buns, cookies, sweet and savory pastries. I did also get a blueberry scone which was alright but I probably wouldn't get again. California Mountain Bakery also has a full food menu which carries items like sandwiches. The restaurant is pretty large. You order at the register and they'll call you when its ready. There's a whole dining area inside and out. I would most definitely be back and highly recommend them.
