    Julian is famous for apple pie, apple orchard, cider and honey. I love this store and i always purchase their cider maple and pure honey! Its good quality! Today they were super crowded and it was hard to walk inside the store! The staff as always were so welcoming and friendly and did their best...

    Really cool store with TONS of snacks (nuts, candies, etc.), honey, jams, etc. and great cider! I was overwhelmed by the amount of different food items they had on the store. There were so many things that sounded good, but I ended up just getting a bag of plantain chips that were tasty. We did try samples of the boysenberry and cherry ciders and they were sweet and delicious! I don't know that I could drink a full serving of it due to the sweetness though. The store is fairly small, but jam packed with merchandise. Something to note is that they have a $5 minimum for credit cards, and take cash!

    I just love stopping into this store. Been coming here since I was a small child and realized their candy sticks were the cheapest in town, so I could purchase myself and share with school friends! lol This store is definitely a staple in this small historical town. It can get really REALLY busy during the holidays, so be ready to be patient and shop the candy and snacks when you are in line. This town was not this busy when I was a kid 30 years ago and the buildings are small and historical landmarks! Their cider is absolutely delicious and I usually grab some chocolates, salty snacks, specialty holiday candy, etc. Weekends and holidays they run out of their classic cider fast! I usually bring a cooler and put my cider and Mom's pie in the car at the beginning of the day!

    I am usually not a cider person and don't really drink anything else besides tea and water. My friends encouraged me to try the cider and I am so glad I did because it was SO DELICIOUS! I've never had anything like it. It was also a really cold day, so this hot drink was so perfect. It wasn't too sweet and tasted so fresh and homemade. I would recommend if you like cider because this will blow you away! The store was also really cute inside and super crowded.

    Food 5/5. Review is based on the peanut butter pretzel chocolate and dried pineapple chamoy is so good and a must try! I'm not big on apple cider so I didn't get one. Service 4/5. There seems to be just two workers this day that can used some improvement with acknowledging customers. Ambiance 4/5. It was okay. The staff and other customers were more to themselves. Parking can be tricky. Went here on a Monday and the streets were a bit full. It was a bit pricey here especially with their non food merch

    I feel betrayed by all the good reviews for the apple cider because this was the worst one I tried in Julian. My friend and I each had a cup of the Boysenberry Apple Cider and both threw it out after a few sips. It tasted like straight Icee syrup. I kept trying to detect any kind of apple flavoring but the artificial ambiguous fruit flavoring was too strong. I was disappointed because I held back from buying a gallon of cider from the Julian Pie Company in hopes that the Julian Cider Mill's version would be better. We ended up going back and waiting another hour at Julian's Pie Company to get cider there. The shop is charming and has a great selection of teas, jams, pickled vegetables, dried goods, and candy. I would've liked to spend more time browsing, but the store was jam-packed with customers and was difficult to move around in. The store had a pop-up table serving apple cider outside with a long line, but the line for cider inside was non-existent. The employees we interacted with were efficient. It was peak apple season when we went, so it was very difficult to find street parking. It's a cute store, but the apple cider was a huge letdown, especially from a place with "Cider Mill" in its name.

    I placed an online order for the first time. The lady on the phone was so friendly and understood my cravings for must have items. Normally, I stop in as I'm driving through Julian, because it's so inviting and warm inside. Anyway, I got the angel food candy. Marshmallow and nuts wrapped in a chocolate robe. Put it in the fridge before eating, btw. The chocolate gets nice and crunchy and the marshmallow filling is just right. My other craving was the sweet crunchy baby corn. It's jarred in a great syrup and has pieces of red pepper and garlic. I just stand at the island in the kitchen with a fork and shovel those babies in. So good. This place is a must stop if you are traveling through Julian, CA.

    Delicious snacks, fresh popcorn, all times of honey and also many types of grains for soups. Great store with all kinds of yummy things to treat yourself and bring some gifts to others (my favorite the miners chocolate rocks, amazing and pretty). Lots of locally made items. It is usually super crowded so not a place to browse taking your time.

    Boysenberry Apple Cider Yum! This little cider mill shop has these two running tanks of boysenberry and cherry apple cider. They let you have a sample of both before you buy, which is great because I dont think I normally would have chosen boysenberry, but this was great! Refreshing and sweet and super affordable.

    Arpita G.

    First time here and loved the cute ambience of the shop! Tons of homemade goods and super friendly customer service. I sampled both the ciders and went with the boysenberry, it has a unique fresh tart flavor that was wonderful.

    Awesome home made chocolate. The checkout lady was very helpful and friendly. It had an amazing selection, and an old town feel.

    Son is stationed in the navy at Coranado. He has some honey habanero bbq sauce that he says is the best. Where can I purchase it online?

    They don't sell it online.

I appreciated the nostalgic candies, glass case with chocolate dipped cookies, fruit, etc. The $3 marshmallow wands came as either milk or dark and rivaled the $8 Disneyland ones. Both were delicious! I didn't get the baklava but they looked delicious & well crafted. Staff was helpful but I knew my faves. I got pre-bagged Dr Pepper Jelly Bellys and the by the pound Green apple and Very cherry since they didn't come in bags. The buy the pound were unfortunately quite stale but the flavor was still there. Bummer, I spent so much(!) Definitely take a look around, they have import Japanese gummis, the trending Peeling gummis, gifts and knickknacks from Archie McPhee like finger hands IYKYK. It was hard to maneuver with so many customers shopping but manageable. Great sugary energy & vibe! Haha Connected to the candy shop is the ice cream parlor with giant waffle cones. Yum!

Right off the bat, here's what I loved about this day: Big parking lot Dog friendly Live music A small‑business market Food We came on a weekend in October, so definitely check their website to see what events are happening when you go. Admission is free, but you do pay for parking. You can easily spend a whole day here, so I recommend bringing comfortable shoes, a hat, sunscreen, water, and even a blanket or chair. We arrived during a live band set, but seating was limited -- still such a fun vibe. You can also go in and out if you need to grab something from your car. They were grilling up backyard‑style burgers with sides, and it honestly felt like being at a neighborhood BBQ -- grab your drink from the cooler, pick your chips, add your toppings, and enjoy. I loved it. The pumpkin patch is huge and has every type of pumpkin you can imagine. I'd never seen white or black gourds before, but they had them here. There's a lot to walk around and explore, and make sure to stop by the farm shop for packaged nuts, seasonings, honey, and other goodies to take home. My pup Enzo had the best time -- enjoy these pics of him living his best fall life.
