Came in for Sunday Brunch at 1:30 we were able to sit at the bar within 15 minutes. Great service and very friendly staff. Started off with the Apple fennel salad and toasted goat so yummy but I am partial to goat cheese. We then moved on to the arepas con huevos and the pigs in a pillow, both were yummy but I'd lean more towards the pillows next time. Would definitely come back! read more

Lovely experience! A bit of a wait but the food all tasted very fresh! The drinks were tasty as well. I'd love to go back try more things on the menu u. read more

The place itself is nice and cozy. It's not your average brunch place. The menu has cool and delicious items like the goat cheese toast and arepas con huevos (that's what we had). The buttermilk biscuit was just perfection. For tea, we had the London Fog (basically an Earl Grey latte). Nice to have something different than just chai latte. Good service. Food came relatively fast. I will definitely come back again to try other things. We came at 10a on a Sunday when it opened. It definitely got busy at 11a so come early to guarantee seating. read more

Confused by all the great comments. JUST ok. A place to grab a sandwich that wasn't more then a glorified coffee shop. Nothing special, didn't understand the appeal. I had a buffalo chicken sandwich which was chopped chicken in hot sauce and blue cheese dressing. It wasn't bad but it was mid at best and had no redeeming qualities to go back for. read more

Really yummy brunch! They were quite busy on a rainy Sunday lunch. The chilaquiles and arepas were both really good dishes. The corn in the arepas was really sweet and contrasted well with the other flavors. We also added the spicy pork, which was pretty mild but definitely added to the dish. Would recommend both! The waffle got a bit soggy as it was served with syrup already served on it. Service was a little slow because it was busy but the food came out decently fast read more

Admittedly, not a brunch fan. This place almost convinced me to think otherwise but didn't accomplish it. Service was super friendly and attentive. It's a fairly small place so recommend getting a reservation. We got two sandwiches: the Cubabinsh and the golden lox. The Cubanish was meh, I have to say I missed having the ham that a Cuban these usually come with but the pork was delightful. The bread was nicely toasted. I get why this is such a must here. I was actually quite surprised by the lox sandwich. This roll was perfectly tailored to this sandwich. I wish the spread was a bit more evenly distributed. We got the greens and the potato salad for sides, neither of which added much. However, we also grabbed the potatas brava, which was absolutely a scene stealer. The price is on the higher end for brunch (maybe not for the area but $20 for a lox sandwich is... a bit much). The menu beyond these two things wasn't the most interesting so we probably don't need to come back but it was worth it for this combination of things. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday at 1 PM and got seated at the bar immediately. Split a big brie and bacon sandwich and a Cuban sandwich along with the patatas bravas. Everything was super delicious. The food came out very quickly. The side salad came with was nothing amazing as well as the chips that came with the other sandwich. The space is very cute and they have cocktails, coffee drinks and tea. read more

Julia's is a cozy neighborhood spot where no reservations are needed--just walk in. Be prepared for longer wait times during weekend brunch. A personal favorite is the Toasted Goat, a deliciously simple sandwich featuring toasted sourdough topped with goat cheese, fig jam, bacon, and honey--a perfect combination of flavors. read more

Doesn't look like much on the outside but the food here is fantastic! Not a lot of seating, but worth it to hang around. Everything on the menu looks great and I got to try something new; an iced Earl Grey known as a London Fog. Delish! Really cute and cozy spot. read more

It's honestly incredible that Julia's has not only maintained its excellence for a decade, but has continued to grow, evolve, and improve on the form consistently. This place has the most charming staff, excellent decor, and tastiest menu for super fair prices in this neighborhood. I try to grab a drink/bite here anytime I have a spare moment. The owners are incredibly welcoming and the atmosphere is just sublime. read more

I came to Julia's for brunch with my husband, sister-in-law, and mom, and we had such a delicious breakfast! The food was fantastic -- fresh, flavorful, and satisfying -- and the blood orange mimosas were a definite highlight. What really stood out to me was the ambiance. Julia's beautifully maintains that authentic Ridgewood feel I've known and loved all my life, while also adding a fresh, airy, and cute vibe. It's bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed -- the kind of place you want to linger in and enjoy good company. As someone who's lived in Ridgewood all my life, I really appreciate that they honored the neighborhood's character while creating something new. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Was in the area for another event and was told to eat something before showing up. I didn't have cash on me, so I decided to check this place out. Hope they accept credit cards, they do! Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Very cute place and very comfortable. Checked out the menu and ordered a cubanish sandwich to eat in. I asked if I could grab a jacket and come back, no problem. Came back and I took a seat at an empty table (since there are several tables). Got a bottle of water and my cubanish sandwich was delivered. The sandwich was delicious and hit the spot. If you are in the neighborhood, definitely check this place out. read more

Love loved this small hidden gem. Would highly recommend to try. It is a tiny place so I'm sure it can get busy. Cutest bar at the entrance. It has a cozy vibe. Food was so flavorful and delicious. Must try the loaded bravas and toasted goat - top top fav !! But everything we ordered was delicious as well . Nachos and arepas also so so good ! Cocktails were so delicious and refreshing. We ordered the lavender gimlet, the last monk, guava pisco sour, bourbons bees knees . Great neighborhood restaurant. read more

I went here with a friend after having no luck at Rolo's since we didn't make reservations but were pleasantly surprised here. First and foremost, our server Selena was absolutely wonderful and a gem of a person so hats off to her for being so patient and lovely. Second, this has to be one of the most reasonably priced drinks menus I've seen and the drinks are solid as well. Third, the food is great too. We ordered the nachos and arepas to share and both were fresh and tasty. All in all, no complaints here and a great place to visit if you're in the area. read more

My new favorite place for breakfast/brunch: Julia's. We've gone two weeks in a row and the food, ambiance, and service are all stellar. The arepas con huevos are out of this world good. Perfectly cooked eggs, delicious arepas with corn and mozzarella, and a refreshingly light salad to accompany it. We also got the Old standby which was a perfect breakfast. Super thick crispy bacon with eggs however you like them as well as seasoned potatoes and sourdough toast with olive oil. Seriously, the food is delicious. The service is also really attentive and friendly. Everyone looks like they are enjoying what they are doing and really care about your experience. Also their regular coffee is insanely good. Must try!! read more

Wow, wow, wow! I haven't been this excited about a restaurant in a long time. Straight away there were water carafes and cups on the table. This was huge in our books considering the heat wave. The crab / spinach and artichoke dip was hands down one of my favorite apps: flavorful, and plenty of bread for the whole dish, which is oddly rare. 10/10s across the board for our meals, the ambiance, and the service! I can't wait to come back. read more

Its a cute place and the food was very tasty. London Fogs (Earl Grey with Steamed milk) were delicious and the waiter was friendly and let us linger for a long time. read more

Not sure how I feel about the food. They weren't bad but definitely underwhelming and did not meet up to my expectations. Especially with the pricing, not justifiable. Nice interior, food did take a bit long to come out but that's totally understandable. I don't think I'll be coming back for sure. read more

Terrible Experience, Won't Be Coming Back I don't usually write these things, but I felt I had to after my visit to this so-called restaurant. I'm a man of simple tastes, you know. A good meal should be just that--good. Not complicated or trying to impress with fancy words and dry food. First off, the music. It's too quiet. They've got it so low that you can't even hear it properly, but it's still enough to be distracting. Makes the whole place feel awkward--like they can't decide whether they want it to be quiet or not. Back in my day, we didn't need music to enjoy a meal. A little peace and quiet, that's all you need. Now, the food. I ordered the Cubanish. It came out dry as a bone. No flavor, no moisture, just like chewing on cardboard. I had to chase it down with water just to get it down.I don't know who thought this was a good idea, but it sure wasn't me. If you're looking for a decent meal, don't bother coming here. I'll be sticking to my usual diner from now on. At least there, they know how to cook food that's worth eating. Stay away from this place, folks. read more

I feel bad giving this place 3 stars because the waitress was so friendly but there were a lot of mistakes made. First, they lied twice to us about the AC situation. We kept asking if the AC is on and they kept saying it was but it was so hot because the place was busy. Well, even when everyone left it was deathly hot. And we kept looking at the ac on the window and guess what no light was on and no air was circulating. It was one of the hottest days of the year and we wanted to chill indoors and I just couldn't enjoy myself. Second, my friends food and drinks never came. Her food came way when the rest of us were done. The only thing the waitress was very apologetic and comped us her meal. The food was very good the drinks were very good. Also for people who dislike my review and are sending me nasty messages - I am simply stating my experience yes I feel really bad for the cooks and staff it was really hot. I don't know how they managed. My 3 stars reflect my experience at being told the ac was on when it was not or as the owner clarified was not strong enough and that one of my friends meals was not timely. The food was good the drinks were good and my waitress was very polite and we left a large tip. read more

Great first date spot because it's more bar/ish (food is still great) staff isn't rushing you out and it has a romantic feel. The menu isn't large but still tasty. I would definitely recommend the soup with grilled cheese or pulled pork arepas ! read more

Crystal was an absolute pleasure via checking-in, taking our order(s), and checking in. Julia's is a gem of a breakfast or brunch spot in Ridgewood. My go-to is the Julia's Breakfast Sandwich with either sausage or bacon. Of course adding avocado is always a good idea! The Golden Lox is also very refreshing and filling. The side salad's dressing is tangy and always on point as well. We've been adding the loaded bravas potato's which are spicy and delish. The ambiance is incredible with vintage ceiling, full bar, coffee barista, and a very spacious bathroom. This is a dog friendly establishment. Indoor and outdoor sitting is always available. During the weekends there may be a little wait during peak hours (brunch). Also, the Toasted Goat is delicious and we jump between the Golden Lox and that. The Toasted Goat is on the sweeter side...thank you Julia's for always being a 5-Star choice! read more

I love coming to this spot while in Ridgewood. Just an easy, casual solid place without too much fuss.

My friend and I met here for brunch one Sunday afternoon around 1PM and the place was packed. We had to wait around 45 minutes and they call your phone when a table is ready. We sat near the front of the restaurant at one of the tall table sets that I really didn't like. You really have to have a smaller frame to sit comfortably in those seats. Plus we had our coats that made it more challenging to fold on our seats. My friend ordered eggs with sausage, potatoes and side of greens with a glass of mimosa. I had the vegan burger minus the avocado that came with it and chips. I chose the sparkling lemonade. We both enjoyed our meal and the service was quick and staff were very friendly. The vibe was chill but bustling with staff moving around checking on the patrons. I would definitely check this spot out again for some other menu items. read more

Happened upon this place by accident today while out with my husband. And what a happy find it turned out to be! Amazing food. Fantastic service and loved the decor and ambiance! I had the Arepas con Huevos which was delicious and hubby had the Chilaquiles, equally yummy! Super fresh ingredients and you could feel the love in their cooking! Oh, and my Bloody Mary wasn't too shabby either . We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our brunch here today and will be coming back! read more

Absolutely love this place! Came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon & it was really beautiful. We sat ourselves next to the window & they had a v cute assortment of live plants. It did take them a while for them to assist us when we first arrived, we stood at the door for a while but staff is very kind and friendly. What we ordered: Cinnamon Apple waffle -- 12/10 Very soft waffle , so delicious Vegan Harvest Hash -- 9/10 The dressing they coat this with is so yummy! I literally couldn't put my utensils down for a second even to take a drink. We also ordered two of their cocktails. I got the mezcal sour & it was really good! 10/10 My friend got the sparking wine cocktail which was also 10/10 really great! read more

Nice spot for brunch. The service was very good as was the food. We were seated outside immediately on a Saturday morning around around 11. My daughter ordered the mushroom omelette, which had a nice variety of mushrooms and lots of goat cheese. My wife had the arepas, which are fresh corn and scallion cakes topped with eggs, mozzarella and a jalapeño cilantro salsa. These were delicious and the best of our entrees. In ordered the Old Standby, which a standard American breakfast with eggs, potatoes, bacon and toast. It was good but earned my only ding against Julia's - the $1 up charge for scrambled eggs. The waiter said they charge extra because the eggs are scrambled with dairy. I was expecting the eggs to be very fluffy but they weren't. Just plain scrambled eggs and not particular creamy. Not sure what they would have charged if I said I want regular scrambled eggs with no dairy but just kind of silly to charge extra. The service was good and staff and ambience were nice so overall a nice place for brunch with good food. Just don't waste your $1 for scrambled eggs! read more

They were pretty busy for weekend brunch; we went Saturday around noon. Service: The bartender assisted with bringing food to the tables. She was super nice, knew I was waiting for my friend and offered me a jug of water with cups for self-serve. There was a hostess and she was super nice. She was in tune with her customers and brought drinks and food promptly to the table. Now the waitress was another story; she was dressed in all black and seemed to have a chip on her shoulder. Kind of snotty- feel about her. I asked to be seated on the regular tables instead of the bar or high table and she said she would seat us if there was availability but when a table opened, I had to go to her again and she was not proactive to sit us there. Later on, we asked her for extra napkins, and she never brought it. We ended up asking the hostess who was super nice and brought it right away. Service was 4/5 Food: we ordered the arepas, the biscuit, the lox sandwich and mimosas. All were pretty good but prices a little higher. Total bill including tips/tax: $90. Service size was on the smaller side, only gave 1-2 pieces of salmon for $20. 4/5 due to pricing Ambiance: it was a nice relaxed atmosphere, we stayed for a bit after our meals were done and they were getting ready for a private party. We were not rushed to leave until they informed us we could go outside to continue to chat. The outside patio was nice. 5/5 Overall: 4/5, would either have larger serving size or reduce prices by $2. And the waitress needs re-training. read more

Came by myself and got the arepas and patatas. SO good. The cocktails were delicious as well and I want to come back to try more. I loved the little patio outside as well read more

Nice atmosphere, but disappointing food all the way around. Luke warm potatoes, flavorless burger, etc. The burger I had (which the server raved about) had nothing going for it. They need to put some aioli or something on it to at least try to make it palatable. All in all, I'd visit one of the many great places in the neighborhood, and leave this one off your list. read more

Meh. Nothing outstanding about the food or service. In fact, while the potatoes bravas and arepas were okay, the burger (which the server recommended) was about the worst in NY. No toppings, no taste, and very disappointing. None of the food came to the table hot. Perhaps this is a better place for brunch. read more

Most excellent brunch and food and the best part is they have AMAZING Pina Coladas - 10/10 will drink and eat again
