    Roasted pepper and burrata sandwich on focaccia
    Dan R.

    "Julian is out there looking at locations, Arthur's on the picket line winding up the nation" (The Kinks) Check out Julien's website and you'll see their Mission Statement ain't playing around - "Julien's is a garden gourmet-style farm store + bakery producing artisanal, handmade breads, sandwiches, cakes, pastries, and other provisions, using traditional baking techniques. Everything is made from scratch on-site." That sets the bar pretty high, don't you think? Julien's is open daily from 7:00am to 3:00pm, so you'll see breakfast things and sandwiches on their menu. Think egg sandwiches, quiche, avocado toast, pancakes, French Toast, club/deli/specialty sandwiches, soup and salads. Plus, they sell great looking breads and pastries. When you walk in, you'll see a big open area with the ordering counter and grab and go refrigerated cases. On your left will be a big dining room with plenty of tables and seats. I was intrigued by one of their sandwiches and picked up a Roasted Pepper sandwich ($15) -- "roasted red peppers, mozzarella, burrata, pistachio, arugula, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar on focaccia". It was a mighty portioned flavor bomb on terrific focaccia bread. Julien's is a welcome addition to Granby's Geissler Plaza.

    New store!
    Rusty O.

    Upscale, Bougie, Pricey Yep, that would be three words I use to describe Julien's! This new storefront just opened in Granby, creating a buzz around the surrounding communities. The original farm store is still open a little west of this location. I went out on this Friday morning early, arriving just after the store 7am opening. The display cases were stocked full with many many choices, including breads, croissants, danish, coffee cakes, donuts, cinnamon rolls, along with the fancy coffees and lattes To the left of the showcases and ordering area is a gorgeous sitting room. The staff was helpful and accommodating, taking my order. But when I was paying for the pastries, she just walked away... Not even a smile or thank you. That was kind of strange. I ordered two cinnamon rolls, two blueberry coffee cakes, and two regular coffee cakes. The cost for all six of these with the little tip, came to $58+. This amount made me think I was on Madison Avenue in New York City. Yes, this kind of hit the pocket hard. When I got home, and upon opening the box, I was expecting these flavors and smells to just smack me right in the face. That didn't happen... I smelled oil... Like stale deep fried oil and I don't know why, maybe it was the box. I first tried the cinnamon roll with cream and it was meh. Was it $6 - $10 good? No. The cinnamon roll outer part was stale and deep brown, overcooked. The pastry just didn't taste fresh. But I liked the cream topping that accompanied the cinnamon roll. That was really good. Now I know I'm gonna hear that they were just recently baked, but I don't care. The cinnamon roll was stale on the outside! For what this was, and all the hype, disappointing. The blueberry coffee cake was interesting. It didn't smell like coffee cake. It smelled more like used cooking oil. Biting into it, the blueberry on top candied, stuck on my teeth, and it was inedible. I had to kind of pick through my napkin, and get the crunchy hard inedible candied part out. It also seemed like the cinnamon brown sugar topping was lacking. The blueberry that made it into the coffee cake was OK. Dense, and just ok. The regular coffee cake was very dense, and that was also a little stale around the outside. There was not a lot of brown sugar and cinnamon topping on it. It wasn't very sweet at all. This pastry was just OK also Now I know what you're thinking... How can this guy eat three of these pastries for breakfast... great question but I sampled these pastries with three of my neighbors. We cut the three different pastries into fours. My three neighbors all felt the same way as I did. All three liked the cinnamon roll the best. The coffee cakes, they stated were just mediocre, very dense, and lacking flavor As good as this place may appear to be, I would say certain occasions it would be a worthwhile visit, a once a year treat.....maybe This by no means is to bash this establishment, but geez, this is a little pricey for the average family with just par quality of the pastries I really was expecting to be blown away by the quality of the pastries. Instead, I'm disappointed with Julien's

    I finally got to try Julian's new bakery location. Walking in is where the baked goods are showcased, and where you order. To the left is a bright and very inviting seating area. I ordered the Blueberry Pancakes,almond pancakes,maple syrup, blueberry jam, topped with whipped mascarpone. The pancakes were light on the inside, nice and crispy on the outside. The whipped mascarpone was a nice touch and delicious, but the overall meal was too sweet for my liking. My wife ordered the Today's Quiche. The quiche was made with onions and bacon, and came with a seasonal greens salad. The small piece of quiche was very creamy with little bacon and no onions in it. Our coffees were delicious and the service was quick. I also got a Nutella doughnut to go. The doughnut was delicious, and packed with filling. I found this bakery to be pricey, and the breakfast items to be disappointing. Coffee and bakery items were much better.

    So so good! Nice little local spot with fresh ingredients. There pastry's are amazing - such good quality and yummy. We enjoyed breakfast sandwiches, chocolate pastry, coffee, and cinnamon bun. Overall strongly recommend

    Julien's is open and I've never been more excited -- what a wonderful addition to the town! The ambience is absolutely dreamy, making it the perfect spot to slow down and treat yourself. I ordered the Boston Cream and the passion fruit donut, and my goodness, they were fantastic. The Boston Cream had a dark chocolate dip that I truly thought I wouldn't like, but it ended up being the best Boston Cream I've ever had. The slight bitterness of the dark chocolate paired perfectly with the sweet, creamy filling -- the balance was superb. Then I tried the passion fruit donut, and let's just say I cannot wait to go back. It has officially become my favorite donut of all time. I even told my fiancé that if he ever wants to surprise me with a pick-me-up, that's the one I'll be dreaming about. The tart passion fruit combined with the soft, pillowy texture of the donut is pure perfection -- it feels like heaven in every bite.

    Amazing breakfast items and pastries. I was fortunate enough to get to Julien's right when they opened. About 30 minutes later, the line was out the door. The croque madame is the perfect breakfast to start the day, especially before a hike. You can either order to go or eat in the store. There is plenty of community style seating.

    Garden potatoes- I shared. You get alot though for the price. Fresh and very good

    I got the Julien's Breakie and it was delicious but highly recommend asking for sriracha mayo for it. They brought out the wrong breakfast at first but went back and got mine. The atmosphere is nice and we love to sit by the wall. The chairs in the middle are way too hard and loud when moved out.

    Cappuccino
    Lorraine G.

    First time here and it won't be the last. New in the Granby Bank Street food scene, Julien delivers like a superstar. Urban industrial vibe where the tables and chairs fit together like a perfected puzzle. Simple lines defy food presented at the height of excellence. Chose the cappuccino and almond croissant since it was a little past lunchtime. Layers of flaky goodness meets its match with pure almond cream indulgence. All super delicious.

    Sweet danish

    A beautiful new location and a wonderful new addition to the Julien's Farm Store family. The food was amazing as to be expected with some of the fluffiest and well baked pastries and the absolute best and impeccable French toast I've had. Service was great especially for a first day opening, everyone really seemed invested in making sure the opening went without a hitch and that every guest felt catered to. I can't wait to come back again.

    Have been going to Julien's farm store for a while now and was so excited to hear he was opening another location. Went here recently on the morning of my birthday on a weekday and loved everything we had! The service was quick and friendly, the interior design simple but warm and welcoming. We took some pastries home but dined in and enjoyed the blueberry pancakes and croque madame. Both were yummy but I LOVED the croque madame. It was so tasty and the side salad it came with was delish- just lettuce and fennel with a light dressing- it hit the spot. We had maple lattes with our meal. Julien's has always been consistently delicious and friendly and I know we will be going back very soon.

I had just seen Donut Dip pop up in an online article as the best donut place in Massachusetts and so I had to stop. Donut Dip is an old school donut shop, a large selection of a wide variety of flavors are on display. The short line moved quickly and I ordered an Apple Fritter and a Chocolate topped custard stick for the road. The price was a bit higher than I expected but the donuts were big and looked great and I wanted some food for the road so I didn't have to stop. The Apple Fritter was good, however it seemed to be a bit light on actual apple piece and while tasty it just wasn't anything special. The Custard stick was excellent, the custard was rich and luscious which nicely balanced the perfectly fried donut, the topping was thick and chocolaty giving the donut an old school feel. Although I didn't have a long visit I would say that overall Donut Dip has very good to great donuts. The shop feels classic and if I was nearby I would love to try some of the other flavors. Well worth a stop to check them out.

I informed her that I'd need a few minutes as this was our first time. She gave us a run down of what they offered and said that they can essentially make any custom drinks you desire! She was very kind and gave us some time to decide what to get. I love a good strawberry matcha so I gave that one a shot and my fiancé had to judge their brown sugar boba. We also went with half a dozen of their mochi donuts to try. It was a gamble as we came around 2pm and slightly worried that they were going to turn out stale (bad experience from another store where they were in fact, so stale). She was the only one working so I sparked some conversation as she made our drinks. This shop is a little over a year old so I am glad it's still thriving! Our drinks quickly came out and were pretty tasty. The strawberries in my matcha had pieces of strawberry in the syrup and wasn't too overly sweet. Pretty refreshing! My fiancé's brown sugar was also on the less sweet side which I can appreciate. The boba wasn't the best, as it wasn't quite chewy.. our teeth just sank into them with not much to chew afterwards. Now, based on the yelp reviews, it doesn't seem like they change out the flavors of mochi donuts. There were probably around 8 different flavors. To my surprised, they were still so soft and fluffy!! The outside wasn't too crisp as it probably sat a bit, but they were not stale at all. We had some the day after as well, and they were still so so soft and fluffy! The flavors were pretty light and not too overpowering. I am just pretty satisfied with the texture of the donuts. Overall, the owner was so sweet and kind and offered great treats. I will gladly return in the future to try other things!

They're always fresh and very good size. It looks like any typical donut shop that you've been to. Nothing really stands out except that really intense smell of FRESHNESS. So good in the air. Three service is also always great. They're so kind and genuine here. Always great hospitality and very nice people serving you. They have some deal that they sell you the donuts at a discounted rate after like 5 or 6 o'clock . Something like that. I was so surprised that they offer this. I still remember the first time here when they told me about that and I took advantage of it and bought more than I originally planned on getting. I think it's a great concept I've never encountered elsewhere and think more donut places should adopt their truly great concept. Makes sense instead of throwing donuts away at the end of the day. Almost forgot to mention their coffee. It's so good for just a donut shop. It has such rich full body taste. Such a great place to frequent. Love you people here :-)

They planted it this way so people can reach it when the fruits are ready to be picked, genius idea. They also grow peaches, plums, nectarines, blueberries, various vegetables, and Asian pears. We went in September for apple picking. The parking lot was spacious, a nice farm stand, a patio area, and a picnic area. This year, apple picking started on 8/31/2024 and ends in late October. You have to check in at the window to purchase a ticket; they give you a bag and ticket for a tractor ride to the apple orchard. The farm stand has donuts, ice cream, cider, slushie, and a cafe. The tractor ride was fun; you can buy a ticket just for the tractor ride alone for $5 or $18 for a bag and tractor ride. We waited about 30 minutes for the tractor; it was the last tractor ride of the day and it was a busy Saturday. We went late in the season so most of the apples were picked over. We were able to get a bag full though. The property was amazing and the view of the hills from the orchard was lovely. After, we sat at the picnic table area and which had fire pits too. They had toys for the kids and there was live music. We tried out their hard cider (4-pack $24) and it was good. Overall, it's a fun place to do a fall festivitiy.

So I turned the Yelp started looking at donuts spots. When perusing I saw this place had a blueberry filled doughnut, which I wanted myself. So I chose this place and it's cool cause they have a drive-through and I know that's nothing special when you're going to chain places. Most places that are not chains do not have drive-through. The blueberry diet was awesome. I got a coffee for myself and a bagel with veggie cream cheese. The bagel wasn't bad but it didn't blow me away like the blueberry doughnut. Then I got a dozen donuts and like a coffee party box that came with a ton of sugar and milk and everything you could need for a coffee station. It was a hit with the crew. My only complaint was the car that I had was a rental and it was kind of shorter so when handing the box out to me, the donut box almost spilled, and then the box with the coffee and all the accoutrements started to rip.
