Bumbleberry pie (slice w/ crumble crust)
Christine Z.

We stopped by Mom's Pie House after a weekend of camping nearby since it was on the way home, and of course we couldn't leave Julian without grabbing some pie. We settled on this location since we had a large group, and they had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The shop itself is super cute and I think their outdoor seating is where they really shine! Plenty of benches and tables outside for a picnic type vibe, and they have a small garden that you can stroll through. There was even a friendly resident cat when we came! I got a slice of bumbleberry pie but also tried my friend's apple pie and strawberry rhubarb pie, all with crumble crusts, and they were all good with the perfect crust texture. I also got a taste of my friend's cinnamon ice cream which was good and went well with the apple pie! Lastly, I ordered a pint of their apple cider which was refreshing and just the perfect amount of sweetness, although it was a bit on the pricier side. They also had other things for sale like dog bones, honey, and seeds. The place gave cozy rustic vibes for sure. Overall, a great option if you're looking to enjoy some pie and relax in their garden seating area.

I didn't realize that Mom's Pie House had multiple locations but if you're not interested in exploring Julian, this stop might be the better option! As far as I can tell, they have the same menu and the pies taste the same. We arrived pretty early in the morning and were the only group up until the end. Order at the front and pick-up towards the side when they call out your number. Dogs aren't allowed inside but there's a huge outdoor area in the back with a beautiful garden and tons of shade. They have a cat wandering around so make sure to keep dogs on leash! I ordered the Apple Crumb a'la mode, which comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The pie was crumbly and the apple filling was sweet and warm. Pairs perfectly with the cold vanilla ice cream! If ice cream isn't your go-to pie accompaniment, you can also get whipped cream. I also got to try the strawberry rhubarb and bumbleberry but those were a bit too tart for my liking. Great snack to start the day! Make sure to stop by if you're in the area and try the apple pies that make Julian so famous.

We had lunch in Julian and got some pies to go from one restaurant, but we wanted to have dessert at Mom's because it looked so inviting! I had a slice of cherry pie and a vanilla latte. Hubby had a bumbleberry pie with whipped cream. The name was odd but the taste was delicious! I actually liked his pie better than mine. I'll definitely have to return for a full pie. The latte was perfectly balanced with the milk and vanilla and was served at the right temperature. It was a charming restaurant and they sold souvenirs. This is not a complaint, but I would have liked to be served on actual dishes instead of paper. That's not a dealbreaker, though.

I prefer this location over the location at the Main Street Julian. * Ample Parking * Inside and Outside seating * Outside pet friendly seating * The garden that you can stroll through * Same great tasting pies! Service is friendly. It has a homey feeling. Items that my family have tried and liked: * apple pie (choose flaky or crumb), I prefer crumb. - with ice cream Apple pie is not my go to pie. But when I tried my husband's pie at the other location I now must have to get a pie from Mom's or it wasn't a good trip to Julian. The apples are perfectly tender with just the right balance of sweetness and spice, cinnamon flavor just right without overpowering the natural apple flavor. The crumb topping is buttery, golden, and generously layered, adding a satisfying crunch in every bite. Paired with the flaky crust underneath, it's rich without being too heavy. One slice instantly feels, The apples are perfectly tender with just the right balance of sweetness and spice--cinnamon forward without overpowering the natural apple flavor. The crumb topping is buttery, golden, and generously layered, adding a satisfying crunch in every bite. Paired with the flaky crust underneath, it's rich without being too heavy. One slice instantly feels like a warm hug and it's even better warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Partnered with their coffee or hot chocolate. For some reason I picture Olaf singing the song, "In Summer," whenever I eat this pie. * pecan * pumpkin pie (seasonal) * rhubarb strawberry crumb with whip cream * apple cider (chilled or hot) * brownie * chocolate chip * banana bread * hot chocolate * coffee We usually like stopping here when we are leaving Julian. It's a great stop over before we drive back to our area. It get's the kids out walking and helps me stay up while my hubby drives back home. Can't wait to return!

The lies are phenomenal. DO NOT WASTE your Time with any other Julian Pies. This is the ONLY place to go for PIES!!! Service is impeccable and the ambiance is second to none! These are the Only pies to get while you're in Julian.

Mom's Pie House in Julian, CA

I really enjoy coming to Mom's Pie House -Wynola and I'm talking about the second location on Hwy 78 AWAY from Main Street Julian, CA. After our Eagle Mining Co., tour, we decided to drive to Main Street for lunch and dessert because it was only a 5 minute drive from there, but left because all the restaurants and dessert locations were packed!! We decided to drive to Mom's Pie House about a 12 minute drive but first we stopped at a local market to buy deli sandwiches, soft drinks and snacks to go on a picnic at Mom's Pie House because they have a nice outdoor garden with picnic tables. After we were done, we bought some of our favorite pies at Mom's Pie House: Apple pie a la mode with vanilla ice cream and crum top and the special of the day, Bumble Berry Apple. Avoid the large crowds and have a picnic at this location! Happy Yelping :)

*A True Julian Gem *delicious pies *cozy warm ambiance *outdoors sitting Mom's Pies is an absolute Julian classic, and with two locations -- one right in the heart of Julian and another in Wynola -- you really can't go wrong. I've visited both, and each one has its own charm and cozy vibes. The Wynola location completely captured my heart. It gives all the fall feels -- warm, inviting, and not as crazy busy as the downtown spot. The customer service was wonderful. Mason was super helpful, and the young ladies working there were so kind and welcoming. Both locations are adorable, but Wynola has that extra cozy outdoor seating that makes it the perfect place to enjoy a hot coffee, apple cider, and of course... cherry pie with ice cream. If you're in Julian or Wynola, this is a must-visit. A sweet little spot that always hits the spot!

What an amazing place!!!!!!! The pies are UNBELIEVABLE! I can't wait to go back and get more! They have different flavors and a few drinks as well.

Came during the off season which is honestly the time to go! No line, amazing pie, and great ambiance! Even has a little friendly kitty on the property. An abundance of parking as well! A win all around.

First time coming to this pie house and I'd have to say it is amazing. We got the Dutch apple pie and it was perfect. Flaky crust with sliced apples and topped with strussel. Not too sweet or too much cinnamon flavor. Really love it. Unfortunately they don't sell at grocery stores like other pie competitors but it's worth buying and bringing a whole pie home. They have cookies, honey and delicious coffee for sale. They even have their own swag for sale. Staff is super friendly and provided good service. Indoor ambiance was cozy. Restrooms for men and women are separate and only have one stall but it is well maintenance and very clean.

Julian is one of my favorite places. It feels like stepping back into a simpler time. It is a great day trip from San Diego, always something new to explore and wander. Mom's is one of those places you just have to visit. It is the quintessential dessert spot. Their pies are all homemade and some combinations are only found here. Their staff are very friendly. They have many options and the pie is excellent. The store is cute, small but not too small and it is warm and inviting but not busy with trinkets. If you are heading to Julian, I would definitely recommend stopping in! Really cool bonus - they have the same cookie jar my mom had on the counter growing up, a kitty holding a cookie....love it!!

This location is just outside of the town of Julian. Keep an eye out for their sign as it's easy to pass by if you're not prepared. Plenty of parking. Service was nice and pleasant. Outside in the back they have a very beautiful seating area. We enjoyed our slice of pie and the fresh cool air there. They also have a couple of restrooms if you need a bathroom break. We came in to try their apple pie and it was good. I kind of like the one at the other known pie place in the area, but everyone has different taste buds and preferences. Overall it was a nice stop, especially for their outside eating area.

Jonathan K.

Julian is a small town known for its pies and this places lives up to the expectation. Their apple pie is definitely a must try. The pie is not overly sweet and the crust is perfectly flaky. Make sure you get a scoop of their vanilla ice cream as well since it goes super well with the pie. If you live far from Julian like me, they do sell pre-baked pies that you can take home and bake it yourself. The cashiers were all very friendly and helpful, everyone seems like they are in a good spirit. Parking is very easy. There are plenty of lots, big and small, next to this place.

Reviews are largely positive. People love the fresh, flavorful pies, especially apple and bumbleberry, and appreciate the friendly, welcoming staff. The homey, inviting atmosphere and ample parking also stand out.

I've been coming to Apple Alley Bakery for years, and I honestly think they have the BEST pie in…read moreJulian! I took my parents here yesterday for their first visit, and they agreed! They have great prices, friendly service, and both indoor and outdoor seating. But most importantly, the pies are absolutely delicious! We tried the caramel pecan apple pie, boysenberry apple pie, and apple mango pie. Everything was amazing, but the apple mango was my favorite! Definitely give that one a try. They also had yesterday's apple strudel available for just $1, and it was still so delicious! What a deal! You can even have your pie warmed up and enjoy it with vanilla or cinnamon ice cream. We sat outside, and they brought our order out to us. They even brought water and biscuits for our dogs, which was such a thoughtful touch. This really is my favorite stop in Julian. If you love pie, you NEED to stop here!

It was not too sweet, lots of flavor, and very delicious. The pecan top was a nice touch and went well with the apples inside. The pie was also affordable compared to other competing pie shops. The actual pie shop is tucked away in the alley. When you enter they have a register area but also a dining area. I just went to the register to order and was greeted by the nicest lady. She gave me great recommendations on how to eat it. Parking was tough because there is limited street parking and the town around there gets busy. We got lucky though. I do want to come back and try their other items. Regrets that I didn't get their cider while I was there.

I was sure I posted a review already. Oh You Yelp!…read more Restrooms, Seasonal tchotchkes, baked goods, meals. Service, appropriate dor this busy place. Ambiance, local. Worth a visit.

Ever since the summer of 1975, when I first drove up to Santa Ysabel in San Diego County for some…read morebread, I've occasionally bought Dudley's Date Nut Bread as a morning treat with my coffee. In 1975, a loaf cost around $3. And for several decades beyond that time, many outlets in San Diego sold Dudley's Bread, which was nice because it saved people a long drive up to the mountains. But, as with all good things in life, that too was taken from us all in the name of the mighty, deflating U.S. dollar. Today, and for quite a long time now, Dudley's $3 loaf of bread costs $7.75 for (one) loaf! You talk about out-and-out, blasphemous greed! This is a very strange phenomenon that is Satanic in origin, by the way, because of the nature with which it has "slowly" evolved into American society, little by little, over an extended period. After how I was ignorantly mistreated yesterday at Dudley's Bakery in Santa Ysabel, stating my dissatisfaction with how I (a long-time, paying customer) by a young woman who most certainly came across vividly as a bona fide, true to the core, spoiled young liberal female who (unfortunately) happened to end up being the one who I had to deal with at the cash register to pay for the bread I had in my hands, I made up my mind this would be the very last time I would patronize this place. It was not a direct and/or immediate occurrence, either! I had to stand there for about ten minutes first, before any employee there even made eye contact! There were only two points of sale at the counter, and both were being attended by female employees who stood there and chatted on and on about everything under the sun with other customers and ignored the job at hand, which is to take money from the next paying customers waiting in line, so that they could be afforded the opportunity to pay for their merchandise, rather than to be completely and utterly ignored! This is the way liberalism is (allowed) to function in the United States in THESE times we all live in right now. And LIBERALISM IS the problem! Attributes such as "The Customer comes first," or having a smile on your face, or saying kind things to make customers feel welcomed, respected, and appreciated are NON-EXISTENT today. It is all about the liberals and their "feelings." Now... the bottom line, the meat of what took place at Dudley's Bakery on October 23, 2026, in the late morning when I was there attempting to make a purchase. I was FINALLY acknowledged by a young female employee who rang up the order, and, as with most establishments anymore, they have a POS system where the customer is required to TOUCH a glass screen to complete the transaction. I mentioned to that cashier that I do not like touching those screens that everyone else touches. So, she reached around and hit one of the functions that allowed me to continue and pay. But then, in an instant... and very much UNEXPECTEDLY... she asked a question that NO OTHER cashier has EVER asked me before, and that was..."HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO TIP?" My reply was, "A TIP?" "Tip for WHAT?" And she said For my service? I gave her a tip all right, but it was not the kind she expected! I said to her... "A TIP is something that a person "EARNS" over a period of given time, such as at a dining establishment where the person serving your table has a nice attitude, a smile on their face, takes your order, then brings you your food and takes good care of you and your guests at a table when you are enjoying a meal." That is what I said to her. Then she blurted out... "Well, I provided a service to you." And I said, "What "service" was that?" She said, "This transaction!" And then she gave me an extremely HARD and ANGRY-LOOKING STARE, the kind of hard stare someone would give toward someone who murdered their dog or something of that extreme order! Then... at the END of that LONG, FIRM, mean-spirited stare, she YELLED OUT very LOUDLY... "GOODBYE!" Then she quickly walked away! At that point, I asked. "WHERE IS MY RECEIPT?" She abruptly STOPPED, turned around, and angrily snagged the receipt from the register and tossed it into the bag with the bread. Not EVEN the consideration to ask me (the PAYING CUSTOMER) if I would like the receipt to be handed to me. NOTHING like that! Then, she turned around again and sped off toward the kitchen area. The original people who began Dudley's Bakery back in the day were always nice, congenial, mature, welcoming, and appreciative of your business. TODAY... it is 180 degrees the opposite of that! This is HOW an insane society does business when "liberalism" is allowed to take over common sense and dignity in this world. That event at Dudley's Bakery yesterday left a bad taste in my mouth, and in my wallet! As much as I like that Date Nut Bread, and after "5" decades of being a customer there, I have decided to not patronize that business any longer! They have LOST a customer for LIFE!
