It was packed…read morewith antiques and unique items, from vintage clothing and records to cookware, furniture, and decorative pieces. You'll find rare collectibles, retro toys, jewelry, and quirky trinkets. An entire shed of holiday-themed antiques. There's also a quiet seating area leading to a small estate with chickens, a donkey , a cat, and other animals. We didn't buy anything, but it was fun to browse and is now on my list for antique shopping!

A true junk shop--but WAY overpriced and dirty. Antique store prices in a flea market setting…read more Crowded, narrow aisles, lots of steps. Many aisles blocked so you can't get to things even if you want to. I wasn't impressed with the selection-lots of glassware and clothes. If digging through merch in a crowded, claustrophobic, dirty setting is your jam, you'll love it. The guy running the place was very nice.

This store still has the original flooring and ceiling and wood burning oven in the corner. I like how they sell a variety of items from cards to decor to jewelry and cookbooks. Lots to browse and shop here. Friendly old ladies as staff and quite nice to chat with. Good service and good value as well. They even have an outdoor patio area as well.

We ended up in this area when we were detoured due to a major highway being closed. Overall, we would stop again, if in the area. I'd give 5 stars if there was better parking.

Bargains and relics if you have the chance to browse or if curiosity of the past piques your interest, step inside, cautiously as the sign says, watch your step. The fresh bright orange pumpkins drew me in. The outdoor items with fallen dried maple leaves added to the nostalgia of items of bygone years. Amazingly I had a fun time looking at jewelry pieces. I asked, did all of these items come from people who have passed? She lifted both hands and shrugged ... (probably, right?) I'm glad we had time since we placed a big order of Bbq from across the street.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed the Jewel Box before as I've been shopping with her for many…read moreyears. She has such a lovely selection and something for every price range. There is no pressure at all. Yesterday, she showed me a necklace I liked and I told her that I needed to ponder on it. I also left a couple of pieces to be repaired. When I went back to pick up my repaired items, I bought the piece. We've also had Patricia custom make items for us. Our Mom lost one of her her favorite cross earrings. We showed Patricia and she suggested we have two new ones made and and turn the original cross into a necklace. It was a great suggestion and the price was so reasonable. She shipped us everything within a couple of weeks. Mom was so pleased. Patricia has one many ribbons for her jewelry from the Del Mar Fair and we enjoy seeing them when we visit. Every time we come to Julian, this is one of our "go to" places and we always enjoy catching up with Patricia. She is a sweetheart!

Went straight to Julian's Hard Apple Cidery -we had the flights and did not regret being in line for a while. Plus did I mention about how nice the staff were???

There's a lot of local knowledge to be "mined" from both Peggy and Marilee. You'll get all the insider trails and prospecting sites if you stay long enough. They sell raw unpolished rocks outside by weight. Inside the store are their polished and gallery specimens. They also sell Geodes where they'll crack 'em open to reveal their crystal treasure inside. The trick is to find the largest and lightest ones. Tip - If you don't know what to buy, there's always the grab bags for the kids ($2)

Don't get trapped by the mining company down the road that had cheap rocks that were bought online and painted gold rocks to fool the kids thrown into dirt to fool the kids it was really cheesy! Crossroads is awesome! This place is the real deal . They have amazingly beautiful rocks. They even cut open rocks right in front of you I got a geode that was full of amazing crystals! So fun and super CHEAPPPPPP too! 50 cents - $5.00 for some pretty awesome rocks Your kids or you will be in mineral, gemstone, rock heaven. I already want to go back. Super friendly too! I'm so so so glad I pulled off the road.

We love Patty and her wonderful store!! She made my family feel so welcomed with her helpfulness,…read morekindness, and compassion. We enjoyed looking at her perfectly curated collection of beads, charms, chains, and more. Patty made each of us a bracelet and added the charms, chain, and clasps we picked out. We are so happy to have a unique keepsake we will cherish forever and look forward to continuing our tradition of coming back to this store for years to come. As an added plus, Patty is a wonderful dog lover. She has 3 dogs in her store who are so sweet and greet everyone softly. Patty shared stories of owning her business for 21 years in the area, and how she came to love beads. Please stop by and support this hidden gem the next time you're in Julian. Buy a few beads for your friends. It's the perfect small, inexpensive, gift to take home. Thank you Patty!

Look to the walls for bulk and colors, look to the shelves for individual and unique options. They even provide little baggies and markers for you to price it out as you shop. And that is just the beads. They have an incredible selection of crafters supplies available. Again, my daughter has found things she didn't even know existed, let alone that now she wouldn't work on her jewelry without. And they spend their free time creating amazing works of art in the form of necklaces and bracelets that are placed around the shop. Literally, birthday, anniversary, and holiday level present worthy necklaces and bracelets available for prices you will not scoff at.
