Stopped by after visiting Julian ( so many people there lunch lines were hours)…read more Wife ordered Chicken Pot Pie and I ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich. This was the best meal we've had in a long time. Pot pie was so cute as crust was a not the traditional crust on top, but rather chicken shaped crust standing in the pot pie, and the pearl onions were the eggs. Wife said it was the best pot pie she has ever eaten. My Hot Chicken sandwich had a taste profile that was the right heat and nice flavor balance. Best I've ever eaten. Service was excellent, and the restaurant was modern and updated. Could have asked for better food and service. This will definitely be on come again list.

We had high hopes this place would improve... but nope. This was my second visit--and definitely my…read morelast. I even brought friends who had never been here before, thinking it could become one of our regular stops when we're out hitting the trails. Instead, it left a bad taste in everyone's mouth... and not just from the food. Waitress: Where do I even start. She claimed she was hard of hearing--but her attitude spoke loud and clear. Tossing menus on the table, aggressively slamming salsa down, and getting snarky over being off because our party count was off by one person. Seriously? It took two seconds to adjust the table, but apparently that was just too much. Yes, she technically did her job... but with such a cold, unwelcoming, and rigid attitude that it made the whole experience uncomfortable. What really stood out? We were there first and ready to order, yet she chose to take care of every smaller table that came in after us. No communication, no "I'll be right with you," nothing. Just ignored. Basic courtesy clearly isn't part of the service here. And trust me--I used to be a waitress. I handled large parties all the time and actually communicated with my tables. It's not that hard. Honestly, if gratuity hadn't already been forced onto the bill, she would've gotten $0. The only pleasant person we encountered was the busser--quick, friendly, and actually seemed like he wanted to be there. Maybe swap their roles, because he outperformed her by a mile. Food: Let's talk about the food... if that's what we're calling it. Everything came out cold. Not "warm-ish," not "could be hotter"... just straight up cold. It felt like our plates were sitting under a heat lamp for way too long before making it to the table. One "white" friend asked to have her meal fixed--fine, no problem. But when another "Hispanic" friend asked the same thing? Suddenly there was attitude, menu slamming, and mumbling under her breath. So... what exactly was the difference? Why the inconsistency and hostility? If the kitchen is that backed up, maybe management should step in and help instead of letting food die in the window. Just a thought. Final Thoughts: This place had potential... but that waitress single-handedly ruined it. We'll be taking our group (and our money) elsewhere--Dudley's Bakery is looking like a much better option moving forward. I usually bring large groups out here, so this isn't a small loss. Unfortunately, if this is the level of service they're okay with, this place isn't going to improve anytime soon. At this point, it's less "Farmhouse charm" and more "junky barn energy."

Yep I sure did make the drive out here to grab me one of their popular pies…read more Julian is known for their many variety of pies. But especially their many flavors of apple pies. I got their caramel dutch apple crumb pie. Glad I did because it was absolutely delicious when I drove back to OC and had some. Just needed to warm it for 30 seconds and I was in pure heaven. The caramel top made it even that much better. The crust to apple filling was perfect. And it had the perfect amount of sweetness. I highly recommend it. You can even get their pies frozen to take back if you like. Besides pies, they also had other baked goods such as their pastries, cookies, and donuts. I would love to their their popular apple cider donut. Besides pies and baked items they also had goodies, such as their house made apple honey, apple cider flavor popcorn, and apple butter. The staff was nice and my pie came out pretty quick. They have limited seating inside and a nice patio outside to enjoy your treat. There is plenty of parking. I would definitely come back.

I've been hearing friends talk about this spot so i decided to drive up to Julian for the weekend…read moreand try it out! After a nearby hike I came in here to reward myself so i bought a slice of mountain berry pie with vanilla ice cream and a cinnamon roll to go. Parking was great, no line inside, the prices were pretty high. (Esp the cinnamon roll) The pie was actually really good minus the hair that was in it.. The cinnamon roll was super disappointing. I wanted to warm it up and eat it with my afternoon coffee so i got it to go. When i opened it i immediately saw how dry it was. The sides were hard to the touch. I hoped microwaving it would help..nope.. for that high of a price you'd hope it wasnt stale. Definitely not coming here again, ill try Mom's next time!

Trays full of fresh bread of different varieties, whole pies, a case full of beautiful desserts and…read morebaked goods, plus an excellent lineup of sandwiches, the only problem is what to pick. This has become a go-to spot post-hike in the area and always is the treat I look forward to. On my most recent visit I had the BLT which had avocado, an egg, and chipotle mayo on brioche - hit the spot. Each sandwich comes on a different type of bread, which adds to the flavor profiles for each. Sometimes places just put it all on wheat or sourdough, but I like how the bread is paired to add to the sandwich. There's seating inside and out and always plenty of parking, though I can imagine on the weekend, it's more competitive. Although the spot has been around for a while, I just recently got introduced to it on enthusiastic recommendations from others, so I pass that enthusiastic recommendations onto you.
