Julie's Coffee and Tea Garden

I have been catering from Julie's for my Art & Design lecture series at a local university. --one, to support a local business over a retail chain, but two, because their catering selections are themselves works of art!!! As such, their lavender cookies (with real flowers) and beautifully designed veggie platters surprise and delight our creative students. I have observed that, when the students feel taken seriously upon encountering a "real" reception (as opposed to Oreos and animal crackers), they take THEMSELVES more seriously as aspiring professionals; and then they engage with our guest speakers on that level. And that impresses our professional guests. Julie's cookie and veggie arrangements make an event feel special. It's worth the investment, even on my very tight budget. That said, it's really not much more expensive to order from them than to get platters from Safeway, but I know I am getting more wholesome ingredients, more design flair, more eco consciousness, and putting money back into my community. Shannon is really flexible in putting together a catering order, and the kind staff will even help you carry items to your car (if you don't have budget for on-site delivery). The students and I have been beyond pleased with their food and their magic.

If you are looking for a cute little tea shop vibe, Julie's scratches that itch every time! Be sure to treat yourself to the back patio. It's a lovely place and the folks that work there are always so sweet and attentive!

Best onsite bakery. Fresh and well put together food and drinks served to you on the back patio or inside.

It’s such a cute spot with really fresh & delicious food! The garden area in the back is so nice & relaxing. My friend & I started with an Oatmeal Coffee Cake and a Blueberry Muffin which were both so moist & flavorful. The Ginger Lemon brew (iced) was very refreshing & my friend’s Iced Vanilla Latte w/oat milk was so yummy! I also had to try the Baked Eggs w/ a side baguette & it was absolutely scrumptious, especially with the crispy cheesy edges 🤤 I will definitely be coming back!

This tea garden is a charming spot with a serene ambiance. I ordered a sustainably-sourced tea, which was presented beautifully in a whimsical teapot display – such a delightful touch! The Salmon Toast was packed with flavor and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. However, the prices are noticeably higher compared to other fair-trade options nearby. While I enjoyed my visit and would happily return for a special treat, it might not become a regular stop for me. I will try again when warm enough to sit in back garden area!
