Spent a nice Sunday here in the outside patio at Julienne's in San Marino. It's an interesting set-up 1. Can order hit it cold food inside, but only after you secure a table. 2. No signup sheet or reservations - you just need to be patient and scope out who you think might leave next. 3. After that we went inside ordered and got a number. 4. Our food was brought to us. We devoured the gruyère cheese sandwich on pumpernickel, it comes with a side salad. Also ordered a breakfast burrito it was ok. We ordered two lunch special sets: Tried a half tuna sandwich, side fruit, bag chips, and ice tea. Tried smoked salmon, side salad, chip and coffee. read more

Absolutely terrible service. The feeling they give you is that they're doing you a huge favor by serving you but it's really inconvenient. The beverage policy is ridiculous. Once you're seated and eating, if you want a beverage refill, you leave your hot meal to go stand in line (cashier is slow too, if they're even present), and WAIT in line to order another refill. All while your meal is getting cold and your conversation is disrupted. If you would rather drink water - oh yes, get that yourself too. Way too dependent on the atmosphere and completely flopping on making the experience enjoyable. read more

I'm really disappointed with my experience at Julienne Restaurant. I decided to come back because I used to love this place years ago, but it's clearly not the same anymore. The food quality was unacceptable -- there was a bug in the dressing, which is a serious health concern. The chicken salad was watered down and dry at the same time, and honestly tasted like cafeteria food. It felt nothing like the quality I remember from the good old days. Service was just as bad. No water was offered, staff seemed uninterested, and they never once came to check if we were okay. Overall, it felt like they didn't care. I was about to purchase the food and asked nicely if they could heat it up (since it's from the same restaurant), but they refused, saying "because of health concern" -- which is ironic considering there was a bug in the dressing. The supervisor, Christina, was especially unprofessional and dismissive. Instead of addressing the issue, she focused on policies and even mentioned charging extra, rather than providing basic customer service. Very disappointing experience. No wonder the ratings have gone down. read more

Ten years ago, they were a sit down restaurant but have since transitioned to a "order and grab a table number" system. They now only offer outdoor patio seating. Came for brunch one chilly morning and the huge heat lamps kept me pretty toasty. Ordered the green omelette and was expecting some green eggs and ham type dish but it was essentially a broccoli taco. Not bad, but it was alot of broccoli. Food is overall pretty good and they have a pretty unique menu too. I would come back but probably only on the weekdays as I can see it getting pretty crowded during the weekends. read more

Aesthetically, this place is beautiful. The ambiance, décor, and storefront create a charming European feel and make a wonderful first impression. Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to the setting. I ordered the French toast, which was very dry, while my husband's quiche was quite good. The biggest disappointment was the service. The staff came across as snooty, unapproachable, and uninterested in providing a welcoming experience. While the atmosphere is lovely, the combination of mediocre food and poor service means we would not return. read more

Shoutout to Michelle she was the only nice one there. Staff is not nice at all. I had to send my food back to get it remade because it was burnt. They have good cappuccino and take home items but the quality has gone down and the service is horrible. The seating is still nice outdoors but probably not coming back. read more

I went to Julienne for breakfast after a night shift and it was such a lovely way to start the morning. The space is cute and cozy, and they have an adorable little store attached with Christmasy trinkets and pastries I would love to try next time. They have patio seating with very strong (maybe too strong) overhead space heaters but it was nice to have that option. The staff were kind and welcoming which I really appreciated after a long night. I tried the popular open face smoked salmon sandwich and the breakfast burrito which were both pretty well fresh, clean, and well made. Julienne is just adorable. A peaceful easy breakfast spot, and one I'd happily return to again. I'll definitely be back. read more

We have been enjoying the Julienne for well over 26 years. The food is always so good and I love the ambiance with old world charm mixed with french decor. The service is just not the same as when they had a regular wait staff everyday. It feels very robotic with not enough personal care. But obviously they are doing enough right for us to drive an hour to enjoy the experience of eating here. read more

Julienne is an opulent local cafe and pastry shop tucked in one of the prettiest neighborhoods in LA County. And one of the oldest cafe business in the area. This cute little cafe has small outdoor patio, with a French setting. Thus, a very popular breakfast spot for locals. They serve coffee, tea, pastries, salads and American-Mexican breakfast items. I have drove pass by this cafe for years on weekends but always find it too busy or have a long wait. So we decided to go on a weekday. We came on cool Monday morning; we grabbed a table first before placing an order at the counter inside. We had a coffee, croissant and berry waffles. All three taste good, just the way I liked it. Food presentation was beautiful. Staff were very affable and competent. Service was brilliantly spot on. Prices were higher than most cafe shop/restaurant. Overall, I enjoyed my breakfast. I'd recommend you try this French cafe. read more

Service was odd because we waited in line to order for them to tell us to come back in 5 minutes because the kitchen is backed up. Half of our table already ordered by then too. Food wasn't too special. I ordered one of their specials which was a pork slider and the table also shared the pumpkin waffles. Cute for a brunch spot with outdoor seating. read more

Rainy Day choices and most places aren't open before 11am. Remembered that I wanted to try Julienne for a while and my brother was cool with it as he's been here several times in the past. It's a quaint little restaurant nestled in a store. Very reminiscent of a little French shop. The young man taking orders at the counter was a bit busy but we weren't in a hurry and he was very apologetic as he was also making the espresso drinks as well as taking orders. His recommendations were helpful and the rest of the staff were very attentive. I appreciate that the omelette was not greasy but light and not overwhelmingly filled with vegetables. My brother had the burger and fries and he rated it more like 3.5/4 but my overall experience warrants the 5 stars. I probably will come back again as this place is pretty solid. read more

The food was amazing! I ordered the breakfast burrito and my brother ordered the chilaquiles with chicken sausage. He also ordered a muffin and I ordered the raspberry muffin. I also ordered an Almer Palmer and a pumpkin spice iced latte. I really enjoyed my burrito and how perfect the size was with the green salsa. The raspberry muffin was jammed packed with flavor and so moist. The service was good. Our servers will come by every other 5 min to check in if we needed something or clean up. The ambiance is okay too but tables are a bit too close to other guests but I will for sure come back for a sandwich next time. read more

After all these years, this place still has that fantastic small quiet town charm. Love the light touch of sophistication and outdoor seating. The menu has gotten a little complex from what I remember, but the offering is quite nice. Ended up with a sandwich, quiche, and soup, and it was a lovely meal to have on a light drizzly morning. Service could use a little work though, as could their coffee. read more

I came in hoping for a nice coffee and croissant, but the service was unbelievably poor. My croissant took 25 minutes -- and it wasn't even brought to my table until I complained. No apology, no acknowledgment of the delay, just a dismissive "that's normal" from the staff. The coffee was equally disappointing -- bitter, burnt, and not worth the price. The lack of basic courtesy from the employees really sealed the deal. Definitely not coming back. read more

I've been trying to get back to Julienne for weeks. This quaint garden cafe is the darling of San Marino/South Pasadena. The boutique and specialty store frame this little gem and are nice additions that make any guest want to come back. The outdoor seating is especially nice on a day like today in the low 80's. I ordered the Spinach Crusted Quiche du Jour with Rosemary Potatoes, Petite Greens House Salad and a side of Applewood Bacon. I love the food, the people and the service. Sorry I didn't take pictures of my food. I woofed it down too fast! I'll do a better job next time. Jason, Richard and Laura are absolute best! read more

My friend and I walked to Julienne on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning. There was no line to order at the counter and we were met with very friendly waitstaff. We had several questions about the menu and they made efforts to accommodate our dietary needs, which we appreciated. We had our pick of tables and enjoyed the peaceful al fresco dining. I ordered the chilaquiles, which was topped with perfect slices of avocado! The entire dish was flavorful and I got an ample serving! I only finished half and took the rest home. My friend ordered the green omelette which she also enjoyed. Julienne is like a treasured friend-warm and inviting in every way. read more

One of my favorite brunch places in the area. Great food. You secure a table first and order up at the counter. All patio seatings now with ceiling heaters. This time of the year in November this cafe is already so christmasy. Love the ambience so much! So aesthetic! We tried: 1. Special: potato chive cake with 2 eggs and rosemary toast. This is like an upgrade version of egg Benedict without the Hollandaise sauce. The rosemary toast with raisin is also amazing with soft butter and jam. Always enjoy the rosemary aroma. 2. Green omelette: full of greens like avocado, spinach, broccoli and asparagus. You can pick either rosemary potato or fruits to go with. I picked fruit- so fresh! Street parking. read more

Have driven by this cute bistro for over a year and finally decided to try it for a nice brunch. It functions as a charming sidewalk cafe, store, market, deli, and catering service. Whether you choose to dine in, order out or just shop, it's sure to not disappoint. Walking in, you're immediately transported to a Hallmark-like world with abundant Christmas decorations adorning every last inch. Restaurant: Menu rotates. Many items I saw on Yelp menus were not available. It seems season with many pumpkin options currently available. You self seat outside and order/pay at the counter. A waiter then brings your food. Food was tasty, albeit a bit pricier. I would highly recommend the lemon scone. There was no wait for a weekday brunch, though seating is limited and by lunch there was a wait. Market/deli: You can pick up pre-made food such as salmon, chicken, pastries at the deli counter. They also have options on the side with ready to bake Mac n' cheese and soups in containers and much more. Overall, a very festive and quaint local store and bistro! read more

One of the most picturesque breakfast, lunch, and retail spots in the SGV! Julienne welcomes you to their vast menu selections and seasonal cute decor, currently all Easter themed. Their staff are pure joy! I found a quick spot right in front of the store, parking was a breeze! Their buttermilk waffles with apples and fresh berries were as delicious as it sounded. My friend got their signature combo sandwich, paired with an ice tea. For the loveliest of mornings, start your day at Julienne's. They also offer catering. read more

The food was amazing. If you've eaten a lot of omelettes for breakfast, their All-Green Omelette is way at the top of the best: the ingredients, the cheese and the garnish. The way the egg was cooked was just right, not overcooked. The whole thing was just so flavorful. Ditto with the French Toast, well-plated with all the berries around the slices. The cafe is tucked in a side street in San Marino, at the edge of South Pasadena; small, elegant decors and interiors but l wish the place is a little spacious. Instead the tables were so tiny and the flooring is a bit uneven that my wobbly chair made me feel dizzy a little bit. Other than that, again l love the food and the service. I'm definitely coming back during the weekend. read more

Small little cafe style eatery in a secluded part of San Marino/South Pasadena. Love the sidewalk cafe type of place with a small but large menu! Meaning, not a lot of items but broad spectrum dishes. Also, while quantity is sufficient, quality exceeds the bar.

Julienne in San Marino is a charming French gem that feels like a warm embrace. As a caregiver for over 10 years I have learned to cherish the beauty in small, thoughtful moments where care and heart speak louder than words. That is exactly what Julienne offers. The cozy ambiance wraps around you like a gentle whisper and each dish feels like a story crafted with love. It is a place where you don't just dine, you feel cared for, a beautiful reminder that whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). A sweet escape where every bite reflects the grace found in simple joys and kindness. I will surely return to this little haven. You can find this lovely spot at 2649 Mission St, San Marino, CA 91108. read more

tried julienne for the first time as a cute date with my girls for galentine's day and have mixed opinions. it's a non-traditional restaurant in the sense that you have to find your own seating, which means constantly scouting for people to finish their food so you can grab a table. there aren't very many available, so it's best to come during off-hours to avoid long wait times. you also have to order at the counter, but only after securing a seat. my experience with the man taking my order was unpleasant and honestly felt a bit hostile. as i approached the counter (always starting with a friendly "hello, i'm ready to order!"), i was immediately shut down with a "i'm not ready yet, please wait a moment," accompanied by a finger held up in my face. my friends and i were taken aback, and this alone was enough to reduce the tip amount. aside from that, the other waitstaff were very hospitable, so i tried to enjoy the rest of our time there. i ordered the green omelette, which was good but nothing exceptional--just a standard omelette with veggies. however, i did appreciate the freshness of the fruit. usually, fruit that comes on the side of a brunch dish is oxidized or mushy, but that wasn't the case here. all things considered, i can't say i'd be eager to come back. service was somewhat decent, and the food was average but priced higher than what it was worth. read more
