    Kibbi Rider with Hommous on Pita Lunch
    Ruben L.

    I've been to this location a couple of times. The food here is always good. It's an excellent location small restaurant with great food choices as well. The service here is always good as well. I decided to go here for the first time in 2022. Parking is slightly difficult to find, being that it's a shared parking lot and they are only open for breakfast and lunch. The restrooms are clean, just slightly outdated. When I was here, I decided to order a lamb platter, and my roommate decided to order a falafel and hummus platter. Both dishes were excellent. The ambiance of this small restaurant is very good. I will be returning here soon.

    Grilled Chicken Rider on Pita with Mushrooms and a side of fries. I ate most of them lol

    Gawd, where can I get a good pita sammich delivered to me because I'm slammed at work and don't feel like leaving? I can't tell you how long it took me to decide what to eat and from where until I found Julie's Cafe on Postmates. I really had my heart set on a Camel Rider, but when I saw the Grilled Chicken Rider on Pita with Mushrooms under Julie's Specialties on the menu I quickly changed my mind. I ordered that and a side of fries, sat back and waited for the delivery. It took longer than it should've but I didn't question what happened with my order. It was all there, I got it, and I was hungry. It smelled wonderful. The greens (the lettuce and banana peppers) were used sparingly but that was ok, the provolone, chicken, and mushrooms were taking up most of the pita. I tried to take a bite of the entire pita and it quickly fell apart...and I was ok with that. The chicken and shrooms tasted fresh from the grill and not overly seasoned. The greens cooled off the grilled items and balanced out the flavors. The fries were of the crinkle-cut variety and were just ok. This was a good lunch and I was satisfied.

    After dropping off my car for service at a car shop nearby, I decided to visit Julie's Café. It is a small mom and pop owned place. A nice brunch place serving American and Middle Eastern food. From the looks of the art decors and all, I guess the owners are from Jordan.   I took my time placing my order. While I waited, I noticed how much steady traffic of customers. Looks to be loyal customers. And these customers kept ordering the Chery Limeade, so why not. So I too jumped on the Cherry Limeade wagon. It was pretty good actually, just a little bit on the sweeter side.   I ordered the Two eggs with Bacon and opting for Hash Browns instead of Grits. Food was made rather quickly. Definitely hit the spot.

    Nice little cafe. Order at the counter. Good and service great! Had breakfast. Nice portions. Eggs cooked just as I ordered.

    Home cooked food! so good and fresh! The gentleman working there are very personable and polite! They made these recommendations and they were right on point! Fries were nice and crispy! I just found my fav local spot! They've been in business for 30 yrs can't believe I'm just finding them now!

    If you are looking for a quick little breakfast or lunch spot that offers decent food this is a great place to go. The food is average, but good. The omelette did not have any cheese in it, only draped over the top, the mushrooms were canned and had that canned taste to them. Not bad food for a very good price.

    I haven't been to Julie's Café in years. I grew up in the Mandarin area so I used to stop in for lunch occasionally, but then I moved to another side of town so coming by for lunch just wasn't an option. Luckily I am back in the Mandarin area for work now so they will definitely be seeing my face more often. This morning I was in the mood to stop somewhere for a quick breakfast but not fast food and while I was searching my brain of stuff in the area I was coming up short until I suddenly remembered the cute like café that I hadn't seen in years. As soon as I walked in I was quickly reminded of why Julie's is so great. There is this warm and inviting feeling when you walk in the door. This family owned and operated café smelled like bacon and all the other breakfast foods that make your mouth water. For breakfast I had the 2 egg pita sandwich with tomato and swiss. It was delicious. I will definitely be back to Julie's café soon....their chicken salad pita is one of my favorites....and I urge others to stop in soon as well.

    Tabouli pitas, hummus with pita @ Julie's Cafe on Sunbeam Road
    Caron S.

    Julie's Cafe was a fab lunch find. Four of us were first-timers and we had no idea what to expect. The interior is large, and clean, with a bit of a random vibe - posters of Greece, Jordan, and the like. We all ordered the tabouli rider - fresh tabouli in a pita pocket, served with a slice of green pepper, a hot pepper, and lemon wedge. Yum! We ordered the hummus, which came in a small bowl w/ olive oil drizzled on top and two flat pita pieces, and I ordered the falafel with tahini sauce (mmm, drinkable!) to share. Everything was great. The owner heard it was our first visit and brought us each a baklava for dessert, on the house. It was delicious and crispy, crunchy and pistachio-y. The menu's fairly extensive for breakfast and lunch and the prices can't be beat. Everyone behind the counter was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We'll be back!

    Pita was soft, warm but crunchy. Hummus was excellent. Tabuleh was tart. Kibbi done perfectly. Rare find in this cultural desert.

We placed our orders, were seated and the server immediately brought out drinks. It was quiet, clean and the decor is cute. The lighting is very unique. The food was delicious. The Reuben & quiche were great. The surprise was the broccoli salad. While not a fan of uncooked broccoli it had a great flavor with cheese & raisins. I ordered German chocolate cake to go and it was the bomb. So moist, flavorful and filling it turned into a 3 time dessert over the course of the day. I'd definitely some back, but always seem to forget this is here. A hidden gem.

I opted for the Rachel on white (it comes on marble rye) with broccoli salad. It honestly doesn't look like much in the picture but it was so good! There wasn't so much cole slaw to make the sandwich soggy and the bread is very sturdy. It had the perfect amount of each ingredient to where you could taste everything. Just a well composed sandwich. Broccoli salad was good. I also had a giant chocolate chip cookie and it was perfect. Helpful and friendly service. Decor is eclectic and fun. Would recommend this place to anyone.

    I'm Greek. And I adored the matriarch and chef Georgia. And I'm reluctant to criticize a family…read morebusiness. But I'm a foodie. And eating out now is so expensive that the meal better be worth it.   Sadly, I'm not going back to the Athenian Owl. (Even though Georgia promised to set me up with a nice Greek man.) My biggest complaints were the TINY servings for mostly overpriced dishes (especially the Souvlaki and the grilled Octopus), and the comically bad service .... Especially maddening is that a steady Greek Chorus of customers have lodged similar complaints on Google and Yelp -- all seemingly to no avail. Georgia's son George, the otherwise friendly owner, responds to each critical review with only a sarcastic "Have a Blessed Day!"  The Athenian Owl offers a big variety of home-style, traditional Greek dishes. The family launched it about a decade ago -- after opening and running for years, then selling -- the still-popular Athens Cafe. I hosted a luncheon for four. I prepared a tasting menu of shared platters (see orange menu photo), and went to the restaurant days ahead to go over it with Georgia. I prepaid $292, no drinks, tax included. I left a $50 cash tip at the table (frankly, that was kind).   Greeks are huge on hospitality, and take pride in being generous hosts. And they eat big. Even an ordinary Greek meal feels like Thanksgiving, with loosened belts and emergency naps ....  So, when skimpy platters landed on the table, I was taken aback -- and upset. Days later, I'm still upset .... I've eaten hundreds of Greek meals (was even fed Greek baby food! lol), and I have Never, EVER, seen such skimpy servings! It was like that old TV ad: Where's the beef?   BEST: -- Hummus dip w/ pita -- Saganaki flambé: fried Kefalograviera cheese. Alas, instead of a dramatic fiery show, the waitress lit only a small flame that quickly extinguished. Still tasty, but disappointing. -- Spanakopita: Spinach & Feta w/ phyllo crust. Get the entree pie, not the appetizers' triangles. But $20/slice is too high -- Grilled Vegetable Souvlaki -- Sautéed Mushrooms w/Capers: not on the menu, but it's the Riganato dish, minus the lemon sauce -- Baklava: phyllo pastry of chopped nuts & syrup -- Galaktoboureko: custard pie w/phyllo crust & syrup JUST OK: -- Pastichio: Greek lasagna. Too little ground beef. And I couldn't detect any cheese or sauce. It was mostly just noodle, ridiculous at $21/portion. The bechamel rescued it for me, but my guests barely touched it. -- Dolmades: stuffed grape leaves. So-so, saved by the lemon sauce topping. Dolmades at the Whole Foods' buffet are tastier -- and they come from a can! -- Elliniki salad: good tomatoes and vinaigrette. Tasteless Feta chunks. Overrun w/ onion. HARD PASS: -- Souvlaki: each Kebob chunk was TINY. And the serving sizes were also galling. I ordered 3 skewers of chicken ($30) and 2 of lamb ($24), and we barely got half the meat that's typically served at other Greek venues -- at like twice the price! .... I was so irked that I called Georgia over. C'mon, chicken is cheap. I've had bigger and better for 10 bucks at street food trucks.  -- Grilled Octopus: a Greek specialty, and traditionally a signature dish. I complained to Georgia again: Not only was the serving not the customary entire tentacle, but it was also the world's thinnest. What, was this the last octopus in the ocean? At $24: another rip-off. -- Avgolemono: supposed to be thick and creamy soup, with a lemony egg broth. It was thin, as if watered-down. Almost no chicken or rice. -- Lemon Roasted Potatoes: lemon? undercooked  -- Orzo "Rice": the waitress delivered this pasta side after the meal was over. Literally a "leftover," so I took it home. Blah.  Speaking of the waitress: Other reviewers here have often cited woeful service. Our waitress was nice and well-meaning, but .... She forgot the Orzo. Ditto the Tzatziki yogurt dip and pita w/ the Souvlaki. She screwed up the Saganaki flambé. She delivered the meals in the wrong sequence. She even had to be reminded twice to bring the bread basket .... What's nuts: She didn't have to write down a single dish -- it was all pre-ordered! And, she had only a few other tables. Luckily, Georgia often checked-up and pitched-in. I bumped-up a Star here for her.

When listening to him with other tables, he treats them the same as he does With regard to the food, we tried the croissant egg sandwich, which I will say was outstanding.

    We recently had brunch / lunch at The Toasted Yolk Cafe. We hit up the location at 10915…read moreBaymeadows, just west of 295 in the shopping center with Winn-Dixie. I ordered from the Dynamic Duo (sandwich & soup combo) menu. I picked the Reuben and Chicken Tortilla Soup because it's been a minute since I've had either. The Reuben was good with my one critique being that I could've used a little more Thousand Island on it. The soup was good as well and not too spicy. I always order Chicken Tortilla and hope for the best because I've had it swing way past my threshold for heat but this didn't. It has a kick for sure but not too bad. My wife ordered the Hot Honey Chicken & Yolk Biscuit Sandwich. She really liked it with the biscuit itself exceeding what she expected. Like me, her only small issue with that she liked that hot honey so much, she would've liked a little more on it. That's something she knows to ask for next time though, so no biggie. We sat at the bar and service was great from everyone we interacted with. This was out third time here since they opened. My wife pointed out that she liked her first visit and this one better than the second. She had a regular platter the second time, so she thinks sticking with their specialties is the best way to go.
