    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 The restrooms are clean, just slightly outdated.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

    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.

The service was wonderful and cannot deny the hospitality of the owners and the servers. With all that being said I rely heavily on the food quality, taste and portions to determine my rating. The bread was delicious with the side of herb butter. The soup was very underwhelming with a light lemon taste but the rice and chicken was something that I expected more. I'm Filipino and reminded me of a Filipino lugaw. (A cheap food). The grape leaves were ok, but not to my taste. Felt like the filling could be more flavorful. The salad was delicious with very fresh flavors. The octopus was cooked to perfection. Nothing to complain about. With my entree, the lamb souvlaki was underwhelming at a price of $28.99. I would expect more than 6 pieces of lamb. The chicken dish reminded me of a Chicken Francese but with rice. Overall, a good experience but not a great one.

The standout dishes for me were the grilled octopus, the fresh Greek salad, the warm bread with herbed butter, and especially the chicken riganati, which was packed with lemony flavor. Unfortunately, the dolmades and avgolemono soup fell a bit flat for my taste. My husband ordered the lamb souvlaki and it appeared the rice was more a filler with not even a handful of meat for the price. My main critique is that the portion sizes felt a little small for the price. Overall, though, the charming ambiance, friendly service, and decent dishes.

Fortunately, you can avoid some of the wait if you get your food to-go. They have reserved parking spots right next to the entrance and a whole separate area to order to-go food. I came on a Thurs at 1130am and was able to order/leave in 15-20 minutes. What made me fall in love with this place was, believe it or not, the Caesar salad dressing!!! It had so much flavor and was so addicting I ate the salad in 5 minutes. The Hot Italian sandwich had tender flavorful meats, great addition with the banana peppers, and bread was light/fluffy/spot on! The wedding cake was SO GOOD! Layers of moist cake, creamy icing and sweet strawberries. Yum! The inside decor wasn't very fancy but who cares when the food's so good? Will totally be back.

There menu did not have want I wanted, so I ordered individually: bacon, one fried egg, hash brown casserole , great cheese grits, cold biscuit, & coffee. The regular coffee was so-so. Everything came out pretty cold or lukewarm. My egg was missing. I had to ask about my egg and the nice Waiter brought it out fast. The hash brown casserole was mushy. The best item was the bacon. I hate to give reviews like this, but I have to honest about my visit. I do give the Waiter credit, he was pretty good, but very busy. Pros:plenty of parking, tasty bacon & Waiter. Cons: everything was warm or cold, very loud(high ceilings). Recommend? Maybe, yes for the younger crowds. My bill was over $23.00 and then a tip. I would be willing to return and try something else and update my review.
