    The lies are phenomenal. DO NOT WASTE your Time with any other Julian Pies. This is the ONLY place to go for PIES!!! Service is impeccable and the ambiance is second to none! These are the Only pies to get while you're in Julian.

    I prefer this location over the location at the Main Street Julian. * Ample Parking * Inside and Outside seating * Outside pet friendly seating * The garden that you can stroll through * Same great tasting pies! Service is friendly. It has a homey feeling. Items that my family have tried and liked: * apple pie (choose flaky or crumb), I prefer crumb. - with ice cream Apple pie is not my go to pie. But when I tried my husband's pie at the other location I now must have to get a pie from Mom's or it wasn't a good trip to Julian. The apples are perfectly tender with just the right balance of sweetness and spice, cinnamon flavor just right without overpowering the natural apple flavor. The crumb topping is buttery, golden, and generously layered, adding a satisfying crunch in every bite. Paired with the flaky crust underneath, it's rich without being too heavy. One slice instantly feels, The apples are perfectly tender with just the right balance of sweetness and spice--cinnamon forward without overpowering the natural apple flavor. The crumb topping is buttery, golden, and generously layered, adding a satisfying crunch in every bite. Paired with the flaky crust underneath, it's rich without being too heavy. One slice instantly feels like a warm hug and it's even better warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Partnered with their coffee or hot chocolate. For some reason I picture Olaf singing the song, "In Summer," whenever I eat this pie. * pecan * pumpkin pie (seasonal) * rhubarb strawberry crumb with whip cream * apple cider (chilled or hot) * brownie * chocolate chip * banana bread * hot chocolate * coffee We usually like stopping here when we are leaving Julian. It's a great stop over before we drive back to our area. It get's the kids out walking and helps me stay up while my hubby drives back home. Can't wait to return!

    I really enjoy coming to Mom's Pie House -Wynola and I'm talking about the second location on Hwy 78 AWAY from Main Street Julian, CA. After our Eagle Mining Co., tour, we decided to drive to Main Street for lunch and dessert because it was only a 5 minute drive from there, but left because all the restaurants and dessert locations were packed!! We decided to drive to Mom's Pie House about a 12 minute drive but first we stopped at a local market to buy deli sandwiches, soft drinks and snacks to go on a picnic at Mom's Pie House because they have a nice outdoor garden with picnic tables. After we were done, we bought some of our favorite pies at Mom's Pie House: Apple pie a la mode with vanilla ice cream and crum top and the special of the day, Bumble Berry Apple. Avoid the large crowds and have a picnic at this location! Happy Yelping :)

    Came during the off season which is honestly the time to go! No line, amazing pie, and great ambiance! Even has a little friendly kitty on the property. An abundance of parking as well! A win all around.

    *A True Julian Gem *delicious pies *cozy warm ambiance *outdoors sitting Mom's Pies is an absolute Julian classic, and with two locations -- one right in the heart of Julian and another in Wynola -- you really can't go wrong. I've visited both, and each one has its own charm and cozy vibes. The Wynola location completely captured my heart. It gives all the fall feels -- warm, inviting, and not as crazy busy as the downtown spot. The customer service was wonderful. Mason was super helpful, and the young ladies working there were so kind and welcoming. Both locations are adorable, but Wynola has that extra cozy outdoor seating that makes it the perfect place to enjoy a hot coffee, apple cider, and of course... cherry pie with ice cream. If you're in Julian or Wynola, this is a must-visit. A sweet little spot that always hits the spot!

    What an amazing place!!!!!!! The pies are UNBELIEVABLE! I can't wait to go back and get more! They have different flavors and a few drinks as well.

    First time coming to this pie house and I'd have to say it is amazing. We got the Dutch apple pie and it was perfect. Flaky crust with sliced apples and topped with strussel. Not too sweet or too much cinnamon flavor. Really love it. Unfortunately they don't sell at grocery stores like other pie competitors but it's worth buying and bringing a whole pie home. They have cookies, honey and delicious coffee for sale. They even have their own swag for sale. Staff is super friendly and provided good service. Indoor ambiance was cozy. Restrooms for men and women are separate and only have one stall but it is well maintenance and very clean.

    Julian is one of my favorite places. It feels like stepping back into a simpler time. It is a great day trip from San Diego, always something new to explore and wander. Mom's is one of those places you just have to visit. It is the quintessential dessert spot. Their pies are all homemade and some combinations are only found here. Their staff are very friendly. They have many options and the pie is excellent. The store is cute, small but not too small and it is warm and inviting but not busy with trinkets. If you are heading to Julian, I would definitely recommend stopping in! Really cool bonus - they have the same cookie jar my mom had on the counter growing up, a kitty holding a cookie....love it!!

    This location is just outside of the town of Julian. Keep an eye out for their sign as it's easy to pass by if you're not prepared. Plenty of parking. Service was nice and pleasant. Outside in the back they have a very beautiful seating area. We enjoyed our slice of pie and the fresh cool air there. They also have a couple of restrooms if you need a bathroom break. We came in to try their apple pie and it was good. I kind of like the one at the other known pie place in the area, but everyone has different taste buds and preferences. Overall it was a nice stop, especially for their outside eating area.

    Julian is a small town known for its pies and this places lives up to the expectation. Their apple pie is definitely a must try. The pie is not overly sweet and the crust is perfectly flaky. Make sure you get a scoop of their vanilla ice cream as well since it goes super well with the pie. If you live far from Julian like me, they do sell pre-baked pies that you can take home and bake it yourself. The cashiers were all very friendly and helpful, everyone seems like they are in a good spirit. Parking is very easy. There are plenty of lots, big and small, next to this place.

    We stopped at this roadside stand for the MOST AMAZING APPLE PIE and cinnamon ice cream. If you're on your way to Julian...save yourself the hour long wait in line and stop at their second location! It's darling and just quaint as can be! We watched them make pies- so fun! And ate hot pie out of the oven!

    Warm pie with ice cream while you enjoy it sitting outside in the sunshine in a garden...what more can you ask for? We came to Moms off Main Street because the line at the tiger location was out the door and down the sidewalk. It was insane. This location was on our way back home and had a lot of outdoor seating which was nice to give the kids some area to stretch their legs more. A must stop spot when in Julian.

    Very impressed with Mom's Pie House. I'm not a big pie person, but making my way to Julian for the first time I know I had to try this place out. I was happy to come here on a Saturday about 30 minutes before close by the time I got in line. The line was out in the parking lot, but it went by pretty fast. I ordered an apple pie with a crumbly top, rhubarb strawberry pie with a flaky top, and a hot cider. The apple pie was the best one out of the pies we got. So delicious and with the vanilla ice cream was perfect. I wish I would've got some to take home! Luckily, even past 5pm when they closed, they still let us eat inside which I was very happy about. There was no rush to kick anyone out, but I do know they cut off the line at a certain point because it was so long. The interior of this place was very homey and very cute. I loved the heart chairs. Will definitely be coming back again hopefully sometime soon!

We already got our pie fix at Mom's, but made this our last stop before heading out. It was so cold out, a super chilly day, there's nothing more perfect than to grab a hot cup of steaming Apple Cider! It hit the spot! I couldn't stop just standing there sipping my hot cider while waiting for our to go items to be prepared. We got two apple cider donuts, one cinnamon sugar and one chocolate dipped. Long ago, I tried these tiny heart shaped pie crust cookies covered in cinnamon and sugar - Apple Memories! These are crisp tiny bites of love that you want to take home every single time! There are actually two buildings. One where you can grab a bite to eat, the other has all the merchandise, and both have whole frozen pies to grab to go! The building where you can dine has a small inside dining area, it can get cozy in there, but on a chilly day, that is exactly what you want! Just outside there is plenty of room outdoors to enjoy the scenery. In the merchandise building I couldn't help myself... we took home a whole gallon of apple cider, and also bought a jar of Cinnamon Apple Honey Spread and a jar of Apple butter... absolute yum! The hubs also decided to try the apple cinnamon chapstick! Yes, you can grab one of these famous pies at many different establishments throughout San Diego. To make name a few, Iowa Farms, Spring Valley Market, Siesel's and even at Vons! But if you're in Julian, don't forget to try a pie, grab some Apple Memories, and don't forget to bring a hot thermos to take that hot Apple cider to go! Enjoy!!! Simply the Best!

AMBIANCE Parking: Street parking in downtown Julian. It can get pretty busy based on the time and season. Vibes: Welcome to Julian! A small town feel as you can experience almost everything within a block. However there are also some cool bars/farms to explore around to. The Cider Mill itself is in the heart of downtown Julian. Shelves filled with jams, preserves, candies, local honey, nuts, dried fruits, and all kinds of nostalgic treats.

Store is small, so when it got busy we had to leave. Worth checking out when you are looking for something to do in Julian.
