    I'd give this place 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to 4 since it's really the best option in the area. The store has a ton of variety, from gifts for friends, kitchen gadgets, and bathroom items to toys and pet supplies. It's perfect for those hard-to-shop-for people in your life. The items here are definitely unique, so you're likely to find something special!! Prices are a bit on the higher side, but that's to be expected since it's in a touristy area. Some of the items you can find elsewhere, but you probably won't see a lot of them where you live unless you're ordering online. I spent a good 40 minutes just browsing and imagining how I'd use everything in my place. It was fun using my imagination! It's definitely worth checking out when you're in Julian, especially if you're looking for something one-of-a-kind!

    Funnest shopping place in Julian. The warm hearth has everything you would ever need for that hard-to-find-gifts-for person. - Good music playing. - Home decor. - lots of gourmet sauces and hot sauces. - Make sure you visit downstairs. - A lot of cool gifts for kids. Replica guns and axes for the boys and a bunch of fairy garden stuff for the girls.

    A natural born shopper? Like to spend $$? Then you must come here. More to look at than you can imagine. $200 was spent in an instant and that's not including 3 areas I didn't browse through. I'm hoping to make a return visit today on our way back from Idyllwild to La Jolla. You'd be surprised how far back and below the shop extends. Itinerary for today? Revisit and have another slice of Julian's famous apple pie. That would definitely make me a happy person.

    The store is huge with tons of gift items like candles, lotions, ear rings, cookbooks, which my wifey needs, and a lot more. The prices are fair seeing how this is for tourists. They also have a section down stairs in the back with more items to buy. When I'm in Julian, I always stop by here. Oh, in the winter, they have these old fireplaces, which help keep the store warm.

    Anything and everything. Huge and tons of merchandise. Way too much, gets exhausting, especially when you are a group of 5 ladies who love to browse and shop and are undecided of what they want. I went this past Saturday after a decade not visiting Julian. I did not remember the store having 2 levels and being that big. We found enough souvenirs for my friends to bring back to Chile and Colombia (they were visiting from there), so mission accomplished. However the traffic of people up and down made the shopping experience a bit stressful. Go with plenty of time as there is lots to see.

    One of my favorite stores in Julian. I try to come out here during the Christmas season. So many pretty things rustic to choose from. Christmas adds an additional flavor to the town of Julian. Everyone is so friendly here. The locals suggest to come out here during the week. The weekends are crazy crowded. Therefore streets and stores were definitely not crowded at all on a Tuesday.

    Tons of unique gift items. Here you could spend probably at least an hour in the store combing through all sorts of things here. Never disappointed always a story. Make sure to stop into when we're visiting the town.

    The Warm Hearth is an incredible store. Every time when I go to Julian for my annual visit in December, I find some amazing things. I love finding Christmas decor. I have purchased so much stuff over the years, I feel like a third of my Christmas decorations are from here. They have resin and wooden figurines, pillows, wall decor, ornaments, etc. They offer really unique and unusual items great for gifts like funny socks with sayings on them. I got my cousin who is a baker by profession a funny oven mitt with the saying "dropping a new recipe on your a$$." Also, they have a wonderful selection of hand made quality jewelry. The size of the place is deceiving from the outside. It is huge! The are numerous rooms and a large back area. If you are a baker or a cook, there is one room dedicated to the kitchen. They carry lots of specialty cookie cutters, tools, cookbooks, fancy measuring cups, bowls, containers, etc. There is another room with decor that changes depending on the season / upcoming holiday. Make sure that you go to the back. They have an incredible back area with more awesome finds. They carry lots of items to decorate the outside of your home - fountains, metal decorations, wooden decorative stakes, clocks. There are no associates walking around asking if you need help but you can always go to the front registers and ask for assistance. If there is a line, which there usually is, just wait a couple of minutes and someone will step out to help you. I usually spend about 45 minutes in the store to look and every nook and cranny. Incredible spot! Definitely check it out if you are in Julian.

    We found these thick felt elf slippers for my 6 year old and they will be perfect for the holidays!!

The store is selection of great souvenirs, unique wolf images, decors and wildlife gifts...Value wise its worth to stop by specially if you weren't able to catch the tour or buy tickets prior the worker has willingness to talk to you about wolves and their characters and give you valuable knowledge...Make sure to get the ticket online and dont wait the last minute...The hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 PM Monday to Sunday by appointment only. It starts from $30 for standard tour and go up to $50. For example: as they mentioned $30 (Wolf Conservation), $45 (Behavioral Enrichment), and $50 (Specialty) per person via website. The most important thing that the center has wheelchair-accessible entrance and one hr free parking infont of center!

    The Old Julian Garage was such a cute novelty gift shop. I…read moreSO wanted to love this place, but sadly I couldn't help to feel offended as my husband and I browsed the store last Sat. There were plenty of other tourists in the shop, but these two ladies were pacing me around the whole store like I was a thief. I could be browsing the greeting cards or smelling the candles and it seemed they both tag teamed to watch me like a hawk. When we finally went to get rung up, the short haired lady with the face shield was just straight awkward. She never said hello, if so found everything ok or any chitchat until I broke the ice at the end of my checkout. Of course, she opened up then, but I definitely didn't appreciate the treatment as a patron. I honestly wouldn't have purchased anything if it wasn't for the Purple Rain Prince & The Revolution 500-piece jigsaw puzzle - the most perfect birthday gift for my favorite Prince-fanatic friend. Sometimes as a white male, my husband honestly isn't too keen on seeing injustices I see. Once we left the store, I expressed how I felt, he said he noticed the two ladies tracked me and it was blatant. He just hoped to believe it wasn't true. To be frank, it is really sad if my oblivious husband notices something like this. Anyway, I don't often post negative reviews, but this experience truly warranted it as it left a sour taste in my mouth. If either of you ladies who worked Saturday 2/28 afternoon read this, please remember EACH HUMAN BEING who walks through your door is an EQUAL HUMAN BEING AND A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER. Please treat each person with equal dignity and respect you would like to be treated. What you did was simply unkind. I DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE BACK.

I wandered into their Christmas ornament section, and I was happy to find a German Shepherd Dog and Rottweiler stocking ornaments (in honor of my beloved boys), yay! They didn't have any Goldies, Labs or Chihuahuas - otherwise, I would have gotten those. Though, they did carry a lot of Westies and Corgis. This place is definitely a store to hit up! Both employees worked the cashier booth and are friendly. I also dig Warmth Heart (cool household knick knacks) across the street from them, but I ran out of time and had to get back on the bus.

I was so sad…read moreto learn that the blackberries bushes were all picked for the year, with the possibility of a couple vines but not yet ready. Flowers were in bloom and they did offer raspberries, but also said that was slim as well. Sure enjoy, with 3 people and 6 eyes, we were able to fill up. You pre-pay and then they give you your container. Walk around and you can come here to pick different fruits during different seasons. Guess what, they have a petting zoo inside as well! How cool! If there is food available and they haven't been fed too much, you can grab a scoop and feed away! Staff was friendly and very helpful in navigating, especially when you forget where you are supposed to walk to in order to pick your fruit. I would say it is about farmer's market pricing, definitely not on the cheaper scale but you are paying for quality here. Can't wait to come back! We came here in August 2025, and then my Husband brought his mother and siblings here in October 2025. They loved it as well. Plenty of parking, although dirt parking, easy to get in and out. Highly recommend if coming to Julian. This is a landmark/staple of Julian to visit.

Pricing is great and affordable we did the Barnyard experience ! I didn't know they did online reservations which is something we will do in the future as the line to purchase tickets was a little long . The animals are very cute , but some of them are a little more aggressive for food so watch out ! Overall we loved the experience we had! So many places to walk and take pictures! I knew it was busy due to the parking but it didn't feel as overcrowded since the space is so large ! Highly recommend everyone to bring their families !
