"While I enjoy the smell of roasted coffee beans, I usually only consume caffeine in small amounts found in good quality dark chocolate, as recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil. Julie's offers a variety of hot drinks, including coffee, espresso, tea lattes, and hot chocolate, as well as iced drinks like iced tea and iced coffee. They also have unique specialty drinks such as ginger lemon brew, kombucha, and lavender lemonade. In addition to beverages, Julie's also serves food with a menu perfect for brunch. They use organic, locally grown ingredients and offer many vegan and gluten-free options. I tried the Vitality Latte with oat milk and no honey, topped with cinnamon, as well as an organic vegan Mexican chocolate cookie. Both were delicious and I could feel the rejuvenating effects of the drink. The atmosphere at Julie's is peaceful and bucolic, making it a great place to bring your laptop to work remotely or study. However, please note that on weekends from 8am to 2pm, laptops and WiFi are not permitted, as the cafe tea garden is meant to be cellphone-free. This unplugged time is a refreshing break from the modern world and helps create a focused energy in the space. Overall, I highly recommend Julie's Coffee Tea Garden for a unique and relaxing coffee shop experience. I look forward to trying more of their menu offerings in the future. It's important to find a balance between technology and unplugged time, and Julie's provides a perfect opportunity to do so."

"I had lunch here a few years back when it was a walk in cafe with my 6 year old daughter. The owner, a bald, grumpy, Romulan face from Star Trek looking muchacho with a bad attitude really laid into my little girl for spilling her soda and forced her to clean it up yelling something like; do you know how much those floors cost !!?? she started to cry but told me later that the man 's face was weird and scary and that 's what made her cry. I wanted to kick his a right there but did not want to set a bad example to my little girl or get arrested for assault! thankfully they went out of business at that corner spot i 'm sure the reason being the owner...we 'll years later I went to a party and lo and behold, catering by Bittersweet. the sandwich i ate was kind 'a stale, tasted like a Safeway sandwich...anyway next day BAM ! serious diarrhea ! it was so darn bad I had to go to an urgent care and get some antibiotic 's...they said I was lucky to be alive after all that bacteria in my belly...they probably recycle the food the nurse told me. my primo wrote a google review just recently after I did because he loves my little girl so much and was very angry about it after we told him what had happened those years past. in Response to the owner , I am having a hard time understanding , you say you are the owner , your face is the weird faced man who yelled at my girl but the name is not the same as him, his name says Jody and you are Jeffrey .A therefore this does not add up. Also it is important to let people know of such things that is why we have Yelp and Google reviews in the first place."
