Julie’s Cafe

HANDS DOWN FAVE BREAKFAST IN THE AREA. Julie’s Café is truly the epitome of a hidden gem.
If I remember correctly, this is the place where I first tried a kale smoothie, and to this day it remains my fave kale smoothie of all. However, the real showstopper here is the julie’s special sandwich: eggs, bacon, spinach, onions, cheese, tomato on a perfectly toasted jalapeño cheese bagel.
I felt wild this one time and ordered a tuna melt. It was delicious but definitely heavier than the julie’s special. An occasional-​type order if you ask me.
Def gets busy on weekends. I’d suggest calling ahead to order if you’re planning on taking your food to-​go! The usual lady who works the cashier is so sweet; probably a real life angel.

Julie’s Café is a great place to have breakfast or even lunch!
I have been here multiple times and have always had great food and a great experience. Julie’s special is my go-​to order and it never lets me down. The kale and more smoothie is, what can I say, the best kale smoothie I’ve ever had.
They’ve recently upgraded their register. I used Apple Pay and it was a breeze.

This is my go to spot for bagels. They are so nice in there and the bagels are always fresh. They also make great bfast sandwiches with their bagels. A good combo is a pizza bagel julies special. They also make a good chocolate chip bagel if you want something sweet. The drinks they make are just as good. The mango smoothie tasted like it had real mango in it (not from concentrate). Whenever i dont have work I try to head to Julie’s for bfast. It’s quick, nearby and good.

Julie’s special is an omelette with onion, bacon bits, spinach, and cheese between a jalapeño cheese bagel. Interestingly, the bagel isn’t thick and bready like your classic bagel. It’s thinner and flatter, but larger than your average bagel. The taste and freshness of the bagel does not disappoint!
The kale and more smoothie is also super yummy. We got it without the yogurt if you’re dairy sensitive and it was very fresh and tasting. The kale is not overpowering and it isn’t sugar overload like some smoothies can be.
Ambiance is super casual and I LOVE THE OUTSIDE PATIO. It’s a cute covered area with potted plants surrounding and they play a variation of french music and other music that seems like you’re dining in another area.
Also, the lady at the counter… is so nice and sweet. Wouldn’t mind coming here time and again!

Service is important and nobody needs to deal with entitled attitude especially in the food industry I would rather use a machine to place my order (eating out is very much just paying a cost for convenience). My previous comments were really directed at the old lady with glasses not at you, but the very way you responded to this review, neglecting a critical review only further goes toward the work environment which probably also reflects the lives of the people that work here.
At the very least keep a neutral face or just don’t serve people. We don’t need to see negativity when we’re the ones investing in your business. Small businesses who don’t appreciate trade esp if you’re the business owner is probably in the wrong field. Might as well venture into something else instead

Bagel sandwiches are awesome. Tons of flavor. I always order a kale smoothie. This blended drink may look weird but its delish. The Julies special with a kale smoothie are my favorite. I brought a few of my friends recently and they loved the food.

Bagels 5+ jalapeño with cheese. $ 2 to go.
Toasted ½ with butter for breakfast. This IS the perfect bagel. The perfect on-​the-​go breakfast. Love. Also had the pizza bagel that would have been perfect with jalapeños. I’m certain these are homemade because of size, freshness, and not-​so-​perfect circumference. Thank you Julie for making my day. Everyday.

I love this place. I’m thinking about it for breakfast tomorrow morning as I type this at 9pm. When I feel like having GAINZ for my lunch or so, this is my go to place. If you want a sandwich, salad, or bagel, here’s your go to in DB. It’s also really healthy, and their options are great! They have lots of choices, their bagels are fresh, and their smoothies… soooooo amazing. I def love the KALE & MANGO smoothies. Those are seriously life-​changing. Julie, the owner, always greets you with the sweetest smile and soft voice, and it makes you just want to order everything on the menu.
I love their Julie’s special bagel, the lox bagel, and the tuna melt. TOP 3.
The only downside is that there is a wait, but only because they prepare their sammiches and bagels on the spot. Be prepared to wait about 15 – 20 mins, so the best thing to do is to call in even 5 – 10 mins before you arrive. Regardless, the first bite makes you forgive the wait. Go for it!

Its Monday morning. Recently they open from Monday through Saturday and you can’t say there is not enough business to be a gold mine. But now they’re closed Mondays. So… make others plans. Open Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri Sat.

Of of the 15+ years I have lived near Diamond Bar I never gave this place a chance until I seen the reviews on Unilocal.I am so happy I stopped by Saturday. They have a variety of fresh baked bagels & healthy smoothies. The Julie’s Special and Sausage jalapeño bagel were pretty darn good. Bagels were filling & priced around 5 – 6 bucks! This beats any fast-​food breakfast spot! Staff is on it, filling coffee and moving orders out the door fast. Will definitely be a regular!
Thank you Julie’s Café

My favorite place to go to start my day right.
All of their bagels and smoothies are great but my favorite are the Julie’s special and the kale smoothie. It sounds weird I know but you need to try them both to find out how good they are!
I would write more in detail about both items but you should just get them both and find out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

Best breakfast I had for a long time, everything is tasty, fresh and unique
I would definitely recommend it to anyone
It was my first time not gonna be the last of course
I tried the viggie on sesame, California on jalapeño cheese, melted turkey bagel and they were all amazingly good
Till next time :)

Thoroughly enjoy this place, and will definitely come back again! One of my best friends raves about this place, so naturally we decided to go there for a little catch-​up.
I came at 9 AM on a weekday, and it was already getting busy. Their bagels are AWESOME. They have a cabinet FULL of different flavors, and I simply couldn’t figure out which one to get! I ended up choosing the open-​faced vegetarian bagel (I’m not a fan of eggs) on an everything bagel. Bagel was nice and toasted, the staff is generous with their avocado portions, and I even got a little bit of fruit on the side. I will say, the bagel could have used a little pepper, but otherwise it was delicious.
Definitely want to come back to try more bagel flavorings, and I’ve heard so many good things about their kale smoothies! This also looks like a great study spot, especially if you come early enough to nab a seat – most people just order and leave. Until next time! GET A BAGEL. Seriously.

BLUF: Little breakfast shop with a variety of bagels and sandwiches. I went with the basic breakfast sandwich (eggs and cheese) with ham on a croissant and it was a solid ⁵⁄₅.
On the way back from the gym, I stopped by Julie’s Café to pick up some bagels for the family. (NOTE: orders of a half dozen or more bagels requires a preorder) I got three sesame, two jalapeño and one plain along with a breakfast sandwich for myself. All of this together totaled to $ 14.
The sandwich was delicious although it was very heavy with the cheese. Fortunately, I love cheese on my sandwiches so it was a plus for me.
The café is small and can seat around 20 – 25 people so during busy times, a to go would most ideal. Enjoy!

Wow! Best breakfast place around the area! Julie’s special is by far the best out of the items I’ve tried on the menu. The environment and the staff is very friendly and helpful. This is the type of place where you can catch up with a old time friend or spend intimate time with your significant other. The music matches the theme of the restaurant with a little jazz and piano to make everything calm and quiet.
I recommend this place for the people who are in love with bagels or healthy juices. Also, for the people who are early birds have a better chance to try because unfortunately they do close at 3 PM.
Try it and fall in love it like I have!

Bomb!
Came here on a Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised the wait wasn’t too long.
Got a Julie’s Special, a Californian (veggie avo), a kale smoothie, and a cup of coffee. The Julie’s Special and the Kale smoothie was, well, amazing!
Note store hours are from 7am-​3pm Tue to Sat effective November 16, 2015.

So it’s been about 20 minutes since I put my order in… And I still haven’t gotten my one bagel. There are only 4 other people in the café with me at the moment. Pretty unacceptable in my opinion.
UPDATE.
So I got my bagel and it was okay. Definitely really pricey and I could have easily made the same thing at home with a toaster oven. Even after waiting for so long, they forgot my kale smoothie too. Stay away.

I’ve been wanting to try this place out for a long time. Came in on a Monday but soon they won’t be open on Monday’s starting I believe on November 26^th they will be closed on Sundays and Mondays. It seems like a lot of places in Diamond Bar are close for Mondays and I’m not sure why since that is the first day of the week and I feel that more people would want to grab coffee, tea, sandwiches or juices on that day but they probably have a good reason for doing that.
The memorable things that I did order:
Kale Smoothie: Had a little bit of it and it tasted pretty bomb and super healthy. Loved it.
Roast Beef Sandwich: A good size for one person to eat, taste pretty good with the squaw bread. Yummy!
Open Face Bagels Veggie: Cucumber, Tomato, Avocado it comes with cream cheese. Didn’t get a cream cheese but got to choose the blueberry bagel. Super tasty.
A really cute family owned place that has been here for years and now I know why because they really put love and care into making everything that you order the right way even if you are allergic to certain things that are originally on it. Love that!

Julie’s was the perfect local eatery when I was craving a bagel sandwich! So glad they serve their breakfast sandwiches through lunch
on a weekday Julie’s gets PACKED during lunch & they apologize in advance if the wait is long for orders, so i wouldn’t advise coming on a time crunch
—julie’s special: it usually comes on jalapeño cheese bagel which i was thrilled about (you can choose another option if you cant handle the spice) YUM, the outside of the bagel was perfectly toasted
Next time i’m going to try the california breakfast sandwich (didn’t realize that each sandwich came with an omelet inside not just julie’s special until i looked through Unilocal photos). they also have salads & smoothies that i’ve yet to try
love the outdoor patio seating, there’s even an outdoor speaker so you can hear your name when your order is ready inside
NOTE: its 1.25 extra to add avocado to your sandwich

What a cute, cozy little café! Adorable decorations with the cutest display of teacups~ & The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly cashier.
Turkey Avocado sandwich on pizza bagel (⁵⁄₅) — drooool You can tell that the warm bagel was very freshly made. The pizza flavor gave it a nice twist. Amazing!
Also, get the kale smoothie. My friend ordered it and recommended that I do too. I wish I had !! (Stole hers since I never thought I’d say that I’d actually enjoy a kale smoothie)
