Julian is renowned for apple pies. In the old days there were enough Granny Smith apples to supply the local bakeries. Now most of the apples are imported. There are 3 main bakeries making pies. This day I visit Apple Alley Bakery.

Julian Beer Co.

I love visiting Julian. There is a friendly small town feel here. We drive up on weekdays when it is somewhat quiet.

Elite Experience at Candles on Tap

I remember the first candle I made. After driving through Lion Country Safari we went to the gift shop where they had a candle machine where you put in coins and you could watch as wax poured into a mold forming your candle.
Ocean Beach Farmers Market

Ocean Beach Farmers Market is only a few blocks from the beach and the weather was lovely at the end of summer. I loved the variety of vendors.
Island Life Foods

The sky was clearer and brighter than anywhere else I have been. The food bursting with exotic flavors. I miss Hawaii.
Ember & Rye

I loved this spot when it was Argyle Steakhouse. Now celebrity chef Richard Blais is running things. The first change I notice is valet parking is $5. Bummer as we always parked in the close spots the valet now is in charge of.
The Craft Creamery

I returned to Craft Creamery hoping to get more of the lemon marshmallow ice cream I picked up my first visit but it was not to be.
