I have occasionally eaten at Juliennes prior to Covid19. This quaint locale is very popular for French cuisine. It is hardly a quick bite. There is always an expected wait for a table because it is a popular local favorite. Since Covid-19, they closed the restaurant dining area [it is now utilized as storage]. Although the Marketplace still exists, this quaint restaurant has been converted to an open Cafe. Unfortunately, with the changes, the Cafe seemed discombobulated. The wait is longer and the menu limited. Short staffed, you have baristas who also take your orders for dine-in. I waited 35 minutes for my Latte, which tasted good. I waited an additional 30 minutes for my Quiche. While my quiche was delicious, the Almond Croissant tasted and felt more like a scone [heavy, neither soft or flakey]. Although I was informed that the croissant was baked fresh that morning, it hardly seemed fresh [i.e. The Provisional is a prime example of croissants]. Due to the long wait, suggestion: call ahead and order for take-out or visit the Marketplace for some tasty items. Like myself, several people were unaware of the changes and were disappointed as I was.

Authentic and Wonderful place!The place for romantic meetings in San Marino. Very close to Pasadena.I like that cafe.

They have changed a little to become a take out style place. You can still sit and eat and they have their coffee bar, but they adapted to best fit our current situation and it has worked better for them. The place is absolutely adorable and the people are friendly, very helpful and sweet. I love the vibe the place has, an elegant homey feel that works as opposed to a sterile cold attempt to be fancy.

What a lovely place to enjoy breakfast!!Excellent coffee, tea, and ambience.AND, what a store inside. Amazing.

Absolutely gorgeous Place. Top-notch service. High quality foods and products he can get busy on the weekends for sure and it can definitely be a little crowded inside if youre just trying to browse around. But do yourself a favor grab yourself some food grab a table outside and just sit and enjoy. Its a Hidden Gem

The ruddest servers in South Pasadena. The woman taking my order barked at me because I asked for an item that included in my order and she wanted to charge extra. After reading the menu she didnt correct herself or apologized for the mixup. I dont mind paying extra but she was rude. You just lost a customer.

I truly felt as if I was in a cafe in countryside France. The atmosphere and food were wonderful! My wife had the seafood pasta and it was good, her only comment was that the sauce was not as thick as she would have expected from a creme sauce. But it was tasty.I had the beef sandwich. It was really great! The beef was tender and the juices soaked into the bread; Along with the blue cheese, it was unbelievably delicious. The best thing was the French Fries. They were the best we have ever had!Definitely on my favorites list now!

Heard so much about this place from our friends in our neighborhood. We also wanted to visit this place and have breakfast here to reminisce our Paris trip in the past.But when got there this morning, we found out that they only serve a few items for breakfast during this covid time. We went inside the pastry shop to see what we can get to take out. Looked like they don’t have much on offer. We were totally disappointed as we have planned this visit for awhile and so looking forward to dine here. I did managed to get a piece of quiche to go.We also browsed the store where they sell a lot of cooking products. They have a lot of charming and neat French products in stock. I believe this is a good place to get your French cooking ingredients.I guess we have to wait until the Pandemic is over to fully enjoy what they have to offer for French fair.

An amazing restaurant the owner is so kind and the food is absolutely incredible homemade and delicious the best chicken chili white bean youve ever eaten in your life a Five Star Plus for sure

The food is exceptional. Service quick, friendly and helpful. So many incredible choices, you will not be disappointed

To be honest, the food was a little bland. The service was good. The wait was a little on the long side. The sandwiches were fresh, but a tad boring. The french toast was really good, but be forewarned, it has the consistency of bread pudding. The strawberry and chocolate waffles were good. If you eat in the patio, its charming, but slanted and can be a little tight depending on where youre at on the patio. The rosemary bread they serve is marvelous!It is charming and the store is nice. It was nice enough, but I probably wouldnt go out of the way for it again. However if I found myself in the area, Id definitely go back and try something else. I like to give a place two shots before I decide its not for me.

Food and service were outstanding. I had the swordfish with mashed potatoes and asparagus...it warmed my soul. definitely returning. They also have a cute store attached to the restaurant.

This is where my favorite food ever is! Although, everything that I have eaten here is amazing. Super high quality in bother the ingredients, and in the preparation of the dishes. It is expensive though. My favorite food here is the lemon noodles.

So disappointing to still be eating with plastic cutlery and out of a plastic box! My truffle egg salad ($12 on the menu) came in a plastic box with a label saying Plain Chicken with Thyme $7.50. Only my glass of sparkling wine was delicious and came in a real glass. Thank Goodness.

This is a local neighborhood restaurant beautiful French appeal food is always exceptional. My favorite salad is the spa chicken an of course there famous chicken sandwich on rosemary bread . Early breakfast is great there a late lunch around 3pm is lovely. Venture into there gift shop love the candles & diffuser.

One of the best places to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. I love coming here for brunch and sitting outside. They have a charming ambiance, with fantastic food. My personal favorite is their Julienne Chilaquiles. Delicious!

Walking into this place was like getting transported to Paris! What a neat little spot to plot down and have an iced coffee on a hot day. Skip the Starbucks and come here instead.

Ive heard good things about Julienne and Im glad I was able to see stop by for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Its tightly tucked deep in San Marino and its not where youd think it is. The breakfast menu isnt that expansive so youre only limited to a few items. For the two of us, we shared their green omlette and their creme brulee French toast. I honestly love their French toast me then their omlette. Its spongy with a hint of sweetness. The omlette on the other hand was a let down. I felt the egg was overcooked so at first bite, the egg was hard. In addition, there was not that much flavor in the omlette itself, probably because theres no meat in it. The salsa that came with the omlette made it a bareable but I would not order it the next time around.

Lovely mimosas. Tasty smoked salmon. Great ambience

4.5 Stars.Great spot recommended to us by a friend. Much larger insider than imagined, with a partner deli next door. I ordered the Chilaquiles w/chicken sausage & my beautiful wife ordered the spinach and cheese pie w/bacon & eggs.Good was very good w/well balanced flavors. My primitive pallet always wants more spice & salt. Wife loved it, I thought it was good but too uppity for my neanderthal low brow tasts.

Great service and great food burger 👍🏻baby spinach and beets 👍🏻

Thanks for the great food. Especially the shrimp and cookies.

I’ve been coming here for years with my family as well as my boyfriend. The atmosphere is my favorite part... Elegant and classy, reminiscent of being back in Europe. The food is delicious, both breakfast and lunch. This chicken salad I had was amazing, and so is their coffee. Their rosemary currant toast is delicious! Croissants as well! The parking is easy when it’s not slammed, the tables outside have heating and you’re surrounded by plants. The service is great, there’s always someone attentive coming by to refill coffee. This is a great spot for birthday breakfast, families, even a date. Their breakfast ends kind of early (10:45am on weekdays I believe) so make sure you get there early enough!

Always serving great food. Love their Rosemary Raisin bread.

Wonderful food and service! We had the sandwiches and yogurt parfait.

Cute restaurant with bakery and specialty store in San Marino, very close distance to South Pasadena. Came at 9 am on a Saturday morning with no wait for a table but there were definitely folks waiting for tables after 10 am. Service and food was good - Salmon Hash pictured below. They also serve delicious bread with jam and butter. Our waiter was attentive in refilling our coffees. I easily found street parking and heard there is parking lot nearby.

No waiters. You peruse the menu (which is very limited), place your order and pay at the counter. Someone brings the food out. Quality is still there but we can’t wait for them to really open

Nice ambiance. Very good good.

Used to be a great place to have breakfast/ brunch. Now there is no wait staff or service and definitely NOT CHILD FRIENDLY! I can’t believe they don’t have a single high chair

This spot has both indoor and outdoor dining (outdoor is a cute patio area) whereas the indoor overlooks part of the bar. They dont have a Yelp waitlist but they seat you quite quickly, once you put your name down (~10-15 minute). The menu has both sweet and savory options (opted for the savory, and got a delicious omelette).

The menu is totally different. Ordinary good served “picnic style”. I’m taking back one of my stars.

Fantastic as always. Great selection of top quality food to grab and go or enjoy on the patio. In addition to the great food, the team at Julienne is amazing. So friendly and helpful. We look forward to our next visit. Thanks! And cant wait until your dining area is completely reopened...

Enjoyed a fabulous breakfast of Chilaquiles (fried tortilla strips) laced with mild tomatillo sauce and scrambled eggs. Of course, we started off our meal with sharing a couple of lemon curd (brule) scones and coffee. Be prepared, waiting time is 15 to 20 minutes since they do not take reservations; parking is limited to a small parking lot and street parking. Top your visit off with a stop in their take out shop and gift shop. A bit on the expensive side but worth the treat for a special occasion.

Dogs are not allowed on their patio. I’ve never heard of such a thing.

Excellent service though the grilled salmon hash and coffee slightly underwhelmingBeautiful decor

Beautiful place! We came here for brunch and totally loved their brule french toast!!!! Very soft n moist with perfect sauce. Chocolate waffles didnt taste so fresh for some reason, taste just didnt seem right maybe to doughy not sure just wasnt right....we also tried the vegie omelet and that was pretty delicious. Service was ok. Best thing to me was they have a cafe next door which is part of the restaurant, they had very good cookies and brownies! And best jam ever! Im very picky about jams and they seem to be right on! I would recommend this place, not bad but if u want more of breakfast items you must be here before 11am. Will stop by again when in town.

This is the cutest place.. They have beautiful house things like napkins and awesome candles just things and they have salads and croissants.. Just go and check it out.. They have great things for your Thanksgiving table or birthday.. Support them, they are in the neighborhood!

One of my favorite places in the SGV. A true gem. Even with covid closing their main business the store is going strong and has many exotic to non exotic items. Like walking into a little Parisian store (but better)

Love, love. Miss, dining there Service & atmosphere only topped by food! Feel like Im in the South of France w out the travel! My Birthday Valentine lunch was so special here! Thank you for a quality menu & market!

Disappointing Service with an air of disdain. OK lunch of quiche and French onion soup. Nice atmosphere sitting out on sidewalk. This place came highly recommended.I gave them 2 stars because of TERRIBLE SERVICE from waiter and busboy!Slow to respond to simple requests for butter and water and argumentative when confronted. Luckily, the poor service did not dampen a fun New Years lunch out with the girls and the food was good. Best part of this lunch was the company.

Trifecta of service, food, and ambiance makes this a perfect dining spot

My favorite breakfast place in San Marino! Theyre usually pretty spot on with the temperature, but my sunny side up was definitely overcooked this time. Otherwise, the spinach gruyère pie was delicious. Would still recommend this place for sure!

Tried the breakfast food from this place with one other person. Specials for each day and each week are different from the next. Food is somewhat overpriced. The market next door sells many interesting goods that are not normally sold in general stores; expensive as many are imported goods from Europe. My friend purchases dark chocolate from Barcelona Spain and Iceland; he had only seen the latter sold once before at a different store. I plan to return to purchase gift items from the market, not the food.

Still my favorite place to get cookies and other yummy sweets. always love their seasonal decorations.

Had high hopes for this place but it turned out to be a one time thing...food is mediocre. Too much hype!!!

The wait staff is amazing, the ambience is wonderful and the food is outstanding! Perfect for a lunch out with friends. Outdoor seating is just lovely!

Love their cookies. Cant wait to eat on the patio once things are back to normal

Ive been going here since around 2004 and I am still enjoying it.

Excellent! Quick and friendly service

Great service, great environment and AMAZING food! Love the bakery and store too!

Ive been going to Julienne for years and have never been disappointed. The egg salad sandwich is to die for and my delicious breakfast tacos are a new favorite. My Mom got the pumpkin spice pancakes and those were incredible as well. If you get certain breakfasts, you get their rosemary currant bread, which is the best bread with a meal Ive ever had. The gift shop is wonderful with all kinds of seasonal goodies and deli salads and all kinds of fun things. Give this place a go.

Don’t bring your toddlers..because they don’t have high chairs...

Pretty good place. A lot of nice things that you can find. Good gift for family and friends. Pastry, soups, candies, chocolate. Nice patio.

This site is my number one restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this restaurant. Whenever I want to go to a special meal, this place comes immediately to my mind. very good and varied food and a rich cuisine.well mannered staff, and pleasant spirit. Also, the bill is affordable. I sent my friends to this place with pleasure.

Top of the line on my list. Ive recently discovered this gem which has actually been in business for many years. You can not go wrong with any of the food they cater, whether you are planning to entertain or just for yourself. Menus are well designed and exquisitely prepared and come with directions on how to reheat the food. They have a restaurant, a gift shop and catering market. Staff is friendly and helpful to make sure you are a happy customer and you will keep coming back. I highly recommend it.

This little gem of a store and eatery was a super fun find. We enjoyed some deserts and were pleased with it all. Walking through the store was so enjoyable, even during this uneasy time.

I have been coming to Julienne for more than 15 years and have loved everything they made and should have given them many 5-star reviews!I dropped by yesterday to pick up a few of my favorites - scones, lemon meringue tarts and a few sandwiches.I was disappointed that the lemon meringue tarts have soggy crusts, which never happened once before; additionally, their once buttery and wonderfully airy scones have become bready and lack-luster...PLEASE go back to doing things the way you used to!

Excellent menu, each item thoughtfully prepared. Service is flawless. Prices are very reasonable.No wonder theyre always so busy! Seriously, have reservations or be ready to wait.

No longer have table service

Yesterday I had the open face egg salad sandwich with truffle oil. It was lacking in truffle flavor. I have also previously had the quiche, onion soup, various types of salad and lamb sandwich. The food tastes average to above average, so it doesnt really justify the high prices. I mostly come back here because I like the ambience.

The front staff lied to our face. My wife and I asked whether we could be seated in a slightly larger table and the front staff told us that they cant seat a couple there as the table can accommodate 4 people - which is understandable. How surprised were we when the same front staff seated the next couple at this exact table! Some customers seem to be treated differently. There are plenty of other dining options in the area with the same quality of food and better service. We wont be back.

Delicious food - beautiful setting

Good coffee☕Always a pleasant experience. 🎄

Very elegant and convenient spot. They provide big portions and for economical prices. We loved the menu very much and the staff members were super attentive and explanatory. Recommended.

Excellent lunch. Meat loaf perfect for a chilly day. Followed by a share of the chocolate cake. None of us ate til the next day! Service excellent. Did the job with alacrity. I don’t care for waiters who talk a lot. He took care of things without asking and interrupting. Great.

I visit this place a lot since I work nearby. I like how their service is always fantastic and they keep the place well kept consistently. Prices are convenient and they serve generous portions.

I actually enjoy their food and customer service, awesome area to where I live. The cashiers are always very nice. Would recommend to others.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. We loved the excellent ambience and the menu. The staff members are very friendly. I am content we eventually decided to visit this spot.

Very old world atmosphere. Delicious food. You may have to wait to be seated.

Heard a lot about this restaurant. My wife and I ate there recently. The food and service were good. Our overall experience was positive except one thing when we got the bill.We can’t believe that we were charged beverage prices for ordering hot water. I asked the waiter about the charge but he gave some lame excuse that his owner was out of town and can’t reverse the charge.I hope that this “practice” does not represent the restaurant policy especially for such a successful establishment. If it is true, I am utterly disappointed.I was going to give a high rating in my review but this action by the restaurant staff puts a bad taste in our mouths.

I’d like to say I love this place but it does not have any vegan food unless you specify ask for it. Most of the food are American diet which is so unhealthy. But very cute ambient and nice little shopping area. You can also buy some sandwiches to go for picnic during summer, if you are not vegan.

This is by far one of the best hidden jems. Definitely recommend this place. I would drive here in a rainy day for over an hour just to have a nice cappuccino and most delicious breakfast. Atmosphere of most authentic French cafes. Greatest customer service. Price?! Customer service and quality exceeds expectations. Just remember breakfast stops at 10:45 am so hurry up. Place can be really busy and wait time can take up 45 min but worth every minute.

Food was satisfying. Its nice to sit on the patio. Good variety of dishes. My seafood pasta dish was yummy, mostly salmon and some shrimp. The sandwiches are great and good size, too. The rosemary and the cranberries in the bread clashed for my taste, but it was still good, because it was very fresh.

Our first time there, but heard they were amazing for years. Finally made the drive over. We enjoy take-out and dining at home, so we brought home the delicious chicken tenders (lovely and light, not salty, and come with their homemade apricot sauce-delicious), the chicken enchiladas (very homemade tasting and not salty), chicken salad sandwiches, the works. We froze most of what we bought and ate like kings for 2weeks by cutting up fruit or making a fresh salad and putting it alongside Julianne’s entries.My only suggestion for Julienne’s and ALL purveyors of made-to-go salads: DROP the salt! If you use vinegar, you don’t need salt, too. For your faro salad, add mint instead.Beyond the salt issue, which seems to be common at a lot of restaurants, Julienne’s offers fabulous, clean, original, well prepared hearty dishes.

Fantastic. Great food and service. Wonderful place to have lunch. Everyone who works there is so nice and their caesar salad is the best.

Very nice! Big sandwiches so we shared. Chicken tarragon salad on their famous rosemary bread is so good.

Hate to talk about it, its so good. Service (Martin, host; Juan, waiter)The best food done just right. No wait at 1pm for lunch. Lunch with two glasses of wine, parmesan encrusted swordfish, lamb sandwich (huge), salad for two of scallops and shrimp, including tip: $100. Saturday Brunch from 7:30 $20 each.

Very good, fine food. Very nice up scale dining. Great place for weekend brunch, but be prepared to wait a bit at peak times, or visit a little off of peak times.And dont forget to go inside and visit the deli and bakery also, and yes, they do cater.

Our dishes were delicious, Monday special ling cod, scallop pesto pasta, and pumpkin bread pudding were yummy. Cant wait to go back again :)

Fantastic location and amazing food!

Delicious food. Friendly table service...but not as friendly hostess. Store has additional fun finds. Overall nice experience.

This is the perfect brunch spot! Ive loved everything Ive had off their menu, and their specials are wonderful. The ambiance is also lovely -- its in a cute neighborhood and theres lots of outdoor seating (Ive actually never sat inside the restaurant!) If youre looking for an adorable brunch place, look no further!

Heard about this place from friends and we were not disappointed! Make sure you’re there early to get a nice table. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Food is top notch, hats off to the chef and staff. Would eat here everyday if I could.

I have been going to this restaurant now for the past 4 years and never, no never, have I ever been disappointed and its lunch or brunch. Besides the fact that it is in the lovely town of San Marino and that you get to view ladies who lunch, with their very expensive Shoes and Handbags, this restaurant is in an old building with a wonderful Deli and bakery attached. I recommend the parmesan Swordfish with the mashed potatoes and the caramelized lamb sandwich. Really truly you cannot go wrong with anything that you eat at this restaurant. It is all well prepared, well presented, and absolutely scrumptious. Make sure you leave room for the Homemade Bakery treats like the lemon bars !

Great meal, beautiful place in a nice neighborhood/ location. A bit on the pricey side. Ur you get what you pay for. My coffee btw was amazing!

I love the people that work in the bakery and deli area . They deserve a 5. The coffee is good a 4. In my opinion best coffee in San Marino. It is romantic, fun, and beautiful. Ambience is 5. Sometimes when I want to treat myself I come here for croissants and coffee. The food selection in the restaurant section is average a 3.

Delicious food and high quality but the wait can be brutal. Check out to-go options or the next door area with great food choices too. If you do wait though, food is fresh and tasty and the service is good. Can be on pricier side.

The most unique restaurant withLunch on the terrace. Beautiful setting.The food was outstanding.The owner came over to introduce herself and explained to us the history and how long they have been at that location.Great experience.

Breakfast is very tasty! Great quiche and great french toast. They were out of the creme brûlée french toast wish highly disappointed two in our group. The wait was approximately 25 minutes for breakfast on a Wednesday so keep that in mind. They also do not take reservations for small parties. All in all great food.

Awesome food, helpful employees, always great mood. They charge affordable rates and the food quality is great. Fantastic work.

Fresh, delicious food, lovely atmosphere, beautiful outdoor dining. Servers and chefs are kind, calm, and everything is served timely and fresh.

Absolutely a place worth visiting, the food is fantastic and well prepared, the prices are fair and it is always clean in here. 5 stars.

I love the location and the atmosphere was very Attractive and welcoming. But, I didnt get to try the food or espresso drinks. Left a little disappointed. First I was told a table was available in 2 minutes but waited more than ten. Then we get seated and order a latte but the machine was broken. Ok fine. Orange juice and coffee was ok. Menu looked great. When the server came to take our order we asked for the croque monsieur and the spinach pie. They did not have that available. Plan b. The server let us know that three more of the items were also not available which included our second choice and third choice. Being in the industry I know that there will be some glitches but communication is essential. I would of not been as disappointed if the server had let us know the items that werent available when he told us the cappuccino machine was broken.Having wasted time. And really not left with many choices my boyfriend and I decided to pay for our coffee and juice and go elsewhere. They didnt charge for the drinks. We hope to come back and give them another chance. Like I mentioned before the menu looked great. Just need work on having items available and communication to the guests.

It was ok. The bread was not fresh. The tomato soup needed much support from salt and pepper to have a taste. The pastry was good and the sevice was excellent. I think they should add more substance to the sandwich when they charge so much for a 1/2 size.

I love this place for breakfast! The candied bacon and scone are delicious. The staff is very friendly and treat you well. They have a shop next door with food options to go. The lunch here has is not very great for me.

Greatest breakfast and lunch place In all LA. It is attractive with wonderful outdoor seating. The food is fresh, beautifully prepared and delicious. The staff has been there for years and give excellent service.

Cant go wrong coming here. Food is Delicious, customer service is great and the place has character. Definitely keep coming!

The customer service is regularly speedy, good mood, very friendly employees. Will visit here again when I arrive in the area.

This place is like a mini Mediterranean vacation. Fantastic venue, outdoor dining, great food, great service. Very much San Marino old-world charm with a fresh twist. This is one of my favorite places in the Pasadena orbit.

Really crowded and wont take reservations for less than 6 people. Just made it for breakfast and felt a little rushed because of the crowds. Food was really good.
