Other Fun Things To Do In Julian, California

Dudley’s Famous Bakery & Deli

So technically Dudley’s Bakery is a few miles outside of Julian, but it is a must to stop on the way. There is a reason it is known as “famous” as they truly make the most amazing bread!

Since 1963, Dudley’s has been pumping out what seems like so many insanely delicious breads that you can’t leave without buying a few loaves to take home.

Oh, and make sure you get an extra loaf for the road as I promise you that it will be gone by the time you get home or back to your hotel!

Dudley’s has the freshest bread around with over 40 different flavors of bread and pastries…

Dudley's bread is incredibly addictive...
So many bread choices!
It is very hard to leave with only 1 loaf of bread...

My favorite has always been sourdough and jalapeno cheese but a popular one is the date nut raisin bread too.

It can be tough to narrow it down to a few but you can always freeze the loaves and enjoy them for months to come.

There is a deli counter on-site where you can have a sandwich made using the bread of your choosing. This makes for the perfect picnic meal to take to one of the apple orchards later in the day!

Address: 30218 Highway 78 (Julian Road), Santa Ysabel, CA 92070

Hours: Open 8:00 am to 3:00 pm Monday through Thursday and 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Friday through Sunday.

Taste Fresh Apple Cider

I’m not one to ever drink apple cider except when I am in Julian as it is by far the best fresh apple cider you will ever have.

They press the apples and bottle it so that you can drink it fresh the next day.

If you are at Volcan Valley Apple Farm, cool off with a cold bottle of apple cider that will delight your taste buds.

It is made with no preservatives, sugar, or anything other than apples. They may blend a few types of apples to get that dynamite flavor.

The apple cider from Apple Lane Orchards that I tried that day was made with Gala, Jonathan, and Gravenstein apples. You can also get this apple cider in town at various places.

Cool off with a fresh apple cider

Get A Slice Of Apple Pie

Eating apple pie is one of the best things to do in Julian! There are a handful of pie shops in town, but I believe the Julian Pie Company is the best!

I am not a fan of apple pie or apple desserts in general, but I do love the apple pie at the Julian Pie Company…

There is that certain combination of great apples, spices, and the perfect flaky crust that just makes for a delightful bite of pie.

The Julian Pie Company has been a town favorite since 1986 and owned by the Smothers family.

The Julian Pie Company has the best apple pie in town

The star of the pies is the Original Apple Pie, but they have an assortment of flavors to choose from if you want some variety.

The Dutch Apple has a crunchy crumb topping which is delicious and a tie for me personally with the Original.

There is an Apple Mountain Berry Crumb Pie, a Boysenberry Apple Crumb Pie, Cherry Apple Crumb Pie, Peach Apple Crumb Pie, and several berry pies with no apple.

Most likely there is a flavor you are bound to love.

Although apple pie is the most popular, there are many flavors to choose from!
Slice of original apple pie with a scoop of ice cream

How do you eat your apple pie? There is eating the pie as it is with no nothing on top or you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for “a la mode”.

And one that I thought sounded horrible before I tried it is a slice of melted sharp cheddar cheese on top! It is surprisingly so good…

Tips: Buy a slice to enjoy and get a pie to take home. There is a second location next to Dudley’s Bakery in Santa Ysabel too. My next favorite pie shop is Mom’s Pie Shop.

Address: 2225 Main Street, Julian, CA 92036

Hours: Open daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm

Grab A Cup Of Coffee

If you need a little pick me up post apple picking head down to Regulars Wanted Beanery for a cup of coffee.

The exterior, like many of the shops and restaurants in Julian, has that cottage house appearance that is reminiscent of visiting one’s grandmother’s house.

There is seating both indoors and out front on the patio that is an ideal place to enjoy the mountain air with a cup of coffee.

And it doesn’t hurt that the Regulars Wanted Beanery has excellent coffee!

After apple picking and maybe a nice meal, take a stroll along Main Street and wander in and out of the many shops.

The downtown of Julian encompasses all of about 4 blocks so you can’t get lost, and you won’t get exhausted either.

Each shop feels like you are stepping into a country store that hasn’t changed much over the years!

Walking Main Street almost look like it could be an old movie set
You don't see soda fountains often these days!
Inside the Warm Hearth shop

These shops have some touristy stuff but there are a lot of unique items that make for a perfect gift. Gifts that you just can’t get anywhere else.

The exterior of Julian really does look like an old western town where wooden sidewalks line Main Street and the common theme throughout every shop or restaurant is apples of course!

One of my favorite shops is The Warm Hearth next door to Mom’s Pie Shop.

Visit The Julian Cider Mill

Every year growing up I was always excited to visit the Julian Cider Mill for freshly pressed apple cider and fudge.

And I still am as an adult! It is one of those stores that has a nostalgia that I look forward to year after year.

The Cider Mill has been owned by the Slaughter family for over 45 years and is one place that requires a stop every fall.

Pick up some snacks, fudge and apple cider at the Cider Mill!

I admit I am a huge fan of using my kindle, especially when traveling but I do love the look and smell of a physical book.

As you leave Julian make your way to the Calico Cidery for a sip of some hard apple cider made with apples and pears from their orchard.

The Calico Cidery is family owned and they also have an orchard ranch where you can pick your own apples depending on the time of year.

Originally, they got started as a homestead property with a pear orchard and later added apples to the property.

Calico Cider Ranch has an assortment of yummy hard ciders!
An idyllic setting for a hard cider tasting...
The apple ciders are more translucent than the pear ciders

I ordered a tasting that included 4 different hard ciders, two made with apples, and two with pears. I enjoyed them all but preferred the ones with pears the most.

My favorite was the Quinceperry which is a cross between an apple and pear. The alcohol content ranges from 5% to 7.6 % depending on the cider.

The cidery is housed in a very cool open-air barn that has a saloon-style bar you can cozy on up to.

Or take your cider over to one of the tables with bales of hay as seating. If you find a cider you like, you can take a growler of it with you!

Where Is Julian Located?

Julian is in the Cuyamaca Mountains, about an hour east of downtown San Diego at an elevation of 4,235 feet.

Since Julian has a colder climate than the rest of San Diego County, they have the perfect environment to grow apples.

Julian might be one of the few if not only places in San Diego County that has the four seasons.

I think it is one of the draws for local San Diegan’s as we love our sunny year-round weather, yet we crave the crispness of an autumn day…

Post with signs in every direction for where to go

It is the place for fall foliage and leaf-peeping each year. Because it is at a higher elevation, it can vary in temperature more than near the ocean.

Even if it is a hot day in San Diego, always bring a jacket and umbrella as the weather can change quickly. No matter the time of year, Julian is the perfect escape from San Diego that you don’t want to miss!

If you are visiting in October, find out where to find a pumpkin to carve at the best pumpkin patches around.

Tip: Julian is also one of the few places that can get snow in San Diego County so it can be a great winter weekend trip too.

Funny Apple Picking Memory

Traveling for me is all about the unique, funny, and random things that stick in our memory for years to come.

As I have been coming to Julian every year since I was a kid, I have many wonderful memories but one year stood out!

That year my parents and I came to Julian where my dad decided to wear shorts and a T-shirt adamant, he didn’t need pants or a jacket. Once we reached Julian the weather changed, getting freezing temps and rain.

My parents were not stoked on the apple picking at that point, but my stubbornness persisted, and my dad took me while my mom waited in the car.

The things a father will do for his child… He practically froze and earned the nickname “shaky legs”.

Visiting Julian in apple season is a yearly event...

By the time we got into town, I kid you not the entire town was sold out of apple pies except for one piece!

And who do you think got it? That’s right, my parents let me eat most of it but they looked on with envy…

The rain continued to get worse and as we were leaving town the windshield wipers failed.

Let’s just say it was a long ride home as my dad had to drive with his head outside the window to navigate us home…

But don’t worry, after visiting Julian almost every year for decades I have always had excellent weather minus that one time.

And even though that one trip may sound like a disaster, I had the best time and still laugh about it today.

Empire apples have a pale pink hue to them

  • As it can get warm, have a reusable water bottle with you to avoid dehydration.
