Julian Tea & Cottage Arts

Tea from A to Z 2124 Third Street

http://www.juliantea.com/ A charming tea shop tucked into an older downtown Julian structure, you can purchase tea in all its forms here - as a drinkable beverage served with classic tea tidbits, dry oolongs, herb teas and classic black teas to brew in your own home, or prettily packaged in baskets for gift-giving. The shop stocks a full selection of porcelain teacups and teapots, plus kettles, tea strainers and almost anything that can be used in the civilized ritual of afternoon (or anytime) tea.

United States
+1 619 325 4445
http://www.livingroomcafe.com Located in a vintage wood-frame house, this comfortably furnished coffeehouse also offers an elevated, street-side patio area for sipping and people watching. A popular cram spot for students from the nearby Nazarene College, it also attracts tourists from the many nearby motels and residents from the fine old houses off the side streets. Coffee is king here or you could try the Iced Cafe Mazatlan on a hot day. You can also order Quiche Lorraine and Chicken Wellington, Baked Brie en Croute, breakfast dishes, sandwiches and salads, all extremely reasonably priced.
