Curiosity encouraged. Reality optional.

Apparently no dessert offered so I called and they said that we can “order additional items” from their menu (apparently they do have desserts on the menu but they are extra so bring cash if you would like to order more sweets). The “dessert” is a Danish, scone and 1/2 biscuit so it might be enough (TBD)
Looks like a “set menu” but they do offer a vegetarian option.

## April In Paris Teas – 2025

## Oui oui, it is true! Our très populaire April In Paris Teas will be served indoors and are also available To Go. The set menu is a Parisian inspired version of our Cottage Classic Tea, a lavish four course soiree starting with a cup of soup, then a variety of finger sandwiches and savories, followed by a scone with curd, jam and whipped cream, and the grand finale is a luscious dessert tray. We can also prepare Vegetarian and Gluten Free versions of this Tea with advance notice, so let us know your specific needs when you make your reservation.

The town of Julian has many small shops & you can buy wonderful apple & fruit pies at the bakeries. It is in a remote little town that is about an hour northeast of San Diego. They have excellent scones.

I have been here before and it is wonderful. Also it is a bit of a drive and best to get there early to find parking. The small town is easy to find and everything is within walking distance - plenty of street parking but might have to walk a little. If you would like vegetarian or have a special diet put a comment in the comment section below so I can let them know in advance. Thank you!
