"The back patio at Julie’s is your aspirational Pinterest garden board come to life. It’s got succulents poking out of every available surface, plenty of picnic tables and seating, and (most of the time) functioning wifi—ideal for a quiet coffee date or a morning spent typing away on a spreadsheet. Aside from being an escape from whatever growing weekly errands list you have going on, Julie’s also serves fantastic espresso drinks and daytime dishes, like gooey grilled cheese, refreshing salads, and flawless scones.
