About Us

When you visit Southern California, don’t miss the opportunity to visit a charming turn-of-the-century home built in 1898 for the gold miner Clarence King.  Julian Tea & Cottage Arts is located in the historic gold mining town of Julian, a quaint village of authentic old-west styled buildings nestled in the mountains amidst pine and oak forests just a scenic hour’s drive from San Diego.

You will find us at 2124 Third Street, one block off Main Street between Washington Street and B Street. Julian Tea is open 5 days a week from 10 AM to 4 PM (closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays) for shopping and indoor and outdoor food service with preorder reservations and preorder To Go orders.
