Julienne Fine Foods and Celebrations has grown from a small café with three tables to a beloved social and culinary destination. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we look forward to continuing to be a part of your daily routine, family celebrations, and special occasions. Whether you’re ordering a latte from the Café, a to-go meal from the marketplace, attending a Summer Dinner, or buying a gift for a special someone, we hope you know how much we appreciate your continued patronage.

A note from Julie
People have always been the key ingredient in Julienne’s enduring success. Whether long-time customers, dedicated employees, or trusted vendors, there's a certain magical alchemy that unfolds whenever someone walks through our doors. People often say they feel transported…elsewhere.
After 40 years, Herbert still remembers your coffee order, the Kitchen Manager continues to keep a watchful eye over every bit of food, the long-term Management Team ensures that the next generation of employees are well versed and trained on Julienne Core Values. A number of employees who were once young consumers now proudly serve behind the deli cases. And even my nieces learned the art of customer service working throughout their high school years-(actually-earlier!)
When I think of all the people who have passed through the doors over these 40 years, I smile. And when I receive handwritten letters from both customers and parting staff complimenting and thanking the staff, service, ambiance, and the Julienne Culture, my heart smiles. These personal connections foster a genuine sense of belonging, continuity, and well-being. As I always say, “We need each other!”
As a San Marino native, my roots in this community run deep. Julienne Fine Foods and Celebrations continues to evolve organically, shaped by our customers, dictated by external circumstances and subsequent opportunities. We “Pivot, Re-imagine and Keep Going”. Collectively, we aspire to remain relevant in our community for decades to come.
We aspire to remain relevant in our community for decades to come.
Many thanks to all whose presence makes Julienne special.
May we continue to Celebrate the blessings of life and each other.
Kind Regards,
Julie A. Campoy Proprietor
