| - Julia's has been on my radar for the longest time. I finally got to visit it and see the greatness that I had been missing out on. My only gripe was that I did not allow myself a lot of time to sit and "browse". Basically went to meet a friend, have a coffee, and catch up. I did end up arriving 20min early and started perusing the used books after my hot mocha showed up on the counter.
The first thing I noticed when arriving is how people can easily miss this place if you aren't looking for it. My guess is that this place doesn't really survive due to it's location, but it's people and it's cozy, hip, environment.
My friend let me know that they have expanded, so I don't really have any previous experience with the original size of the place, but the size now is great! We met up and talked up in the loft area. I definitely liked going upstairs, viewing the artwork lining the walls and sitting up in the loft which gives you a great "nest" experience. Overall, Julia's is a great place to get some work done, people watching, and just hanging out.
I didn't give myself enough time to walk through the Habitat store, but looks like you can find a bunch of great treasures to put a little love and elbow grease on to make it something that much better.
