About Julie’s Cafe Bakery

Hi! I’m Laura, and I’ve been sharing recipes and helpful culinary tips at Julie’s Cafe Bakery since 2021. It started as a hobby, but I soon realized that blogging could become a full-time job.

Today, Julie’s Cafe Bakery brings together food and cooking enthusiasts from all over the US and beyond. With more than 100k monthly readers, we’ve shown that we produce helpful content and easy-to-follow recipes.

In addition to recipes, I share tips on how to add a twist to classic homemade dishes, how to elevate pre-made meals, guidance on optimal food pairings, and strategies for preserving or repurposing leftovers. I also frequently visit restaurants, so don’t be surprised if I share what impressed me about their menu. If something dazzles me, I’ll definitely try to make a copycat recipe!

Our History

I started this food blog with my grandma Julie.

Julies Cafe Bakery About

As she was a mother of two, she didn’t go to work. Instead, she managed to develop many tasty recipes that I was happy to learn from her. Thanks to her culinary lessons during babysitting, I discovered my passion at an early age.

Her specialties are traditional Mediterranean dishes, such as fish soups, roasted lamb, and pasta with meat sauce.

My specialty? Improvising and adding some twists to Julie’s specials. 🙂

Meet the Team

As the blog grew over time, there was a need to expand the team. Currently, along with me, there are five wonderful women working on the blog. Here’s who they are:
