The Age Cheap Eats 2009 "Reject excess and head to minimalist Julio, a refuge of raw tones and natural light"
The Age Matt Preston, 16-9-2008 "Julio, the cafe, is a good-looking modern spot on a residential street corner opposite a schoolyard - hence the name. ... The brick-floored interior is full of handmade cabinetry, high wooden tables and stools with an ornate "J" carved on their seats, all lit by what might be a re-tooling of old art deco light fittings. During the week the cafe attracts local parents going solo with kids and work-from-home types"
