Lemon Tree Cafe

I try just about every quiche in Las Vegas. This place was next on my list and I was looking forward to it. At $14 for a piece, it is one of the more expensive places in this town. Unfortunately I did not have a great experience. My wife's order was wrong, my coffee was wrong, and the quiche was abysmal. I couldn't even cut it with a knife because the bottom was about a quarter inch of burned crust as you can see in the pictures. I returned the plate after one bite fearing that I would chip my teeth on the rest of it showing them how burned it was. The manager was very nice, acknowledged that the quiche was burned, and came over and said she would refund us for our meal. I explained that my wife's eggs were not scrambled as she had ordered and was told she would take care of it. I returned all our food to the counter and we left. When I got back to my office I noticed that out of the nearly $50 charge, only $33 was refunded. So I called for clarification. I was told that she didn't think I had a problem with our coffees so she didn't refund those. I would have taken my coffee if I was going to be charged for it. Don't tell a customer you're going to refund their bill if you're not going to refund their bill and you're going to be cheap. I really wanted to like this place because it's just south of the house a couple blocks. Unfortunately two incorrect orders, a quiche with a crust made of concrete, and misleading statements from the manager have left a very bad taste in my mouth. If I was refunded in full as promised I would have probably held this review and gone a second time because anyone can have a bad day and I believe in a second chance. I will not be giving this place another chance. It's a shame because the quiche did seem like it was pretty good above the burnt part. I have one day off a week that I like to spend enjoying a quiche and a coffee with my wife too bad this wasn't a pleasant experience. Only after calling the manager did she say she would refund the cost of the rest of the meal. Frankly if it was my shop, as I do in my own businesses, if a customer has an issue due to poor quality or a mistake on our end, I go above and beyond to do right by the customer right away. I don't nickel and dime. Trust me when I say this has zero to do with the actual money. I was apologized to and I appreciate that but it unfortunately doesn't erase the experience.

I discovered Lemon Tree via Instagram. We went for Breakfast. We ordered the Croissant breakfast sandwich & ABC Omelette. Both were delicious. What we liked most was it was not salty for both items. The ambiance was classy and comfortable. The staff was friendly & welcoming. Will definitely be back for lunch to try other menu items.

Experience/Environment: This place is aesthetically pleasing to the nines. From the second you walk in: spacious, pretty colors, plenty of comfortable seating; to neatly stocked desserts in glass refrigerator, water and utensils station, bar, and a FULL market with all the fixins. Price: You’re 100% paying for the esthetics. My golden latte was about $7 and unfortunately it wasn’t special. My coworker got a few treats and a drink and it was about $40. Food: Latte I had wasn’t great. The desserts all looked incredible. The lemon bar has gold flakes on it even. The top was easy to get to but the bottom was rock solid (see video). Service: Everyone was super nice and friendly. That’s always a plus. NTT [[Next Time Try]]: I’m not sure. There’s a full lunch menu so likely something on that. Thank me later ;) Smile, eat, hydrate. Live honest and don’t settle. Hope to see you out there! xo

The parking for the restaurant could be tight since space is limited. The decor of the restaurant is clean and modern. It is connected with the lemon tree market. The staff was very good. The coffee was very good. The breakfast plate was better than expected.

Lemon Tree Café is definitely one of those places you might overlook, but you shouldn’t. I stopped by on a whim for an iced golden turmeric latte and a slice of banana bread, and both were so good I almost tried to move into the luxury apartments next door just to be walking distance. The café has a small town feel right in the middle of the big city. The iced turmeric latte was smooth, refreshing, and perfectly blended, no chalky texture like other places. The banana bread was moist, flavorful, and honestly one of the best I’ve had. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and overall just a great spot to unwind. I officially found my new go-to café… even if it is across town. Totally worth the drive. Hidden gem. Don’t sleep on it.
