Truth be told there are not a lot of great places to eat in Lancaster. The area has grown, but the dinning has not grown with it. Lemon Leaf is an exception and a must stop if you are in Lancaster. The service is great, the place is cute. They have seating, but you will order at the cashier. They will bring your food to you. They have great Italian food, from sandwiches to pasta. It is located in the older section of Lancaster which has been all remodeled. They have an excellent rustic pizza. The prices are quite reasonable and you will like it very much. This is the place to eat whenever you are in Lancaster. Have fun. read more

The food was really good and so was the service. It's older crowd vibe but lunch was very pleasant .

Great food. Never dissatisfied. Love the Black Spaghetti with Salmon and their turkey cobb salad. Ordered penne ariribiata and italian sausage peperonata. Both had suasage in the website but when i got my order it the oenne didn't have any and i paid for the sausage. Anyways the manager was very nice and fixed it for me. Heres a picture of the website menu maybe you can coorect it to avoid confusion. Lemon Leaf is by far my favorite restaurant in Lancaster Blvd. read more

So u guys be careful when u order from these people read more

Great spot. Definitely would recommend to everyone in AV! Ordered a few times and it has been good every time.

Have not been here since they were on Lancaster BLVD. It was such a cute little place to eat with good food and pleasant environment. Upon entering the time dated new location, we were told that we could not sit on the patio, as that was for members only. Ok, well apparently there were no members because the patio was completely empty. The waiters and servers seemed to be new and awkward. After twenty minutes they came to tell us that they were out of the salad that we had ordered. We ordered the NY pizza and Greek salad. Both of which were less than stellar. The price clearly does not reflect the quality nor quantity of food that is presented either. Most definitely will not be returning. read more

Used to be a fair place when it was on the Blvd. Now members only or sit outside policy has ruined what was once a regular "go-to."

Update: I came in and decided to try something else other than my usual. And I wasn't surprised, everything here is good. This place just got better, it's my go-to spot if I'm ever wanting some good pasta. read more

First time at the new location. Great food had the hummus and cucumber pitas for appetizer then pink pasta for lunch which was full moderate spicy rich in flavor. Carrot cake was super yummy. I will be back. read more

This is one of my favorite places to have lunch in the AV. Food is not as good togo however.

I love Lemon Leaf! The staff, the food, the owners are what make eating at Lemon Leaf special. I'm grateful to have found this gem of a restaurant in the AV. When you find great people, great owners and delicious food. It's makes it feel like eating with family. read more

WAY too expensive for the amount and quality of food. It's not even a full service restaurant. You order at a counter like a deli but are paying $50 for two meals and two drinks. My husband got the Chicken Caesar Wrap... basically salad with like 4 small strips of chicken in a tortilla with a pitiful portion of pasta salad on the side. I got the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and honestly have made better myself at home. The chicken in both dishes was tough and seemed like it was cooked a week ago and microwaved. Disappointed and won't be going back. It's too bad because they have a great location and it's decorated really cute. read more

I saw the amazing reviews and decided to order via Yelp / Grubhub delivery. When it got delivered we realized a Caesar wrap was missing from our order so I called the cafe and they told me that they aren't able to tell me if they didn't make the wrap, or the delivery driver just didn't include the wrap with our other order. Then they said if I ever order a wrap online I need to call the cafe and tell them my name and that I specifically ordered a wrap. I don't understand why I have to do this in the first place and/or why don't they have a better system? They told me my only option is to refund the wrap by calling Grubhub. I don't normally leave bad reviews but the way they handled this situation was very unprofessional. They at least were honest by telling me they don't even know if they made the wrap but from experience they probably shouldn't have disclosed that information and then tell me for future wrap orders to call and leave my name. I will not be ordering ever again from this place but for future references in case anyone decides they want to order a wrap - According to the cafe you need to call and let them know because you might not get it delivered. This happened today. June 12, 2021. read more

I just ordered the four cheese pizza through " Uber eats" ... , burned , no cheese , tasted as if it's been on a warmer all day ... disgusting I don't know how the chef even let something like that leave the kitchen .. they had to of known they put in the box and actually served it to customer ? I called to inquire as to how they would even serve such a thing .. and was told since you ordered through Uber eats take it up with them , what kind of customer service is that ? They cooked and sold that garbage yet won't take responsibility ? , what a discrace read more

Amazing! Was in Friday night and found that it wasn't busy. Maybe because it was getting late. Took a few minutes to decide and went with the pasta with sausage and bell peppers. It was amazing! We had a bruschetta as an appetizer and it was a great size and flavorful. For dessert we had a cheesecake with strawberries. I'm not the biggest fan on plain cheesecake but this made me change my mind. Everyone was nice and checked up on us frequently. read more

Lemon Leaf Cafe - Bow tie pasta with sausage in a butter sauce - Bakeries Near Me - Palmdale, California

Came in for lunch... thought it would be great based on the reviews but on the contrary it was totally not worth it. A little confused on the reviews and what i ended up with on my plate. The shrimp scampi was super watery, tasteless. The grill salmon was dry and also tasteless, when we told the waiter about the salmon and that we would like a refund they legit gave us half the refund. Plate was untouched except for the side salad that was half eaten and a bite of the salmon. Will not be coming back and certainly do not agree on the pricing for low quality. If possible would give 0 stars. read more

This restaurant continues to deliver quality food with quality staff. Amazing & attentive servers. I absolutely love their spicy Asian chicken salad! The kizami dressing made in house strikes the perfect balance between sweet, spicy, & umami. I like it so much that I bought some in a separate container to make salads of my own! read more

Very impressed with Lemon Leaf Café! From the first phone call with the team at Lemon Leaf Café to the last-minute request they provided exceptional service. The Café provided breakfast and lunch catering for our meeting of approximately 60 people in Mojave a few weeks ago. When we realized that we would have more participants at our event than we anticipated, we made an emergency call to the cafe. They quickly responded by preparing and delivering more food - at a moments notice, and with enormous grace. Our staff was very impressed with the quality of the food provided, the ease of delivery, and that the Café was able to provide day-of delivery. We highly recommend them. read more

Lemon leaf used to be on the blvd and it was the cutest place but they relocated to the country club. Food is still good! Atmosphere just feels a little different now. Love there pizzas, salads and wraps. Don't love the location but they definitely try. Good service and fresh flowers were on each table. read more

Started with bread, they forgot to supply butter. No big deal because I didn't want to waste my appetite on bread. Caesar salad average, fresh lettuce. Now the caprese pizza and pesto with prosciutto pizza was amazing, I'm starting to salivate while thinking of the pizza I devoured from just a few hours ago! Now the desserts! You can stop here just for this. Lemon tart and Verone chocolate cake yuuuum!! Perfect lemon bar and great chocolate cake, not overly sweet so you don't feel like a brick after you stand up to leave the restaurant. Will definitely be back read more

A solid 4.5 star place! I enjoyed a few lunches here with friends and my husband, and the food was consistently delicious. Great for families and groups (lots of space). Cool murals on the walls. Great desserts (take one to-go, if you're full from your meal)! read more

The shop was difficult to find for someone not familiar with the area, but we finally did. Because of Covid, and preparing to move, they are only doing carryout. The salad was good, about average. The pizza though - yummmmyyyy!! Staff was polite and welcoming when we picked up our order. read more

My wife and I had dinner here tonight, this was our second visit. We loved everything about this place: the upscale casual atmosphere, the attentive waitstaff, and of course the food. We started with a Mediterranean sampler of hummus, olives, cheese, stuffed grape leaves, olives, tzaziki and red peppers. Served with small wedges of pita, this was the perfect appetizer. The hummus was garlicky and splashed with olive oil. My wife had the pasta dish with peppers and sausage. She did not let me sample, but assured me that it was tasty. I had the quattro formaggi (four cheese) pizza. The crust was just right - not too thick, not too thin, and the cheeses worked well together. The iced tea was served almost instantly as we sat down, and was refreshing. We chose some desserts to take out - my wife had a brownie, and I had the orange cake. Wow. Lemon Leaf is our "go to" place to eat in Lancaster. read more

The food is fantastic!! Some times it's tricky to get seating because they moved to a county club. But the last time I was there, about 3 weeks ago, we sat in the bar and enjoyed everything!! read more

A nice environment, very classy and chic. The staff is very kind and patient. The food tastes very good and fresh. A nice variety. I love it little lemons around the restaurant. I also love the painting outside the building. It's great for photo opportunities read more

The food is magnificent, you can tell everything is homemade. The only down side is the foods taste is inconsistent and the sauce can be very watery. Also it's is a little pricey for small portions of food served. Customer service is great. The restaurants location is great right in the golf course. read more

Everything that I had to eat today was an absolute delight. From the pizza to the banana peanut butter milkshake. My friend ordered the pollo pesto pasta, so yummmm. I couldn't control how happy it made me, I did a happy dance... In my chair of course. The vibe of the restaurant was calm and cool, the customer service was pretty awesome as well. I will be back for sure. read more

Food was great - we missed them from Lancaster Blvd and found out they moved to the AV Country Club where the ambiance is lovely - you can sit outside on the golf course or plan an event inside. Service was friendly with attention to details. Happy to re-discover the Lemon Leaf! read more

My wife and I have been here a bunch of times and this place is great--environment, food, etc. We've got a handful of different things from the menu and they have all been good. I particularly enjoy the caprese capellini with chicken as a go to. Can't pass up a peanut butter/chocolate milkshake for dessert either. One of the best the AV has to offer! read more

Fantastic little cafe I stumbled on for dinner. I was looking for a light meal during my business trip to Lancaster and I was not disappointed. Mr Scout provided excellent service and went above and beyond to make recommendations on their most popular items. I decided on the cranberry turkey Cobb salad which came with bacon and feta drizzled with a sweet and tangy vinaigrette. It was very filling and had super fresh ingredients. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a fresh meal that is perfect to takeout or dine in! It is great for groups since it is super spacious and has a wide variety of gourmet items. My absolute favorite part was shopping the colorful pasta and gifts packaged with their cute design. read more

Lemon leaf has been a favorite for YEARS! I have since moved out of state and I make sure to visit every time I'm in town. The quality of food is always on point and so flavorful! If you've never been, I recommend the BBQ chicken pizza with jalapeño and a lemonade. Another fun hack is to order the Spicy chicken salad in a wrap! SO. GOOD! And their desserts?!? Like I can't even... read more

I never had such an amazing food. I recommend every person to try their food specially chicken kabab and lamb chop. Me and my family are celebrating every occasion in Lemon Zest Cafe because of their extraordinary quality food. read more

We were looking for a place to eat a late lunch after running an errand over in the AV. Bf wanted a nice salad and I wanted to have a sandwich or something of the sort. I wasn't able to get a either as we came in too late in the day and settled for a ceasar salad and tomato basil soup. Bf had a cranberry turkey cobb salad. Our meals were very fresh tasting and with a lot of flavor too. We also got a bruschetta appetizer with gorgonzola cheese. The bruschetta was very tasty as well and one of the better bruschettas I've tasted. I enjoyed my soup and salad very much. Ingredients are fresh and bursting out with flavor! We didn't plan to have dessert but did indulge in a orange coffeecake. From the first bite, it was foodgasmic and we both ate it all! Prices may be a bit high yet I'd rather pay more for GOOD tasty fresh food. I don't mind placing the order at the counter. It reminds me of Sweet Butter Kitchen in Sherman Oaks (except I think Lemon Leaf is better). This is one of the best restaurants of the AV if not one of my personal favorites as well. read more

Lemon Leaf Cafe is one of those local eateries where you just want to eat everything! Its a cute restaurant located on Lancaster Blvd. I can honestly say its actually one of the best restaurants on the Blvd. The art decor and gift shop vibe with a variety of there signature items displayed is a nice touch to the restaurant. Every time I'm in town, I wouldn't mind me some Lemon Leaf. Most of my visits the service has always stayed consistent and the servers are very attentive. Typically, when you walk in, you order, then you grab a table. This particular lunch visit, We sat next to the dessert display and I literally was eyeing the display case during my whole lunch haha. This visit we ordered the Humus and Pita bread to start, Turkey BAT, Prosciutto pesto pizza and the Southwest grilled chicken salad. Everything was delicious! Portions are generous and great for sharing. I dont ever recall me ever having a bad experience or bad meal here. You basically can't go wrong with anything you order. Just depends on your taste buds. I always look forward to coming back whenever I'm in town and can always guarantee I will leave full and happy. read more

Many moons ago, I attended an art show that was catered by Lemon Leaf Cafe. They provided small finger foods (sandwiches, crackers & dip, etc.) and at the time I was absolutely infatuated. I always had the intention of going to their location on the Blvd throughout the years and it wasn't until recently that I finally had the opportunity. Despite the raving reviews they still receive to this day, I found it didn't quite live up to the expectation they set years ago. I stopped by for lunch with my sister at around 11AM. My sister had been many times before but always around dinner time. We seated ourselves at a wobbly table and had to move to one with a little more stability. I would also like to note the strips of paper lining the tops of each table seemed a bit cheesy. We were brought glasses of water and menus and eventually discovered on our own that we were supposed to go to the register and place our order. Which was only slightly confusing as they gave us the impression they provide waiter service.. I ordered the grilled chicken caesar sandwich with a side of pasta salad. I'll start with the pasta salad. It tasted incredible! Unfortunately, I have to agree with Jonathan M., the portion was embarrassingly small. The sandwich was about 95% lettuce. Don't get me wrong, I love vegetables. But given that the price is so high, I would expect them to be more generous with the chicken. I would have purchased dessert on my way out but the meal already exceeded my budget. I was simply not impressed. The prices are just too high. I understand business can be tough on the Blvd. However, I suspect they can do a little better than ugly paper on their tables when they're clearly trying to classify themselves as an upscale establishment. My overall assessment of Lemon Leaf Cafe can be summarized as: meh. read more

Fresh tasting fantastic food. Always a go-to for my friends and I when we want to treat ourselves to non-fast food. Pricing is the worth the value of the taste. Best part? I can door-dash! I get the vodka ravioli with a pizza and share with another person, it's perfect! read more
