    Blueberry scone with cappuccino
    Keith M.

    Yummy!!! "Lemon Falls Cafe" is a cute little breakfast/lunch on the corner in downtown Chagrin Falls, Ohio. It's a little out of the way, and since most folks are looking for a full scale restaurant they walk right by... BIG MISTAKE! All the locals are in the know though. That's where you'll find them. Upon entering you are faced with a counter filled with and covered by all the wonderful foods and treats you could ask for. Many display the "Blue Ribbons" they were awarded at the Geauga County Fair; and they are well deserved. We stopped in for breakfast this morning. I ordered a blueberry scone with a large cappuccino. My wife got the breakfast wrap and a cup of coffee. We sat in the window of this cute little establishment, thoroughly enjoying our treasures, and just enjoyed the coming of spring. The entire time we were there locals hand in hand with spouses, some pushing strollers, and others with toddlers in tow, all came and went with wonderful treats for their morning. I must tell you, this is the kind of place that just makes you feel good about life. You must give them a visit. You'll be glad you did.

    Lemons Falls is a cute little eatery in downtown Chagrin Falls. It is located on a corner. With construction right now it is a little harder to access from one side of downtown. There is a closed sidewalk. They have a nice seating area both outside and in. Seating is somewhat limited inside. They take counter orders and bring you food to the table. Lemon Falls has award winning pastry from the county fair. They also have a large menu. We ordered the vegan soup, lobster roll and short rib sandwich. The lobster roll was market price and was very heavy on the lettuce. The short rib sandwich was delicious and the soup was very good as well. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    After run club today we were looking for a breakfast place. We lucked into lemon falls. What very cool cozy small town type of feel cafe! I got espresso and a fried egg sandwich. Both very good. It has breakfast and lunch options. With various Togo take out options too. Also fun fact they won first place for their blueberry muffin in the Geagua county fair! Enjoyed this place! If ever in Chagrin stop in!

    One of my favorite places to go when I'm in town from California. Fresh amazing food! My daughter loves to grab a big ole bag of angel hair pasta to cook at home. An 80 year old Italian lady makes it by hand! Even the Brussels sprouts are to die for. Yes, that's a picture of my 9 year old eating Brussels sprouts immediately after we got home. The scones are our fav, and so is the egg salad sandwich and if you're lucky enough for breakfast, the egg with prosciutto on top. Excellent job! I read the negative reviews, and they basically sound like an employee was having a rough day, and someone not understand that free samples don't mean take as many as you want. I've never encountered anything but wonderful people and even a server forgot a cinnamon roll, they apologized profusely and fixed it.

    Disappointing experience. I won't be returning. I really wanted to like Lemon Falls, especially given the charming location in Chagrin Falls, but unfortunately the experience was very underwhelming. Too bad because I was really looking forward to lunch. The service is the main reason for which I won't return. I ordered dine in order at the cafe - chicken tarragon sandwich, Americano, and chicken noodle soup. I was served Americano and my soup. I sat and waited for my sandwich for at least 30 minutes. I observed that some tables were getting second and third food deliveries to their tables. When everyone in the dining area who arrived after me received their order, I went to the counter to inquire about my order. The cafe only has only 5 tiny tables so I was surprised that I was overlooked. I was told that a refund will be issued because my order must have been lost. The manager (I assume he was because everyone was asking him questions) was standing right next to the counter and there was no reaction from him at all. I was quite surprised that another order could not be made. I just haven't seen any cafe handle an order and an experience so poorly. I was very much looking forward to lunch and trying a new place, it was a very sad, inattentive, and strange experience. In terms of food, the menu is pretty extensive with breakfast, lunch, and coffee options. Cases are also filled with various goodies if you don't wish to order from the menu. The menu is almost an exact replica of Stone Oven bakery menu. Here's the comments about the food that I've tried. I had to agree to an Americano because there was no regular coffee or pour over or anything similar. That was ok. Americano was very diluted and bland, not something that I'd expect from a coffee shop. The staff kept proudly saying to the guests that everything is homemade, but the chicken noodle soup wasn't. The base of it tasted like over salted Knorr mix where someone added some chicken pieces. It was not a well proportioned Knorr base, it tasted completely artificial. I appreciated the chicken pieces but the rest of it was not good. Potentially other items on the menu are better. The ambiance felt cramped and noisy - definitely not the relaxing café vibe I was expecting. Although the cafe combines a small market, bakery, and coffee shop into one. I sat a table that was right by the door where everyone seemed to arrive within inches of me. It was awkward. With so many great spots in Chagrin Falls, I'd recommend skipping this one. Hopefully they can turn things around, but for now, it's a pass from me.

    Items for sale.  A few tables.

    Get a gift card here for that friend who's hard to buy for. He/she will appreciate it. This is a lovely cafe to visit in or carry out coffee, breakfast pastries, sandwiches and dinner entrees. Sauces, coffees, condiments, etc., are for sale. Lunches and pastries are homemade and everything is fresh and delicious. Ask for GF or vegan choices. I had a slice of lemon pound cake, and it was real lemony and wonderful! My friend really liked the Mighty Leaf brand of hot tea. There are a few tables. Conveniently located you may find a spot to park on the property or nearby on the streets. You'll love this darling cafe.

    Lobster roll.

    Cute place. Nice variety of sandwiches, fresh chili etc. Ordered the lobster roll! I enjoyed it! Would I try it again. Not so sure. Enjoyed the coffee. There was a book on the table which I want to find and buy. Yes quite the nice atmosphere. Great place to hang out, visit and eat.

    Delicious spot right in the heart of Chagrin Falls! The outside of Lemon Falls has a small town restaurant feel & the inside welcomes you with amazing smells. We ordered the lobster roll and then the short rib sandwich - talk about amazing!! The short rib sandwich melted in my mouth. My boyfriend loved his lobster roll and said it was very filling. We sat at the little tables they have available outside. Only downside was parking- we had to find a spot a couple blocks down, but we were able to discover other great spots to stop in on the way back to the car.

    AVOID at ALL COSTS. Dining area extremely dirty and gross. Wouldn't be surprised if bugs or…read morerodents. Extremely rude staff. Multiple customers came before closing time of 9pm and refused service. Supposed "manager" said that he had been there for "hours" and didn't want to serve anyone else. Wtf. Owners should fire him. You have open hours for a reason. Would give zero stars if possible.

    I remember when Jersey Mike's came to town- I thought that it would just be another sub place in a…read moresea of many. They send out free coupons, and free being my favorite price, I gave it a try. And boy oh boy am I thrilled that I did! (Great marketing by the way- that first free sub hooked me and I've been there countless times since). From the moment you walk in, you can tell that this is a cut above other quick casual places. It is spotless and brightly lit. The employees always seem glad that you are there. The employees there are ALWAYS happy- and I have been around enough businesses to know that when employees are consistently happy to be at work, it must be a great working environment. That alone would win my support. But the subs are delicious. The meat is freshly sliced, the bread is amazing, and they make them exactly how you want. It's not cheap, but this isn't cheap food you are getting. My partner and I regularly spend $30 for two people (I get the giant size- the regular is a lot of food, but it's so good I always go for the giant). Places with $5 foot longs can sell theirs for $5 for a reason. Spend the extra and go to Jersey Mike's! You will be glad you did!
