I have been to Lemon Falls a couple of times ever since I started working in the area back in January. Their vegan chili is my go to, especially in the colder months. Now, that I think about it I have never gotten anything from here that I didn't enjoy. The only real problems with Lemon Falls are the wait times and the prices. I just don't understand how it could take 35 minutes to pour a bowl of premade soup... I mean, maybe I am missing something here? All I know is any time I have ever ordered from here I have had to wait at least 25-30 minutes. It has gotten to the point where I don't really go anymore because I don't want to waster half my lunch break standing around. The other issue is the pricing. A couple of examples: A bowl of granola with milk: $4.75 Shredded chicken salad: $10.75 Bowl of soup: $5.25 Iced coffee: $3.30 It just seems a little too rich for my blood, but maybe it's just me. read more

The Veggie Panini was SO good!! My big family loved their food and we were definitely snacking on it for a while later!! Great lemonade too! We love their baked goods and of and when I come back I wanna try their popcorn!! :) read more

BEST PLACE EVER! 10/10 recommend. The workers were so nice and helpful. Got the veggie panini and kale chicken caesar and both were absolutely delicious. Also the everything cookie was so so good and such a good way to end our meal. The coffee was also amazing. Such a cute store and good environment ! Will definitely be coming back. read more

This is such a cute, great addition to Chagrin Falls and I'm so glad that we have it. Equally great to dine in if you're in the mood for a salad or take home some pre cooked healthy sides for a family dinner. Their Vietnamese chicken salad is one of my favorite dishes. The atmosphere is so adorable inside and if I have time to stay and eat it's a great place to grab lunch with a friend if you're in the mood for a delicious and healthier meal. They have a number of salads, sandwiches, and soups and I've like all the ones of tried so far! Don't overlook their cute miniature grocery store which offers a lot of local or more boutique foods. And certainly the prepared food they have is great for taking home to either serve as a side or entree! read more

Stopped in to grab a quick breakfast to go. The cafe is very cute and has a well curated selection of baked goods and pantry items like pasta and jam. Unfortunately the service and food didn't live up to the ambiance. Most egregious to me was that I spotted an employee (the manager?) behind the counter with their mask pulled down below their nose and mouth with an uncovered baked good INCHES from their face. If you are conscious of covid-19 health guidelines, this is not the place for you. I ordered a breakfast sandwich that was supposed to be on a brioche bun with gruyere cheese--sounds delicious! It came on a sad grocery store hamburger bun with a small slice of cheese that covered about 1/3 of the sandwich and a burned egg. It also took a new employee about 15 minutes to take our very simple order of 2 coffees and 2 food items. I understand that it can sometimes take new employees time to get on board, but when the manager realized the employee had not charged us for one of the coffees 10 minutes later, he asked us to pay for it and blamed the poor woman rather than apologizing. All in all our small order probably took 35 minutes from beginning to end with no one else in the cafe (and 4 employees) and only one take out coffee order as far as we could tell. read more

Seriously, this little place produces BIG flavor. I have added some new items I've tried to list. I've finally tried the Lobster Roll and holy WOW! It's fantastic and definitely all it's cracked up to be. If I had 15 to spend on lunch every day, I would eat it every day. Also, the Kale Caesar salad is phenomenal. The flavors are very unique. The portion was big it was zesty and citrusy. Seriously, I'm salivating thinking about it. I would recommend any of their menu items because I have yet to go wrong. SO GOOD!! read more

Lemon Falls - Kale chicken Caesar! - Sandwiches Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Cute little store. Everything on offer a bit pricey though. Have been here a few times for takeout with most of it being decent. Best thing I've ordered was a lobster roll which had a huge helping and was fresh, seasoned perfectly and very good. read more

Lemon Falls is the cutest most visually pleasing cafe in this part of town that also has amazing food! The short rib sandwich is my favorite sandwich in Cleveland- it is PERFECTION! Their Kale Caesar salad makes me like kale... their chicken pot pie- FABULOUS! You can tell that the veggies were fresh. And omg- their huge chocolate chip cookies taste caramelized- crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. In addition- there is a major selection of already made food to grab for dinner or to bring to a friend who is grieving. I've never had a bad meal here. Although they seem a bit pricey- you get what you pay for- high quality fresh food that is thoughtfully prepared. I hate going to cafes where the food feels like I could've just made it at home. read more

Cute converted gas station is now the hot spot for breakfast and lunch! The pricey lobster roll comes with pickles for $17, but most sandwiches come in at around $8 range. Tons of beverage choices and packaged foodstuffs for sale. Tables inside fill up fast and parking is limited. read more

Lemon Falls - Lobster roll - Sandwiches Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Very disappointed. Cafe very cute but that's about it. I ordered a mixed berry smoothie add kale. It totaled 9.95!!!! Crazy and it was a 16oz. But it also took her forever to make the smoothie and once I got it and tasted it ....it tasted like soap. Like literally the machine must have just been cleaned bc I could taste the detergent but if course by the time realized this i was down the street and had an appointment. Very underwhelmed and disappointed. Waste of 10.00. Never again. read more

My fave lunch spot in town.. all fresh and homemade foods like soups, salads and sandwiches.

I keep trying to like Lemon Falls, but fall short. I am a Chagrin Falls local and hear the hype. So, I have tried several times, thinking previous visits were just an off day. The shop is adorable and well done, great location. No parking, but I walk into the village, so not an issue for me. On most occasions the food has been okay, but over priced, so value perception is quite low for me. But yesterday's visit was likely my last. I ordered tarragon chicken salad on bed of lettuce rather than sandwich. The chicken salad portion was mediocre, but the bed of iceberg lettuce was brown, and obviously 2 days past it's prime. My friend ordered the kale Caesar and the romaine in her lettuce was beautiful. Could you not notice the iceberg was horrible and moved a little romaine to mine? For a premium price, the consumer (at least this one) expects the product to be a premium offering. So, I am again disappointed. read more

A cute little place with fresh food made with high-quality ingredients. It is a cute little place with a couple of reserved parking spots to the left of the entrance in front of the gallery. I'll stop in again next time I'm in Chagrin. read more

Had a nice little lunch with my mom and dog by the falls today thanks to this lovely cafe/marketplace. I had the tarragon chicken salad sandwich - so simple but really good - everything was fresh and homemade, delicious pickles on the side. Lemonade was refreshing on hot day. We also tried a blueberry scone - scones are my favorite bakery treat and these were perfect!! I even had a treat for my dog - they make peanut butter dog biscuits that have the texture of a scone - my dog loved it, ate the whole thing, and she's quite picky on treats. I love everything about this cafe, it's exactly what a neighborhood needs and I would come here every week for coffee/breakfast/lunch if I lived in the area. Cashier was also so pleasant and nice. Definitely recommend! read more

Felt kind of underwhelmed here just because there were not a lot of vegan / vegetarian / gluten free options. Felt like a panera but also more expensive in my opinion. read more

I always heard about Lemon Falls and constantly drive past it so after living in the chagrin Falls area for a year, my husband and I finally decided to give it a try. When you walk into this teal building on the corner, you jsntantly smile. It takes you to this place that feels like you are in this town where everyone is your friend or neighbor. The staff greeted us when we went to make our order. I had a ginger peach tea unsweetened that I drank right up where my husband had the house coffee and loved it. They have these wonderful farm style tables with metal chairs and you are surrounded by smiles, laughter, and deliciously smelling baked goods and meals. We are already saying how excited we are to go back. I highly recommend Lemon Falls for breakfast, lunch, coffee, tea, and baked goods (including homemade dog treats)! read more

Always a delicious and lovely experience at Lemon Falls. The owner makes you feel welcome and the place is beautiful. The food is fresh and high quality. Great variety in the menu and the take away food. read more

The owner was very rude when I went in early one morning, lot of customers were being served and I wanted service but I had a dollar bill and needed change for the parking meter. The banks had not opened yet and I asked the owner if I could get change to pay for parking and he told me that I needed to first purchase something for him to break a dollar for me to pay at the meter. That is not good customer service, it is not how a customer should be treated. I didn't want to give a not even one star but in order to post this review it is what was required. read more

My first impressions are that Lemon Falls is very cute, the food all looks good, but the attitude of the staff (owner/manager) is HORRIBLE! I am from out of town, just wanted a light bite to eat at the restaurant. They had some great looking things in the display case. While I was deciding what to order, I see a plate being put together of the egglant rotini and roasted brussel sprouts. It looked good, so I decided to order the same thing. When I ordered at the register, I was asked if it was for here or to go. They asked if I was sitting with the other person who ordered the same plate. I said, "no." Next thing I know they give me the food in to go containers and what should be served warm is cold. I am dumbfounded and say that I wanted it for "here." The owner tells me he has to weigh the items, so I figure fine, it is a waste to put it in containers to weigh it, but perhaps this is their process. When he goes to weigh the brussel sprouts, I ask for 1/2 the amount, since it seemed like a lot. He then tells me that he might as well just give them to me, since he can't weigh a small amount. I ask if he can heat up the items and put them on a plate. He again tells me it is not part of the menu on the chalkboard. I tell him that I ordered what I ordered, because I saw a plate being put together with the same items. The owner/manager huffs a bit, but puts the items on a plate and warms them up. He then goes on to tell me that they should charge a plating fee and that I only ordered $2.70 worth of food. (He gave me the brussel sprouts.) He tells me how hard it would be to pay the $4K/month rent this way. (As a customer, this should not be my concern.) His attitude was a real turn off. Actually, let me use stronger wording. His attitude sucks, is not customer service friendly, and is probably going to be the death of his business. I would gladly have paid a plating fee and would have been fine with him estimating a cost for the brussel sprouts or explaining that he can't weigh a small amount but how does $___ sound? Who wants to try a cute little cafe only to be affronted by a rude business owner/manager? Suggestion: Put a sign in the display case that these items are "To Go, Only" or that "There is a plating fee if display case items, which are not on the menu are to be eaten at the cafe." What should have been a lovely, light cafe lunch was wrecked by the owner/manager's attitude. Lemon Falls is cute and casual, the food was good, but I doubt that I will go back to give the place another chance. I am sure that being more accommodating to customer requests will help your business. Be grateful for every customer. Even someone who places an inexpensive order might come back next time for a bigger purchase or refer their friends. I was a customer service manager in the past and would like to share what customer sat managers know: A satisfied customer on average tells one or two people of their good experience. A dissatisfied customer on average will tell nine people about a negative experience. (Or worse yet, post about it on Yelp.) Treat each customer as if they were your best customer. read more

I can only speak to the very short trip that my friend I made to pick up some beverages after a long shopping day. But it was only that one trip that made us immediately regret eating where we did earlier. This place is so damn cute! It's tiny, but mighty! Lots of teas, coffees and specialty drinks. There's a counter to order salads and sandwiches to go or to enjoy there. Plus, there are some pre-made items you can eat there or take home and warm up! I didn't try anything yet, but it all looked delicious! I did try the peach ginger iced tea and I was in heaven. I can't wait to come back and try more at this cute, little boutique-y bistro and sandwich shop! read more

This place is wonderful! I have eaten here many times never do they disappoint! During these times they are Very careful with their PPE . Get the Lobster Roll it's the best ! I am always greeted with a smile great service. Thank you for your Dedication.. read more

The lobster roll is one of the best I have had anywhere. The short rib sandwich is tasty as well, but I always come back for the lobster roll. None of these sandwiches include sides however. The salads are tasty as well. I enjoy the Kale Caesar and the Vietnamese Shredded Chicken are my two favorites. They also have a prepared foods case for easy meal options to go. Definitely a highly recommended stop in Chagrin Falls. read more

Fantastic food, ambience and service! Every time we come to Ohio to visit family we always make time to stop in for lunch. Everything is made fresh to order and is absolutely delicious! I always plan on taking photos of our food but the second it arrives at the table out only thoughts are of chowing down!!! I highly suggest ordering off the menu for dining in and then ordering a few take away items from the deli case. The desserts are to die for delicious so don't forget to get a cookie, muffin or scone! Enjoy! read more

Lemon Falls - A must visit spot every time we're in town! - Sandwiches Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

They do not take American Express, which is inexcusable in this town and for the prices charged. Additionally, they do not offer a side salad. They offer a soup and sandwich combo but not a salad and soup combo, so you are forced to pay $11 if you want greens with your sandwich. read more

Lobster Rolls are fantastic! I'm heading out there today to get one with a prospective new fan of Lemon Falls.

Such a cute cafe!! My favorite things to order are the beef stew and when I'm looking for something a little lighter, I go for the egg salad sandwich! Plus the pickles they serve with their sandwiches are divine!! They have some great gifts for the foodie in your life too :) read more

I have to say I've been a bit disappointed with Lemon Falls lately. Today I went there for lunch. Their soup of the day was a gazpacho. I got that along with a small container of their lobster pasta salad. The pasta salad was a bit bland and the gazpacho was good, but nothing special. The girl at the counter who took my order and handed me my food, never smiled and didn't seem very happy. Both items together were over $9. The last time I was here, the women who took my smoothy order made me the wrong one. When I mentioned I ordered a different one, she defended herself and said I had ordered the one she made. I ended up just taking it because I didn't want to wait any longer. I really want to love this place, but their customer service is far from excellent. read more

Eh, I like the variety, but this place doesn't live up to price tag on everything. I'll pay a premium for good food, but not for pretentiousness. Also old lady behind the counter was snippy. In fairness, the turkey chili was good. read more

Went here for my bday lunch. Took my dog cause their patio is dog friendly. Probably won't do that again, very tight space with 4 tables outside. Very unique and adorable little market/cafe though. Pretty decorations and I appreciated the fact that they kept with the lemon theme in decor. Staff was very friendly. The bakery items didn't swoon me so I had trouble choosing one, I ended up with the lemon yogurt pound cake-- little over cooked but the icing was great! My dog enjoyed a homemade dog treat - she loved it! The refrigerated pre made items looked great so I might try one of those if I go again, I saw a Mac and cheese block the size of your head. Our lunch items weren't phenomenal. We had grilled cheese, short rib sandwich, and a veggie salad. The salad dressing was to die for, fresh lemon. The sandwiches had good crunchy bread but we did not feel they were worth the hefty price tag! My short rib & cheese sandwich alone was $15 without a side each sandwich came with a few cucumbers in a salad of sorts-none of us cared for that. Thought it to be a weird touch. Bottom line: This place fits into the Chagrin Falls vibe. A little too pricey for my taste but prime location, adorable decor, fresh somewhat eclectic food. read more

Love Lemon Falls! I go out of my way when in the area to come here for lunch or breakfast. Love the steamed eggs prosciutto and parmesan for breakfast. Everything on the lunch menu looks and tastes terrific. Especially like the chicken pot pie, lobster rolls and delicious soups. Great vegan and gluten free selections as well. Desserts to die for! And most ingredients are sourced locally. That's a big plus for me. But the best thing about Lemon Falls may be the staff. They make you feel like family. I don't think I've ever eaten here when owner Jim didn't come out to see how I was doing. Love Lemon Falls! read more

Lemon Falls is an adorable little cafe! I came here with a friend yesterday to get some work done (since they have free wifi) and a little bit to eat. I got a double espresso and a blueberry scone and my friend ordered a latte and an apple-nut bread. The coffee beans they use are locally roasted (yay for supporting local Cleveland businesses!). Both our pastries were fresh and made for tasty afternoon snacks. Even after that, my friend and I found ourselves eyeing the shelves of gourmet cookies, candy, jams, and other speciality foods around the shop! We both wanted to try everything they had to offer! Besides that, the staff is very friendly and welcoming! I'll definitely be back to this charming cafe soon, and next time I'll know to bring a bigger appetite! read more

This place is a super cute corner cafe with friendly staff and yummy food. Limited menu but everything sounded delicious. Came for breakfast today and got the egg sandwich with tomato, bacon and Gruyere- SO good. And while I didn't get anything else, I was very tempted to purchase some of the speciality goods they had for sale- think gourmet mustard, imported biscuits, and some awesome looking Easter treats. read more

Every bit as charming and lovely as The Rose Cafe and Charcuterie in Venice, California. The fresh quality foods, the breezy atmosphere, and the great value make a return trip automatic, The shrimp salad was marvelous. Perfectly cooked shrimp, tender to bite into and not overcooked, and a light dill sauce were a perfect starter. Imhad the lobster roll, now $16.50, which was the best I've had outside of New England and the ones I make at home. Again, really fresh lobster meat, tender and moist, a generous portion on a grilled New England Style hot dog roll. If it only didn't have sesame seeds....... Not part of the traditional presentation. My friend had a big turky waldorf salad, which looked marvelous and so fresh. Unfortunately, I felt they could use tastier turkey or even roast chicken for better flavor and texture. We tried a Russian Biscote for dessert, similar to a large Rugula, which was to die for. Not to sweet and perfectly baked. read more

This. place. is. amazing. We've had everything from coffee to green smoothies to breakfast sandwiches to vegan tomato soup to breaded chicken breast and it's all been phenomenal. Their prepared foods are delicious and a great option for lunch or to take home for an easy dinner. Their baked goods (we LOVE the blueberry scones, especially when they're still warm) are all fresh and taste awesome. This place is such a gem. How anyone would want to frequent the Starbucks down the street when this place is so close is beyond me! read more
