Wow! This place is very interesting. But it is a very good kind of interesting!! Walking inside this fine restaurant you immediately notice how clean it is. From the ceiling to the floor this place is very clean! Lemon Leaf Cafe is not like any other place that I have been to. Here you are welcome to sit wherever you please and are then greeted with the menu. The menu is very simple to read with wonderful options. Once you have chosen your meal, you then get up and place your order at the counter and will be given a number to indicate your order. In a few minutes your order is ready and fresh at the table! I ordered,the Berserko pizza and it had a wonderful pleasant taste. Our other dish was also filled with flavor being the Chicken Mushroom Fettucini. The staff was wonderful and does a great job keeping the customer pleased with their experience here at the Lemon Leaf Cafe!! I will most definitely be visiting again! 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

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

Coming to Lemon Leaf feels like you are always at home with the cozy atmosphere and well-prepared food. I got myself a Roasted Caprese Capellini - angel hair pasta with grilled chicken pieces, tomato sauce, garlic, basil, and feta cheese. Tasty food with just the right kick to it. My kids shared a Quattro Formaggi pizza which was pleasing to them and me. For desserts, we had a Walnut Tart and a Lemon Pizzelle. Both so delightful to the palate, and it's not too sweet. Highly recommended! Next time, I want to try the Grilled Salmon with the Spaghetti Nero. Which means, I have to revisit sometime soon. We will definitely come back here! read more

So I have heard alot of good things abt this cafe.....yes now I see why! My mom and I had the Turkey B.A.T. with cranberry lemonade. Everything was so fresh. The turkey press had many flavors but nothing overwhelming other flavors. We were very happy. And the staff there was very nice. When you walk in it kind of takes you away from lancaster and 2015. Very cute shop but still moderm. 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

I have always been a fan and huge supporter of Lemon Leaf. I don't eat chicken but love one of the pasta dishes so I asked for it no chicken...gets delivered and there's chicken. Ok, no biggie. I call, tell the issue, get placed in hold for 6 minutes. I hang up and have made my own dinner in that amount of time. I call back to tell my disappointment and she says, oh yea, I just talked to you, sorry. She did offer to send more but at this point, we're done after 6+ minutes in hold read more

I ate at this restaurant several year's ago they are located on Lancaster Blvd. I moved to North Hollywood and Beverly Hill's area's for several year's. Since COVID-19 hit the globe I have not had the chance to eat at this establishment again. I know my first experience was pleasant. Hospitality wise and pallet wise. The food was amazing. read more

Best restaurant in town the chicken with pine nuts and cream sauce is TOO GOOD!! And don't get me started on the brownie they sell by the register best brownie ever and they have with or w/out nuts. And Epstein didn't kill himself. read more

One day my daughter-in-law was visiting me from Valencia and wanted to go have lunch. I thought let's cruise the Boulevard.... Lancaster for those of you not familiar with the area. I know there are a lot of new places that have opened there and thought this is a good opportunity to explore. We chose Lemon Leaf. It was first time for us. What a G-R-E-A-T- choice ! Friendly atmosphere,very welcoming, great food and the service was wonderful ! We felt so comfortable and relaxed . This is an ideal spot for us now. We are making it our go to place ! :-) read more

I love the spicy pink pasta! The new location is a bit different but the food is still great.

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

Lemon leaf has been in my Top 5 favorite places to eat for a very long time. During this quarantine we chose them for my birthday dinner and also purchased a whole cake, the orange coffee one. Everything was perfect! I also called them last minute the day of my husbands birthday, today, and asked for a whole chocolate cake. They had already cut into the cake. But they made a whole other fresh cake for me! They really out did themselves. Amazing service. Amazing food. They have provided us with two wonderful birthday dinners and cakes during these crazy times. The food is always fantastic! Never disappoints. My go to meal is the cranberry turkey Cobb salad. So good! The Don pizza is another fave! And the Pink pasta? Whatever the name it was BOMB. As a fellow restaurant owner, JOB WELL DONE. ALWAYS. read more

Cute place with a nice menu selection. I tried the pizza and shrimp scampi (yes, weird combo but I did share with another person). I really enjoyed both and felt the quality and portions were good. The only thing that I found odd was having to go up to the counter to make your order. I wasn't expecting that because the looks, price, and service are that of a sit down restaurant. Aside from that the staff was friendly and would regularly check on us and ask if we needed anything. The dessert section had a variety of options that I don't often see and I'd like to try next time. read more

First time coming here. The Pizza is phenomenal. I honestly was taken back by the level of quality of the salads and the burgers. I eat here once a week. If you can get passed overhearing what is usually some racist and insensitive old privileged sheltered white conversations from the golf course good ol boys. I think you'll love this place just as much as I do. Everyone working there is really nice and very well seasoned with the menu. read more

This place was a gem. Was here for work and my colleague and I both enjoyed our meals. We had 1)Spicy Asian chicken salad and chicken tortilla soup and 2) Quattro cheese pizza and added salami. Generous portions sweet cashier that had good suggestions for food choices since it was our first time. They forgot our soup and carrot cake but got both to go and it was no trouble at all for either of us since we were stuffed. I will be back! read more

I have been coming here for lunch and dinner the past 5 years with my mom and grandma and it is the best. Their daily soup is always changing and tastes delicious. I always get the same chicken kabobs with sautéed vegetables. It tastes so good! It is a little on the pricey side, but when I want that meal, price isn't going to stop me. The water there is also cool and refreshing, no tap water. Some bread is always delivered with your meal and their strawberry cheesecake is amazing! read more

This has got to be one of my wife's favorite places to eat. She comes here quite often. First off, the service is awesome! All of the employees are friendly and helpful. The service is top notch and they come to check on you often. The service alone would keep us coming back. The food has always been excellent. My wife loves their salads, but I'm a fan of their paninis. The four cheese pizza is always a hit with the kids. read more

Lemon Leaf Cafe - Turkey B.A.T. for lunch - Bakeries Near Me - Palmdale, California

We recently held a retirement party of about 80 people around the pool at the Antelope Valley CC, with food, cocktails, and gorgeous decorations all provided by the Lemon Leaf. What a wonderful venue it was with plenty of room for guests to move about between food stations and tables. The market lighting reflecting upon the pool added to the summer vibe. We were able to bring in our own music/speakers and party our hearts out. The Mediterranean platters and various other delicious offerings were so fresh and beautifully presented. The service during the entire night was outstanding. Maria Elaina, the owner, made a special night all the more memorable. The AVCC is so fortunate to have the Lemon Leaf on site! read more

Absolutely delicious!!! We haven't tried everything on the menu, but the hummus, spicy pink pasta, and brownie are soooo good! The process of getting curbside orders is so easy. We haven't dined in, yet but every time we get food here it is super good! I would highly recommend giving it a try. read more

I've been hearing about this place for years, and finally got around to visiting, the food is very good and the service is awesome and friendly, should have tried it sooner!! Tim W. read more

My fav place to eat in the AV for years. I have eaten here numerous times. It is my go to lunch spot, where I pick for my birthday dinner, etc. there are no bad options. I have NEVER had bad service here, ever. They have gluten free and other dietary options. They used to have gluten free pizza but it wasn't a top seller so it's not on the menu anymore but you can get a lot of their regular dishes gluten free and their pastas can all be done gluten free. So, yay me! Favorited: Lemonade Lemon tart Cranberry turkey Cobb BBQ chicken pizza (I hate bbq chicken pizza but I looooooove this) (Spicy) pink C pasta And a few others but those are my go to orders and sometimes I order it all for just me to have leftovers because I like their food that much. Sometimes they can be a little slow refilling Your drink and it sucks now that you have to have a key for the bathroom but other than that I have no complaints. I take people here all the time (people who have never Been) and they all love it. read more

This is one of my 2 favorite cafes in the whole Antelope Valley. It was my 1st time here and it will not be my last. We had a girls luncheon and let me tell you the staff was warm welcoming and the food was.......... AMAZING!!! The service was fast, and there was a great selection of coffee and teas. It's a cozy bistro and it was a pleasant experience. read more

My family and I recently visited this place. We all got something different so we were able to taste everyone's plate. It was definitely delicious. I ordered the fettuccine, the sauce was delicious. It wast too rich, the flavor balance was perfect. The service wasn't bad either, our waitress was very attentive and kept asking us if we needed anything. Oh yes and we tried the lemon tart! Dang that thing was so good! We shared, but we pry should of gotten our own. Man or man, it was hard sharing. read more

My wife and I first time here was great! Something different but all went well. The service was fast, courteous and with a smile. Definitely something different for the Palmdale area. Had the Turkey B.A.T. which was on point. Great views of the golf course and classical music was a breath of fresh air and relaxing. We'll for sure be back! read more

This is a nice place. The food is good and different from the other restaurants around. You order at the cashier first and then take a number and seat yourself. The service is interesting. They don't seem to be happy to be there at all. I've been there over a dozen times and while it's not the worst service, those young servers are just there, either out of obligation or for the paycheck. You'll rarely see one of them smile. It's a very interesting group. The food is pricey, but it's the price of eating fresh and different. I'm always impressed with the total amount due when I pay. I would really give the experience a 3 Star rating because of the service, but the place is clean and cute and the food is good so I feel unfair giving it a 3, so a 4 it is. read more

I was in Lancaster for work and the Lemon Leaf Cafe is a cute restaurant on their main street. You order at the counter and the food was good for this little town. I got the chicken kabob plate and was definitely satisfied after a long day at work. We also got 3 desserts and that's where they really stand out. The bluberry crisp, brownie a la mode and chocolate cake a la mode were excellent. Their service is great and the staff was super friendly. This is a good pick if you're ever in Lancaster! read more

Best bbq pizza on the planet! I love this place they always have your oder on time and its fanominal! Thank you lemon leaf for the magic yall create!!!! read more

I was very excited to try the wedge salad from here, I asked for extra cheese but when I got to work with the salad there was not extra cheese and hardly anything on it. For the amount I paid and in comparison to the quality of food I usually receive, I was very disappointed. There's nothing worse then ordering with intentions of something better. read more

This place is a hit or miss. The service is awfully rude. The waitress is snobby and ruins your meal. Food is overpriced for the small cold portions. They are "moving" supposedly. Probably closing down. Their attitude finally caught up with them. read more

First time visiting in a couple years. The old ambiance of the location on Lancaster Blvd is gone, unfortunately. They don't serve the lemon pizzelle anymore either, which was my favorite dessert in life! However, food/menu quality is still there. read more

I have not been to the Lemon Leaf Café in a while. The only thing I order is the Great Greek Wrap...it is a 3" by 8" wrap full of salad, but 2 2 inch by half an inch strips of chicken. WHERE IS THE CHICKEN?! I used to get more before. I get it that the economy may not be great, but REALLY! Never going back again. read more

I recommend the spicy Mediterranean pizza . It's excellent. The person who took my order over the phone was very nice and professional. I've had the fettuccine without meat.very good. The sauce was thick not watery. I will go and recommend this place@@ read more

Hidden gem in Lancaster. My wife and I have been going to the Blvd. for a while and haven't seen this place. Saw it on yelp with high ratings so we decided to check it out. The service was great, everyone has a professional attitude and wears a smile proud. They were happy to make suggestions and because we haven't eaten there before we just ordered what they recommended which was two types of pasta dishes. The two dishes, although very different in flavor, were both equally amazing. Even the side salad was fantastic. The average dish was between $10-15 which is very reasonable. You will enjoy this place, no doubt about it! read more

I have not been to the Lemon Leaf since it left Lancaster Blvd, we always enjoyed it when it was there. The new restaurant is in a small banquet room, not decorated and very depressing, but that's not the worse, we ordered and my parents ordered a strawberry shake, the waitress came back and said they were out of strawberries. The sandwiches we ordered were terrible our Italian sausage sandwich was cold inside and had no Italian salami which was stated on the menu, the waitress was very kind and we could not blame her for this terrible meal, I can say I have not had such a bad experience in many years read more

There's never a reason to be unhappy at Maria Elena's establishment. They go the extra mile for every meal, and it's never prepackaged or bulk food, all natural ingredients. I love the Cranberry Cobb salad, my wife loves the Spicy Pink Pasta, and don't miss their dinner bread. Lemon Leaf is arguably the best restaurant in town, and this is the original "small business" to support, let alone woman-owned. She supports community events with donations, serves delicious event food, hires diverse community members, and holds firm about unacceptable customer behavior. Every visit is a pleasure. PS Her desserts are amazing! read more

We'd eat here every day if we could! The food is fresh, the service great and the owner and her sister are lovely! read more

FOOD: Good food! I've had quite a few things on the menu, and I think the best way to describe this place is that it does many things good, but no single thing excellent. Most things on the menu are flavorful and enjoyable, but no single dish will blow your mind. This is probably due to their lack of specialization in cuisine. On the bright side, you will likely never be disappointed! CUSTOMER SERVICE: Average. I've occasionally had slightly poor customer service where I felt a little rushed or unwanted, and other times I have had good customer service. Nothing major in either direction. PRICING: A tad bit on the expensive side, but really not anything to complain about considering the good food and nice atmosphere. read more

I love being here. It's so nice and quiet and they serve beer. It's more on the pricey side and not as appetizing as the price, but I still love the vibe here. Really chill, really nice for drinks and a small appetizer for sure. read more
