Come here for breakfast and enjoy out of this world pastries, breakfast sandwiches and coffee, but the real treat is their lunchtime selection. There's not a bad choice on the thoughtfully curated menu, with the spicy grilled chicken wrap and beef and Awaze tibs sandwich being personal favorites. Worth seeking out! read more

Don't really get the hype around this place. I repeated my order of a breakfast sandwich and an order of breakfast taco to TWO different employees multiple times and they still managed to get my order wrong. Couldn't fix it because the cashier walked away the second she got my money. Oh well...plenty of places that will actually listen to what you say in Silver Spring. Moving on! read more

Go eat at this place right now. I am a pretty picky, creature-of-habit kind of eater, so when a new place comes in and doesn't post its menu online, I'm hesitant to go because I don't know if I'll find something I like. Their regular menu has a turkey club, a chicken club, a bunch of salads and some other sandwiches I ignored (see note about me being picky); and they have a soup and a special every day, too. I got the chicken club (and the woman who made my order kindly left the lettuce, tomato and mayo off for me) and fries. The chicken was SUPER fresh and sliced thinly so it fit nicely on my toasty wheat bread. The fries were piping hot and really good. And the salad items were on display and also looked really fresh (I'll be back for the salads!). I will be back and I hope you go, too! It's great to have a local deli to support. read more

Came here on July 28th at around 1pm and ordered a sandwich and a wrap. It took forever for our food to come like 45min. For some reason they thought it was a good idea to make everyone else's food at the same time as ours instead of making it one by one. When we came in we were the only ones in the store. So I'm not sure why it took as long as it did. I ordered a cinnamon role and for some reason they didn't give it to me right there and then. They gave it to me with the rest of the food. The cinnamon role was also stale. And for 30$ including the tip it's over priced. Didn't even fill me up. I don't think I'll be coming back again because of how long it took for just a sandwich and a wrap. read more

Solid good food and friendly staff. Always feel at home whenever I visit. The food is fresh and always tasty.

First time coming here to check the place out and ordered the breakfast wrap. The wrap was very good and for me, filling. The staff was polite and received the food quickly. When able to, I would come back to try some other items. read more

I really had a wonderful time celebrating my cousin birthday here and the owner was very accommodating ! They food was delicious!

The owner is a very good cook. The menu is varied & interesting. Service and food quality are both excellent. She has numerous bakery specials from day-to-day. They are soooo good. There are several terrific choices of omelets. We repeat order weekly. We do sit down, takeout, and nearby home delivery! The owner is very kind and generous! read more

Lovely little cafe with excellent service and tasty food. Friend and I actually had the opportunity to sit down in the small seating area which was mostly open except for one other person and allowed for social distancing. Food-wise, both of us got paninis that came with small side salads - me the grilled salmon on ciabatta, and him the pesto chicken on ciabatta. They were both great! I feel like there was a little more heft to the pesto chicken - both in size, but also from the robustness of the tomato sauce and the cheesiness of the mozzarella. However, the lettuce/tomato/red onion that accompanied the salmon panini did not go unappreciated - it felt really light and fresh. I would definitely go back for either, depending on how I felt that day. We also were both offered samples of soup - some spicy beef and rice soup that was honestly bomb af. I was definitely glad to have been offered it as I never would have known to get it without the sample and it was just a $1.99 add-on with the sandwich. Definitely worth!! In total it was about $24 for two people - $10.75 for the salmon panini, $8.75 for the pesto chicken, and $1.99 each for the soup. Aside from that, a woman I believe may have been the owner came around and also offered us a taste of a turmeric/ginger drink. I asked for a small sample, expecting for a tiny cup but she came back with a full small-size order (probably 8-10 oz?) and gave it to us on the house. Very nice! Also I didn't realize until checking Yelp / walking up to the restaurant that the street sign is inaccurate about some of the hours - they are actually open on Sundays from 10 AM - 2 PM (at least from the date of this review). Was really happy to find this out as it will make it easier to make a visit outside regular weekday business hours. Will be coming back! read more

Everyone here is so friendly the food is always amazing and ready for pickup on time. love

Such a friendly, enthusiastic, and empathetic owner! She hand-makes the sandwiches, chatting away, asking for genuine feedback on her creations. Asked for a brownie, she chooses the largest one. I will return to visit my behind-the-counter friend. read more

If you live in the area, you need to frequent this cafe. The food is DELICIOUS, the cafe ambiance is inviting, and the staff is incredibly warm. I had a wonderful experience there while ordering breakfast, and I look forward to visiting again (and again) very soon. Highly recommended! read more

It's tucked away on Colesville Rd, with good food and kind people. It was a great stop for breakfast on a Sunday morning.

Great, home-style breakfast food. Reminds me of the mom and pop diners in the small town where I grew up. Excellent potatoes and their sauces are to die for. More than the tasty food, the owner was a gem. So nice and welcoming. Really made our morning read more

What a wonderful addition to the restaurant scene here in Silver Spring. The newly renovated space is clean and bright. The food is very fresh, and most importantly delicious. There is a build your own salad bar, and lots of sandwiches to choose from. Today's special was a lemon chicken over rice. The owner let us sample it. Wow, so tasty. I think I'll be back for dinner. read more

Had some pastries and coffee. Staff so nice and friendly. going back for sure

Visiting from Florida and Hampton Inn ran out of continental breakfast.. Lemon Slice across the street was an amazing substitute . Definitely not continental but amazing hot breakfast. Great vegan options . Tofu scramble was amazing My wife had the Breakfast sandwich on croissant and was equally satisfied. Go support local businesses. read more

I was looking on Yelp for a place open for breakfast in downtown Silver Spring. The Lemon Slice Cafe didn't have a lot of reviews but it sounded promising. A bonus during Covid is that they offer indoor sit down dining. The staff is very friendly and suggested the Chicken Club Panini. She asked if I wanted it spicy and how much. I admit it's a bold choice for breakfast... but they also offer breakfast sandwiches with eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. Anyway, the panini was perfect and it came with a small salad. I heartily recommend the Lemon Slice Cafe to one and all... for breakfast or lunch! read more

First time trying Lemon Slice Cafe, but certainly not my last! I ordered the Ham & Swiss Panini on Ciabatta Roll, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, it was so, so good! The mayo, cheese, and ham really blend well together and it's the perfect balance of sweet and salty. I was pleasantly surprised that the panini came with a bag of chips. The customer service was really great when the food was picked up, and the online ordering process was seamless. If you haven't tried Lemon Slice you are missing out! read more

Lemon Slice is my go to cafe in Montgomery County. Bethlehem, the owner treats everyone so warmly and I love love love her soups. I tried her lemon chicken for the first time and it was amazing! You have to stop by for food but don't forgot to buy extra! I purchased additional cups of soup and her homemade bread for my children's after school snack-every drop was gone (even from my picky eater). Lemon Slice is one of the best kept secrets in downtown Silver Spring!!! Love this cafe!!!!! Could take pictures because the food didn't last long enough! read more

Great place for breakfast and lunch. I had the best breakfast wrap and my friend had the croissant sandwich it was amazing. Newly renovated clean. I would recommend for any one who is in the Silver Spring area to check it out. read more

Ordered 3 things. All 3 things came wrong. Was it edible/ok? Yes. Was it what I ordered? No. It was fast and not too pricey, but just barely ok since everything was wrong. Also there was clearly fluid from a different sandwich in the cut of my bagel, so you might want to avoid this place if you're allergic to anything. read more

This place is incredible. Visited from Harpers Ferry, Wv. Had the vegan breakfast wrap and was blown away by the creativity's with their tofu scramble and perfectly cut veggies. Everything was spiced just right and they grilled it up perfectly. Their homemade green hot sauce was a perfect compliment to this amazing vegan breakfast entree. Also the staff is super sweet. read more

This place is DELICIOUS! I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. It has such a welcoming environment and the food is amazing. 100/10 would visit again!!! read more

WOW! I have not had a good bacon, egg, and cheese since I left NYC. But this place - AMAZING! Very close to home. Beth is sooo sweet and kind and the rest of the staff is as well. I went the past 2 days in a row and I will continue to go back and try something other than the breakfast sandwiches. Can't Wait! read more

I work in the same building and I can honestly say it's a joy to walk downstairs, grab some good food, and chat before resuming work. The owner is so pleasant and kind and the food is tasty and affordable. read more

Incredible food and even better service! The type of local business you need to support especially during COVID! The owner, Beth, is lovely, the food is all house made and creative, without losing the flavor. Cannot recommend enough! read more

Nice Surprise, fresh made to order salads & sandwiches. Veggie & Vegan options, but now they have outdoor seating. Personality of a mom & pop establishment that I have missed in Silver Spring. read more

Was in hotel next door and didn't want to walk far...great breakfast burrito on a Sunday morning YAY!

I just had a bowl of Creamy Cauliflower Soup and it was delicious! It was also vegan, which I NEVER would have guessed. Last week's Portobello Mushroom wrap (Panini-style, stuffed with veggies & cheese) was incredible as well...and supporting a small, local business is the icing on the cake;-) read more

Occupying the former space and in the same service-centric tradition of Dip N Rolls, Beth Yohannes and her staff at Lemon Slice Cafe offer a wide assortment of home cooked meals and fresh pastries with care and good cheer. A cozy spot to have breakfast, lunch or coffee (especially the iced coffee) and just chill. Service is always personal (Beth knows many customers by name) and delivered with a smile. If you come for lunch, ask about the daily special and soup du jour. But no matter what you order, you can't go wrong. Highly recommended. read more

This is a wonderful addition to the building! During my first visit, I ordered a burger which was there lunch special and was not disappointed. I usually feel groggy after eating one at chain restaurants, but I still felt good! For my most recent visit, I ordered a turkey club sandwich and was more than satisfied. Lots of fillings and was one of the best sandwiches I've had! Looking forward to ordering it again. Staff is friendly too and very accommodating :) read more
