Charming little spot for breakfast/brunch. Our server was excellent and even though they ran out of champagne for mimosas they sent someone to the store and had one at our table before we left. The sausage gravy was great. Chicken and waffles - great. Huge Mickey pancakes for the kids. All around great value and meal. Thank you! read more

Came here on a weekday morning and had the best breakfast of my life. Granted I don't have breakfast very often and I have a terrible memory. I had some kind of egg & grits combo. They were just testing out this new gruyere cheese grits recipe. It was delicious. I must try to make this on my own. They gave my table a pot of coffee to keep the cups nice and full early in the morning. I appreciate that. Also, I was delighted by the cute basket of mini muffins the waitress brought out (for free) towards the end. I sat there forever, sipping on my coffee and waiting for my appetite to return so I could devour the muffins. I love the location (across the street from the ocean), the prices, the food, the other diners, the staff. Five star bathrooms. This is especially important on the beach. Can't wait to return! read more

Simply awesome. This great breaksfasty spot is filled with 60 plus year old silver haired woman chatting about what kind of "work" they had done to them. We came on a Monday morning around 9 AM, and they were packed. I can only imagine how busy they are on the weekend. We were pleasantly greeted and immediately seated as soon as we got in. Our waitress, who seemed like she has been there since they opened, was super nice and required no pad or paper to take our order. We ordered pretty standard breakfast fare (omelet, croissant and Belgium waffles). The meals came with home fries or hash browns. Also, our coffee was refilled regularly. The waitress also brought out a basket of free mini muffins for the table..great touch. As soon as she placed those down (10 minutes after we ordered), our meals were ready. Wow, that is super fast. All the dishes were huge! I have to say that the croissant and egg sandwich was the largest, so order that if you are really hungry. So if you are into overhearing gossip and great food that comes out fast, this place is for you. #Yelp100 read more

Usually I order "breakfast foods" But yesterday I ordered a "lunch" Entree. I had the lobster bisque Soup and 1/2 sandwich ( chicken salad). The soup was delicious but the chicken Salad was unremarkable...nothing But chicken pieces...no flavor, no Celery, no dried cranberries or grapes Etc usually found in delicious Chicken salad. I would not order this Again. However I would order the soup. read more

Had a really good breakfast with good service. Within walking distance from our resort. Would definitely go back. I would suggest real maple syrup for the pancakes. Would push it up to 5 stars. read more

The Lemon Tree seemed like it was the official breakfast spot of Vero Beach. It gives you that Mom and Pop atmosphere (like most places in Vero beach) along with friendly service and good quality food. My girlfriend and I went here for breakfast and ordered the cheesy grits with two poached eggs on top and a side of bacon along with an omelet and home fries. The food took a long time to get. A few people that came in after us received their food well before we did and our server didn't come around much. That was the only downfall to this visit. The grits were good and had the perfect amount of salt and butter. The eggs were poached very nicely. The omelet, which consisted of ham, bacon, and cheddar cheese was good. Tons of meat and it came out nice and warm. Like most places in the area, they only have Pepsi products. Overall it was a nice breakfast place with good price points. I would come here again as it was one of the better breakfast places in the area. read more

Location of this restaurant is great and it is nice and clean and staff is friendly. We were a little disappointed in that our food was served cold. read more

One of our favorite breakfast places. Staff is awesome, menu is good, super solid, highly recommend. One of the top two breakfasts in town.

It was okay... The food was mediocre. I really think this restaurant could do more to make their food better/more special, but there's not a ton of competition in Vero Beach, and there was a 20 minute wait, so I guess it's going fine for them. We had French toast, grits with poached eggs, home fries, toast. The food was super fast but the potatoes and toast were already cold. The potatoes were also quite dry, over cooked / quite brown on the outside, yet a little too firm on the inside. The poached eggs -- for the first time ever, I'm pretty sure I could taste vinegar in the poached eggs (which is used to make poaching easier). The French toast was very minimal in presentation. Everything was fine / okay, but not great. read more

Great food and great service! Ashley was great and the atmosphere was fun! This is a must go to restaurant for breakfast and brunch in Vero Beach. People are friendly and there are nice local shops on the strip. read more

Food was excellent . I came in with my service dog and was harassed by Amanda. She said his vest was not red. It does not have to be red if she was familiar with service animals. She would not let me give him a little piece of bacon. Will never be back!!!! And I made sure her tip was reflected in the horrible service that she provided!!! She got zero tip which she deserved! She had a problem with me from the moment I sat down. read more

Great breakfast spot and very popular. Have good service. We had the breakfast sandwich special - eggs, choice of meat & cheese on croissant. Was very tasty but a little skimpy on the sausage. Definitely recommend. read more

Solid breakfast choices and extremely nice staff. Definite spot for breakfast stop. Another plus is the prices won't break your wallet.

We have found our favorite spot in Vero Beach for breakfast! (Their lunches look amazing too). Cute place right off the beach amidst the shopping area. My first visit I had the eggs and smokey cheese grits. My poached eggs were perfect and the flavors of the smokey grits were see delicious. My son opted for pancakes which he decided to stuff with bananas and cranberries. Husband opted for the big breakfast which also includes pancakes. Pancakes were fluffy and crisp on the edges with a great flavor not even needing syrup. Corn beef hash was home made and not overly salty. Each meal was finished off with a little complementary basket of the days mini muffins, yum! Service was friendly and prompt and we were recognized as repeat customers on our second visit. Both days we got there around 8 and didn't have to wait for a table, but I can see this place getting busy later. read more

Lemon Tree - Complementary mini muffins! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

Husband and I went back to Lemon Tree for breakfast before we left Vero Beach. It was around 9:30am. For a Monday morning, it's pretty pack with a lot of locals, means they are good. My husband ordered the same, Crab Benedict and I got waffles with strawberry and whip cream, corn beef hash. They both tasted good, however my husband didn't feel right after having the Crab Benedict, we had a little concern about the freshness, hope the owner can look into it. Other than that, foods taste good, service is good! Will come back when we visit Vero. Love they gave little muffins for everyone as desserts. read more

We've always enjoyed the Lemon Tree for breakfast and still do. Our breakfast entrees are always fresh, waitstaff friendly and competent, good coffee, the restaurants cleanliness. Our only "wish it was still the case" - we miss the wonderful freshness of the Lemon Tree yellow walls. read more

Amazing service, everyone was super sweet and they had the best quiche I've ever had in my life. 10/10 recommend!!

Worth the wait, less then ten minutes for a party of two. Bright, lite atmosphere. Spotless. Professional, informed, pleasant service from check in to departure. Balanced, interesting menu. Very good value for service and quality of meal. Covid discipline more than adequate. read more

Lemon Tree was a treat. We had amazing avocado toast (the poached eggs were done to perfection). The vanilla cinnamon French toast was good (fresh fruit with it a must). And the coffee was THE BEST.

We have gone to this restaurant on and off for the last four years. The prices pretty high for the quality of the food. The home fries burned and served cold. Not only ours but the people next us had the same complaints. My second cup of coffee was almost water and had to be replaced. I don't think they care as they seem to have a waiting line. read more

We had a very nice Mother's Day breakfast at The Lemon Tree this morning. Across the street from our resort, it was a short walk to breakfast. Inside, cheery decor featuring lemons (what else?) greeted us. I especially liked the terrazzo floors. While I had been planning to order a creamy, cheesy grits dish, when I saw that they had corned beef hash on the menu, I quickly changed my mind. Our server told us that the hash was made on site and since I've never tried it, I went for the order. The plate usually comes with two poached eggs, home potatoes, and toast. I try to eat gluten free when possible so I told them to hold the toast. I was also given the option of selecting sliced tomatoes instead of home fries, so I went for the healthy option. Please see picture. My husband ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. We both had coffee which was very good black. Our server left a coffee pot at the table so that we could help ourselves. I also noticed that several diners had the distinctive Orchid Island orange juice containers on their tables, so the OJ is locally sourced. When our plates quickly arrived, I was happy to see that the tomato slices where large and ripe. They tasted sweet and fresh. My eggs were poached perfectly and the hash was good. I will definitely be back to The Lemon Tree. read more

Lemon Tree - Corned beef hash with poached eggs and tomato slices - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

Eh. This place is very popular and often has a wait for breakfast. I understand the appeal - - it's a great location near the beach and it has the feel of an old fashion luncheonette or diner. But honestly, my experience here is that the food isn't very good. My breakfast sandwich, the "house special" egg and croissant sandwich was really awful. The croissant was soggy and cold, and there was so much cheese, I had to remove most of It, It was disgusting. The coffee was weak. The corn beef hash was arguably the worst I've ever had, and got hit with a $4 upcharge. This place is amateur hour. And like so many other places, they don't toast the toast. They just warm up bread in the toaster. But that's just me -- I like real toast, you know--toasted. Our server / waitress was ok, but kind of formulaic -- artificial pleasantry. But everyone seems to like this place...I just don't get It. I agree with the other one- and two- star ratings. read more

An interesting and different breakfast place on Ocean drive in Vero. Very popular considering we had to wait a few minutes for a table but the friendly accommodating staff were promptly serving our coffees and breakfasts soon afterwards. I had the lemon blueberry pancakes and my date had the avocado toast with poached eggs, all very tasty. read more
