We sat outside in order to bypass the 30 min wait at 12:30 on a Thursday. It was super hot out there, I think the heat from the sun radiates from the windows. I'd probably wait for indoor seating next time. Waitress was super nice and good at her job. My friend got the spinach and feta frittata with bacon folded in and it was really good. I'm glad she let me try a bite. Super flavorful. I couldn't pass up gluten free French toast. It was pretty good. I realize now I should have asked for a side of the berry sauce so each bite was more saucy. And I added a side of chicken sausage for blood sugar stabilization. It came with I think hollandaise? I enjoyed dipping that. read more

We noticed The Lemon Tree on our walk around town last night. And I saw the sign that said they had won 1st place for Best Brunch. Then we met a couple and they highly recommended the restaurant too. This morning we rode our bikes there and enjoyed a lovely brunch. The host and server were both friendly and efficient. The other meals being served around us looked delicious. It did take a bit to get our food. We each ordered different frittatas that were equally delicious. Presentation on the plate was eye candy and enticing the tastebuds. The theme is present throughout the restaurant, even in the restrooms. There is a nice vibe. Depending on how many diners are inside and their volume level, it can get a bit loud. Overall, we had a nice experience. read more

Arrived in Bend around 1:30 and was hungry for lunch. Read great reviews about this place on Yelp and so glad we listened. Servers are friendly, efficient and busy! The place was packed with more people coming, though it was closing in 40 minutes (by the time we found parking, walked to the Lemon Tree, it was closer to 2pm). The latte is wonderful. Just what I needed after a 8 hour drive. Ordered the avo hash toast (there is no toast, the hasbrown is the base). So tasty .. generous amounts of hashbrown, smashed avocado with fresh tomatoes. I ordered smoked salmon, which was also generous. It added the richness and saltiness to the dish. The poached eggs were great ... with just the right amount of runny. Also ordered the steak hash benedict, similar to above where the hash brown is the "English muffin" base. the steak is tender and cooked to a nice medium. The eggs are poached nicely and the holladaise sauce is tasty, rich with a nice umami flavor. They also have some delicious looking pastries, but we were stuffed. They are closed Monday and Tuesday. Great find! read more

I'm not usually a brunch person, but this place had been recommended multiple times since I moved to Bend... Hands down this is one of the best meals I've had. The service was fantastic and it's around the corner from a beautiful river walk near downtown. I had Amelia as my host, Marabelle as my server, and both of them had recommended this dish - it was fantastic. I also recommend their Watermelon Mimosa. I'll definitely be coming back to try more. Note: I also suggest trying their hot sauces, they're delicious as well. read more

The last time we were here was five years ago, and after all this time, The Lemon Tree has only gotten better. The service is still top-notch, the food is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is just as welcoming as we remembered. Yes, there's usually a long line, but in this case, that's a sign of how good this place really is. People are happy to wait because they know they're going to have an amazing breakfast and great service. We wish the entire team continued success and hope you keep maintaining this incredible level of quality and hospitality. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! read more

Once again The Lemon Tree did not disappoint. Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday and while it was busy, we were able to get a table with no wait. The atmosphere was bustling and casual, and our server appeared promptly to take our drink order and tell us the specials. I ordered the special of the day, shrimp and asparagus risotto. It was divine! It wasn't the creamy cheesy heavy type, rather it was made with a deep flavored broth. The shrimp were plentiful and flavorful, and the fresh dill on top added a nice herbal flavor. Lemon Tree is my favorite place for breakfast or lunch in downtown Bend due to its focus on quality ingredients, and interesting, healthy menu items that are beautifully presented. read more

What a delightful place! We were visiting Bend and are so happy we found this gem. My husband had the Shakshuka, and I had the Avo Hash Smash. Both were absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was wonderful, and our server, Scott, was great. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Bend! read more

The place is located on the edge of downtown Bend, plenty of free parking. We went on a Thursday lunch and there was no wait. Tried their crab cake salad and Turkish eggs, both were very pleasant. The staff were friendly and attentive. I would recommend this spot if you ever travel cross town. read more

The Lemon Tree - Hashbrowns, guacamole, tomatoes, and easy over eggs. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Bend, Oregon

You'll spot this place in Bend by the long lines every morning--and now I understand why. The café is charmingly decorated with bright lemon accents, creating a fresh and cheerful atmosphere as soon as you walk in. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and our server never stopped smiling. They explained the menu so well that we decided to order all of the daily specials. We started with a smooth latte and the bread pudding of the day--perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The burrata salad was outstanding, with tomatoes, olives, and basil that tasted incredibly fresh. Every bite brought out the brightness of the tomatoes and the aroma of basil. The seasonal ratatouille was another highlight: the vegetables were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of spice, making it flavorful and well-balanced. This spot truly delivers. The long lines are absolutely worth it! read more

Came here with a large party for breakfast and they did a great job at making sure we all got our correct orders! The cinnamon roll was pretty good, but wasn't as flavorful as I've had in the past 3/5. I really enjoyed the avo hash smash! The hashbrowns were perfectly crispy and the avocado was nice and fresh. I loved the addition of the tomatoes for the perfect amount of acidity! They had a great selection of food and a nice change from the usual diner menu read more

They don't seem to want your business. We arrived 15 mins after opening, and since we were a group of 9, there was no room. The hostess got the manager (I assume she was the manager or owner) who very dismissively told us we should've gotten there early. Didn't offer anything else. I had to be the one to ask if we could split into two smaller parties or sit outside. No to both. It really felt like they didn't want us there. I wonder why... either way message received. We went to Spork and were warmly welcomed and the food was amazing as usual. Will never feel the need to try this place again. read more

Back again, had to! A second trip with a friend to enjoy R&R we made sure to stop by the lemon tree for brunch. Splitting avocado mash/hash browns, it hit the spot. I enjoyed pear cardamom mimosas too. It's a tiny place, but well organized and once seated, your spice is your space. read more

The lemon tree was great. The staff was very nice and the food was good. They did mention there separate plates would cost a certain charge which I was disappointed about. While they at least disclosed it. It made no sense about it because we shared food family style. I had the crab Benedict which was great and heavy. The special bacon they had was also excellent. Their nasi goreng is decent and interesting although I've never had a nasi goreng that was as wet or soggy as theirs. Not to say it was bad but it was not as common. The decor was very cute and very lemon forward. Their blueberry starter was super good! read more

The Lemon Tree - Croissant - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Bend, Oregon

A very popular and busy restaurant. We ate here on Saturday 7/26/25. Very crowded by 9:30am but we got in within 20 min. Inside is nice but small (tables are very crowded together) food is more on the hippy-dippy side but what I had was the one of the daily specials and was very good. I had the steak and eggs, that included bacon and hash browns. Very good and cooked to perfection. Parking is also hard to find, there is a pay to park lot right next to the restaurant that you use an app to pay on. Carful on parking there because after paying I received a parking citation that says I didn't pay. Totally not a reflection on the restaurant but you need to be aware. read more

I heard their dinner is also great. read more

The last time I was in the area the wait time was too long before we needed to head out so I didn't get to check them out. We just missed the first rush but honestly 20 mins wasn't too crazy compared to the last time we tried to stop by. The outdoor seating area wasn't open for dining (just drinks) but as you enter it's a really homey vibe. Be sure to ask if they have specials that day from their normal menu. The crab cake benedict was calling to me so had to get that from their menu. The crab cakes were super filling and just the right amount of sauce to cover them and the muffins. The cakes paired well with the avocados and didn't make me feel too heavy eating it. All in all, I can see how it's a local favorite but service is pretty relaxed so I would stop by right at opening or when you're not in a rush. read more

My wife and I had brunch here today for our wedding anniversary, and we were impressed. We decided to get one sweet dish, and one savory dish, and then share them between us. The food was delicious. My wife said that she thinks it was the best French toast that she's ever had. The pork belly hash with duck egg was seasoned perfectly. For coffee I had a black drip. and my wife had a latte. Both were very good. The establishment has a very clean, vibrant, and upscale feel to it. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We would love to come here again. read more

My partner and I came in the late morning on a Wednesday and were pleasantly surprised when we walked in to see only a few patrons and plenty of seating. This place is always packed and I can see why. We ordered the crab cake Benedict and the seared steak Benedict. The portions were perfect, just enough to fill you up and a little more. I have been trying all of the Benedict's around town and these were some of the most elegant and tasteful yet. I appreciate how the steak Benedict had hash browns instead of an English muffin, it balanced the Benedict well. The restaurant was very clean, the waiter was friendly and even asked my favorite variation when checking in on us "how are the flavors". I will definitely be coming back :) read more

Fresh food, delicious coffee and great service. Recommended by family who lives local and we will certainly be back next time we're in town!

We waited about 40 minutes to get in--and it was totally worth it. The food at The Lemon Tree was absolutely delicious, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our meal. Honestly, no real complaints here. We loved everything we ordered and left feeling full and happy. If you're in the area and don't mind a bit of a wait, I highly recommend this spot. It's popular for a reason! Our only regret was not getting there when they opened because there were two things on the Daily Specials that we wanted and they were out. read more

I've been to Bend a few times, and each time prior had spent brunch elsewhere or at home on lazy mornings. I am SO glad that we flagged The Lemon Tree as a brunch destination this past weekend since I left knowing that it had been my favorite breakfast dining experience of 2024 (so far). You can expect a wait of 20-45 minutes before 11am, but, be sure to bring a coat and take a stroll around the downtown area. There are several great cafés and housemade stores to peruse that will absolutely take up your time waiting. Once seated, you'll have options to stay on the (heated) patio, or indoors. The indoor experience is very European, with compact dining areas, white linens, and colorful décor. Our server, Kim, was phenomenal. While we were not greeted right away, we really enjoyed the several minutes before she came to our table to discover the menu. She was extremely helpful in supporting our decisions, with lots of great info on each menu item. We definitely wanted to leave with a few baked goods, and Kim was able to reserve us our takeaway orders before they were all sold out. I ordered the Turkish breakfast plate (I believe), and I added a meat patty to get some extra protein. The proportions of greens, from egg to eggplant to sauces, were perfect. I enjoy a healthy but hearty start to the day and was grateful to find that in Bend. My only recommendation would be to offer a fresh whole pita instead of a re-heated sliced pita since a fresh pita offers more open interiors that can fill ingredients for this plate better. We also ordered macchiatos, which were delivered with the cutest and tastiest biscuit cookies. We never felt rushed; Kim constantly made us feel welcome and loved. Kim's vibes tell us how lovely the team must be here, so anyone should feel confident that they'll have a cozy and tasty experience. My only negative experience was with the guest who used one of the two restrooms and plugged the toilet. So, I had to use part of my potty break to clean up their mess. You know who you are - we made eye contact when I exited and all you did was look away. Shame on you for not telling a server! It was not pleasurable, since this occurred in the middle of our meal. I recommend getting some scent neutralizers or candles in the restrooms during dining service to avoid unpleasant smells. read more

Went to the Lemon Tree for the first time yesterday to celebrate a friend's birthday. So glad I got to try it. Everything was fantastic. We started off with a couple of drinks. Friend had the Lemon Tree, which consisted of fresh muddled raspberries with house-made raspberry lemonade, Crater Lake Vodka and Prosecco. I had the Betsy's Bloody made with Crater Lake Vodka and an antipasto skewer. For brunch, friend had the crab cake Benedict. It came with crab cakes and poached eggs served on an English muffin and topped with Citrus Brown-Butter Hollandaise. I had ordered the smoked salmon Benedict english muffin topped with grilled tomato, lightly sautéed spinach, lox-style smoked salmon, lemon-caper Hollandaise and instead of poached eggs, I had them scrambled. Sorry, I just can't do poached. Everything was delicious, and our server was friendly and attentive. Great experience. read more
