    Feta & Spinach Frittata
    Beth E.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Sophisticated breakfast menu. Gracious and informative servers. Attractive and welcoming surroundings. Food was prepared perfectly and exceeded expectations. Definitely recommend.

    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!

    Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Benedict with Spinach and Tomato
    David N.

    Crab was buttery and the tomato was juicy. Wait was incredibly long (1.5 hours at 10:30 am) but luckily the farmers market was up nearby. Over all 3.5/5 but I'll give a 4.

    Special of the day... risotto with shrimp and asparagus
    Karen L.

    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.

    Turkish Eggs
    Ellie H.

    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.

    Hashbrowns, guacamole, tomatoes, and easy over eggs.
    Anjelah S.

    A small place and packed with people. Thats a good sign. Right? Our nice waitress seated us by the front window. Great spot. We weren't in the middle of the café. We ordered and didn't have to wait long before our food was served. The food was hot and tasted amazing. We will be back!

    Burrata Salad
    Hyunji K.

    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!

    Mimosa - Grande
    Michelle N.

    Cute brunch spot! Small / limited seating so not ideal for large parties but perfect for couples. We walked in and there wasn't a wait (but it was a Thursday morning) Standard brunch fare with lots of fresh baked pastries, solid showing all around

    Cinnamon roll
    Emma S.

    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

    Really nice little breakfast/lunch spot with excellent and creative dishes, packed with lots of flavor. Service was very friendly and the food came fast. Definitely will come back!

The atmosphere is rustic, cozy, and a little exclusive, which made it a really unique spot to grab a drink! We stopped in right after checking into our hotel, and it was the perfect first stop to kick off our weekend. There isn't a ton of seating, but you can choose between the cozy indoor space or the patio in the alley. Since there were only two of us, we were seated right away. If you're looking for a relaxed place to enjoy a quick glass of wine or a cocktail before exploring the rest of the town, I'd definitely recommend stopping by here. It's a charming spot with great vibes!

    Follow the alley. Trust me…read more You know those places you stumble into and immediately think, "Yep...this is my kind of spot"? That was San Simón for me. At first, walking down the alley in downtown Bend, I honestly was not sure what we were about to find. Then we started seeing little fire pit pods, heated huts, glowing candles, and people tucked away having cocktails. It instantly felt cool without trying too hard. Walking into San Simón felt like stepping into some funky speakeasy hidden in plain sight. Dark lighting, moody atmosphere, David Bowie playing in the background, wild artwork on the walls that makes you stop and stare for a second. Just a great vibe all around. The kind of place where you sit down and immediately relax into the evening. The cocktails were excellent. Not overdone, not syrupy, just really balanced and well made. One of our favorites was the "Some Positive Feedback," which came with this sugar rim that looked awesome and added just enough sweetness without overpowering the drink. Bright citrus flavor, refreshing, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. Then we asked the bartender if they could just make us something off the cuff. We said vodka, lemon and lime forward, not too sweet, maybe a little spice. They absolutely nailed it. Crisp, refreshing, layered citrus flavor with just enough heat on the back end to keep it interesting. Honestly one of those cocktails where everybody at the table takes a sip and immediately goes, "Oh wow." As a bourbon guy, I was also pleasantly surprised with the whiskey selection. The bartender recommended Stafford's Reserve, an Oregon bourbon, and I am glad I listened. Smooth, approachable, a little sweet up front with some spice on the finish. Easy sipping bourbon that fit the whole vibe of the place perfectly. What really made the night though was the staff. Everybody was friendly in that genuine way where you feel welcomed instead of "served." By the end of the night it honestly felt like we had been there before, even though it was our first visit. The outdoor setup deserves some love too. Bend cooled down at night, but the fire pits and heaters kept everything comfortable. We could have easily stayed another couple hours just hanging out. Pricing felt fair for the quality of drinks and atmosphere. This is not a dive bar pretending to be fancy. It is a genuinely cool cocktail spot that knows exactly what it is. If you are in Bend and enjoy craft cocktails, bourbon, cool music, quirky atmosphere, and places with personality, go find San Simón. Half the fun is finding it tucked down the alley in the first place.
