Lemon Falls

Loved this little place! Cute, good service, and great food. It’s cozy yet bright, cheery and clean, with upscale counter food. Plus you can purchase goodies to take home!

Came here with some Dave’s Cosmic for smoothies to chow down with. Why did it take 25 minutes to blend up two drinks I have no idea. And then they didn’t even taste good… Ordered the mixed berry and tropical smoothies. The outdoor seating was dirty and trashy. Really, this was Ben & Jerry’s beforehand and this experience made me miss it.

This place is a super cute corner café with friendly staff and yummy food. Limited menu but everything sounded delicious. Came for breakfast today and got the egg sandwich with tomato, bacon and Gruyère– SO good.
And while I didn’t get anything else, I was very tempted to purchase some of the speciality goods they had for sale– think gourmet mustard, imported biscuits, and some awesome looking Easter treats.

As out-​of-​owners, we were surprised and delighted today to find this jewel that served high quality lunches. The soups in particular were equal to those served in top restaurants in cosmopolitan cities. Their lobster roll is equal to a New England wharf served on a late summer day. An accidental brief conversation with one of the owners gave us the good feeling of a man who had pride his work, and that shows in his food and attitude.
Not fancy — the setting is in former ice cream parlor, previously a 1950s gas station. It has its own charm, and you can still go there and fill up.

Spontaneously stopped when I saw posting for fresh vegan soups and dishes. Soup was fantastic and good for my low salt dietary needs too. I did look in case for something to go with but everything has cheese except one salad so that was a bit disappointing. There are very few places On this side of town that offer vegan options other than a salad. THANK YOU I’ll keep checking in to see what you’ve got.

Love this place, I’m really surprised it was empty on a Saturday morning while Starbucks has a line out the door. The coffee and food here is so much better

Every bit as charming and lovely as The Rose Café and Charcuterie in Venice, California. The fresh quality foods, the breezy atmosphere, and the great value make a return trip automatic,
The shrimp salad was marvelous. Perfectly cooked shrimp, tender to bite into and not overcooked, and a light dill sauce were a perfect starter. Imhad the lobster roll, now $ 16.50, which was the best I’ve had outside of New England and the ones I make at home. Again, really fresh lobster meat, tender and moist, a generous portion on a grilled New England Style hot dog roll. If it only didn’t have sesame seeds… Not part of the traditional presentation. My friend had a big turky waldorf salad, which looked marvelous and so fresh. Unfortunately, I felt they could use tastier turkey or even roast chicken for better flavor and texture. We tried a Russian Biscote for dessert, similar to a large Rugula, which was to die for. Not to sweet and perfectly baked.

OMG Lemon Falls is THE reason to visit /​move to /​shop in /​buy a house in /​visit friends, etc. in CHAGRIN FALLS! Beautiful gourmet carry out prepared food & desserts! Unique specials & the nicest folks behind the counter! Love the Brussels Sprouts & then the Huge cookies for dessert! Just wish the hours made it open later…,

Refreshing tuna white bean salad nicoise, big enough for two, large personal bottle of chilied tap water was greatly appreciated on this hot summer day. Nice atmosphere and comfortable seating inside, Definitely will be back.

What a fabulous place for lunch! Ate outside; staff couldn’t be nicer. Had a variety of meals with my family and all were fresh & excellent!

If you are vegan — you’ll be disappointed. I have tried to order the veggie panini twice without cheese. The sign says they specialize in vegan, so this should be no problem right? Wrong. The first time, they begrudgingly made it without cheese. The second time, they refused, saying the shredded cheese was pre-​mixed with the veggies. So much for vegan and so much for fresh. They didn’t even bother to suggest a vegan alternative. Worst service I have seen in a very long time. If you can’t do customer service, don’t open a business. I will never return.

I can only speak for the nice ambiance and the strawberry lemonade. They both were great! I will have to try more at Lemon Falls located in the beautiful city of Chagrin Falls. Will write more when I try more :)

been to lemon falls many times for breakfast, lunch or a snack
my favorite is the short rib sandwich. .. insane!
if you have a sweet tooth — try one of the huge chocolate chip cookies from the big jar on the counter
i just had one & already want another

People complain that a lot of the items here are expensive, but I think they’re pretty average for a healthy, fresh, filling meal. I’ve been here a few times, and they have great sandwiches, salads, soups, pastries, etc. I really enjoy their iced tea! Next time you’re in Chagrin Falls, be sure to check this place out.

I have been to Lemon Falls a couple of times ever since I started working in the area back in January. Their vegan chili is my go to, especially in the colder months. Now, that I think about it I have never gotten anything from here that I didn’t enjoy. The only real problems with Lemon Falls are the wait times and the prices. I just don’t understand how it could take 35 minutes to pour a bowl of premade soup… I mean, maybe I am missing something here? All I know is any time I have ever ordered from here I have had to wait at least 25 – 30 minutes. It has gotten to the point where I don’t really go anymore because I don’t want to waster half my lunch break standing around.
The other issue is the pricing. A couple of examples:
A bowl of granola with milk: $ 4.75
Shredded chicken salad: $ 10.75
Bowl of soup: $ 5.25
Iced coffee: $ 3.30
It just seems a little too rich for my blood, but maybe it’s just me.

Cute little store. Everything on offer a bit pricey though.
Have been here a few times for takeout with most of it being decent. Best thing I’ve ordered was a lobster roll which had a huge helping and was fresh, seasoned perfectly and very good.

Pricey but worth it. Often a line at lunch. All items fresh made. Coffee great too if Starbucks, nearby, not to your liking.
Spotless eating area. 4 – 5 tables outside. Undeniable French café feel inside.
Destination lunchtime eats to enjoy Chagrin.

I have to say I’ve been a bit disappointed with Lemon Falls lately. Today I went there for lunch. Their soup of the day was a gazpacho. I got that along with a small container of their lobster pasta salad. The pasta salad was a bit bland and the gazpacho was good, but nothing special. The girl at the counter who took my order and handed me my food, never smiled and didn’t seem very happy. Both items together were over $ 9.
The last time I was here, the women who took my smoothy order made me the wrong one. When I mentioned I ordered a different one, she defended herself and said I had ordered the one she made. I ended up just taking it because I didn’t want to wait any longer.
I really want to love this place, but their customer service is far from excellent.

The lobster roll is one of the best I have had anywhere. The short rib sandwich is tasty as well, but I always come back for the lobster roll. None of these sandwiches include sides however. The salads are tasty as well. I enjoy the Kale Caesar and the Vietnamese Shredded Chicken are my two favorites. They also have a prepared foods case for easy meal options to go. Definitely a highly recommended stop in Chagrin Falls.

I can only speak to the very short trip that my friend I made to pick up some beverages after a long shopping day.
But it was only that one trip that made us immediately regret eating where we did earlier. This place is so damn cute!
It’s tiny, but mighty! Lots of teas, coffees and specialty drinks. There’s a counter to order salads and sandwiches to go or to enjoy there. Plus, there are some pre-​made items you can eat there or take home and warm up! I didn’t try anything yet, but it all looked delicious!
I did try the peach ginger iced tea and I was in heaven.
I can’t wait to come back and try more at this cute, little boutique-​y bistro and sandwich shop!
