Lemon Tree is a hidden gem. This is my first time coming to this restaurant. I say a hidden gem because it is located off the Old Town Pasadena a bit on Holly. However the food were fantastic! Their service was excellent. My husband loved the Benedict he ordered. He had the crab Benedict which they actually use good quality crab meat and very generous. I ordered a waffle. It was super good! There are nice outdoor seating which would be very nice. The day we went were about 85° outside so we opt for the inside option. Parking- you will need to find street parking around the area. Download the “Passport” App to pay for meter in this Pasadena area. Very convenient. I do that all the time! Highly recommend you give it a try when you are in town! Good luck! 🙂

Here today for my Mothers Day breakfast and honestly couldn’t have found a better restaurant! The iced sea salt caramel coffee was to die for! Don’t even get me started on the banana foster fresh French toast and caramelized banana…OMG! The chicken and waffles with gravy, holy moly! We also had the eggs Benedict and meat lover omelette. The ambience, the food and the service, all fantastic! You must come here if you are in town!!

Lovely Ambiance
I fell in love with this little cafe, passed it first try to find it, second time around we noticed the yellow umbrellas. We sat outside in the crisp air, great atmosphere, music was romantic. Coffee was hot and tasty. Eggs Benedict was so fresh with wonderful flavor. The whole experience made for a lovely morning bunch.

It’s my first time dining in and I love the California orchard inspired interior. The steak and baby potatoes were tender. The lemon tree pancake was sweet and tart; the lemon dill butter was a nice contrast. I need to come back and try their other items.

Husband and I tried this place last weekend, early in the morning when they just opened. It was really empty, which I actually preferred. The next customers didn’t even come in until after we had finished up and paid the tab.

What an excellent find! We first went on a Sunday morning and ordered the eggwich sandwich and the regular Benedict. Both were so good (and so was the coffee) that we opted to come again Monday. Had the caprese toast and the bananas foster French toast. Both excellent. Both days were busy but not packed with folks. As others have noted, the prices are nominally higher than other breakfast joints, but the food was great, so we were okay with it. The service was a bit slow, but in these post-covid days, that has almost become a norm, so our feathers weren’t ruffled by it. Food service folks deserve some grace and patience from the patrons.

Came in looking for a lil breakfast. Had the Belgian Waffle with berries. Waffle was perfect, and the berries tasted very fresh. Staff was so polite and friendly and the atmosphere was very calming, an excellent place to sit down and enjoy a little something. Thank you for a lovely meal! Small thing but please put a coat hanger in the restroom!

Great brunch place but they’re definitely under staffed. We usually take them to-go to avoid the crowd but the food taste so much better when dining in. Their short ribs benedict is amazingly great. I also enjoyed their fish and chips. The California omelette was so-so but I do like their serving of baked small potatoes than fried hash in other places. Healthier option for sure.

This was a great little place. The food was excellent. I had the salmon eggs Benedict. My friend had the simple breakfast, and we shared some from French toast. The salmon was fresh, the potatoes were crisp, and the French toast was new and interesting it had crushed cornflakes on it? The service was delightful, I think cause we were the only diners in there at 8 a.m. but as the morning progressed, more folks showed up but the service was still excellent! The vibe was chill and friendly. Next time in Pasadena, I will be back!
