Green Lemon Café

I’m a fan. Before I discovered my gluten allergy, I tried a crêpe and it was very authentically French. That’s hard to find here in Central FL!
I’ve been back a couple of times for omelettes and such, and I’ve never been disappointed. The ingredients taste fresh and the café potatoes are on point. Considering that there aren’t many good brunch places in the area that open before 11:00, this is a great alternative.

I used to like Green Lemon Café, but my most recent visit was really kinda eh.
I got the Caprese Crêpe, and while the balsamic tasted nice, the mozzarella was super rubbery, which made it difficult to eat. Maybe that’s my fault for ordering it, but it was not great.
My fiancé got the Turkey Brie Benedict, which tasted good, though seemed to be a little overpriced. The main issue with his was that his plate was not sitting evenly on the table, so I was holding his plate for him while he tried to cut his food up. I know I’m being picky, but most places I go to don’t have plates that try to turn eating into a game of Wheel of Fortune with unlimited wheel turns.
I do like that you have the option for a whole wheat crêpe though, that’s a nice touch.

Excellent crepes. We tried the Norwegian and turtle crepes. Presentation and blend is good
Service was good. Wish they had another location closer to downtown Orlando. But well worth the drive. They also have outdoor seating.

Well, even though they microwaved the filling for my crêpe, which kinda weirded me out at first, but I got over it, they were actually not bad. The service was a little confused and the prices are a little… eh, well it’s Winter Park, but overall I’d rather go here than some of the other choices close by that plaza.
Not somewhere I’d go all the time, but certainly not a place I’d always overlook.
It was Ok.

I’ve seen a lot of ads and coupons for this place in the local papers, so I decided to check it out for myself when I was in the area!
This is a small, cute place to eat a quick and delicious lunch for a good price. I’d never been there before and I felt strange staring at the menu for too long before ordering at the counter, so I ordered the first thing that caught my attention: the chicken florentine crêpe. I chose a whole wheat crêpe (original is available too), and inside they put chicken, mushrooms, cheese, and spinach. The crêpe was topped off by a drizzle of crème fraîche and fresh pesto.
I waited at an outside table for my crêpe, and it was placed in front of me in about ten minutes or less. The flavor was great, and I really enjoyed the meal! I would definitely come back and have lunch, or possibly a dessert crêpe!

Small but cute, friendly and utterly delicious.
Savory smells as soon as the door opens. The menu is extensive and everything is made fresh so you can ask for any additions or adjustments. I went with the cheddar/​broccoli/​turkey crêpe and it was luscious. Yes, oozing with melted cheddar cheese, fresh thick sliced turkey and tons of broccoli, it was perfect. I also tasted Elizabeth F’s and I believe it was a take on a Monte Cristo and it was the perfect blend of sweet and salty. I can’t wait to go back for dessert!
Loved the local art displayed throughout, such a local love feel. They were out of fountain drinks but had bottled options. They have an extensive list of other items as well so take your time in deciding and go back often to try more!
I don’t understand people who eat at the Subway 2 stops down… they are missing out hard core. And don’t miss driving by this place as the sign simply states: Café.

Crepes yum.
I ordered the Norwegian crêpe with a whole wheat crêpe. It was a smoked salmon caper goodness with the saltiness offset by the crêpe and some sort of yogurt sauce. It sure helped me with latest food obsession — smoked salmon. I enjoyed the whole wheat crêpe. It successfully tricked me into thinking I was eating healthy. My crêpe was kind of pricey but it is more reasonable for the non-​fancy crepes. I am adding this to my list of places to get a quick and great meal.

After months of having this place bookmarked, I finally got a chance to go and eat there. I was pleasantly surprised… and I am giving this place 5 stars.
The café was pretty busy inside and outside on an early Sunday afternoon, and while there was an apparent hustle and bustle behind the counter, we were greeted and ordered very quickly. The man behind the counter was really nice and gave my boyfriend and I wonderful service. There is no waitstaff, but employees would come around to bus the tables and make sure things were alright.
I got the chicken florentine crêpe, and
.god. it was delicious. I am craving one right now just writing about it. The crêpe was perfect and the filling was tasty and not under or overstuffed.
We also got a nutella and strawberry crêpe, and devoured it immediately.
I love this little place, and the high rating is not only for the food and service provided, but for the hard work that the owner (s) are putting into the store. I do not know the owners, nor do know if the owner was there during my visit, but you can tell that he/​she/​they really care about their customers and the success of their café. Bravo to you. Thank you for opening a lovely little shop in this plaza!

Let me start out by saying that the food here is quite good. Why then am I giving it such a horrid rating? I just had the worst customer service experience at any restaurant I’ve ever had. The restaurant stopped serving their brunch menu 20 minutes before the stated time. In and of itself this could be simply irritating but when combined with the fact that we had called ahead of time and asked about this specific menu and it’s availability we were directly told that it would still be available so long as we arrived before the time it was supposed to close.
The person taking the order was a magnificent combination of being incredibly rude and simply not caring at all that my party was upset about this. When we asked for the manager/​owner we were told that they were unavailable and when they were able to contact her on the phone she was unwilling to speak with me, and despite the fact that I left my name and number has still not bothered to call me back. I’ve never in my life heard of an owner unwilling to even speak with a customer regarding customer service. I can only assume an owner that does not care about their restaurant’s image or their customers.
For a restaurant to be worth coming to they need three things: good food, a clean restaurant, and reasonable customer service. For me to get upset enough to place this review is testament to the dismal customer service I received.
TLDR — Good food with service so horrendous you’ll regret wasting your time walking in the door.

I’ve been wanting to try this place because I heard it was owned by an old High School friend of mine. Tried onece before months ago but it was too busy to order. Tried again yesterday, walked in and was immediatly turned off by the atmosphere.
1. Very sloppy looking teenagers not too happy to be working that day, tats all over the place, with no adults in sight.
2. Local classic rock station playing very loud on the sound system
Turned around and left because I could tell the owners no longer care
Atmosphere is very important in an independent restaurant, when I think of crepes, I think of a nice country bistro, quiet restaurant, with quaint, friendly people working happily through the day.
And I LOVE classic rock but not when I eat lunch at a quaint crêpe restaurant.

I finally went to this place since I’ve been wanting to try their crepes for ages. I got a vegetarian crêpe, it was quite tasty and I have to say one of the best crepes I’ve tasted in Orlando. I can’t wait to go back to try other crepes.
Staff’s friendly, nice and bright place with big window to look out to. Nice little patio except it can get humid and hot in Orlando.
Love crepes!

I dined at Green Lemon Café with two friends of mine from out of town for lunch on a Saturday. The crepes are delicious and melt in your mouth. I also liked the fact that you could choose a wheat crêpe, which makes you feel like you’re eating somewhat healthy. One of my friends ordered a sandwich (I believe it was pastrami), which was filled with a decent portion of meat. One crêpe was served much later than the others, but there was no apology from the staff. It seems like lack of service is a theme I’ve noticed with other reviews too. I would definitely come back again because the food was excellent, but perhaps at a different time to avoid the lunch crowd.

I had read some good things about this place, so I decided to check it out. We walked in and there were three people sitting at the counter. I assumed they were customers since they didn’t greet us. It turned out that they all worked there. They all seemed a bit unhappy that customers had walked in.
We both ordered the veggie panini. We each got the multigrain bread. It had pesto, mushrooms, red peppers and spinach. They also came with some chips and a pickle spear. They were ok. Nothing special. The mango tea was also not notable. Between the unspectacular food and the lack of customer service, I say skip this place. It probably won’t be around long anyway.

I usually come here for lunch with my co-​workers, but I came one evening craving for dessert about 8pm on april fool’s day 4−1−11 and was told that it was closing, but I can get it to go if I wanted and I just now notice the closing hours is at 9pm. So i’m not sure if they close early because its dead or not? I thought it was a bit weird and very disappointing because I love their crepes.

Simple, delectable breakfast. We found this place solely by Unilocal and were very impressed. I had the Norwegian crêpe which had smoked salmon, capers, red onion, and crème fraîche. My fiancée had a crêpe with raspberry jam, ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and crème fraîche. Both were fantastic. We sat outside… the weather was perfect, and were within walking distance of Whole Foods right after to go pick up some dinner and wine for later.
Overall, we’d definitely come back. It’s a smaller place in a shopping plaza, but the food was just great. It takes a little longer to get your food, but hey, these are crepes. When it does come, it will be well worth the wait. The ambiance is nice enough and it fits the type of place pretty well. About $ 20, give or take, for two people, which is perfectly reasonable.
If you’re looking to spend the day in Winter Park, this is a must-​try for a late breakfast. They have a lot of other stuff on the menu, but I’ll keep myself busy trying all the different kinds of crepes first.
Oh and uhhhh, if you were to «happen to get a side of bacon», you’ll be glad you did ;)

I just discovered this place this morning. Summary: Delicious!
Turkey Brie crêpe: had a bite, wonderful!
Monte Cristo crêpe: Fantastic! Ate every last bite!
I can’t wait to go back and try more!

Nice spot to grab a bite, everything is cooked to order and very fresh. Crepes are lovely, authentic with a variety of savory and sweet fillings on the menu and for specials. Tea is nice. I have to remember to try their brunch!
We usually grab a table outside, they are dog friendly and all the staff is super nice. You place the order inside and they find you if you’ve grabbed a table.

I’m so on the fence about this place. Good vibes, friendly staff, awesome selection. But I’ve been here a few times, & each time I have spent $ 15 (or right under $ 15, or right over $ 15) on just me, & once was even including a coupon! I love love love a place that has sooo many things to choose from that you get frustrated, LOL. I’ve done a lunch crêpe, a dessert crêpe, a salad, & a sandwich. Their «greens» salad is what wowd me the most. Their food is decent, nothing has been yucky. I’m just not sure it’s worth those crazy bucks. Sides & drinks aren’t included in the crêpe price, so that’s what adds up. I just dunno, for $ 15, I think I’d rather take myself on a date to the Outback Steakhouse next door.

Heaven on a plate!
Nestled in the Whole Foods shopping center at Aloma and Lakemont you will find a cute little café… The Green Lemon Café. Note: The building only has «CAFE» for signage and parking in the shopping center can be an issue
I ordered their special crêpe of the day which was the Chicken Mediterranean. It contained Chicken (scrumptiously flavored), feta cheese, pesto, and red peppers. It normally comes with mushrooms and onions but I left those off. My crêpe and bottled water were less than $ 10.
My friend ordered a Spinach and Cheese Quiche which came with a mixed greens salad. She said it was really good as well. There were several items that were vegetarian friendly.
They have Crepes, Panini, Salads, Soups, Sandwiches, and Smoothies. Several of the items were unique and I will definitely be back to try some of the dessert crepes and brunch! Every item on their menu is less than $ 10.
I am knocking off a star because my friend’s quiche came out at least five minutes after my crêpe… so my food was lukewarm by the time her dish arrived. Also, based on how we were looking around and thoroughly examining the menu it was obvious we had never been there before. Yet the girl behind the counter did not say hello to us or ask us if we needed any help.
I am planning on trying their brunch which they serve from 10 – 2 on Sundays.
The food will definitely bring me back…

I’ve been wanting to check this place out since reading the reviews on Unilocal.Thing is, I’m not really that big of a crêpe fan. Still though, I wanted to try it and I’m glad I did!
When perusing the menu, the first thing that came to mind was how similar the crêpe menu was to the flatbread menu at Urban Flats. I saw at least 3 crepes that have the same ingredients\flavor profiles, and I actually ordered one. My dinner was the turkey, apple and brie crêpe, and I added mushrooms, and opted for the whole wheat crêpe.
It was ok. The whole wheat made it a heavier, more satisfying meal but the turkey and mushrooms were barely warm. Warm enough though for the meat to taste really salty.
My rec would be to use roasted turkey instead of smoked, and switch out the brie with smoked gouda or smoked provolone. I think that would make this one much better, and maybe a bit more original.
Anywho… I split a dessert crêpe with 2 other people, which I highly recommend doing because HOLY CRAP was it sweet.
I would go back but next time I’ll probably order from the non-​crêpe side of the menu.
