What recent reviews say
The Lemon Tree draws crowds for its bright, airy dome design and lemon-themed decor, but experiences point to a steep quality gap between ambiance and kitchen output. Drinks and pastries are solid when fresh, yet mains often disappoint (bland sauce, overcooked eggs, fishy fish), and staff courtesy varies wildly from warm to dismissive depending on time of day and crowd levels.
Recent shift: Food quality decline noted in one recent 1-star review: reviewer claims the lemon cake is now "super dry and painfully sweet" compared to their past visits. Another recent 2-star review cites inconsistent food and a takeaway discount sign with unclear timing.
Praised for
- cozy, well-lit atmosphere with lemon tree decor
- friendly staff and welcomes on peak visits
- decent specialty coffee and latte art
- good pastries and desserts (lemon yuzu cake praised)
Watch-outs
- food quality inconsistent: dry cakes, bland mains, fishy prawns
- slow service during lunch, understaffed periods
- poor service basics: no greeting, unclear ordering system, no courtesy
- overpriced for portion and quality, 10% service tax added

Think twice if: you are hungry for substantial or complex mains; food quality and service both vary; 10% service tax applies; avoid peak lunch hours if impatient
Strengths

- reliable specialty coffee and pastries
- natural light and comfortable seating for lingering
Worth knowing
- Glass dome seating structure with natural lighting

- Paid parking available
