It looks like a fast food restaurant, but the food is way better. There is a buffet-style line, but your selected food choices are served to you, thankfully on porcelain dishes, not on plastic or styrofoam. The only plastic items I saw were the water tumblers. There is a good amount of tables and chairs in the restaurant; so, no problem finding a seat. That may be different during the week when the lunch crowd comes in.
Our family has always enjoyed visiting Lemonade on Lake. We stopped for lunch on Tuesday 1/16. I ordered the ahi tuna bowl and was not alarmed when I was served a piece of fish that was already prepared (for who knows how much in advance).I got home 45 minutes later with bloating and stomach pain. Two days of severe tummy trouble (do I need to be graphic?) and I decided to call the restaurant and advise them of my experience.Their answering service does not allow you to leave a message or to actually speak to a staff member.Very disappointing.Won’t be back.

I've been a big fan of this restaurant for 10 years. Conveniently located in beautiful Pasadena, this place is welcoming, offers a wide variety of super healthy food.Parking: Garage or street
I've passed by Lemonade frequently on my coffee trips to Philz and just recently tried their food. The ambiance in the restaurant is really nice, with the place usually not being crowded at all. There are plentiful indoor and outdoor seats, and the restaurant itself is super clean. I ordered the Braised Angus Beef Comfort Bowl, which had beef, mashed potatoes, string beans, tomatoes, and cauliflower/broccoli. The beef was very tender and the vegetables were also pretty good as well. I do think that the mashed potatoes and the vegetables were lacking a little on salt, but otherwise, I definitely would recommend the food! The service was fast, and they assemble the bowl in front of you with pre-made ingredients (similar to Chipotle style). Lemonade's ambience and location makes it a perfect location to grab a quick bite. The food is above average, but not spectacular; still I would definitely recommend and I will be back to try more of their menu (and perhaps some of their actual Lemonade).

Lavender Lemonade and Blood Orange Lemonade are to die for! Also a must try is the seared ahi tuna so good!

Kind of an assembly line ordering place where you build your own bowls kinda like chipotle. Food was pretty great and we got our food quickly. Unsurprisingly they have a giant selection of lemonade flavors. Place is pretty large with lots of seating both inside and out.

I left before ordering because they were soooo slow, no sense of urgency at all

Customer Service is awesome, food is delicious, cute place .First time being here , cute set up , honestly I didn't think this is a food place I thought it was just a lemonade place. Rice and chicken was delicious , Chicken was not dry, lots of flavor. Rice made perfect not sticky . Recommend to try this place out , won't be disappointed, full menu with lots to choose from.

I was extremely disappointed after eating here. The food did not taste or appear fresh. The sweet potatoes were hard and undercooked. The dessert was tiny and did not taste good. Worst of all, there was techno music blasting so loud it have me anxiety and I had to exit the restaurant. It sounded like 5 car alarms going off at once. This was a waste of money and a terrible experience.

I use to love this place but I don't understand how the owners have not taken care of the disgusting smell... it's been YEARS! What is going on??? Came in today and sandwich was tasty but made the mistake of sitting inside. Probably won't be back for another few years. Hopefully you guys learn how to clean.
Food is good but I can't eat inside here for the life of me. It smells horrid of wet rags and dirty old water. How does no one notice this? It's so pungent right upon coming inside. Has been for years.

Food is consistent , love their salmon, cooked well and good taste.Never went in before , usually order to go but they seem to run efficiently. Also tried the roast beef which was very tender and lots of flavors , recommend getting the rice if you are hungry to keep you full.

Came to this location at 10:40am and the doors were locked. Sign on the door and the website say it opens at 10am but it definitely not open.I would recommend you call the store to place an order to make sure they're open before you go and waste your time(especially since you have to pay for parking here).

- Delicious and healthy food- Friendly and helpful employees- Aesthetically pleasing outside and almost inside (floor could use a deep clean/renovation - gives off “dirty”)
