This was my first time visiting this shop and I will definitely be back. I was greeted as soon as i walked through the door. The staff was warm and helpful assisting me in selecting a lemon dessert i was in search of. I decided on the lemon cake. It was delicious and the slice is huge- enough for two people. They also have a great variety of coffees and teas. The shop is neat and quiet with seating available for dine in. Must visit if you are in the Carmel area!

Super excited to find this bakery. Only giving three stars because the counter service was lacking. My latte was luke warm and when I got home realized she put the incorrect cupcakes in the bag. Bummer! I was looking forward to the Hershey's cupcake.Parking: Easy to park

I was not aware that there was more than one Lemon's Bakery Cafe in Central Indiana, however, it appears directly related to the expansion of Needler's Fresh Market. Much like the downtown Indy location, Lemon's is technically located within the Carmel Needler's. However, Lemon's has its own separate entrance and storefront while existing on the east end of Needler's. You can access Needler's directly from Lemon's Bakery Cafe.Lemon's has a small counter with display cases for its baked goods. Like the downtown Indy location, they offer sweets from Noblesville's Rosie's and they offer a variety of local coffees and a rather extensive list of coffee options. There's also a relatively small dining area with booths appropriate for 2-3 people. I found this area not entirely wheelchair friendly, though I could make it work. My best option was sitting at the end of a row of booths which put me pretty much close to the door on a rather chilly day. The employee working was super quiet but friendly and helpful. I ordered two chocolate frosted donuts, they have donuts, and I was honestly a bit stunned they were only $2 total. They do have higher-priced items, of course. The donuts were fresh and delicious and definitely hit the spot on a rainy, dreary day here in Indy. I appreciated that the doors were automatic doors and that there was accessible parking directly in front of the entrance. I also appreciated being able to check out Needler's, though to grab a cart you do have to go down to the Needler's entrance. While I wouldn't consider Lemon's a destination bakery, I wouldn't hesitate to stop in while in the area and this has become a nice little strip center with Needler's, a CVS, Roots Burger Bar, Rad's, and a couple other fun businesses to check out here. Business was steady in the few minutes I was here and it seems to be a stop for neighborhood families. If you're in the area and craving some baked goods Lemon's is a convenient, affordable option that also supports local!

While having a break between watching basketball games nearby, my husband and I decided to stop here (specifically Lemon's) for a quick snack. We entered through Lemon's Bakery Cafe. When we first walked in there was no one in the cafe, but we did spot a woman restocking a shelf nearby. We waited for a few minutes until eventually a manager spotted us and instructed her to go help. She was apologetic and a bit flustered, as she promised us she didn't see we were standing there. She admitted it was her second day on the job and she was still figuring things out as she took our latte and donut order. In the end, both the cake donut and latte were decent but nothing special. If I'm in the area, I would stop in again for a quick coffee or treat, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone. The space is cute though and could be good for working.
