We (Jones Dairy ES PTA) recently had dinner catered for a meeting at our school. They were so communicative, worked with us on logistics and dietary restrictions, and even created a form for us to send to all the attendees so they could track the orders themselves. Everyone commented on how delicious the meals were. We will definitely use The Lemon Tree again in the future for our catering needs!

the food menu was only grab and to go and the salad was not good, the dressing had no flavor. they did take and bakes before for work so I liked their breakfast options but def never getting a salad again. Willing to try the take options for a dinner.

The Lemon Tree is an outstanding restaurant that has become a staple in my life. Their selection of ready-made meals has been a lifesaver for me during busy weeks, and their commitment to quality and service is unmatched. As a local business owner myself, I have recognized and appreciated the hard work and dedication that the team at The Lemon Tree puts into their craft.The Harvest Salad is one of my favorite dishes on their menu, made with fresh blue cheese, crisp apples, tart dried cranberries, and perfectly candied almonds. The salad is perfectly balanced, and the addition of their pomegranate poppy seed dressing adds an extra hint of sweetness that truly brings the dish together.If you're looking for a top-notch café' in the area, The Lemon Tree should be at the top of your list. Whether you're in the mood for a quick and easy meal or a full ready made dinner experience, they offer something for everyone. I highly recommend this restaurant and am confident that you will enjoy your experience as much as I have. Five stars all around!

We were excited to try a new cafe in the area. However we don’t plan to return. Everything is premade (nothing is made to order) so you can’t make any changes to the menu items. Don’t like mayo? Too bad, can’t change it. Even though nothing is custom made, we waited half an hour for a cup of soup and two wraps. The food was average. Our order cost $30, so it’s not a cheap place. And, the complementary brownie bite was a measly crumb of a corner of a brownie. Clearly, the premade food business model is not working. The only good quality is the bookstore environment.

Cute place with alot of potential . Nice it has the bookstore and a good variety. I feel like they were understaffed the day we were there. It took quite a while and the larger salad was only available in the to go case which is really odd . Also my food was very underseasoned which was disappointing.
I had the Lemon Tree cater my daughter’s baby shower and it was amazing. They allowed me to pick it up the evening before as the shower was at 11 and we were doing a brunch. They helped me figure out how much food I needed and what impressed me the most was when I suggested something in addition, they said I didn’t need it unless it was something that I just wanted. Most places will sell you whatever they can.I would absolutely recommend them to everyone and I will use them again.

This is definitely a place to give a try if you haven't yet.My personal favorites are the broccoli salad and tomato soup, but unfortunately this particular soup is not a year round thing (but it's good when they have it!). The turkey/mozz/pesto sandwich is possibly a tie for my top faves here.Brought my dad here last year. He's been vegan for a decade now, and eating out is sometimes a bit of a challenge, looking to find places with both variety and taste. He loved every vegan bite, and I know he's a bit jealous that we have something this good and close in our community.Vegetarian options: Good selection of vegetarian options.

The Lemon Tree is amazing! We have a newborn and a toddler and joined their weekly meal service right after the baby was born. It's been a life saver! Great value for the cost, great food choices (I often add on extra's) and portions are perfect. Food is delicious and staff is super nice!

Love Lemon Tree's new location! I recently took advantage of their meal gifts for a friend in need and it was so nice to be able to provide a large, delicious meal (salad, entree, AND dessert!) for someone who needed some extra love. Will be returning for my own lunch and will definitely use the meal gift service again!

The Lemon Tree is our favorite restaurant in Wake Forest. They always have outstanding food and impeccable customer service. Everyone here treats you like family and they put so much heart and soul into all that they do. From their classes to their holiday menu selections, it is always wonderfully created.
Great service. Wish the food were better.
