cafe lemon tree

worth it. if u likegreatfood, friendly service and honey bread all at reasonable prices and don't care 4 too much ambience it is well worth it.

ok winnipeg !!!! the honey bread dessert. wherever you live in the city, take a drive some evening for a coffee or tea and the honey bread dessert. the original is carmel, they offer a chocolate version. in my opinion, this original carmel honey bread dessert is amazing ! think of a large piece of a toasted cinnamon bun cooked to perfection (crunchy on the outside soft on the inside) then cover it with the lightest and most flavourful whipped cream with drizzled carmel. i contemplated trying it because i thought it might be too sweet and i am not a fan of "honey flavoured" desserts, but it is the perfect combo of sweet and crunchy. can't say enough how good it is. lovely cafe atmosphere. you will be pleased you made the drive - it is something quite different and surprisingly sogreatthan anything else you will get anywhere in winnipeg, that's for sure.

amazing! tasty food,greatservice, lovely atmosphere. literally no complaints!!! the best!

cafe lemon tree is a fabulous place in south st. vital.  you have to go there!

cafe lemon tree has a calming and inviting demeanor.  from the moment you walk in, you feel transported to a different world:  somewhere between a tea house and a gift shop.  the decor is simple but appealing, with cute and unique cups, salt and pepper shakers, and knickknacks that remind you of a simpler time.  (a few interesting korean items are for sale.) 

our server was lovely!  she was so sweet and kind.  clearly she received as much joy from helping us, as we did in experiencing her delightful personality.

the menu is varied, with skillets, tempura, wraps, salads, sandwiches, bbq, and korean specials.  there is also a wide selection of coffees, from plain to decadent,  in addition to waffles, ice-cream, and cheesecake desserts.  prices are reasonable.

we had korean bbq skillets:  the dak-galbi (chicken and veggies in a spicy pepper sauce), and the tofu steak.  both were beautifully presented in piping hot skillets, and served with fresh grilled pineapple, fries, kim-chi, and rice, in addition to dainty bowls of tasty pickled, and sweet cabbage.

everything was fresh and delicious.

to top everything off, is a good luck tradition of writing your wishes on a lemon shaped paper which is then hung up either on a large garland that sweeps one side of the room, or on a tree near the door.  when you write them down, your wishes will come true, so we did just that, and added ours to the growing number of bright, cheery papers that adorn the room.

we arrived withgreatanticipation.  we were made to feel incredibly comfortable and welcome, and we left feeling uplifted and happy.  thank you cafe lemon tree for making our whole experience at a delight.!   :-)

we will be back.

if you look in the dictionary under "adorable," you'll find a picture of cafe lemon tree. the staff are effusively welcoming, the decor is sweet, and the chicken teriyaki skillet is piping hot and full of flavour. the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful -greatfor writing solo over a cup of coffee, meeting a friend for lunch, or having a relaxing date. the prices are very reasonable, and where can you find such variety: waffles, french fries, specialty tea, tempura? there's even something for my picky children. lemon tree is our family's go-to cafe.

went here before cheerleading practice yesterday.greatrelaxing and cute place with good food. the server was so cute she reminded me of an anime character but i think she was korean. anyways i'll be back for more

fantastic. my friends and i went here for lunch this morning and i would really recommend it. we ordered the okonomiyaki, skillet dduk boki and the original honey bread for dessert. the food was out quickly and was very good. like others on this site said, the honey bread was awesome and its big enough to share on one order. service wasgreattoo. they were kind enough to make something off menu for my friend's young son. that's a plus in my books. they have a pretty nice dessert section so i'll be sure to come back and try something out as an evening outing.

blossoming tea. jasmine blossoming tea!

korean goodness in st. vital. solid new family-operated restaurant in st. vital, with a modest tea house feel.
we decided to stay for dinner once we looked over the menu and selected the dak-galbi and bulgogi skillets. each was fresh, lookedgreatand tasted fantastic, just be careful if you do not like heat - the dak-galbi was spicy but sooo good.
for a treat at the end, we saved room for the honey bread (seriously, get the honey bread) and have now a new favourite place to stop at in st. vital.
p.s. get the honey bread already.
