3.0 Lemon (Dawson St) 3.0 star review:
Popped in to Lemon for brunch this weekend - I got the Mexican premium crepe and my boyfriend got the Breakfast one. Firstly, I asked for a gluten free crepe (as I'm gluten intolerant and the only reason I went there was because I knew they had this on their menu)
I was informed that they didn't have any so the server (who was mumbling, and I was hungover) just encouraged me to get the regular crepe.
The value wasn't great for what I got, about a tenner for a sloppy plate of mainly sauce, not much meat or cheese. And of course, I got a stomach ache straight after since I wasn't given the buckwheat. Won't be going back.

This is one of my favourite places to go for breakfast or dessert! My weakness is the choc ice option - melted chocolated buttons within a crepe and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I've ordered and enjoyed their savoury crepes in the past however I think that as a lunch, it is not very filling. On the downside, I find that the prices are a little steep for such simple ingredients (in the case of the choc ice anyway). Though maybe this is just my student mentality. This place is great as a treat nontheless and find the staff some of the most friendly I've ever encountered. Highly reccomended.

I LOVE this place. Never ever disappointed. The crepes are superb, the toasted sandwiches delicious. All ingredients are of the highest standard, and the coffees are perfect. Some of the crepes can be a little pricey, but overall, it really is the greatest little brunch place in Dublin!

Lemon is great for a casual bite for lunch, its right across the road from me in work, popped over last tuesday for a bite.
My favourite dish by far is the Mexicano Extra - Melted cheddar, streaky bacon, tomato, salsa & guacomole.
Service to me is very fast food, nothing special or memorable. But the pancakes taste good if that's what your after.
I think next time im gonna go for one with chocolate and strawberries outside with a coffee ...

3.5 Lemon (Dawson St) 3.5 star review:
Lemon is good for lunch or a quite bite. The staff are very efficient and they have a great variety of snacks on the menu from crepes (sweet & savoury) to paninis.
The only downfall is that they often don't provide enough filling (personally). This is especially the case with the dessert crepes.
However, the food is fast, good value for money and very tasty. I will continue to be a regular for lunch.

This branch of Lemon is always really busy. That creates a good atmosphere, if you're happy to sit next to people you don't know. The staff are friendly and helpful. My only issue with the atmosphere is that if it's cold outside the restaurant is pretty cold too as the door is almost always open. I had the French Toast on my most recent visit and found it pretty stodgy and wouldn't order it again, but my friend absolutely loved her crepe and loved that she could get a great range of gluten free crepes. This place doesn't suit every diet (e.g. vegan / dairy free), but if it does suit your diet I imagine you would love it! The crepes are quite good value for money for what they are - very filling. It's nice that all their coffees and hot drinks are served with a little chocolate too.

Deceptively filling pancakes. Good range of choices for what you want in them, both savoury and sweet. Lemon and sugar is a good safe bet and chicken and cheese is nice if you want to fill up. A bit pricey but nice for a change

I had to pay Lemon a visit as I was in town and it was Pancake Tuesday. This is one of my favourite mornings stops and again it didn't disappoint. We got in about 1230 so just beat the lunch rush which was soon out the door and down the street. We had traditional pancakes which were lovely as usual. Good coffees too. It's a little expensive for what you get, but with good tunes and buzzy,friendly staff who seemed to thrive under pressure (especially the two crepe makers) you don't mind so much. My only quibble was getting the coffees some time after the pancakes, but a minor detail on their busiest day of the year.

Really nice place to pop in for lunch, or a coffee and a treat (nutella ice waffle is delicious). The savoury crepes are really good, and they are completely flexible about adding or changing ingredients.
My favourites are - Vegetarian Power Plus and the Club sandwich.
The chocolate ones are all delicious and the ingredients are fresh.
The staff are always busy, but very friendly.
Very happy and it is a staple for any Trinity student
