Downtown Lemon Grove · Vietnamese coffee

Lemon Grove Coffee

A neighborhood café serves espresso, Vietnamese coffee, matcha, creative lattes, açaí bowls, pastries, and hot food.

Matcha

What people go for here

Go for an açaí bowl or one of the sweet signature lattes, especially the Hawaiian Creme Brulee or Honeycomb. The room feels warm, calm, and distinctly neighborhood-oriented, with friendly service and enough seating to meet a friend or settle in briefly with a laptop. The menu is broad enough to cover coffee, smoothies, fruit bowls, breakfast, and lunch, making it useful for mixed groups. Daily café hours run from early morning to late afternoon, but online ordering ends earlier.

Working here

Coffee-first / social
