I want to take a moment to thank Miguel and the team for saving my lunch presentation with clients today.They were already very busy with lunch orders and were still happy to help me with my 11-person last minute order.Food was delicious!While I’m going to ding them for not having chocolate chip cookies ready 😜, I’m still going to HIGHLY recommend them for your future lunch needs.

Fun lemonade-based drinks. The staff are attentive and efficient. If youre unsure of an order, you can ask to sample a few of the lemonade flavors. You can mix some of the flavors. I got the lavender elderflower lemonade mixed with some plain green tea to cut the sweetness.

Light and delicious meals. My meal came out to $21-24(?) which was two sides, a protein and rice. I got the Mexican street corn and mash potatoes (very tasty) with the grilled chicken (tender but a bit bland) with the spicy piri sauce. The sauce brought everything together. I don’t remember the exact price as I paid with cash. I got their classic lemonade and it was very good. Definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Counter service restaurant.Food was tasteful but lukewarm at best. I wish they were a bit warmer, especially for the salmon bowl. Room temperature food just makes it feel like the food was sitting around for awhile.The carrot and ginger lemonade was delicious. Serving sizes for the food and drinks were good.

This place is amazing. My wife and I are from out of town, weve been to lemonades before In LA but this one hit straight to home. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. George was so professional and explanatory doing his VERY best to make OUR experience (right off the airplane) such a GREAT start to our vacation.

Awesome service!I arrived here lunch time. I ordered Lobster, soba noodle, Lebanese cucumber, sesame: VERY tasty indeed, I wished Id gotten a full portion of this one! Broccoli, ricotta, champagne vinaigrette: DELISH. Best marketplace item by far. I love cucumber mint lemonade refreshing, a good balance between sweet and sour. It was charming and their spread was definitely unique in tastes and looks. Their desserts are rather on the sweet side, so it can be sickening after awhile but the quality is great and the atmosphere is lively. Lemonade is definitely one of the leaders of this new wave of semi-pricey salad lunch spots. And yes, you can add a protein like chicken, tuna, etc.

The poke-cado toast and lavender elderflower lemonade tasted as beautiful as they looked. Service was also great.

Brought my girls after kings game today thinking of a pleasant time after the game. Not one to give a bad review but figured others might want to know. Both workers present appear to be miserable working here and poor service. Lemonade was down to 3 options as well as most items on their menu at the time. When food was brought out... macncheese and mashed potatoes were cold as well... checken on mango bowl was hard and dry as if it had been sitting for some time. Hoping it was just a bad day here for them. Not somewhere I would come back.

I was on a model job and they provided lunches from this place, and I got the vegetarian box that had cauliflower in it, amazing 👏🏾 because it was curry cauliflower mixed with cranberries and nuts, I have never personally went to this place but now I plan to go

The lemonade definitely was good and I would go back for more if it was conveniently located to me. If you are in the neighborhood AND on foot, then it is completely worth it to stop in.But unless I was a tourist, I wouldnt go through the struggle to find parking (possibly paying a fee) just to eat or drink here repeatedly. There are however museums and other LA attractions within walking distance, so it wouldnt be hard to kill two birds with one stone.

The lemonades are very tastey and aesthetically pleasing. They dont leave any bad aftertaste or bitterness. It has a perfect balance of sweet and tanginess. Their mac and cheese is very savoury and delicious too I would recommend it. The poke isnt the best but also not bad. The citrus poached salmon fillet has a good flavor but it comes cold which i did not like i think it would have more flavor warm but thats just personal taste because it does have a good taste but i prefer it wouldve been warm. I cant remember which drink is which exactly but i believe from my picture the left one is a guava one the middle one was called blue iirc and the right one was the red drink which was hibiscus based which was my favorite. Over all the lemonade was great and the food was average (mac and cheese was bomb)

Beyond limp salads it can be hard to find healthy food in an airport. However, Lemonade has a pretty good offering of items like cauliflower curry salad, an edamame mix, beet couscous, and other options that are pretty rich in nutrients. While I’ve never had their bowls or sandwiches, they’re breakfast offerings are decent. The big downside is the ridiculously inflated prices - but that’s true of all airport eateries. All in all, it’s a good place to snag food that won’t make you feel awful.

The aesthetic of the food is amazing. The food itself not so much. I got the lavender lemonade and it tastes more like syrup than anything else.

This location is the spot, and the girls that work at this location are ALL GEMS. I need to express to the ladies at this location that they are very appreciated and that they are doing a terrific and fantastic job. I hope that their district manager reads this and they get recognized appropriately.

I appreciated the pineapple chicken side because it had protein and veggies. I only got that because there wasnt much middle of the road priced meals and I wanted to splurge on dessert because they had a gluten-free, dairy-free brownie (only the smores flavor when I was there). Terrible. Only gluten eaters put sorghum flour in baked goods these days - because they dont have to eat it. The frosting was good.The staff had no idea how I could redeem my discount for joining the email list I signed up for the day before my class trip. Got the email two days after my visit. Order ahead if going to MOCA service is slow if more than a couple people there.

I only ordered Lemonade when I was there, but my friend ordered food and it looked delicious. Everything was great. The employees were very nice and explained the items that they served since this was my first time being there. The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. The Lemonade was on point. Delicious, satisfying and not too sweet/sour. I will be back when we visit LA again.

This Lemonade location has always been my wife and I’s favorite place to stop by when in DTLA. It is located in the MOCA on the outdoor terrace across the street from the Broad Museum. If you are on foot, you will see the signs for Lemonade located on the lower level down the stairs. If you are taking the Dash, take the B route Dash and get off across the street (Broad Museum side). Cross the street to the MOCA Museum and you are there. Literally a 2 min walk. Today, the family and I tried their Ahi Poke bowl and their cucumber and lavender Lemonades. We also splurged and tried their Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter cookies. We haven’t been here in awhile and we were disappointed Lemonade has stopped selling their macarons. They used to be the cheapest and largest macrons under 4 dollars. It was literally the size of 3-4 tiny macarons combined into one. Service is always friendly here at this visit didn’t disappoint. One thing to note is Lemonade and the MOCA is stroller accessible, but you must use their wheelchair elevators in two different areas, which require MOCA staff, then a standard elevator. It’s accessible, however if you have a stroller or something you can collapse easily, do that instead to save you from having to use on their lifts/elevators. Dash Stop B is a few steps from the MOCA which will take you back to where you came all the way to Union Station and Chinatown. Enjoy your visit!

Ive never had the cuisine they have here at this place before - I would say maybe modern deli? They have sides which are kind of like salads (like a macaroni salad) but with veggies and other ingredients; they taste like theyre freshly made. Sandwiches too and other things. The lemonades are good not too sweet which works well with the foods. If its your first time try the sandwiches and sample some sides.

Nice selection of fast, take away food, that is more healthy and balanced than other fast food choices. Lavender and elderflower lemonade was a refreshing surprise that was not too sweet.

They got poke! It was pretty good but a bit pricey for what you get. Highly recommend the lavender elderflower drink. Its amazing! I had a hard time finding this location using google maps. Its down some stairs by the MOCA entrance.

The food is pretty good, and given the variety, they probably have something you will want. I especially enjoyed the cookies and flavored lemonade, although Ive had better ahi tuna steaks. Be prepared for the bill; all the sides you order can add up quickly.

We ordered the whole chicken for our family of 3. It being our first time we did not know this is not a full sized chicken, looked more like Cornish hen. Also menu did not say it was spicy, only one person ate it. The boba drinks are good though.

This review is only for the raspberry macaron. I was really excited for it, the texture of the meringue was okay, but it did have that artificial almond extract flavor. The filling.. was really weird. Smelled slightly of mayonnaise, texture and taste of cream cheese frosting. There were no flavors indicating it was raspberry. It was all in all really confusing and off-putting I would not recommend it.

It was a warm summer day and we had just gone through the drab MOCA experience (side note: not worth the $15/person price tag with how depressing the current offering is (as of June 23, 2017)) and wanted something refreshing to eat and drink.First impressionsThe first thing that struck me when I walked in was how everything sold at this place was pre-made and looked like various combinations of mush, noodles, and other vegan-esque offerings. All of the food looked pre-digested but some very large macarons caught my eye and we wanted to try the titular lemonade.LemonadeThe lemonade was standard fare, reasonably tasty, somewhat overpriced, and not particularly noteworthy.Macaron-strositiesThe macarons were a different story. There were three flavors: caramel, pistachio, and strawberry. Im a huge macaron nut so I wanted to try all three flavors. These things were $4 or $5 each and at least 4 inches in diameter. The protective papers we were given made no difference as each macaron-strosity disintegrated immediately, erupting cream all over our hands.The strawberry macaron was a tad too sweet but otherwise alright. The pistachio and caramel macarons on the other hand made the stickiness on our hands even more unwelcome when we realized how over-salted their creams were. It seemed like someone heard that salted caramel is a delicious trend so each worker separately added two tablespoons of granulated salt into the cream mix. The head worker must have wanted to save costs so he made the executive decision to reuse this salt crime with the pistachio macarons. Last but not least, the salt cream tasted very old and refrigerated as if the staff had compiled it three days prior then left it uncovered in the fridge to absorb all of the off-putting salad offerings this restaurant had.VerdictI would definitely not recommend getting the food here if the macaroons are any indication. I will say that the lemonade was sufficient if overpriced.

This small but fabulously fresh, electic, global food cafe, gives overpriced, expensive farm to table establisments, a run for its money. A wonderfully diverse selection of elevated sides/salads from curried cauliflower with golden raisins and almonds to roasted broccoli with Ricotta..hot braises that span stews from Thailand to Jamaica, But for me, the Poke bowls were some of the most authentic and balanced, utterly delicious Ive had outside of Hawaii. A difficult choice between 3 classics. I opted for the Spicy Fin with sizeable fresh pink chunks of Ahi tuna, Tobiko and Edamame in a subtle wasabi like sauce..served with robust soba buckwheat noodles...I was in transported back to Kauai...Great staff, great food..go for the bowls or plates and youll get better bang for your buck.
