Lemon Slice Cafe

6/5.Lemon slice is amazing. My partner and I split the tibs and chicken panini. Both were amazing and came with a nice little side salad. This food is so incredibly priced at the current market. The owner, Beth, was super kind and we had great service. This is a hidden gem and I can't wait to come back. Quiet enough to be a study spot with great food. Definitely worth the stop!

I wish I took a picture before I dug into my panini! Please try the tibs, they're delicious!! Beth came to greet us just for the heck of it and she's a doll. It's a small, unsuspecting cafe in Silver Spring, but all the best places are!

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Meeting Mrs. Beth was like meeting a long lost relative. Nothing but love. She is the nicest owner I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I've never had Ethiopian food so I was a bit anxious with selecting what to eat! Mrs Beth recommended I try the kifto panini and awaze tibs and let me tell you.. after my first bite of each of my sandwiches. I just stood up and gave her a hug. They were both out of this world delicious. I simply couldn't believe what I was missing from my life. Mrs. Beth seemed overjoyed by my reactions and she insisted I try some treats on the house and so I did and everything was just marvelous. I'll sit through 270 traffic any day to come here! This place is a must try!

The ambiance was amicable, soft light, welcoming smiles, and a happy place. That was my first impression. I asked for a suggestion and my food was ready, warm and deliciousI had the "Awaze Tibs Panini". The taste also comes from the owners passion for making the best dishes for her customers. My first time there but the highlight of my week. Keep it up

After hearing so many great things about this place, I decided to stop by for lunch. When I entered, they had jazz playing, which was very nice. It's a small space, with a few tables available both outside and inside for dining. I ordered a chicken club wrap to go, and it was delicious! I usually worry about ordering chicken because it tends to be dry, but not here. It was flavorful and juicy.There were only three workers, and they moved at a slow pace to get the orders out. However, I'm not mad about the pace; it was clear they were deliberately taking their time to get the orders right. Just don't go if you're in a hurry. :DI will definitely be back again.

Ambiance lovely. Great hole in the wall. If you're in one of the hotels nearby come here. Lovely music and excellent service. I had the soup of the day (pictured) which was warm, comforting and so flavorful along with the Awaze Tibs Panini (which comes with a side salad). The sandwich also had nice spice too it that wasn't overwhelming with spice. I'm stingy with my 5 stars that's all.

I ordered for a crew of 8 working nearby, including myself, and was unbelievably impressed by this place. I only tried the hummus wrap and awaze tips panini - both were spicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I seriously think this is one of the top 5 restaurants I've been to in the DMV area. The owner is so kind, as she even helped me carry the to-go bags to my car. If I lived closer, I would come here all the time. Please support this local business, it is so worth it!

THE BEST PLACE IVE BEEN TO IN A WHILE! First of all as soon as you enter the cafe Mrs. Beth greets you with the sweetest smile ever. she asked if it was the first time and gave us a menu in hand to look at and recommended a few times on the menu. She came over and checked on us a few times and made sure we had everything we needed! The chicken pesto panini was delicious that pesto sauce had so much flavor! I tried some of the kitfo panini and WOW I can't even describe the flavor except explodes in your mouth and wishing this pace was closer to me! I traveled all the way from frederick for this and I promise you it's worth the drive. The Awaze Tibs was out of this world i should've ordered more than one. We dined in so they serve each panini with a side salad with a zesty dressing. This would be the go to place if i had one nearby. She was so generous enough to let us try some of the famous lemon slice cake. She truly was a gentle soul like a friend who truly feels like family. Wish for nothing but success to her and the business. Mrs.Beth thank you for the experience!!!

Lemon Slice Cafe in downtown Silver Spring is a gem! Piping hot, delicious soup, a vibrant and accommodating staff, and scrumptious sandwiches make it a must-visit spot.

Such a sweet little cafe. We arrived just after they opened on a Sunday and it was quiet with relaxing, ambient music playing. We ordered a sausage breakfast sandwich on a croissant and a veggie breakfast sandwich, both of which were so good. A veggie breakfast sandwich with spinach and mushrooms can easily go south but this was the best I've had in a long time. Whatever the marinade or sauce is is so perfect. We also ordered two coffees and those were great. I was bummed they didn't have an espresso machine but they offer to add cream and sugar to your coffee for you and that hit the spot for my usual vanilla latte. Plenty of indoor or outdoor seating, WiFi, and vegan options, this hidden gem has a bit of everything. The person working was incredibly kind and quick with our orders even though they were the only one working and other patrons were steadily streaming in. They brought our food and coffees to us at our table and since we had our suitcases with us, they opened the door for us and wished us happy travels as we were leaving. We loved this place!
