The ambience here sucks. It was so hot and I’m convinced they had no air conditioning and purposely sat us 2 inches from the table next to us. They crammed tables into this place. Regarding the food, it’s good, I mean you get what you order and it’s nothing special. I liked the spread for the Persian breakfast I ordered, you don’t usually see that on breakfast menus. Coffee was fine. The staff was VERY friendly and excited. Almost like too much. Like why are u so excited. But they were nice and I like this place it’s a good place in town to get breakfast. We didn’t have to wait which

I went here twice. The food was delicious l as well as the smoothies. Everything was fresh and well seasoned.
Taking a star off because the staff seemed very aloof both days. The first day I went it was early, not busy at all but everyone working there seemed confused and were wandering around kind of lost. The second day I went it was busy and we sat at the bar. Even though they seemed to have a full staff, there was again a lot of lost looking staff members walking around but not getting much done to help the customers. I know it's COVID and staffing is tough but for the amount of people

This is the "Anthropologie" of breakfast places. Everything is perfectly decorated! This would be an awesome spot to host a brunch event or even just stop by for your morning coffee. I came here twice while staying on Nantucket and loved everything I tired. The iced grey lady was a delicious lavender espresso drink - a must try if you love lavender. For food my favorite was the LP Benny. I also tried the rose water waffle; however, it tasted more like a regular waffle than anything special. If you're worried you're boyfriend won't find anything he likes in this trendy

Lemon Press is a fantastic spot on Nantucket. The food is always great, with interesting dishes and beautiful presentation. The servers are friendly and accommodating and the management team is outstanding. You won’t regret your visit- even if it is a busy day and you have to wait a few minutes for that perfect latte or matcha tea or that delicious salad, sandwich, breakfast concoction or dessert!

Really gorgeous interior and food was fabulous! Love the Persian breakfast as you can order your eggs any way you would like and then from there you fill the pita as if you're making Persian breakfast tacos! All of the fillers were fabulous and every thing was cooked perfectly!!
The only thing was the weird interaction my friend and I had with staff :/ We are both in our mid 20's and both server and bartender came over to check ID's a total of three times and seemed to hesitate to serve us and made it a bit uncomfortable to continue the meal as we are of age and the way they went

Lemon press fan here! I love their energy balls, coffee, and their cute vibe. We put an order in online then went to pick it up this week en route to the beach. Staff is short this summer so we weren't expecting an immediate turn around, but I suggest you give yourselves a lot of time--like 30ish? (We waited for 20 after parking and put the order in 10 before. ) so don't think it will be a quick order and get type of situation. We got three açaí bowls to go. One was ordered with raspberries, granola, and almond butter. The others had berries, almond butter, and bananas. They all came

I don't believe there is ever a time that this spot is not busy! We came both times during the early morning but even while we were in town and walking around, they seem to be flowing with crowds and the reason is justified! The açai bowl that I had was the most delicious and fulfilling breakfast! I got mine with mango, honey, and peanut butter with granola. They also seem to have a lot of options for pressed juices and coffees but I did not indulge while I was here. My friend got their breakfast sandwich and I can't seem to get it out of my head! Definitely a must try! If you can snag

Fabulous food, exceptional service! Visited here last weekend with a crew who all wanted something different - everyone was able to find something delicious to eat on the menu. A beautiful spot to slow down and enjoy yourself! The avocado toast was amazing and the juices and smoothies were so refreshing. Will definitely be stopping next time I'm on the island!! Thank you Lemon Press!

Really fell in love with this friendly and cozy spot, they have such delicious food and so many different options! Whether you're a vegan, pescatarian, vegetarian, or omnivore- there are plenty of delicious options here- but one thing is for sure, the food is fresh, delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful!!
I was visiting Nantucket with my family and my Mom suggested this cute place- they have so many options for someone like myself who aspires to be a vegan but am sometimes pescatarian.
The falafel was very yummy, I thought that it was a bit greasy but very tasty. The tuna was

This is great little place for brunch, lunch, dinner or for just a coffee. This was the first place I tried charcoaled coffee at and it was an amazing experience.
The ambiance and staff is welcoming. There is usually a wait at this place on weekends, so plan for that. Overall food was good and has plenty of vegan & vegetarian options. I would definitely go back to this place.

OMG!! RUN, don't walk to Lemon Press! Absolutely charming, quaint and delicious organic food which is just phenomenal! Staff was professional, friendly and so delightful. Julia gets a 5 star review for being exceptional, appreciative and made our experience wonderful. The breakfast sandwich with added bacon and avocado is by far THE BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH I HAVE EVER HAD ( and I pride myself in on eating a lot of breakfast sandwiches). All the other dudes being served looked delicious too and I am sure they were! Added bonus - their food truck was also at Cisco Brewery where we also visited

This place was built for Instagram! Not only are the food and cocktails absolutely beautiful, the decor is precious! We sat at the quasi bar (covid) and chatted with the bartender who was so incredibly friendly! He suggested the smoked salmon mezze dish which was fab! Very generous portion of smoked salmon!! Someone else had the Benny which was interestingly on sourdough which is a total crowd favorite. Also - if anyone in your party is GF this place is a must, they are very accommodating and have GF options for most dishes. Is a must visit!

I was excited to try this place and show it to a friend who had never been on the island. Frankly I was embarrassed because the staff was very unfriendly. A girl in front of us in line told us she was just yelled at as well. Glad we left and went to The Hub which has a much friendlier atmosphere with reasonable prices.

Absolute trash restaurant. Extremely overpriced for small portions and super basic food. Took an hour to get the world's most simple salad. Entitled, unengaging staff who treat you like you are a waste of their time. This whole place is a millenial-fly trap that belongs in the outskirts of the hamptons. Do not waste yoru precious vacation time spending a minute at this restaurant.

Went for breakfast. Two breakfast sandwiches and two bloody Mary's were about 75.00 with tip. So, I would say a little on the expensive side. The Bloody Mary was good but nothing out of the ordinary. The breakfast sandwich was on an English muffin with a very nicely done fluffy egg, bacon and bacon jam. The bacon jam was good, I would ask for less next time.
It has a nice atmosphere, very clean and our waitress was very friendly and attentive.
It's an island! Prices will be higher than normal, but look at menus to see if interested first!
