Lemon Tree Cafe & Market

At Evora in southwest Las Vegas, Lemon Tree pairs a place to eat with a place to stock the kitchen. The cafe and gourmet market occupy one business, bringing scratch cooking and specialty groceries together on South Buffalo Drive.

Two hospitality backgrounds

Patrick Littlejohn and Emily Palmer founded Lemon Tree. Littlejohn previously managed Il Mulino in Las Vegas, while Palmer brought experience as a pastry chef and cafe operator. The Specialty Food Association documented their partnership and the European-style market concept in a feature about the business.

The cafe serves throughout the day. Its published range includes crepes, Napoli-style pizza, housemade pastries and choices for vegetarian and vegan diners. Lavazza coffee and cold-pressed juices sit alongside the food, so the cafe can serve a quick drink visit as well as a meal.

The market shelves

Lemon Tree's retail selection reaches beyond the ingredients used in a single dish. Imported pasta, charcuterie, craft sodas, wine and beer appear alongside specialty products such as caviar and foie gras. A personal butcher counter is another part of the market offering.

That combination gives the space two distinct uses. Someone can arrive for food prepared by the kitchen, while another visitor can choose ingredients and bottles to take home. The market's emphasis on specialty goods is central to the founders' original idea of gathering foods that can otherwise require several stops.

Pastry links the two owners' backgrounds with the everyday cafe menu. It also sits naturally beside the coffee service, while the savory kitchen broadens the visit into lunch or dinner. Lemon Tree's location within Evora places this independently operated cafe and market in a residential, retail and business development rather than inside a Strip resort.
