About Lemon

Lemon started out as Lemon Espresso in Claremont in 2004 and was one of the very first speciality coffee houses to offer a passionate 'Melbourne' style cafe atmosphere in WA.

Our focus has always been about the best coffee & food we can produce and whilst sometimes noted as not being the fastest cup in Perth, we work very hard to make it one of the very best!!

Lemon Lane, also in Claremont, opened in 2007 after an extensive re-modeling of an authentic laneway venue to allow us to extend the Lemon ethos and passion into a mixed coffee and food environment offering an extensive Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch menu.

Lemon Station, opened in 2008, and was an opportunistic opening in Cottesloe to introduce a high end coffee offering to Cottesloe Village and bring life to Station Street that had long been the 'poor relation' to the adjacent Napolean Street cafe strip.

Our Principals

Our desire to be the best is reflected in everything we do. We source the best suppliers, utilise the best equipment and most of all aim to attract and train the best people in the industry.

We have learnt a lot as we have grown and made plenty of mistakes along the way, however we have always endeavoured to remain true to our principles;

• Adhere to a process of Constant and Never Ending Improvement across our business,
• Religiously aim to source the best produce and input goods possible,
• To implement the best processes and procedures we can and to never compromise on quality,
• Remember that the Customer does always come first,
• Respect the people in the business and work to create an environment that allows personal objective's to be met whilst delivering the Lemon goals with passion, and
• To have fun doing what we do!
