Definitely Not a Lemon
LAist knows that when you work on the Westside and have exhausted your lunch options at places like Jack Sprats, The Farm and that wonderful little Quiznos on Olympic and Bundy — well, places like the somewhat-new Lemon Moon might give your tastebuds a welcomed vacation.
From chefs Josiah Citrin (Melisse) and Raphael Lunetta (Jiraffe), Lemon Moon (12200 W. Olympic Boulevard, 310-442-9191) is tucked right into the business park on the southwest side of Olympic and Bundy and offers a minimalist environment for your self-serve (weekday) breakfast, lunch and dinners. Whether you're interested in sitting on the outside patio or at their high-end benches (when you want to get close to your newfound lunchtime strangers) — Lemon Moon is more than happy to accomodate.
But those not happy to accomodate are those with newspapers who have already finished their meals and yet, still pretend to read their newspapers and magazines while you stand behind them clutching your order tag. Said order tag which the servers will be looking for when your food is ready to be delivered to your table. When your food is ready, however, the friendly staff at Lemon Moon will be more than happy to let you eat it at the counter if you-know-who is still pretending to read the Classifieds.
Support for LAist comes from
As for prices — Lemon Moon won't break the bank. A lunch for two with drinks (i.e. water or juice) will cost you about $25. Validated parking for one hour is located below the building, so you won't have to fight for street spaces.
LAist is hungry now, so please excuse us.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
