Breaking news. The famed SoCal comfort food deli, Lemonade, finally made its way down from LA to Fashion Island in Newport Beach. If you're a Gemini or just indecisive, then this is the place for you.
Walk inside the lemon yellow & white futuristic space age spot, and you're greeted by 8 food & drink stations: Marketplace, Tossed Salads, Land & Sea, Sandwiches, Braises, Market Soups, Desserts, and of course Lemonades. As if that wasn't enough, each station contains at least 8 options galore.
The first time you go, make sure you're not in a hurry. You'll need extra time to peruse each menu item, take in the free samples, and wipe your drool up off the floor.
Which brings us to reason #2.
