WINTER 2024 15 Fancy Food Show Booth #3445 NEW FOR 2023! The cafe offers pastries, crepes, omelets, sandwiches, salads, and other items made from scratch, as well as coffee and cold-pressed juices, says Littlejohn. "It's an elevated cafe," he says. "Everything is made fresh in-house." Brunch and lunch are generally the busiest mealtimes, he says. Items from the breakfast menu, which is available all day, that are particularly popular include the French Toast made with brioche and topped with burrata and a warm berry compote, and the Croissant Breakfast Sandwich made with a fried egg, Black Forest ham, and gruyere cheese. Also popular are the 12-inch wood- fired pizzas, including a sweet Nutella Pizza with strawberries. House-made baked goods are also popular, including breads, cookies, pies, and other items. "Everything is made using the best quality product I can get," says Littlejohn. "It's honest, rustic fare." On the retail shelves, customers can choose from a wide variety of gourmet and specialty imports, such as Maldon salts from England; Angleo & Franco Bufalo Mozzarella—made in California with milk brought in from Italy; Beurre D'isigny from France (a classic French butter that is hard to find in Las Vegas, or anywhere in America, says Littlejohn); high-end, barrel-made Haku soy sauces from Japan; and Caponi gluten-free pastas from Tuscany, Italy, among other unique products, both domestic and imported. Gluten-free products are a priority at Lemon Tree, Littlejohn says, including shelf-stable items and baked goods. PHOTO: LEMON TREE CAFE & MARKET
