If you're looking for a new spot to grab breakfast, lunch, or a sweet treat, Sweet Lemon Kitchen in downtown Georgetown is worth checking out. Owner Rachel Cummins grew up learning to bake from her mother and grandmother, and that family influence is still part of what makes the restaurant special.

The menu has plenty of tempting options, from chicken salad croissants with apples and sunflower seeds to grilled cheese with roasted tomato and basil. And if you're saving room for dessert, look for treats like chocolate chip cookie cheesecake and other seasonal favorites.
