I hadn’t been here in years and stopped by because they have the best lemonade in town. Usually I opt for their pick-3 or 4 option by gazing at the choices and taking forever because it all looks amazing. You can ask for samples btw 😊 This time around I got their poke bowls, one of each to share. It came with a lot of rice. The toppings were good. It didn’t have much poke in the bowls, mostly rice. But I still enjoyed it cause I do love rice. Their lemonades are what I’ll forever be a fan of. I got their blood orange lemonade and elderflower lavender lemonade. Both were exceptional - you can really taste the beautiful orange bitters and also the elderflower botanicals, and I felt great afterwards. Parking is tough in Venice, I usually go along Electric Ave.

When I ordered two quart containers of cauliflower and tomato/avocado mix, they came only filled three quarters of the way. And for that price that is such a letdown!! I don't know if this is one bad server, or if they are trying to rip you off, but this was so wrong.

Great food. Had the Masala Mushroom Banh Mi and it was delicious. The different burst of flavors were outstanding. Love this location and service while in Venice. The salad was great as well as the options for drinks.

Really don’t know where to start , place is not clean , food looks rotten. Service is deplorable and service is unprofessional. I don’t understand how they can have 4 stars. Do not come to eat here. There is plenty of similar good options around Abbot Kinney.

Pretty cute little deli-like cafeteria style shop with unique lemonades. I didn’t try the food (which is said to be excellent), but had a cucumber mint lemonade. It was very sweet so after I drank some I added water to it and it was good. Only came in one size— 20 oz— which seems very large and I couldn’t finish it all. It was tasty but I would like to try something not as sweet next time!

Excellent food and service. Quality was great! The poke bowl really good. The variety and exclusive salads is perfect. There are different kind of lemonade that you can try. My family loves it. I strongly recommend it.

Cute place in Venice. Clean and spacious inside. The staff was friendly and explained how the menu works. Lots of yummy choices, somewhat pricey for a plate. Parking is free next door for one hour with validation.

Lemonade is always an amazing choice for quick, delicious, healthy food! They have fantastic salads and hot food items as well. Curried cauliflower, avocado tomato salad, and truffle Mac n cheese are some of my favorite items. The gluten free, vegan s’mores brownie is FANTASTIC. Tons of vegetarian options! I definitrly recommend pairing your meal with their delicious Lemonade as well :)

Lemonade reminds me of my days at USC, and woah I craved it today. A bit sad that I couldn't get the usual stuff I get (seared tuna and/or poached salmon) because of pregnancy, so I opted for the mango chicken. Ironically, the chicken was the least tasty (super dry that I'm passing it to my dad who doesn't mind haha). Im quite weak to spicy food but the sweet/salty/spicy flavor was nice. Love washing it all down with the carrot ginger lemonade.

The 2 stars are for the tomato soup. It's actually very tasty and ya know some places just get it wrong. lose 3 stars because service was rotten bananas. No one ordered while I was in line so it wasn't busy. The woman at the cash register couldn't care less because she is sitting with her headphones on watching tv on her phone the whole time. She asked me if I wanted a drink , I said "yes. I might as well get a lemonade while I'm here", some guy behind the counter laughs at my dumb joke. Well I had to ask for the lemonade after I got my food ...she said she never charged me for one. I said why not? Did you not hear me? She said no I heard you but you didn't tell me which flavor. Are you for real lady?? Why didn't you ask me? I said lemonade. That means lemon flavor right?? Do I need to preface with "plain"? For the love of gaWD. I said I wish you would have asked me which flavor ... and she just shrugged. Anyways she offered to ring me up again for the lemonade. After I had already left an undeserved tip. I said no (because obviously it was too much of an inconvenience the first time around !! ) Crazy

Not fresh... Big lemonade fan here. Came in today, order my usual, and was disappointed at the freshness and poor quality when I got back to my office. All items tasted 1(a few days old), soggy, wilty etc. Do better Lemonade Venice.

A quick stop but the food offerings were delicious as were the lemonades. You can pretty well mix and match anything outside of the main menus items and so if you want a vegetarian plate with no "protein" - meat, then you can.

I This is a picture of poke bowls side by side and when we were told by the lady it was todays special for $10 pointing with one finger in the center of the sign .we asked for one none spicy and She made the order spicy and then we told her no we want none spicy she then said " you want the tuna no spicy knowing that on the first bowl she could choose not to add the spicy sauce which she did not explain to us . Then the second order was decided on the special she then said oh only that one is $10 after asking for the same I then kindly asked if she can honor the mistake by making both $10 and the Second Lady rudely said no we cannot ! We ended just keeping the order,but the seaweed on the plate was terrible and the experience with staff was not as great and they need to improve there communication skills with customers . I don't think I'll be coming back to this location.

First time trying this please. The young man who was helping us was not helpful at all. I thought I was at a fancy chipotle. The food was overpriced. But the customer service was no good. The only reason for the three stars is the cashier was very nice.

This was my first time at Lemonade. I ordered the Classic Grilled Cheese, the Classic Lemonade, and the Mango Pineapple Lemonade. The grilled cheese sandwich did not look too appetizing when I first opened the container, but it was AMAZING. It was so cheesy, and the multigrain bread it came on added so much flavor to it. It also came with an order of sea salt chips, which I did now know when I first ordered it. The classic lemonade tastes like your typical lemonade, but 100% better. The mango pineapple lemonade has a strong taste of pineapple and was sweet as well! The staff were very friendly and let us know it would be about a 10-minute wait for our sandwich. There is a separate line for the drinks, so we ordered lemonades and this other cashier let us know we would be called for our sandwich shortly, as well.

Ok spot - the lady at the service counter was very rude and acted like it was a huge inconvenience to her having to be here. It was my first time here so I had asked how the menu works, etc. I would understand if there was a long line but I was the only person in the restaurant. Aside from that, the food was decent. Brussel sprouts were very undercooked, which is unfortunate as the flavors were promising. Tuna ahi poke was pretty good although they charge you +$2 for a tiny portion. The lemonade was overly sweet and you couldn't taste the mint at all. Terrible experience overall - 2 stars for the tuna

I normally love this place but I ordered from the Abbot Kinney location on DoorDash and it was really bad.. They put the Mac & cheese on same plate as tuna poke & tomato avo sides so by the time it got to me the tuna was warm which is a safety risk. The tomato/avocado side was warm too, with mushy tomatoes and brown avo. To top it off I eat the rice and when I get to the bottom I see a large pool of oil that's soaking through the bowl. I ordered this to be healthy and fresh so definitely disappointed. :(

2.5 Stars. The downtown Lemonade location used to be one of my favorite lunch spots for years, back when I was still living in DTLA for school. But then I moved away and hadn't been to a Lemonade since, so I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to eat at a Lemonade again, especially after a grueling hike nearby. Service was great, but wow the quality of the salads really went down from what I remember. I ordered a bowl, so you choose a base of greens or rice and then 3 salads. I picked greens as my base and selected the pesto pasta salad, Avocado tomato salad, and a beet quinoa/couscous type of salad (they provide a heaping scoop of each salad selection). Anyways, to summarize my overall impression of the food- it was healthy edible fuel, but not remarkable or noteworthy in it's actual taste/ palatableness. I also wasn't a fan of my Lavendar elderflower lemonade, which was aesthetically pleasing but had an overpowering taste of artificial sweetener.

we ordered 4 dishes the food wasn't delicious that much in my opinion we ordered a cucumber mint beverage and we didn't like it .it tasted so bad I guess the chairs could be more clean,they were dirty and you could easily see the dirt. the restroom wasn't clean.I forced myself to even wash my hands in there.

Yelp
Not good. Sad because Lemonade used to be great. Didn't help that there was only one employee for the whole place. Not her fault. What was once interesting, creative food felt tired and bland. The whole place had a depressing vibe - like it just curled up in a ball and gave up.

I used to go to Lemonade in Venice regularly. I always loved their salad bar. I hadn't been in awhile as I moved to another city. Back for a visit to LA, I stopped in for lunch and what a shock. The place is so run down. The windows are scratched and you cannot see through them. The vinyl on the booth seats is broken and dirty. A big clue was that there were very few people in the restaurant. What a disappointment. So sad.

Wow. How the mighty have fallen. I've been coming to this location for 5 years, and every year it has gotten progressively worse. We are now officially done with Lemonade, certainly this location, probably all of them. First, they have taken off the menu everything we have liked and wanted to order over the years. It's all gone. Left today were a few meager plates of salads and a few simmering platters of what looked to be bubbling gravy. Prices have gone up every year, portion size and service has decreased. And the absolute nightmare we experience trying to park in the parking garage for this place at an absolute cluster**k of an intersection - Venice and Abbot Kinney - was the last straw. They have automated the parking garage, the signage promises to give you a ticket if you don't pay, but doesn't explain any of the other rules. When we asked the employees of Lemonade how it works, they were very careful to let us know they had absolutely no idea how it worked. Either they really didn't know, or they didn't want to get blamed when it all went bad. Either way, if they had simply let us know there is 60 minutes parking in the garage with validation, they would have made an incredibly stressful situation much less so. But no. So we're done. Lemonade's owners - if you know what the deal is, you might want to let your staff and customers know, too. And if you don't, I suggest you take a look. Not interested in a parking citation over $1 worth of parking. Which is the one thing the crazy garage signage clearly promises. Or is it free parking. Still not sure, but glad we left.

Hadn't tried Lemonade in years and decided to give it another try. I ordered the spicy Hawaiian ahi poke bowl with cauliflower rice and it had about 4 pieces of actual ahi. The cauliflower rice was not cooked/seasoned and I had to add soy sauce and a ton of sriracha to actually get flavor. The brussel sprouts must've been old because the second we opened the container it smelled horrible and my boyfriend said it was the grossest thing he's tasted lol. He did say that the chimichurri steak sandwich was good at least. We also ordered a side of the truffle mac & cheese and while it was good, it wasn't quite as flavorful as I'd expect it to me. Lastly, they forgot our cookie. :(

Yelp
The avocado tomato salad tasted straight up rotten. I got sick a few hours later. Overall the food was gross. Not fresh at all (in terms of the veggies and the overcooked chicken). Never going back. Look at other reviews, people tend to get sick here.

Small spot but had a great steak and green beans plate. I just wish they provided a bit more proteins but otherwise, very delicious and fulfilling. Would come here again for sure!

I used to love this place. I really did. Spent a couple of thousand dollars for my students and me over the years, as we went all the time, particularly to this one on Abbott Kinney. Went with my nephew from Germany last Thursday. We both needed to see the bathroom. Urgently. Offered to leave my credit card and buy our lunch - so urgent it was. Merciless, they sent us away - as by the pace they move and serve - it would have been too late. House policy. Fine with me. But in the future: without me.

Been to this location as well as Pasadena's a few times, so this is not location specific! Honestly their food is just okay here. Their options change sometimes, as they have seasonal dishes. I had the poke bowl recently and it was pretty good--the fish was fresh and the overall flavor worked well--but it was a bit too salty (maybe from the furikake), and I didn't care for the mandarins in it. I've also tried some of their market salads and some of them are okay. I'd say my favorite thing I've had here so far is their cucumber mint lemonade as it was super refreshing! Definitely should give that a try if you're into that combination of flavors. Personally I would not recommend getting the small single-serving sizes of their market salads here as they're pretty much the size of a big sauce cup, similar to the ones you'd get at Chipotle for your guacamole, ranging from $3.50-$4. Aside from that though, their prices can be decent depending on what you get.

David R.

Yelp
Terrible service. I stood in line forever, and when I got my food, it wasn't what I had ordered. The customer service was completely rude. When I asked him to please fix it. The lady behind the counter, literally rolled her eyes at me for something that was not my fault. Wouldn't recommend this place unless you like dealing with a staff with poor attitude and no customer service skills.

Yelp
aside from late night meals it's hard for me to understand how fast food restaurants stay in business in some neighborhoods when options like Lemonade exist. For under $20 u can walk away with several meat based or vegan bowl options that range from roasted cauliflower steaks to flank steak and ahi tuna to seared chicken with fresh salads and pickled vegetables the options are almost endless and everything is fresh. i do occasionally get a small piece of tough meat or fish but the overwhelming amount of good clean food always far outweighs any imperfections. Yesterday i picked up my regular fresh ahi tuna bowl with edamame, pickled vegetables and salad and it really hit the spot and i left feeling good. i usually get my food to go and then eat at home with my pup. the service is almost always quick and a nice experience inside. i have never seen it not incredible clean, well lit and welcoming. totally worth coming back anytime i am looking for a quick healthy meal at a reasonable price.

I asked when I ordered if there's nuts in what I was hoping to order. The employee fumbled a bit and said it's just sesame. That's fine, no problem with sesame. After I left and started eating it my throat started to feel scratchy. I looked on their website and what I ordered, and was told did not have nuts by the employee, was listed with containing nuts on the website. I shared this story with coworkers and one had a very similar experience at lemonade. That's unacceptable. I've been hospitalized several times after accidentally eating nuts over the years, this type of experience is traumatic.

Aside from the healthy delicious food here, the lemonade is sooo good! This particular location has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and is perfect for hanging with friends and people watching!

Rodney M.

Yelp
Fun location on the corner. Great variations on the menu, easily can accommodate any member of your group. Chicken to fish and vegetables...you can't go wrong with their menu. The line can be a bit overwhelming to a newbie, but the staff was friendly and kind and took time with me and others, to explain the process and the options. From Poke bowls to sandwiches...I was a bit overwhelmed at the choices. Went with the tomatoes and mozzarella sandwich with soup. Tomato...did not stray too far from the theme. The kicker was the blood orange lemonade and the caramel cookie for dessert. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, and with the sun shining, it was so nice to sit and wait for my sandwich and soup to be delivered to my table. It was a perfect setting to a great afternoon.

Lemonade is great. This location is pretty cool too. There's a good amount of street parking in the surrounding residential area (you might have to walk a bit) but you might luck up and get a street spot in front of the restaurant. If you're into people watching, sit by the window! Oh yeah, indoor dining is back but every other table/seating area is blocked off to reduce capacity. The staff members are nice and work quickly. I got the salmon spinach salad. No joke, it's probably one of the top 5 salads I've ever had. The salmon is cooked perfectly and seasoned well, there's a good amount of red onion, the raisins and almonds give a good sweet/savory combo, and the dressing tastes great. It's also super filling! The bathroom situation is kind of gross and was lacking in supplies when I went but that was the only negative part of the experience.

Jennifer H.

Yelp
I would give this place a 3.5/5 stars since the poke was just average. I got the tuna poke, and it wasn't as smooth and fresh as other poke places. Amount of fish was also quite small compared to the rice portion. Poke here is overpriced, so I suppose they try to compensate by drowning the fish in a pool of rice. Overall, I probably wouldn't come here for poke. On the plus side, you get a free lemonade for checking in. I got the dragonfruit lemonade, which was pretty refreshing, but I would have liked it better if it were sweeter.

This place serves great food very healthy cherry tomatoes mix with avocado mango chicken was great

Karen C.

Yelp
Buyer beware! I was very underwhelmed by the portion size at Lemonade. I picked the tuna poke and 2 sides. The server added a complimentary cracker, but I felt like it was a decoy intended to fill the empty container. As the picture shows, there were only 5 pieces of tuna, and the total order cost me $16. I really wanted to voice my concern at the time, but I was honestly shocked when he handed me the order. Not a good experience and not worth the trip.

Claudia C.

Yelp
I love most Lemonade chains, and this one is especially nice! It's a spacious location with nice staff. We got a chance to try some of their new gradient/sunset lemonades, and I can definitely vouch that the butterfly pea tea lemonade is super refreshing! It's a chain, so the food is pretty standard compared to other locations. Also, pro-tip! You can get half regular Mac and cheese and half truffle Mac and cheese--best combo ever, I promise! The truffle Mac and cheese can be a little overwhelming on its own, so the regular Mac and cheese gives it a nice cheesy balance.

Van V.

Yelp
I have been to Abbey Kinney Blvd many times, and I always walked by Lemonade thinking it is just a chain cafeteria. Today for lunch we tried to get into a trendy juice-food place up the street. Wait was 40 minutes. Nope. So we just went to Lemonade. Since we were already planning on getting ice cream at Salt and Straw, just wanted light lunch. Well. Ahi tuna salad and kale farro apple salad blew us away with their flavors and textures. For about 1/4th the price of the cool place up the street. The cool place is still cool. But pleasantly delighted with our choices at Lemonade. Interior is quite comfortable--if not that chic. But the tastes, seasonings, and fresh ingredients pleased our palates, for sure. So can recommend Lemonade.

Leah K.

I'm not sure whether the service or the food is worse here. The mango chicken was bland and oversalted and the cashier was rude.

Elif C.

Yelp
Horrible! I went back there after years and literally got sick the second I ate there today and been struggling the whole day! I have to say I'm pretty durable and never get stomach bugs. I got the Mexican corn, kimchi soba noodles and truffle mac and cheese. I fed the mac and cheese to my baby too and he seemed fine so I do think it was the corn what got me so messed up. Also the rudest staff ever! I was asking the lady who works there what type of Salmon it was that they have and she was like what do you mean? and I repeated my question and she said it's salmon "like why do you even care salmon is salmon" It's really not though!! I never eat farm raised salmon so as a consumer I think it's my basic right to ask or question the quality of the food I'm about to put in my body. I don't like how uneducated staff are and unaware of what they are selling. She was also just rude overall and unfriendly. Also kept her conversation with her coworker and she made me feel like I should not be asking any questions. She was clearly bothered I interrupted her conversation with her co-worker. WILL NEVER give them a chance again. Literally a middle finger to this woman and to Lemonade. Meh

Restaurant changes menu on a dime. We prepared an order with Uber Eats to place for dinner when we arrived home. After a 20 minute drive, we discovered several items in our cart as "unavailable". I understand restaurants may have different menus for lunch, dinner and other meals, but this happened between 5:30-6pm, an odd time to be changing menus. Needless to say, we had to start from scratch ... at a different restaurant. Upon reading some of the other reviews here, perhaps it's a good thing we ordered elsewhere.

Chrystine W.

Yelp
This review is only the ridiculous policy. Brought my family here , my daughter needs to use the restroom WHILE I'm ordering, the staff would not give me the code , insist I have to order and pay first. I don't understand what kind of policy is this, I'm ordering and you can't give me the code to let my kid use the restroom first? This is ridiculous.

Marianne M.

Huge bummer, was excited to try a cold lemonade and lunch on a hot day. Walked in and my husband went to go order and I went to go to the bathroom. I asked for the bathroom code and the terribly rude woman behind the counter said shortly, customers only! I am a customer, I replied, my husband is ordering for us and pointed to him next in line to order at the food counter. No. She said. You must pay before using the bathroom. So rude. Screw that. Left without ordering.

Sam K.

Yelp
I have to say I came here expecting more from this place. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Avocado Poke bowl with red rice. Unfortunately they did not have furikake or pickled hijiki at the time, which is understandable but I would have appreciate if they offered substitutes or more of the poke (especially because everything is pre-made). $13 for a poke bowl is more reasonable if all the ingredients are present. That being said, the present ingredients were very tasty! 3.5/5 for the disappointing service.

We were walking down the street and decided to grab a quick drink to cool off. I personally haven't heard about this place but I wanted to give it a try. They not only serve lemonade here but food as well. We asked the cashier some questions and he was pretty informative. We decided to share a skinny butterfly with classic lemonade. The colors are so pretty. The lemonade was good. I think it could've been more on the sweeter side but that's just how I like my lemonade.

Maruko X.

Yelp
I used to come to Lemonade a lot, but nowadays go to Tender Greens or Urban Plates more often. Based on my ten plus times visits here, sadly, I have to say both the food quality and service level drop significantly. The menu was not updated adequately and servers made mistakes. Fewer lemonade drinks and sides options than before, flavors changed for food, and they took away some good stuff from the menu Red Miso Beef Short Rib - *** sweet Tender Steak - *** chewy meat Harissa Roasted Cauliflower - *** spicy White Truffle Mac N' Cheese - ** so so Watermelon Radish - **** flavorful Pineapple Chicken - *** average Orecchiette Pasta - *** average

This is my first time trying Lemonade. My daughter said I would love it and she's right! Everything looked and sounded wonderful, if only my stomach was bigger and my metabolism was 10x faster! Guess I will need to return a gazillion more times. I tried the market bowl - selecting the edamame salad, Mexican street corn salad and chicken green beans salad. Each one was soooo good! Every bite had so much flavor and umami. I also washed it down with one of their refreshing eye catching lemonades - skinny red hibiscus with cucumber mint. They offer free samples of their salads so try before you buy because it's really really hard to select only a few when you really want to have it all!

Alex G.

Yelp
I don't leave bad reviews often but bad service is bad service. I've been working on abbot Kinney for the last 15 years at different restaurants/bars. I've tried to eat at lemonade 3 times in the last 2 months but have failed. Whatever incompetent employees they have working there clear and clean the hot station at least an hour before they close. I don't know if it's management pressing them on labor, but it's ridiculous. I've worked in kitchens before and we break down certain parts of our station close to closing time to cut down on side work. But not having any food on display over an hour before you close is just bad business. If I was running this shop I'd nip that real quick. I'm not the only one who's encountered this.

Todd A.

Yelp
No samples? No returns on soggy salads? WTF. Don't waste your money. There's salad sit out there for hours on end and there is no way to sample it. And then if you don't like it the person says you are free to throw it away after dropping $30. You guys suck. I will not be coming back ever. And no one else should give you their money for some soggy over priced cafeteria food. You guys are idiots

Christopher M.

I called the number listed for a take out order, but I guess this goes to a corporate location. When I arrived they did not check the computer and were not aware at all and raced to throw things together. Half full containers with no apology. Used to love this place

First time trying Lemonade and I'm a native local to the area. As far as location goes, it's in the trendy Abbot Kinney neighborhood of Venice (at the corner of Venice Bl and Abbot Kinney.). The bright yellow and white 50's cafeteria look adds a stunning attraction to many who flock here for their appetizing gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and carnivorous menu items locally and around the world. Don't know why I've never tried this spot but I was motivated to try Lemonade after looking at their menu on Postmates. I was mind blown on how healthy and delicious their food is. What caught my eye was their California Picnic. You can choose from a few different sandwiches, a salad, and homemade potato chips. I opted for the "El Tijuana" turkey sandwich. The sandwich looks big but it's light and airy. It's thinly sliced roasted turkey breast, smeared with a jalapeño aioli and (what tasted to me like) a spicy garlic mayo on a ciabatta bread. I thought I wouldn't able to finish all of it but it was so good, I cleaned my plate! I also chose the Shaved Brussel Sprouts. This salad is more like a sweet slaw. I tasted a hint of lemon, honey, Parmesan, buttermilk, and pepper in the dressing. I love that they toss in vertically sliced dates. It's like a surprise in the salad. It enhances the sweetness of the dressing and gives the salad a nice flavor. Their potato chips are very crisp. Again, light and airy. Probably the best I've ever had. The Peach Ginger drink was sugar-free elixir. I thought the ginger overpowered the peach flavor. I wasn't too fond of it but I ordered it without knowing how it would taste. Definitely will try something different next time. Their staff and cooks are friendly and it really shows that they put so much pride in their work. They're always cheerful and focused on the items they create. Their prices are moderately affordable. My meal and drink ran a little over $15. I know it's good food but I personally wouldn't spend that kind of money every day on lunch. It's a reasonable price if you splurge here 2-3 times a month. Overall, Its a great spot to have a hearty, healthy, and light lunch!

Friendly service, however, the cashier reluctantly honored my Yelp check in offer (1 free lemonade) because my previous review is "too old". He also made certain to tell me to leave a 5 star review. I'm wondering if a 4 star review means you can't get the check in offer...? A well intended but somewhat inappropriate exchange that made my recent visit feel like less than 5 stars, and also makes me question the most current 5 star reviews... That being said, Lemonade remains one of my favorite eateries. It's super healthy, and all of the vegetable sides are absolutely delicious. My all time favorite is the roasted broccoli with ricotta cheese and champagne vinaigrette. Whatever they season the Brussels Sprouts with will have you craving seconds. They currently offer a spicy Harissa cauliflower, which I'm hoping is part of the permanent menu. The options going down the cafeteria style line are endless and are sure to have you coming back for more. Lastly, Lemonade has the best lemonade in the coolest flavors: Blood Orange (my favorite), lavender, cucumber mint, along with classic lemonade, you absolutely must add one of these refreshing drinks to your order.

Lemonade is always everything tasty for a great value. However, they've just out done themselves with this $7 Bowl Tuesday Special. This week is the Green Chili Chicken bowl...it's delicious!!!...aaand 7 bucks...nothing of the Lemonade standard compromised!...outstanding!! Lemonade earned this update and beyond. During Corona, it's so nice to be able to find great deals like this. Now if I could just lay off the cookies!! Lol! Thank you Lemonade for being fantastic!
