About Us
Welcome to The Lemon Girls, where Puerto Rican roots meet the heart of San Antonio! Founded by spouses Maxine, the Puerto Rican, and Desiree the San Antonio Local, a team with a passion for authentic flavors, our story begins during the quiet of 2020 lockdowns. Cooking and making drinks brought us closer, and we found ourselves missing the vibrant, tropical tastes of Puerto Rico. That longing turned into a new chapter when we decided to create a space where our community could savor bold, refreshing lemonades and more just like the ones Maxine grew up with.
Every lemonade we make is handcrafted, shaken, and served in large 32-ounce cups—just like the big drinks you’d find back home. It’s not just a drink, it’s a show! From the choice of sweetness to the vibrant mix of fruits like passionfruit, we make it just for you, while staying true to our roots. What started as one farmer’s market booth has blossomed into a full-fledged local favorite at Woodlawn Lake, right near downtown San Antonio. Our storefront is an extension of the weekend markets, filled with local vendors and community spirit.
We have more than just lemonades to showcase. At the store we have expanded our menu to include bubble teas, cold brew coffee, and cacao. The flavors for these are inspired by our travels together and food we are experiencing. We also have hot dogs, pastries and a variety of latin and asian snacks and sodas.
We’re deeply committed to sustainability and our neighborhood. Our reusability encourages customers to bring back our cups for a discount, and these sturdy cups are repurposed by local artists, gardeners, and teachers. Beyond serving amazing drinks, we’re working with the city to improve local amenities like bike lanes and park facilities—because our community means everything to us.
As a Latina-owned and woman-owned business, we are proud to share a taste of our Mexican and Puerto Rican cultures, the flavors that inspire us all the while embracing the vibrant San Antonio spirit. We’re more than just lemonade makers; we’re part of something bigger—serving excellent customer service, delicious drinks, and lemonades to our amazing community.
Stop by and let us shake up something special for you!
