The chicken pesto was amazing; I loved the pesto and having a grilled cutlet over a fried was a nice change in pace. Highly recommend both. The time from ordering to receiving my food was less than 10 minutes so very quick for an easy in and out lunch. Now the ambiance, it's a cute little shop with a nice out patio that is cool and clean, making it perfect for a casual and relaxing lunch. Bonus points for having a drive thru!

All seating to eat is outside, but they wrap it up nicely for takeout as well.

The turkey sandwich was better than the rosemary chicken, but the avocado tasted strange. It appears they are using the large avocados instead of conventional haas avocados. I am happy this option exists in Lakeland, but the food could be better. I will return and hopefully have a better experience.

Staff is friendly, parking is ample, coffee is available at nearby Concord. This is a to-go or picnic table eating spot so no "ambiance". Most waits are relatively short for made-to-order.

Black & Brew in downtown Lakeland is exactly what a neighborhood café should be--welcoming,…read moreenergetic, and full of flavor. The standout for me was the Holiday Ham breakfast sandwich, and it absolutely lived up to its name. Built on a flaky buttermilk biscuit, it layers a light, fluffy egg soufflé with thinly sliced ham, praline bacon that adds just the right touch of sweetness, and a cranberry orange jam that ties everything together with a bright, unexpected pop. Every bite tasted thoughtful and seasonal without being overcomplicated--comfort food elevated. I paired it with Jennie's Dolce seasonal espresso drink, and it was so good I immediately wanted another. Even more impressive? The second one tasted just as perfect as the first--a small detail that says a lot about their consistency and care behind the bar. The coffee shop ambience immediately stands out, with a relaxed yet polished vibe that makes it just as ideal for a casual morning as it is for catching up on work or meeting friends. Service was warm and efficient, and you can tell this place has become a staple in the downtown community. If you appreciate creative twists on classic breakfast favorites and expertly crafted coffee drinks, Black & Brew is well worth the stop. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

My wife and I stopped by Love Bird at 2101 Florida Ave S in Lakeland, for a late lunch, and it was…read moreperfect timing. It was 2:00 p.m. and there was no wait to order and our food arrived fast! My wife ordered her favorite, the Southern Classic Salad, which is 2 citrus grilled chicken tenders on a bed of lettuce with a scoop of house-made guac, sliced egg, bacon, tomatoes, red onion, smoked gouda, cilantro corn, croutons and a citrus vinaigrette dressing. It was delicious as usual and a huge portion! She ended up taking half of it home for later. I went with the 2-piece Perfectly Fried Tenders, medium heat with sides of So Gouda Mac and Bourbon Baked Beans. The chicken pieces were quite large and were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat. The pieces were served on a piece of white bread with a pickle on top! The fried chicken is so good that I could eat here every day! We were both stuffed, so we skipped the Peach Cobbler and Banana pudding this time. It was a beautiful day, so we ate our lunch outside on the patio, entertained by the great 80's music and occasional police siren (since Florida Ave is a busy street). All in all, we had a fantastic time and will be coming back again soon! We both highly recommend Love Bird!

On top of that, the sides (as I got "the side chick") were all really good! The collard greens were probably the best I have had, and I have had a lot! They also were friendly and bring your food to the table if you eat there. It is fun and laid back atmosphere. Oh-and get the cobbler!!! Tip: the tenders are huge, so 2 is probably enough.
