Divicious is deviously delicious!…read more This cafe is very unassuming from the outside- it's super easy to miss or overlook, especially being on the corner of downtown amidst so many other restaurant & coffee options. But don't be mistaken- if you pass by Divicious and don't try it you have stepped in the wrong. It's a small shop so it can get a little loud when things are bustling. But it's worth it to grab a breakfast sandwich, deli sandwich, or yummy pastry. Their breakfast bagels sandwiches are just lovely. They're so simple but that's what makes them so good. If you like avocado, I'd also ask for that on your sandwich. One of the best parts are the prices- they can't be beat. For 2 sandwiches & a pastry it's $12. Insane! Divine! Divicious!

I work right down the road from Divicious, and definitely don't come here as often as I should!…read moreEvery time I'm in their store (whether the deli, or the store next door) I'm asked how I'm doing at least twice, and the energy is always up! The staff is so incredibly kind, and the prices can't be beat. I always order the Cuban turkey, which is SO GOOD, but I need to try more of their menu, especially their breakfast! I'm definitely going to try coming here more often, and tell everyone I know about this hidden gem!

Delicious, fast and friendly, and cute; this shop checks all the boxes!…read more The scarpas Italian was fresh and had perfectly balanced meat to veggies ratio. 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!

This time I had the Pesto Chicken Sandwich and It was perfect!

If you've never had Vietnamese Iced Coffee, HIGHLY recommend it. They make it just like every Vietnamese restaurant and it's the best iced coffee you'll can get. I ordered an iced coffee, eggrolls, and bo luc lac (shaking beef) for eating in and another coffee and a banh mi to go. The food was so good in the restaurant that I forgot to take pictures. Very tasty and this was a great hidden gem in Lakeland. I went with coworkers as a party of six. Menu clearly states parties of 6+ have tip automatically included. It was and I just wish I could've tipped on top. Place was nice and spacey but casual. You can talk and have conversation. Not a quiet, "upscale" kind of place but would still be great for a date night. Plenty of parking because it's in a huge shopping plaza. Price point is pretty good considering how other places are priced. Overall, if you like Vietnamese food (or have never tried it), this is a great spot to check out. Highly recommend and love finding this spot in my city! EDIT/UPDATE: The food and service is still 5 stars. I took a star off because I found out the tips don't go to the servers. I saw this on a recent visit. Will definitely come back for the food and service, but I won't be tipping. As a former food service worker myself, that doesn't sit right with me.

It occupies a beautiful spot just a few blocks outside the main square in downtown Lakeland. The interiors of this donut cafe are tastefully decorated, and they have ample seating should you choose to enjoy your specialty donuts there soon after being served up. While it was hard narrowing down my selection since everything sounded great, I went with their cookies and cream donut (5/5) based on the recommendation of one of the staff members. It was quite possibly one of the best donuts I've had in years, with perfect donut texture as you bit into it, with all the delectable flavors of the indulgent cookies and cream on top. Not only was the donut excellent, but they are served up in tastefully retro boxes which just added to an already amazing experience. While I am generally underwhelmed with donut places, my experience with Parlor Doughnuts recalibrated my scale to what a delicious and ideal donut experience should be, and look forward to trying out their other locations in my future travels. A special thanks to Parlor Doughnuts for raising the bar in the donut game.

The Sweet Caroline is good. The bread was fresh. The ratio of meat to bread was good and the service is great. We also had a "child's cheeseburger" and fries. The child size is deceiving because it's full-size and plenty for an adult. I don't know how thick the patty would be for an adult hamburger but the patty was good on the child size burger. The bun was so good; it was buttered and grilled. Perfectly toasted! The store portion has plenty of authentic Italian products you can buy and take home. You can also buy some pre-made Italian dishes to take home and bake. Sad I didn't try this place earlier in my life but I'll be back! They also have a large variety of pre-made and freshly make cookies, cupcakes, cakes and Italian desserts to choose from.

It's located in a nondescript building that's basically one large dining room with a bar in the back. Since we got there at the top of the lunch hour, it was not busy so we were served very quickly. The menu had lots of interesting options - I went with the Beer Braised Pork Street Tacos and could not have been more pleased with my choice. They are made with shaved pieces of pork topped with lettuce, Muenster cheese, honey mustard, and pickles. The taste of all that together is excellent. If you are in the area, this is an excellent choice for a good lunch!
