The food is what really stands out. They have such unique flavor combinations that you don't find at your average coffee shop. I ordered the jalapeño popper sausage biscuit, and it was incredible. The sauce and pickled red onions took it to the next level and made every bite so flavorful. The coffee is solid, and the café is in a great downtown location that's perfect for starting your morning or taking a break while exploring the area. If you're looking for a one-stop shop for both breakfast and coffee, look no further. We absolutely love this place and will keep coming back whenever we're in town.

The only place I'll ever drive 45 minutes to get their Carrot Cake!…read moreWe were headed to Orlando and decided to make a quick detour for carrot cake once again. It was a Saturday and I forgot the market was going on so it was a bit busy but always worth the wait. Honestly, I didn't think there would be any left the way the Line was looking, but luckily when I got to the front, they still had carrot cake left. I ordered a slice and waited patiently for my name to be called. Once it was ready, I picked it up and it was already made for to go, but I decided to eat in house. This carrot cake is so unbelievably delicious. It's filled with pineapples, walnuts, and everything you could dream of. Will always be my favorite!

If you're someone who loves being surrounded by books, this place is such a cozy escape. The building is absolutely beautiful, with so much character. I love all of the historic details.. the old windows, stained glass accents, and charming architecture make it a place you want to linger in for a while. The coffee isn't the best I've ever had, but it's still a solid option. I come here less for the coffee itself and more for the experience of slowing down, reading a book, or simply enjoying the atmosphere. If you're looking for a peaceful, cozy bookstore café with tons of charm, Pressed Books is well worth a visit.

The establishment looked cute from the outside but as we got closer we noticed a sign in the front telling us to call and someone would come out and take or order. Well, I've never bought loose trees and felt this stupid have been purchase using multiple senses (sight snd smell). But here we are. I didn't have a back up plan so I called the number. The lady was great with questions about what my mother in law liked, but honestly i really didn't know. I did pick two teas for her gift. Crossing my fingers she likes it. Im hoping future customers can have the full experience.

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!

The ice cream was good, but nothing especially memorable for me. The real highlight is the location, there's a large seating area inside a trendy food hall making it a great place to hang out with friends or family while you enjoy your dessert. Overall, I'd give it about 3.5 stars. Worth trying if you're in the area, especially if you're interested in unique flavors, but it didn't quite stand out enough for me to seek it out again.

Parlor Doughnuts in Lakeland, FL -- Come for the doughnuts, stay because you've made a new friend…read more My husband and I walked into Parlor Doughnuts around 10:30 in the morning with absolutely NO idea what kind of doughnut we wanted. None. Zero. We stood there studying the menu like it was a major life decision. Thankfully, there wasn't a line behind us, because we probably took a good 10 minutes trying to figure out our doughnut destiny. And the wonderful woman working the counter was SO patient, friendly and helpful. Honestly, she didn't just help us choose doughnuts -- she probably could have helped us figure out our lives, too. And if she ever decides to get into real estate, I'm telling you now -- this gal could sell some houses! She was that engaging and personable. We told her what we liked, and she worked with us. I love peanut butter, and she told me she had a little bit left, so she made me a fresh doughnut with it. It was absolutely delicious. My husband likes very plain doughnuts, so she made him a "Plain Jane" and even offered to add a little sugar or honey. He politely declined because apparently he wants his doughnut to be as plain as humanly possible. We also grabbed a few of their smaller doughnuts, which were only 65¢ each. Everything was incredibly fresh, and there were probably a dozen or so varieties available that morning. Some had already sold out, but here's the cool part: if they have the ingredients, they'll work with you and make what they can. Especially on a slower morning, it felt like such a personal experience. The doughnuts were so fresh that my pictures honestly don't do them justice. The shop itself is also really nice. There's parking around downtown if you look for the free spots, music playing overhead (hello, 60s! ), plenty of tables, couches and comfortable spaces. It would be a great little place to sit and work, too. And the air-conditioning was PERFECT -- not freezing, not roasting. Just right. So if you're in Lakeland, come support this local doughnut shop. The doughnuts are fresh, the people are wonderful, and you might even walk out with a new favorite doughnut... or a new real estate agent. Parlor Doughnuts -- definitely worth a stop!
