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.

I knew exactly what I wanted for the entree but the server (she was incredible) also suggested the poached pear and caprese salads to start. While the poached pear was very good the caprese, with fresh buratta was out of this world! My companion orderd a unique take on chicken cordon bleu and the portion was huge. What brought me here was the roast duck with cherry sauce and it did not disappoint. In fact, it instantly became one of the top 5 entrees I've had in my entire life. Yes, it was that good! They were even kind enough to exchange the potato for the risotto of the day. Finished it off with a scratch made Lemon Blueberry cake. While their wine list is ok and reasonably priced, take advantage of their $20 corkage fee and bring a great bottle to pair with their incredible food! If you don't live in Lakeland, make the drive! You won't be disappointed!

After being seated, it took forever to order, and get drinks and food. My daughter ended up getting her meal to go since it took over an hour to get food after ordering. While eating, we ordered dessert to go hoping it would be quicker.. Another 35-40 minutes. Grrr. We had an hour and a half drive home as the school was in Lakeland and we do not live near by. Everything was just so slow. The food was Ok, nothing spectacular. We just wanted to celebrate our son graduating. It ended up being a 3-1/2 hour ordeal. I would not come back if in the area, because of the poor service and long wait times.

The whole atmosphere is exactly what you want -- clean, positive, chill, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The ordering experience is so easy. There's a giant menu when you walk in, and then big touchscreen LCD menus that honestly feel like the food court screens at IKEA. Every restaurant should switch to this -- save paper, save plastic, and make life easier for everyone. I built my own bowl and grabbed the kale + Fuji apple smoothie. It's not a thick smoothie -- more like something between a juice and an icy -- but still really refreshing and really good. The bowls come in to-go boxes automatically, so you just ask for a lid if you need one. Super convenient. I highly recommend this spot. I don't eat out much, but I'd definitely go back. They even have an app now with $5 off your first order, which I'll definitely be using because the food was that delicious. As someone who has been vegetarian my whole life and fully vegan since early 2025, I can honestly say this place hit every single mark. Not one bad thing to say. It's that good.

If you are looking for healthy on the go, SoFresh has you covered!…read more It's such a task to find healthy and fresh food on the go. I'm so glad to have found this place. There's such a wide variety of healthy food. Here you will find kale, romaine, zucchini noodles, quinoa, brown rice, chickpeas, black beans cucumber, onions, tomatoes, carrots, nuts/seeds, raisins, avocados, eggs, goat cheese, lean cuts of beef, chicken, salmon and so much more. Since everything is cooked to order, you can customize, add, subtract and really create your own meal. There's a little something for everyone, from salad, wraps, bowls, juices, and even food for kids. I enjoy the fact that I can buy a few bowls to help with meal prepping for the week. It saves me time in the kitchen. Catering is also available so you can share healthy eating with others or utilize it to save money when you are trying to feed your family for a little less. The restaurant is a small but is accommodating with an indoor sitting area and also has a few tables and chairs for outdoor dining as well. Pick up is a breeze you prepay or use Uber Eats/Door Dash simply grab and go from the grab and go area. If you decide to order in the restaurant, you can either use the touch screen or place your order with staff at the register. I just wish there were more locations in Orlando and Kissimmee.
