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.

We have been to the Dallas location and is much bigger than here. The store at least carry 30 flavors tea. You can sample all tea by their cup. I try them all and choose the strawberry passion tea. That very good sweet tea. They do have some no sweetener tea. The ring label will be light blue. All the sweet tea ring label is dark blue. Overall I like it. Once you fill up the cup size you like and paid at the counter.

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 have to find one like it in my area. Luckily, it's also a coffee shop so I usually get a coffee as well. If you've never been here, they're located in downtown Lakeland. Now on this particular visit wasn't too busy and I was able to order and get everything right away. The lady working the front was so sweet when I told her how much I love the carrot cake she got me a fresh slice of a new cake and it was so good!! The carrot cake by itself would be perfect but velvety cream cheese icing on top really brings it together. No on this visit I did get a nice latte as well. That was a little dark when it first came out, and she could tell by the look on my face that something wasn't right and she fixed it right away lol. I wish Mitchells was closer but it's definitely worth the drive.

I really loved mine, the pork was flavorful and cooked perfectly, the broth was rich and delicious, and the spice level was spot on without being overwhelming. My wife really enjoyed her ramen as well and was happy with her choice. We also ordered an appetizer of gyoza. They were good and enjoyable, though nothing especially standout compared to the ramen. The restaurant is close by for us, which is a big plus. The staff is very friendly, the place was clean, and service was fast, we had our food in about 10 minutes. Overall, a solid spot that we'll definitely be coming back to.

A few seconds later, someone finally walked over, but I was told to use the screen to order and that I would have to put my phone number in to look at the menu.

I politely said no thank you and walked out. Really disappointed because I was hoping to try the Boba and I wish that there was an easier way to look at the menu and place an order.

However, due to Cindy's behavior, i stopped volunteering and visiting entirely. the lounge was once under investigation because of her behavior, and based on my experience, those concerns were valid. Cindy presents herself as compassionate, but she is manipulative, unprofessional, and often cruel. She talks badly about employees to others, slut-shames staff, dismisses sexual harassment, spreads personal and intimate information, and retaliates when employees or volunteers set boundaries. volunteers are guilt-tripped into overworking, and those who say no are treated differently. she also speaks disrespectfully about paying customers and regularly gives unsolicited medical opinions despite not being a doctor. when concerns are brought to her, she deflects blame, refuses accountability, and dismisses criticism. Cindy claims KCL is struggling due to lack of visitors, but the high prices, tense environment, overall mismanagement, and homeless camp in the parking lot may be why. i sent her a detailed message explaining my concerns; her response was dismissive and condescending, and she took no responsibility. the cats, staff, and volunteers deserve far better than this leadership.
