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.

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 menu and open times are limited but that is because everything truly is fresh and tastes like it was made with quality. I will definitely be back! So far, this is the best sandwich spot I have had in Lakeland.

We were in the mood for a pizza for dinner so decided to give Evano's a try since we saw photos of…read moretheir pizza on Facebook and wanted to give the cupped pepperoni a try. We called and placed our order for an 18" pepperoni pie and were quoted 15 minutes. A quick drive over left us a little confused in the parking lot. Evano's appears to share a storefront with Britt's Cafe. Not a big deal but the signage on the door said they were closed but the neon sign said open. I tried the door, walked in and was quickly greeted. I paid for my order and off we went towards home, the great smell of garlic wafting through the truck. The pizza has more of a flat crust and foldable but we found the amount of cheese to be a little short than edge-to-edge. The cupped pepperoni we were looking for was less than expected as well with each of the huge pizza slices only having 3-4 pieces. The sauce was good - not too spicy and not to sweet - and there was a garlic butter basted on the outside edge. In all it was pretty good but if ordered again I'd definitely ask for double pepperoni.

I'm not usually over critical of pizza, as I LOVE all types of pizza. Corn dusted crust is an…read moreabsolute favorite of mine. When I heard that's what Evano's used, I wanted to give them a try. Tonight I ordered an 18" 3 cheese with pepperoni and hamburger, a 10" 3 cheese and buffalo tenders. This was the single worst pizza I have had, in all of Central FL, since moving to FL 11 years ago. The sauce was more like tomato paste, dry and thick. The cheese had no flavor, obviously not whole milk. The crust may of been decent, in the right hands. Whatever oven they use to cook it in needs cleaning, as all the pizzas had the flavor of phantom toppings (peppers, onion, etc). It was actually stomach churning bad. Tossed all of it in the trash. Don't even ask about the tenders

I swung by Salem's because I needed a quick meal and they were open. Their sign outside mentioned…read moregyros and that sounded good. On hindsight, I should have parked and went inside, but was too tired and went through the drive-thru instead. Big mistake. That was so slow, people were turning their vehicles off. There is no way to exit the line, once you are in, so you are stuck. I'm not sure exactly how long I was in that line, but it was one of the longest I've experienced. I ordered an original gyro meal that comes with fries and a soda and I asked for an extra cup of tzatziki sauce. When I got home, it was still hot and fresh - definitely just made. The fries were good, had a nice seasoning on them. Unfortunately my diet soda was a regular. The tzatziki sauce was the blandest I've ever tasted. The gyro itself was generous in size and the pita was soft. Unfortunately the taste was very average. If I had not tried a Gyro before then perhaps I would've enjoyed it, but I've had very good and I've had very poor and this one truly rates average in taste. Maybe I'll be back to try something else?

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. Some daily specials. They are still very weak promoters of their food, changing menu, etc, making me a rare user.

They came with some sauce drizzled on them , not sure what it was but all I can say is yum!!!! The chicken biscuit was great. The biscuit was crispy yet fluffy and the chicken was crispy and juicy.
