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 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.

I went with that choice because meat ones are the most tasty as always so it's weird that you could get a bad meat pho.. but fish ones NOT EVERYONE DOES IT RIGHT!

The woman taking our order was semi-abrasive in the beginning, but chilled out somewhat by the end of placing our order. I ordered the Ciabatta Cheesesteak sandwich and she ordered the Frontega Chicken sandwich. I wasn't impressed, as over the years past, with my sandwich. There was not enough meat and the flavors just did not provide me with a, "yum, that's pretty good, I think we will have to come back one day" feeling. The wife's sandwich was "too peppery" for her so we swapped halves. Meh, I wasn't impressed with that sandwich either. The wife ordered just water. The "free" water, from the soda dispenser, was terrible and undrinkable, with a foul odor and heavy (nasty) hard metallic taste. We realize the water in Florida is "hard" and the reason we obtained a purifier for our home, but this needs to be rectified in a restaurant. My ice tea tasted fine. I'm giving this place a 2 star (could've been better) rating, while the wife would probably give them a 4 star (good) rating even with the nasty tap water. My Yelp account, thus my rating. The fresh breads they sell looked good, though I was reluctant to buy any.

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.

This place is about 5 months old. Young lady/cashier who took order was very nice. We did the build your own type thing. Choose half or full size Choose Veggie, Chicken, pork beef, tofu or shrimp. Then pick an entree: Fried rice, Noodle stir-fry or curry. I had Thai Sweet and Sour stir-fry and my wife had the fresh ginger stir-fry Both were pretty good. I prefer my vegetables well cooked and soft but the Asians don't seem to do that. But still good. Not gourmet but good. You also pick your heat: Mild, medium, hot and Thai hot. I really dislike spicy food so I picked mild. There was still a little bit to it but nothing I couldn't stand. My wife says that mild still has some heat. My veersion of mild is zero heat. But it was okay. They also have salad, soup, Appetizers and desserts. Chopsticks, utensils, dishes, water etc. is self service. read more

The parking lot sucks, but that won't detract from my review of the food and service. Once inside it a fairly nondescript establishment with a couple of tables in the lobby to sit at while you wait, or eat there if you were inclined (no thanks). The place was fairly busy for a weekday late afternoon, with patrons picking up food and/or placing orders. A few folks you could tell were regular customers, which in itself is a good sign. I ordered the 'Hawaii Five O' which listed crispy shrimp, scallops, chicken, beef, roast pork and vegetables. The wife (aka better half) ordered the 'two item special' of honey chicken and chicken Teriyaki. We also ordered a side of fried pork wontons and crab rangoon. The wait was not very long and the bag felt like it weighed 10 pounds when it was handed off. On the 35 minute drive home the little lady consumed half the wontons and stated they were quite good, which I would agree with later. Both of our entrees were HUGE. They provided plenty of fried and white rice. My Hawaii Five O was very tasty and the better half enjoyed her selection(s) as well. The portions were so big that we had leftovers the following day. The next day I added some red pepper flakes to kick mine up a notch. Neither day was I disappointed. The service was efficient and pleasant enough. If we are in this part of Lakeland in the future and get a hankering for Chinese takeout we would definitely patronize the place again. Oh yeah, the Hawaii Five O at the end of the description had "lobster" listed. This was either a misprint or if there was a piece in it it was minute. Regardless, the flavors were on point.

I placed an online lunch order for three people with the expectation that we would be able to share the dishes. I ordered three entrées and an order of spring rolls. I was surprised that they didn't offer a lunch menu, and I found the prices to be quite high, but I decided to give them a chance, hoping the quality and portion sizes would justify the cost. Shortly after placing the order, I received a call from the restaurant regarding an issue they had been experiencing with their website. Since I had the employee on the phone, I asked if they could please include three plates, as we planned to share the food. I was told they didn't carry plates. When I arrived to pick up my order, I was greeted with, "How can I help you?" I explained that I was there for a pickup order. The employee handed me the bag and immediately started to walk away. I stopped her to ask again if there was any way to get plates. She appeared annoyed and told me they didn't have any, but she could give me some forks. Apparently, they don't automatically include utensils with to-go orders unless you specifically ask for them. Unfortunately, the service issues were only the beginning. To our disappointment, the food was awful. Every dish was bland, lacked flavor, and the beef in the Pad Thai didn't even look like beef (see picture). In the end, we spent nearly $60 on three entrées and an order of spring rolls. The photo on the website shows six spring rolls, but our order contained only three. The portions were small, the food was underwhelming, and we were left both hungry and disappointed. I understand that every restaurant can have an off day, but between the poor service, misleading photos, high prices, and disappointing food, this is not a place I can recommend or see myself visiting again.
