Got some of meraki bake houses goodies at the Saturday morning market…read more We just got back from a trip from Paris so it's hard to beat there croissants. I actually likes the savory over the sweet pistachio. My wife got a cinnamon roll which she loved. We also liked the cupcake. They were a little pricey but I would pay it all over again. The line moves fast but get there early because they always sell out. The little stand moves but you'll know you're in the right place when you see the line. The women who work is are very nice and will help you find what you're looking for.

I started with crab dip as a starter preceded by a fresh salad that had a refreshing vinegrette with parmesan at the bottom ( so good!!) Then came the seabass.... OMFG !! Prepared flawlessly accompanied with double veggies due to me refusing the potato mash (cuz im watching my carb intake) and washed down with a mojito. Every bite was fulfilling. And I will definitely come back!! (Visiting from Oakland, California)

Overpriced and not that good of quality. The snapper fish?…read moreIt was fried and in chunks.. that isn't gourmet. The plantains were hard. The pollo vija (chicken and rice) was just a bowl of rice with a burn chicken leg on top then some chunks of fatty chicken throughout. Disappointing and not much flavor. The Yuca fries were flavorless and greasy. We spent over $100 here. Never again. If you want delicious and authentic, and a little cheaper? Go to the historical COLUMBIA restaurant in Tampa area. It's beautiful and the cuisine is authentic as well as flavorful, and they give warm comforting piece of Cuban bread before the meal with fresh butter. Thank me later.

We live in Tampa, but every time we're in or around Lakeland, we stop by The Joinery…read more Their food selection is great, we love the BBQ, Ramen and Pizza spots, but the Sushi, Burger and Ice Cream spots are great as well! Gonna be honest, I didn't care for the Mexican restaurant but I'm sure they're there for a reason! The bar staff is great and always super friendly.

The joinery is a neat place and I hope more places like it pop up all over Central Florida…read more I first experienced something like it in Texas and I think it is a great buisness model. My wife and I had Poke bowls from Zukku and it was great! Fresh ingrediants, simple way to order, and the vibe is extremely chill. Fun place for the entire family, my only complaint is the parking. Other than that everything was good and we enjoyed the experience.

We didn't have our regular place available because of New Years Day so we found this and I'm so…read moreglad we did. You can tell they do more take out than anything but they do have a bunch of tables inside. We were greeted so nicely and given clear soup which was tasty. Then they brought some sort of tempura crab with their house sauce I think on it. It was delicious and just a nice touch. Loved the Kani salad. Again, the house sauce or their version of spicy mayo was really tasty. We got a variety of rolls and nigiri. The only thing that anyone would say something bad about was that the nigiri was really thick. We were happy with everything though and will probably come here from now on instead of our regular place!

When you walk in, you're greeted with a complimentary Eddie Special, which is a tempura shrimp with…read moresauce on top..along with miso soup on the house, which was a nice touch. We started with crab wontons and Philly cheesesteak egg rolls to share, both solid appetizers but they had no distinctive wow factors. If you dipped them in the sauce they came with it gives it more flavor but on their own they lack seasoning. For my entrée, I ordered the crunchy roll. While the flavor was okay, the presentation felt a bit off and messy compared to what I'm used to from sushi spots that really focus on visual appeal. It just didn't wow me the way I expected. Surprisingly, the Eddie Special ended up being my favorite bite of the night. I also tried my dad's Ginza sushi and enjoyed his choice more than my own. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the pricing is reasonable. Overall, it's a great spot for a quick bite, even if some dishes shine more than others.

Our servers our usually helpful and kind. On the topic of the surroundings, it's honestly very cozy in here.

Been here multiple times and each time been disappointed. Most recently was there with a larger…read moregroup for a holiday celebration. We found the reservation and ahead of time and told them how many so that they would be prepared for us. We got there they didn't have enough seating so some of our party had to sit in a booth that wasn't at the main table and they weren't included. The service was very slow. Understandably we were a large party but they still didn't have enough servers to cover the party because we had to wait a very long time to have our orders taken and waited even longer to get our food. Once we FINALLY got our food there were multiple people that did not like their food because it came out cold, or it was prepared wrong. The fries were unbelievably cold and tasted like rubber. The burgers were ice cold, and the burgers werent better than a fast food burger. Food was awful and the servers tried but it took so long to order and get our food. They were closed before we were able to finish and we got there 1.5 hours BEFORE they closed. So we shouldnt have had to race to eat because they were closed. I told them to take my food off because I wasn't eating cold nasty food and the kitchen was closed because of how long it took. So they took the charge off, which the charged me the wrong price to begin with, but because we were a party over 6 they charged me a service fee to sit there and not eat. I literally had to pay a fee even though I wasn't able to eat anything and didn't get any food. I also can't believe that they serve $18 cheeseburgers on a cutting board! You can see where people have cut into the boards and germs can live for a very LONG time on surfaces. Not to mention you can't really clean or sterilize a wooden cutting board. Especially since it's passed around with who knows how many people have eaten off of them. Why would you serve an $18+ burger on an old beaten up wooden cutting board!!! This was the second time we've gone and both times the food was awful. I wouldn't recommend this place, EVER!

One complaint: each table features a card advertising happy hour. Although we were there during happy hour, drinks are not available at the happy hour price. Our waiter was as confused about that as we were. He said the cards had been there quite some time. Misleading if not downright deceitful. I love this place too much to make a fuss, but I felt like my loyalty had been betrayed.

We finally stopped in for a slice while visiting downtown Lakeland, and wow... I'm kicking myself…read morefor not coming here sooner. I'm usually not a fan of pizza by the slice, but I kept an open mind--and I'm so glad I did. My wife ordered the chicken Caesar slice and I went with the meat lovers, and hands down, this was the best pizza I've had in the five years I've lived in Lakeland. That's how good it was: the moment we finished our slices, we immediately ordered takeout for dinner later that night. We got the chicken broccoli pasta, cheese tortellini, and a Stromboli that was literally the size of a large pizza box. Everything was absolutely incredible--even after reheating at home, it tasted fresh and amazing. This place completely exceeded expectations from start to finish. Incredible food, generous portions, and clearly made with care. I can't wait to come back and work my way through the menu. Highly recommend--this spot is a must-visit. Service was super fast and the atmosphere is pretty chill. It does get extremely busy. They do have a really nice seating area outside on the side of the building. It's somewhat secluded or you can sit in front of the restaurant to see the happenings downtown.

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.
