MK Boba is easily some of the best boba I've ever had. Mind you, I've tried a LOT of boba, and MK…read morejust still manages to stand out. They are a very small local business, so they freshly handmake all of their boba each week. It's the brown sugar kind and the pearls are always big, chewy and just that perfect soft texture. There's not a technical storefront for these guys, but they have a kitchen set up at Catapult Lakeland which is right along Lake Mirror downtown. I think you can visit them during the week? But I have not tried yet. They do set up shop at the Lakeland Farmers Market every Saturday and it's always a hit. They've even upgraded from having a tent stand to their own trailer/ food truck. So proud of the progress. If you follow them on Instagram, you'll also see MK Boba will do pop ups and mini partnerships with other specialty markets. Lakeland has makers markets and other things every few weeks and they'll be at those sometimes, and they even did a partner up with the Poor Porker in town where you could get boba and beignets in the same stop (it's an unlikely but magical duo). Beyond their incredible tapioca boba, the drink flavors MK Boba sells are just so phenomenal. The dirty horchata is a fan favorite, and they also make a strawberry purée that is just delightful mixed with the horchata or matcha. They've started some other specialty flavors as well, like colorful fruity teas and butterfly pea drinks. These guys are just the best, and I'm so proud and happy that they claim Lakeland as their home turf. Their service is always so friendly even though they're quite busy every time they set up, and they deserve all the rewards for how hard they work. Love some MK boba!!

I love the texture of their boba, it is far superior to other boba in the area. My go to orders are the Jasmin green milk tea with boba, green tea smoothie with boba, or the mango passion fruit smoothie with strawberry popping boba if you're in the mood for smoothing fruity and refreshing.

I tried the food this time! Oh so good. We have two of the bowls along with boba! Always good!read more

With the add-ons and tip, the total came to about $18 for both drinks. Fair price and quality! I like how straightforward the menu is, even if the milk tea selection is a bit smaller than other boba shops. The Oolong Milk Tea with Ice Cream is my favorite and wasn't overly sweet, even at 100% sweetness. The Pandan Caramel Thai Milk Tea with Sea Salt Crema was a little sweeter but still well balanced without flavor fatigue. It wasn't busy when we visited, so service was fast and friendly, and ordering through the self-serve kiosk was easy. The shop has a calm, clean, and inviting atmosphere with plenty of seating for studying or relaxing, plus board games to enjoy while you sip your drinks!

Everything was delicious.

The drinks are always delicious, and the service is consistently fast and friendly. I usually go for the hong kong milk tea or the chrysanthemum tea and the barista was able to make it a milk tea which pairs well with their boba. The staff is welcoming and efficient, making every visit a great experience. If you're looking for fresh boba and great customer service, Tiny Batch is definitely worth checking out! Best in town!

If you've never had Vietnamese Iced Coffee, HIGHLY recommend it. They make it just like every Vietnamese restaurant and it's the best iced coffee you'll can get. I ordered an iced coffee, eggrolls, and bo luc lac (shaking beef) for eating in and another coffee and a banh mi to go. The food was so good in the restaurant that I forgot to take pictures. Very tasty and this was a great hidden gem in Lakeland. I went with coworkers as a party of six. Menu clearly states parties of 6+ have tip automatically included. It was and I just wish I could've tipped on top. Place was nice and spacey but casual. You can talk and have conversation. Not a quiet, "upscale" kind of place but would still be great for a date night. Plenty of parking because it's in a huge shopping plaza. Price point is pretty good considering how other places are priced. Overall, if you like Vietnamese food (or have never tried it), this is a great spot to check out. Highly recommend and love finding this spot in my city! EDIT/UPDATE: The food and service is still 5 stars. I took a star off because I found out the tips don't go to the servers. I saw this on a recent visit. Will definitely come back for the food and service, but I won't be tipping. As a former food service worker myself, that doesn't sit right with me.

I've been wanting to check Concord out and finally got the chance on the way back from a trip.

I got a perfect oat milk cortado and nearly walked out with some local rum cake. We sat out on the covered courtyard among the beautiful greenery and there happened to be a local market winding down in the courtyard, so I scored a sourdough loaf from a local baker!
