I've been wanting to check Concord out and finally got the chance on the way back from a trip. The parking was easy and led me right through a courtyard where I could see the roaster behind glass windows on one side and the retail coffee shop on the other. 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! Bathroom was clean, coffee was perfect, and ambiance made me feel like staying. 10/10

Very nice espresso shop with relaxing vibe and classy decor…read more The staff was immediately helpful in discussing available drinks. We chose an Americano to get a sense of the espresso flavor. ...an Americano is shots of espresso mixed with steamed water. I'm not sure the origins of the beans, but I hadn't had this flavor before. It isn't the bold flavor that we're use to from Starbucks, so I'd say it was good, and I could tell it was a good pull from the machine. Although it's not what I'm used to, this is a "Recommend" because, I liked it and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. And, the price was not bad at all.

After, ordering I used the restroom and it was filthy. The toilet was dirty, the mirror and sink were not clean. My brothers were waiting for our drinks. My brother brought over my Mom's drink and my drink to the table. We drank our drinks, then 36 minutes later, after asking three times and wondering where there drinks were they were served the rest of our drinks with no apologies. By the time, they came to the table, they were too tired from standing and waiting to stay there any longer. So we left, frustrated and upset. I don't like giving a two star, but this was unacceptable.

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 strawberry icing actually tasted like strawberries in the most amazing way possible. My only real criticism : The line system was a bit confusing and it seemed like online orders were priority over people that were actually there. At least that's how it appeared. Other than that WE WILL BE BACK!

Yumminess overload!…read more Tips to know: order online for pickup so you get exactly what you want or get there early before they sell out! The place was crowded when we got there around lunchtime. There is comfy seating which I was not sure of initially so that's a plus! They have an array of pastries as well as several types of sandwiches. Everything is at the checkout counter to view before ordering. The staff is friendly and helpful. We ordered a gluten free chocolate chip cookie and a strawberry glazed chocolate filled cruffin.. part muffin part croissant.. so delightful!! I'm craving another just writing this! The cookie was super yummy as well with chunks of chocolate! We will definitely be returning to this location!

I got a ham, cheddar, and egg sandwich two days in a row! It was so good. Now the hash browns were very greasy. I also tried there chicken gumbo and I would not recommend! The flavor is more spice then season and overly rued. It was giving trying but not accomplished. I've had better gumbo in Chicago. However the sandwich was fire. The hashbrows were ok, I don't hate them, I purchased them twice. My opinion still stands on the grease it heavy on grease but perfect for a hangover lol. Everyone was very nice in the restaurant. The service can be slow bc the coworkers talk more about personal things vs getting the orders done but it's still good! I was actually upset, I was late to set ,bc the girl stopped to have a convo before grabbing my order lol. However it was still a good croissant sandwich and I'd come here again if ever in Lakeland. Lastly, they make all they're treats! I didn't try them bc I'm not a sweets person but if I was the Oreo red velvet cake would've been the first choice!
