And definitely check out the homemade kimchi, made right in-house by Gigi herself, it's a must-try! Don't be surprised to find Gigi behind the counter, either. She is an absolute workhorse and one of the nicest, sweetest people you'll meet. You can tell she puts her heart into her store. If you're cooking Asian cuisine or just looking to try something new, chances are Gigi's has it! I love supporting little local gems like this.

If I could rate this little store any higher I would, Gigi is a treasure and she is always so…read morefriendly and kind! The store is always clean and well stocked and has great prices. And the kimchi? Literally the best kimchi I've ever eaten. This shop is by far one of my favorite places in Lakeland and well worth the visit!

This is a chain grocery that began in NY. This particular one is a Latino store full of specialty…read moreand grocery items. It also has a two table "bistro" seating at the bakery and a separate room for cafeteria style Latin steam bins of hot meals by the plate. The walls advertise "Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, Puerto RIco" and the like. Prices are fairly good everywhere, however, knowing typical pricing is helpful. For example besitos or coconut kisses (macaroons) at the bakery are $2 when they are .75 in other bakeries. It is worth your stroll through (it is in a "food dessert" area and there is a significant homeless population in the area). English does not seem to be the first language in this store. The ready to go foods look good and I'm hopeful it's a new Lakeland Treasure (It replaces a Bravo Supermarket)

This is a Mexican grocery store with a limited selection of produce, meats, sodas, and other items…read more It's very indie and hole-in-the-wall if that's your thing. Meat cuts here are for traditional Mexican dishes. A food truck was outside when I was there serving up what looked like quite authentic and tasty Mexican fare. Tom's Diner is a stone's throw away in this countryish outside of town section of Lakeland. Fun for an adventure.

This time the variety of banchan and the sushi grade salmon caught my eye. There was so many different varieties. I am sensitive with the smell though and this has a milder but still obvious smell compared to other Asian Markets which are way stronger. They also have a lot of plants available to purchase outside. The people working the check out are very nice.

Stopped by here on a whim about a month ago after kicking around the Brandon Mall on afternoon…read more Wanted a good sandwich. I was AMAZED and had to revisit. Had the Italian the first time. Bomb! Drive down for a 2nd go - I live about 30 minutes north of Brandon - totally worth the drive. Thought tonight, I'll get Luca Brasi. Jeeez Louise - SO GOOD. That horseradish hits on another level! Employees are super welcoming and helpful. Chill, hole-in-the-wall, locals-vibe with authentic Italian decor. Will def make the drive again. Skip all the other Brandon crappy chains. This is THE SPOT.

First of all, the people here are a literal delight. They're extremely nice and make your visit…read moregreat! The food is amazing, getting the Monica sandwich was definitely a great choice for us. It's refreshing and delicious, as was the sparkling water we got. The ambiance is an old world Italian market right in Brandon and is quite nice. It's a great place to sit down with your wife and baby to have a fantastic sandwich for lunch and get yourself some pesto. I definitely recommend Josephine's because I'll definitely be going back!

"I'd feel awkward", "they won't have what I want" yeesh, give it a rest with that boulderdash because greatness of options are just on the other side of the door. Great people working, great of prepared foods, the music playing, the happy vibes, pretty ladies, big mamma's cooking in the back with stock pots over their heads - they're all here, on 674. All in the many wonderful markets your passing as you (not you - those other people) drive to Costco or Wally World Walmart. Don't be shy, step right out of your car, walk right in, look about and let your senses be overtaken by the beautiful Mexican culture. Prices her are so low, you'll think your in Tijuana - as for myself, my tri-weekly stops here consist of vegetables, chicken and beer - monthly purchases are black beans, rice and queso. The vegetables are so fresh and where else can you find cactus leaf ? Corona Familiar , and .99 cent chicken legs for pup - rabbits already popping up for Easter - and let it be known that every Catholic holiday gets proper appointments of decorations. I'll be hoping to see y'all Check In..

From the outside it looks closed because they hang their locks. Their stickers on the doors are labeled incorrectly haha. It says to push when you need to pull and the Inside says to pull, when you need to push. Aisles - Probably fits one shopping cart at a time because I struggled a bit with an older Asian woman while I was shopping. Products - Has the produce, sauces, flours, meats, name brand ingredients you'll typically need. (Lemon grass, leaves, fish sauce, oyster sauce, light/dark soy sauce, mushroom sauce, etc., chicken broth pebbles, curry pastes, Thai basil, green long beans, sprouts, instant coffees, wonton/eggrolls wrappers, thin/thick noodles, snacks, shrimp chips, coconut milk, bamboo shoots, items to make dessert, etc.) Bathroom - It was small and a lot of their cleaning supplies were in there. Try using the bathroom before or after coming to the market. Customer Service - Great. I don't think the cashier speaks a lot of English, he didn't talk much but he smiled a lot. They accept cash/cards.
