    Very nice family owned café, beautiful ambience. The service was absolutely amazing. We actually got to meet the owner. The food was one of a kind, fresh hot and unique meals definitely recommending visiting this cafe, 10/10; very much enjoyed.

    I had a lunch date here with Gina. I got the Nashville fried chicken. I actually did think it would be actual fried chicken, it was chicken on a bun which was fine. I ate what i ordered. Gina got a chicken shish kabob on pita bread, as she flirted with Tiramisu French Toast and will get it next time. The space was very quaint, Lavender found themselves turning away patrons as a lot of the tables were reserved too. A table did free up for us even though i wasnt opposed to eating outside. There was a chef in the back, a manager per say, and a waitress managing the floor. Service was slow but it was basically the waitress for everyone, dont let that be dealbreaker for you, does give you more conversation time. Thank you! :)

    Service with Maria who was our server, food of course m, atmosphere outside under canopies. All was great!!! Had the burrata over mashed avocado toast with strawberries and a great touch with the sauce. My friend John had the falafel entree over salad with pita bread.

    Lavender Cafe & Bistro is situated at the end of a strip mall that consists of a bunch of other restaurants. Hubby and I needed breakfast before we made the drive home to Fort Lauderdale. Nearly everything in the restaurant is lavender-colored, which speaks to my heart because purple is my favorite color. The restaurant is on the cozy side, so the tables are very close together so you can hear your neighbors conversations. This is the only downside of this restaurant, in my opinion. The service is very good. You can tell it is family owned and run, everyone helps each other out, and there is a manager (I think) that walks around to make sure everyone is happy and tables are bussed. I enjoyed the nice, strong shot of Turkish coffee and my hubby enjoyed the fresh-squeezed orange juice. Hubby and I both ordered the filet mignon eggs benedict, which was STELLAR. He said it was the best steak and eggs he's ever had, which is saying a lot for him. It was my first time, and I loved them. We then shared the "French Toast Tiramisu," which was scrumptious, but bore no resemblance to Tiramisu at all. It was light, fluffy French toast slices with fresh fruit, Belgian chocolate sauce, and a dollop of cream on top. Hubby said it's a good thing that we do not live nearby, because we would go there too often. Highly recommend!

    The food was fine. I love lavender e v e r y t h i n g, so I was super excited to come see this place. It was a cute little restaurant, not busy at all when we visited.

    Came here on NYE for dinner with our group of four. Lavender is a nice cozy cafe, with colors true to its name. We were welcomed upon entering and seated promptly. I ordered the Bellini to drink and it was nice. We shared the Grilled Spanish Octopus and the Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad to start. The Octopus was grilled nicely but unfortunately it was smothered in a sauce that really didn't add anything. The salad was very large, even to share for four, and very tasty with pears, strawberries, walnuts and a large chunk of burrata. Very nice dish. I had the Mediterranean Seabass Branzino and it was very good. A fairly large fish and cooked just right and with absolutely no bones. We finished with Turkish Pistachio Baklava and the Vanilla Ice Cream. That Baklava! Oh my! It's wonderful, so tasty. Ice cream was good too, very thick. We had good service from Hunter as well as the manager who stopped by several times. Very nice place and would return.

    AMAZING!!! I'm sure there's another word I can use, but my vocabulary is not that extensive! lol! I don't know what else to say. The food was so delicious. I kept eating, and eating and eating until I was way past full!!! If you are ever in Naples, FL please check this place out for dinner. I hope that I'll be back in Naples sooner rather than later so that I can go back to lavender café and bistro because I know whatever I order I will not be disappointed.!!!!

    We came here for brunch on a Sunday. The staff created us immediately and offered us inside or outside seating. We ordered the lavender mimosas kit. They give you the whole bottle and keep in a chiller so you're not stuff with warm mimosas if you take awhile to enjoy your drinks. For food we went with the lavender pancakes and steak and eggs. The pancakes with light and fluffy. They had a nice lavender flavor that wasn't too over powering so felt like you were eating a garden. For dessert, we had the baklava which comes imported from turkey. It is by far one of the best baklava I have ever had. While we were enjoying our the meal owner came around and checked on all the tables and greet everyone.. All off the staff was very attentive. We would love to come back and try their dinner menu.

Steve made my hot sub ( I like that they have both hot and cold options) . The Commodore was quite tasty and very filling. It is fine for a really nice sandwich, but it is somewhat pricey.

Offer you a coffee while you wait. That's the seduction. -The small (aka "Minnow") Caprese Pesto had lots of greens. Mozzarella? Not so much. -The regular ("Submarine") Tuna Tsunami (really just Tuna and Cheese)? Unseasoned tuna, with cheap, flavorless, industrial provolone. -The chips were actually the strongest thing in the bag. I could acquiesce if the sandwiches were memorable. Alas, they were not. YCS calls itself a "...new type of upscale sandwich shop." What does that mean, exactly? High prices. Quality seems not to be much of a consideration. Blatant rip off, even by Naples standards.

After my experience on Thursday, February 12th, that's over. At 6:05 PM, I placed a small online order (mozzarella sticks, a calzone, and a sandwich) through their website, as I always do. Estimated pickup: 29 to 34 minutes. I arrived at 6:41 with my wife and kids in the car. Food wasn't ready, but "five more minutes." Fine. Five turned into twenty. Twenty turned into forty. During that time, I watched the staff take phone orders and quote every customer "20 to 25 minutes," no matter the order size. When I asked what the holdup was, the staff, who were genuinely doing their best, explained that new kitchen staff were struggling. My son was starving, so I left to grab him food elsewhere and came back about 30 minutes later, confident my order would be waiting. It wasn't. At 7:35 PM, ninety minutes after placing a three-item order, nothing was ready. I asked the staff why they were still quoting 20-minute turnarounds when the reality was 90+ minutes. I suggested they pause online ordering to let the kitchen recover. They told me the owner, Jared Grifoni, has instructed them to keep online orders on and to continue telling customers 20 minutes, despite knowing the kitchen is nowhere close to meeting that timeline. That's not a bad night. That's a policy decision to mislead customers for the sake of revenue. I requested a refund. As it was being processed, two of my three items finally came out. When the staff asked the kitchen about the last item, the answer was: "I have no idea when we'll get to that." I left at 7:46 PM, one hour and forty-one minutes after ordering. To be clear: the staff on the floor that night are not to blame. They were put in a no-win situation and handled it as well as anyone could. The issue is ownership making a conscious choice to overload the kitchen, deceive customers about wait times, and let the staff absorb the fallout. When I arrived, the restaurant was nearly full. When I left, it was almost empty. I won't be adding myself to either count again.

    5+ Star Review for Mercato Italiano…read more From the moment you walk into Mercato Italiano, you know you have found something special. This is not just a café. It is an experience that brings authentic Italian flavor and warmth right into the heart of Naples. Let me start with the espresso. The flavor was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. You can taste the quality in every sip. It had that true Italian profile, bold but never bitter, and it set the tone for everything that followed. Now the food. I ordered a croissant sandwich, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The croissant itself was fresh out of the oven, light, flaky, and buttery in all the right ways. Inside, I had two sunny-side-up eggs cooked just right, paired with prosciutto, bacon, and ham. The combination of flavors was incredible. Every bite gave you a perfect mix of savory, rich, and slightly salty notes, all brought together by that warm, delicate croissant. What really stood out was the presentation. This was not just a sandwich thrown on a plate. It was carefully arranged on a platter, clean, inviting, and done with pride. You can tell they care about every detail. The atmosphere completes the experience. The energy inside is welcoming, relaxed, and full of character. It feels like a place where people come not just to eat, but to slow down, connect, and enjoy the moment. Whether you are stopping in for a quick espresso or sitting down for a full breakfast, the environment makes you want to stay. The experience was outstanding along with the service that made you feel like Family. If you are anywhere near Naples, this is a must-visit. Mercato Italiano delivers on flavor, presentation, and experience at the highest level. This is easily a 5-plus star spot, and a place I will return to again without hesitation.

    Authenticity is evident in every detail- fresh and delicious all around. This is a must stop at…read moreplace

We shared Cannoli, Sfogliatelle, Meringue, Maritozzo and Bombolone. Everything was yummy. The three of us enjoyed an Italian brunch in Naples, FL.
