The coffee was yummy and the chocolate chip cookie was something you crave long after you have devoured it! You can't go wrong here!

Pressed Books is one of my favorite places to visit whenever I'm in Lakeland. The ambiance alone keeps me coming back. If you're someone who loves being surrounded by books, this place is such a cozy escape. The building is absolutely beautiful, with so much character. I love all of the historic details.. the old windows, stained glass accents, and charming architecture make it a place you want to linger in for a while. The coffee isn't the best I've ever had, but it's still a solid option. I come here less for the coffee itself and more for the experience of slowing down, reading a book, or simply enjoying the atmosphere. If you're looking for a peaceful, cozy bookstore café with tons of charm, Pressed Books is well worth a visit. read more

Chill bookshop with good albeit expensive coffee. Downtown Lakeland doesn't have great parking either so you'll be hunting for a spot middle of the day. There coffees have literary themes. I had the Tolkien which was pretty great. With their lowest tip option on the screen it was $9 and I read a local magazine about things to do in the area but they have everything from children's books to religion to romance and history. It's worth a trip just price to be your third place. read more

Pressed Coffee & Books is such a gem. The book-filled atmosphere makes it the perfect place to slow down and unwind, and the coffee was excellent. Everything about the space felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. The drip coffee is a must-try. read more

Really cute and spacious coffee shop that has books for sale (both new and used) at the front of the store. The tea selection was really lovely and I enjoyed the iced tea that I selected. Highly recommend for a place to chill out if you're in the area. read more

Pressed Coffee gives total "early seasons Rory Gilmore studying with a book she actually understands" energy--super chill, cozy spot. Coffee wise, kinda mixed bag. We tried a plain latte to test the espresso and it was like... a solid 4/5, nothing crazy. Last time we got the honey latte though and that one definitely ate a little harder. Still a cute hang, just maybe not life-changing beans. read more

Stopped in to browse after hearing about this little spot from some friends. I'm personally determined to go to as many local bookstores as I can, so this one made the list. It's also a lovely little coffee shop! browsed around and didn't really find any books I wanted to pick up this time. However, went ahead and bought a Pressed LKLD sticker, a "Shop local" waterproof sticker for my water bottle, and had an iced Hobbit latte. I also had my personal bookstore passport stamped! They stamped it with the same stamp that they usually use for the hot cup sleeves, so it's the official business stamp and I love it. (if you wish to know, the bookstore passport is bound from The Little Book Store and proceeds go to the BINC foundation). My latte was flavorful, the espresso was a great roast that went well with the salty caramel flavor, and the service was absolutely fantastic. I even got a list of the other bookstores in Lakeland, so I now have a goal in the area! read more

Loved the setting and relaxing mood. The Hemingway is a must try. Love it. Have a seat and read some writing by locals.

Ten thousand stars for the fact that they play Gregory Alan Isakov in this joint. Never heard of him? You are missing out. Great coffee, sweets and atmosphere. Could not believe I was still in Florida much less tiny Lakeland when I walked in here. Kudos! read more

I love the vibe at this place. It's perfect to get work done or have coffee with friends. I love that it's also a book store. I found the perfect book the last time I was there and read half of it while sitting on a cozy couch near the window. Perfect reading space!! The coffee is pretty good!!! But my sister did not like her drink. I think we just weren't huge fans of the oat milk they use. Customer service is great!!! read more

This coffee shop/bookstore hybrid compliments each other very well. It is a no frills bookshop coffee shop. The bakery selection was very simple and straightforward, and the coffee and tea options weren't overly complicated. We tried the Latte and the Sweater Weather (a seasonal Color Theory Tea consisting of apple, cinnamon, and licorice). The Latte was standard and well made, although the foam art could use a little more practice. The Sweater Weather was great, and provided the perfect flavor profile that embodied the unique flavor combination that it was supposed to without being overly sweet. Patrons seemed at ease, and the atmosphere was calm and quiet. The book selection was limited, as expected for an establishment of this size. However, there are enough genres that anyone can come in and find something that they like. I think this establishment shines in that it focuses on what it's meant to be, and it does it well. We will definitely swing by again for a reading/productive day. read more

A coffee shop also partially disguised as a book store- how could things get any better?? Well, they also sell some art from local artists, have pastries from nearby favorite Honeycomb bread bakers, and serve other favorite Ethos coffee roasters! For any one who may wonder, Pressed took over the space where the business "Twenty-seven" used to be. And Twenty-seven is gone gone now, they didn't move locations or anything sadly. But it's a great location here, just off Massachusetts and the main street of downtown Lakeland, where the Farmers Market also takes place every Saturday. That's how I accidentally realized this was open. My chai latte was wonderful and happy-making - any coffee that's happy making is a good one! And I just love the atmosphere in this shop, it's a perfect one to sit and enjoy company, or get work done, or read a book like a handful of people were when I went. It is as much a bookstore as a coffee shop, after all. Only good vibes!!! read more

Such a fun find. Great blend of coffee shop & book shop. Filled with mostly young college-looking kids, engaged in chats, or laptops with a great beverage and perhaps a pastry. They are supplied by Honeycomb Bread Bakers or Bandidas twice a week in sublime pastries. I've enjoyed their iced lattes but don't have a "memorable" bean or know if they served my beloved nonfat milk. I've not yet had time to stay awhile yet. I see they carry Color Theory teas and some Lakeland type gifts as well as art. Loved that they collected books for the Book Bus and helped another charity with activity book donations. This business is inclusive & community-minded. read more

I have had bad experiences with the new owners. The whole atmosphere of the store is different now. They want a certain type of customer.

Adorable place, great atmosphere for studying! Nice coffee, plenty of outlets and comfortable seating!

This is an awesome coffee shop! It is clean, delicious coffee and great scones. They are HUGE! Another plus is great service and personable barista's! It's quiet, tables and comfortable chairs and couches on which to sit and a great place to get work done! I would like to see them get coffee cups to sip out of if you're staying. read more

After calling and emailing for a week 1/2 finally confirmed a date for my event. Planned and sent out invites. They cancelled 3 weeks before saying they had no staff to work it. The owner was not remorseful of my situation and the fact that I had to find a new place. Terrible customer service. Do not recommend to anyone unless you want to be left high and dry. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in down town lakeland! A coffee shop mixed with a bookstore its my dream place! Their coffee is amazing (if you like lavender I recommend a lavender and vanilla latte) they don't have a lot of food options so 8ts good if you just want a nice bagel or a muffin to go with your coffee. They have a very chill vibe and always have good music playing. read more

Love this place to collect my thoughts, relax by the window with the sunlight coming through.. it's the best! Grab a coffee and a croissant or grab a book! You can do both! The ambiance is just right if you're looking for a taste of Lakeland and a bit of serenity. read more

Excellent service, comfortable seating, well designed space...spend some time here. Downtown location is convenient to other shopping, etc.

I've been to every coffee in Lakeland many times over the last 20 years and PRESSED is by far the best. I feel at home when I visit Pressed every morning because the staff welcomes me and all your customers with open arms. They treat every customer like family. The owner, Christina is truly amazing and she has created something very special for our town. A true gem nestled into downtown Lakeland. Her team is the best team in town. Sam, Emily, Sarah, Kailynn, and Bri are truly amazing and each one of them knows me by name and they always take the time to ask how I am doing. Pressed and their team remind me of back home so much. If you want great coffee, pressed is definitely the place. If you want delicious pastries, pressed is the pace. If you want any type of book, they are definitely the place. If you want a place to work, meet friends or take someone on a date, hands down this is the place. If you want to find a new home and family like me, Pressed is the only coffee shop in town. Pressed is all you need! I love you guys so much and thank you for always treating me like family. If you are visiting the area, Pressed should be on your must visit coffee shops. If you are a local, Pressed should be your daily stop for coffee & love! The best of the best in Lakeland!!!!! read more
