The lady was great with questions about what my mother in law liked, but honestly i really didn't know. I did pick two teas for her gift. Crossing my fingers she likes it.

Located on the main square in downtown Lakeland, Black & Brew is a wonderful option for coffee…read more There is plenty of indoor seating and a limited number of tables just outside. The vibe is awesome with brick walls, tasteful decor, and pleasant music, and just what I look for in a local coffee shop. Prices are fairly reasonable with many drink and food options. Although there was a bit of line when I visited, it moved quickly and staff was efficient in getting ordered items out to guests. I went with a white mocha frappe (5/5), asking for it to be made less sweet. It's not something I ordinarily see on the menu at local coffee shops, so was delighted at how good it was, with just the right amount of sweetness to it. It's shame that there's nothing like it at coffee shops close to where I live, as it's something that'd be in my regular rotation of caffeinated drinks I'd order. As my friends and I enjoyed our experience here, I'd definitely return to Black & Brew, and would recommend them to others looking for a quality coffee shop in Lakeland.

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.

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!

I really loved mine, the pork was flavorful and cooked perfectly, the broth was rich and delicious, and the spice level was spot on without being overwhelming.

The restaurant is close by for us, which is a big plus. The staff is very friendly, the place was clean, and service was fast, we had our food in about 10 minutes. Overall, a solid spot that we'll definitely be coming back to.

Our recent FUN visit to Kitty Cat Louge (which appears to be a stand-alone converted quaint…read moresingle-family home) surpassed our expectations! We spent our first half hour in the kitty lounge petting many a friendly cat and were thrilled that a few were comfy enough to crawl into our laps. Our hearts melted! Cats are all healthy and well cared for, and the space is clean with LOTS of seating, cat towers, cat beds and play toys around. Of course, we fell head over heels in love with many of them. Afterwards we each enjoyed amazing desserts and beverages, served on an ultra-clean dining room with nice and comfortable chairs. The desserts were off-the-chart amazing! So were the coffee and other beverages. The kind gentleman who guided us and served our snacks during our visit was very gracious and friendly. We plan to return often, and encourage anyone who loves cats, delicious food, or a welcoming friendly environment in which to relax, to visit this delightful Kitty Cat Lounge.

However, due to Cindy's behavior, i stopped volunteering and visiting entirely. the lounge was once under investigation because of her behavior, and based on my experience, those concerns were valid. Cindy presents herself as compassionate, but she is manipulative, unprofessional, and often cruel. She talks badly about employees to others, slut-shames staff, dismisses sexual harassment, spreads personal and intimate information, and retaliates when employees or volunteers set boundaries. volunteers are guilt-tripped into overworking, and those who say no are treated differently. she also speaks disrespectfully about paying customers and regularly gives unsolicited medical opinions despite not being a doctor. when concerns are brought to her, she deflects blame, refuses accountability, and dismisses criticism. Cindy claims KCL is struggling due to lack of visitors, but the high prices, tense environment, overall mismanagement, and homeless camp in the parking lot may be why. i sent her a detailed message explaining my concerns; her response was dismissive and condescending, and she took no responsibility. the cats, staff, and volunteers deserve far better than this leadership.
