    The service was great at Sweet Cup Cafe! The value for what you get is very reasonable as well!! Their coffee was nice and strong. The only thing I can say is they forgot to put the white mocha in my coffee I requested. I ended up getting the cinnamon roll. I've yet to have it yet. Will update. The inside of the establishment was well loved and cared for. It was cute and welcoming inside! I recommend Sweet Cup Cafe for sure:)

    Stopped in to get some sweets for the amazing nurses taking care of my MIL across the street at Lakeland Regional. The breakfast burrito is huge and enough to share. The coffee and the staff are so amazing.

    I found this place via an IG, as one does in 2025, and I found myself feeling a little fooled. All of the posts and videos paint this cafe as one thing, and it turned out to be something else for me. There are aesthetic pieces of the shop sure but by in large it is not. I wish they painted a true picture and worked to maintain the look of the Cafe. The outdoor space was was unusable do to a large amount of debris on the sun shade covering the patio. The patio itself was also covered in debris. The food was good but nothing really stood out for me and the staff wasn't happy about answering questions about the menu even though we were changing our order at the register because they were out of some of the items we had planned to order. We were trying to make a decision on the fly. For me a cafe needs to be a place to relax, unwind, and slow down, and this just didn't hit the mark for me. Overall I was disappointed, but I have heard a lot of good thing about it so maybe I just visited on an off day.

    Whenever we're in Lakeland, Sweet Cup Cafe is a mandatory stop. We've even brought family here and we come so often they know our order! The food is amazing & super fresh. I haven't found anything like it since leaving CA. The staff is always super friendly & sweet. It's definitely gotten a lot busier in the last year but we have never not been able to find a table. They have inside & outdoor seating. We keep praying for a Tampa branch. We love Sweet Cup!

    Breakfast with a friend from out of town. Love sharing this place with visitors. Indoor and outdoor seating available fresh ingredients. The new breakfast menu was full of enjoyable choices. Everything is made fresh so it does require a little wait but not super long. Seating and parking is a bit limited and the road construction can be a daunting but definitely worth the visit. Staff is always friendly.

    This was a good one time experience, the staff was nice. The chilaquiles were good but the steak was a little bit cold and dry. The cinnamon bun was alright nothing out of this world they just buy it and heat it up for you. I would just not go back but it's was a good one time experience. The outside patio was so nice, the inside is so pretty too, good for pictures

    You have to bring your culo in here immediately. It is a great local joint that offers fresh authentic food. If you are in Lakeland area you have to stop by with friends for a quick bite. The watermelon limeade and cafe con leche were delicous and complemented meals. Service was great and if you are looking for a date this is the spot

    Just want to say I love to see all the changes! I just hope they can expand in the future for better parking. Love to see you guys flourishing.

    Yo!!!! Didnt expect this from this place at first in all honesty , but after the drinks and food and service, i felt like i was at my tias house that throws it down in the kitchen getting some bomb a** Food . & they have an outdoor area thats pretty dope nd chill. Definitely Coming again. And if your reading this, get you a Torta with chorizo & some green sauce..

    Grilled chicken, pickle onions, mango, avocado on romaine.

    Food is always served and abundance and very tasty. This is grilled chicken, avocado mango Romaine salad with pickled onions. Café con Leche is spot on as well.

    Iced caramel latte with oat milk

    Best coffee in the area hands down! I got an iced caramel latte with oat milk and had to go back every day for the rest of my vacation. The staff is very friendly. They also have great food. The quesabirria was incredible. We also got a steak breakfast burrito and a cookie butter cinnamon roll.

    Thanks, Yelp! When I was hungry after antiquing, you led me here. Nice work!…read more I'm not overly familiar with the Lakeland dining scene (I probably owe it to myself to change that), so needed help satisfying my constant craving for Mexican. The Yelpiverse offered several options. The many mentions of kind service drew me here. And indeed, Yelp was right on. Alex was amazing. He was so friendly and helpful-never made me feel rushed. That was just the thing I needed, after a long work week. So, Tapatio's is on Memorial, not far from Lakeland High School. It's a cute, golden yellow building with several beautiful flower planters and crepe myrtle trees out front. It's eye-catching and yes, there's a big private parking lot. Inside, it's big but cozy. There are two separate dining areas: one up front, facing Memorial. The other is along the side. I was seated in the front area. It's colorful, comfy and homey. There's a wholesome vibe here that makes me wonder if this a family operation. I felt very welcomed. And I absolutely loved the complimentary chips and salsa. The fresh, light chips were served warm and came with two salsas: regular-and a side of spicy, that you can mix in with the regular to your ideal heat level. The menu is large... and it took me a long time to decide. Alex was so patient. I had a margarita, which wasn't too sweet (yay). I also ordered a small side of queso blanco dip and a side of flour tortillas. Frankly, I was stuffed after that, but I didn't want to miss out on anything-so I ordered the lunch "pick two" and went with two tacos: one hard taco with beef and one soft taco with chicken. It came with one side-I went with rice. What a great value for money this was: a huge helping for $11.95! The tacos were stuffed full of meat, that was cooked well. I really enjoyed all the little extra touches here, the attention to detail. There was a paper doily under the cheese dip cup, on the little plate. I liked the engraved logo on the wooden salt and paper shakers on each table and all of the wall art and decor objects. You can tell the owners/staff care about the business and the customers. I wish them all good things and huge success.

It looked authentic, but you never know til you try it. She ordered the carne asada taco plate and I opted for the chips/salsa, the chicken enchiladas verde plate and avocado and rice for my daughter. The chicken in the enchiladas was moist and tender. The corn tortillas were perfectly made (FROM SCRATCH) and the sauce mmm mmmm mmmm. It was only improved by the 4oz of homemade salsa I poured on top of them. My 3yo daughter loved her rice and did a little hip shake dance when I told her I was ordering more for her to go The only thing disappointing was that they didn't have queso. It's a counter service place and is very unassuming. What a gem it is!!! This place is no where convenient for me to get to, but I will go out of my way to get there again, and very soon.

    We stumbled upon this little hole-in-the-wall called Taqueria El Gordo, and let me tell you... if…read moreyou're craving a truly traditional Mexican experience, this is the place. It's family-owned, simple, traditional nothing fancy, but the flavor more than makes up for it. On top of that, the family running the place couldn't be more humble and welcoming. I tried a gordita for the first time; a homemade tortilla stuffed to perfection. Everything is made fresh to order, even the tortillas. You can actually see them working their magic behind the counter, mixing the batter, molding, frying, and cooking right there in front of you. We ordered four gorditas; two carnitas and two steak: each one loaded with mozzarella cheese, sliced avocado, crema (their version of sour cream), onions, and cilantro. Oh my God, now I understand why it's called a gordita -- it's packed! For the price, you can't beat it. Two gorditas filled me up, and for about $12 total, it's a steal!!! The quality, freshness, and homemade taste easily surpass most restaurants charging twice the price. We also tried their chilaquiles -- another knockout dish. They use the same homemade tortillas, cut and fried, then topped with their house-made red or green salsa (depending on how much heat you can handle), Mexican cheese, crema, onion, and cilantro, all served over rice and beans with two perfectly fried eggs on top. The green salsa packs more spice, but the red can be blended to your liking. Every bite was pure comfort and flavor. They even make their own chicharrones from scratch and serve authentic Mexican sodas like Coca-Cola in the tall glass bottles; the ones made with real cane sugar, not the syrupy stuff we're used to here. Now, let me be clear -- if you're one of those people who expect your food within five minutes, this isn't your spot. Everything here is made fresh, from scratch, and that takes time. People who truly know and appreciate homemade cooking understand that real food doesn't happen within five minutes. So come in, relax, and let them cook. Let them pamper you with their gift of delicious food. Don't rush them, and don't get impatient, this is a humble family who takes pride in perfection. I guarantee you won't find the same level of flavor, love, and authenticity anywhere else. So far, we've tried two items from the menu, and both were absolute hits. We'll definitely be coming back! Not just because the food is amazing, but because we love supporting humble, hardworking families who pour their heart and culture into every dish they serve. Taqueria El Gordo is a must-try gem for anyone who appreciates true homemade Mexican food made with love. There isn't any other like them here in Lakeland!

    Best burrito I've had in a very long time!…read more I decided to search Yelp today to find a good taco joint. This place showed up and I decided to try it. Don't be scared because of the outside. I admit I sat in my car for a second trying to decide if I really should go in. I gathered my courage and entered. The inside was larger than I thought it would be. There are tables on one side and the kitchen on the other. I chose a steak burrito with everything but onions. It was a very substantial burrito. I easily could have split it with someone and still be full. The tortilla was soft and delicious. All the fillings popped with fresh flavor. There was spice but not too much, just perfect! Why this place didn't have a line out the door is anyone's guess. Seriously!!! I would suggest some music to liven up the dining area, it's seemed too quiet between customers.
