Today, we went to Starbucks, hoping for refreshing drinks and good service. We ordered four drinks…read moreat the same time on my registered Starbucks card. After, ordering I used the restroom and it was filthy. The toilet was dirty, the mirror and sink were not clean. My brothers were waiting for our drinks. My brother brought over my Mom's drink and my drink to the table. We drank our drinks, then 36 minutes later, after asking three times and wondering where there drinks were they were served the rest of our drinks with no apologies. By the time, they came to the table, they were too tired from standing and waiting to stay there any longer. So we left, frustrated and upset. I don't like giving a two star, but this was unacceptable.

The food is what really stands out. They have such unique flavor combinations that you don't find at your average coffee shop. I ordered the jalapeño popper sausage biscuit, and it was incredible. The sauce and pickled red onions took it to the next level and made every bite so flavorful. The coffee is solid, and the café is in a great downtown location that's perfect for starting your morning or taking a break while exploring the area. If you're looking for a one-stop shop for both breakfast and coffee, look no further. We absolutely love this place and will keep coming back whenever we're in town.

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.

This place is absolutely delicious. The only reason I struggled to give it five stars is because of…read morethe parking situation, which is awful. If you can find a way to get here though you absolutely should. I've been here a couple times and had people bring me things from here and I'm always very happy. My favorite thing I ever had here was a chocolate peanut butter pie, which was mind blowingly good. However, everything I've had from here has been pretty spectacular. I highly recommend the cookies here. I really love cookies, but their brown butter cookie is incredible. The pastries are really good too. I really enjoy the glazed croissant and I recently had a lemon twist that was very good. Finally, the sandwiches that I've had from here are both really good as well. I've only had the breakfast sandwiches, but I enjoyed the hot honey sausage biscuit and the bacon breakfast sandwich. 5 stars.

We stopped by for lunch on our way across the state. We ordered two sandwiches and a chocolate…read morecruffin (croissant made into a muffin shape). We weren't sure we should eat in our car or the bake shop, but are very glad we decided to eat in the shop. The sandwiches were the most messy sandwiches we have ever eaten. There was so much mayonnaise tasting sauce. The crust was too hard to eat, but the bread itself was great. The sandwiches aren't cut, which made eating even more difficult as it was near impossible to bite through the crust. We ended up with a pile of soup/sauce on the napkins we had to put on the table under where we were eating. No plates are available. If I ordered a sandwich again, I would ask for minimal or no sauce. The cruffin was great, but again, very messy to eat. Ordering is at the counter (or online) and when the screen is flipped around, the screen shows a suggested tip over 20%. This is before even receiving your food. I couldn't find the no tip option and chose the lowest amount which was 15% or more. My total was over $40. If I stopped by again, I may buy a loaf to go and a chocolate croissant (to enjoy at home).

I have to find one like it in my area. Luckily, it's also a coffee shop so I usually get a coffee as well. If you've never been here, they're located in downtown Lakeland. Now on this particular visit wasn't too busy and I was able to order and get everything right away. The lady working the front was so sweet when I told her how much I love the carrot cake she got me a fresh slice of a new cake and it was so good!! The carrot cake by itself would be perfect but velvety cream cheese icing on top really brings it together. No on this visit I did get a nice latte as well. That was a little dark when it first came out, and she could tell by the look on my face that something wasn't right and she fixed it right away lol. I wish Mitchells was closer but it's definitely worth the drive.

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.
