Born & Bread Bakehouse

This is the spot to enjoy brunch, a bakery item or just a cafe treat. All items are made with quality and presentation showed throughout. Me and my wife each got a different biscuit sandwich with her trying the baked almond croissant. It was my first time and I chose the hot glazed croissant with iced coffee. The butter on the side is a great addition also. There is usually a line yet you will not feel disappointed for the patience. Take the trip and catch them before their stock goes low. Enjoy brothers and sisters!

Bustling bakery with a wide variety of pastries and bagel sandwiches. At 9am on Saturday morning, the establishment felt it was at maximum capacity, which is probably a strong indicator of its popularity. After trying 5 different items, it's safe to say, this is an excellent bakery.

I got the southern dog and a broccolini biscuit. The price for these two items was about $19. The food was good, but it's a very expensive hot dog for its size. The broccolini biscuit was good, no complaints. This restaurant really does make good biscuits, pricey or not.

Came to this bakery once and it was good but you can tell the cater to a certain group of people. I went at 12:15. It said they closed at 2 and they still had stuff when I called and was 8 minutes away. I get there store is packed and they said they was closed. Then I went the day before they was fully of crossings I was told they was sold out the white last behind me asked for the same thing and they gave it to her. If they don’t want certain people business I have no problem not giving it to them

I had such a great time there today! I loved everything and can’t wait to go back, even though it's an hour away. The Benton's Bacon Sandwich was absolutely my favorite!

At long last, I graced the halls of Born & Bread Bakehouse in Lakeland, Florida—a spot so legendary in local lore, I half-expected it to be guarded by cinnamon roll-slinging centaurs and croissant-wielding knights. Let me set the scene: you walk in and the scent alone could knock a grown man to his knees. It’s like stepping into a warm gluten hug. The air is thick with the seductive perfume of caramelized dreams and melted butter. One whiff, and I was ready to leave my job, my family, and possibly my cholesterol meds behind. The display case? A divine dream. Rows of pastries gleam like golden idols, whispering sweet nothings: “Pick me,” “No, me,” “I’m filled with cheese!” Their menu rotates with genius—one moment you’re eyeing a peanut croissant, the next, a Danish that looks like it just graduated from Juilliard. Choosing was like trying to pick a favorite child… if your children were flaky, gooey, and stuffed with ooey gooey goodness. The Bites: • The sausage and egg biscuit was a breakfast sandwich so buttery it could slide straight into your DMs. Layers of flaky biscuit cradling a juicy sausage patty with the love of Southern hospitality. • The ham and egg bagel sandwich? Let’s just say if brunch were a religion, this would be its Pope. • Then came the apple fritter croissant: Pastry perfection—crisp, layered, sticky, and somehow juicy? I don’t know how they made fruit sensual, but they did. • And the coffee cake cheese Danish twist? That was less of a pastry and more of a full-body spiritual event. I saw God. She was holding a rolling pin. Even their branding is delicious—cheeky bags, crisp boxes, and murals that scream, “Yes, you are about to commit carb-based sin, and it’s worth it.” In conclusion, Born & Bread isn’t just a bakery. It’s a cathedral of carbs. A temple to taste. A sugar-dusted dream where every bite makes your tongue do backflips and slap your brain awake like, “HEY. PAY ATTENTION. THIS IS HAPPENING.” 10/10. Highly recommend. Bring napkins.

Stopped by for the first time yesterday. Love the decor and atmosphere, even though the line was out the door the staff was still very friendly and helpful explaining what things were, which we appreciated. And it’s the little things but they compliment something about you when calling out your order. I liked that the outdoor patio was dog friendly/nice area. We ordered the Cinnamon rolls, Hot cocoa Cruffin, Ham and cheese croissants, Quesito with the honey almonds. All of them were delicious!

Delicious 10/10. Worth a drive or any wait for this level of goodness. Can’t say enough wonderful things about this experience all the way around. The pastries were all equally amazing. Being a pescatarian, I ordered the BLT T with the bacon on the side to share and it is by far the BEST sandwich I have ever had anywhere. The regular BLT T with the bacon was equally enjoyed by others. The establishment is so well put together. The owner, manager, and staff were so efficient and so kind! Kay was such a treat for everyone. We watched customer after customer receive the best treatment without being rushed. Loved everything about this visit and the food! It was recommended to us by hospital staff and we made sure to bless them with the pastries in return.

Sooooo, I've been wanting to go to this bakery for ages now but never make it in time...until now... Wow!!!! I'm at a loss of words. I'm secretly eating my chocolate chip cookie I got to-go for when my kids went to bed. I'm pretty sure all moms are nodding their heads now...been there, done that! This cookie was phenomenal! So chewy on the inside and crunchy on the edges. This was $4 well spent! As for the other food we ordered (croissant, biscuit egg broccolini sandwich, granola, hot dog deliciousness), it was excellent too! I couldn't take pictures of the other food because...well...I had hangry children, so you will just have to take my word for it. Everything was amazing! The line was long, but it went fast. We were too late for the sold-out cruffins, but we will most definitely be coming back! P.S. If you have toddlers/younger kids and need a place to burn off the carbo load, head to Common Ground Park. It's a great park and a perfect place to let the kids run around before your commute back home!

I wandered past here when I was on a walk. I was hit by the wonderful smells when I opened the door. I was one of the 1st customers, but the business quickly picked up from there. Everything looked tasty! It is great getting to see the food displayed with the product name. I can tell if I want it or not by seeing it. I ordered the broccolini biscuit. I am a sucker for biscuits, and eggs and veggies are always a winning combo. This biscuit did not disappoint. The service was great and sealed with a compliment about my smile:) I would love to try some of the pastries as well. Maybe when I visit the area again I can add this to the agenda.

This bakery has some amazing food. We've only been a couple times and it's usually pretty busy, today was actually a pretty chill day since the line only had one group of customers in front of us. I ordered the peanut butter cold brew and it tasted strong of peanut butter. I love it. I also ordered the almond croissant which is just fantastic, I've gotten it every time. I forgot to take pictures of the other stuff we got but it was also delicious. The sausage biscuit, baklava cheesecake bostock, and the hot cocoa cruffin. The almond croissant is my favorite, along side the cinnamon roll they have. Only issue is it took 30 minutes to get our items, which it feels like shouldn't take more than 5 minutes for any order when all the pastries are already done and directly behind the cashier. Should just be able to pluck them off the racks and hand them to you. 30 minutes was a bit over the top. Otherwise it would be 5stars.

First time here and was very pleased. Everyone was very nice. Everything was delicious. Breakfast sandwiches were fantastic. Definitely will be back

Quite possibly the best gluten free cookie I've ever had My husband had a breakfast sandwich that he said was 11/10. I appreciate that they have a gluten free cookie, but sadly, we had to go somewhere else because there wasn't much I could eat for breakfast. They have gluten free granola as a take home option, but don't have yogurt, etc to eat it there. All of the pastries are beautiful. The environment is hip and comfortable. The staff are super friendly and fun. I think they are totally rocking it as a bakery and I would absolutely return for a sweet treat.

Every time we go here it's always a hit! If you go on a weekend, be sure to preorder the night before so you can go straight to the pickup line. Wednesdays aren't bad at all and you'll wait in line maybe 5-10 minutes tops. The vegan peanut butter coffee is the BEST! Also highly recommend the cinnamon roll, breakfast sandwiches, and pretty much every single bakery item they offer. The decor is adorable and I love that they have indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend!

I saw this place online and decided I needed to make the drive from Orlando to try it out! A friend and I came on a Thursday to avoid the weekend crazy and got there around 11:30. I was worried about parking and seating but we lucked out with both. When we got inside there was only had one other person in front of us. The line did grow to the door while we were there but they move through it quickly and everyone seemed to be able to sit that wanted to. There is additional seating outside as well as ample parking in the rear. For sandwiches we tried the Turkey Swiss and the chicken salad. Both were delicious and of ample size. My only complaint is they didn't cut the sandwiches in half which is an issue when you want to share or even eat it yourself as it is a large sandwich! The turkey also had a herb mayo on it that was very garden fresh. I wasn't sure I liked it but it grew on me. We also tried the peanut butter ice coffee and the Vietnamese iced coffee. Both were very good and the PB one wasn't as strange as I thought it would be. However the Vietnamese one was the true stand out. We got cruffins (Vietnamese coffee and Boston cream) as well as cookies to go. The Boston cream one was good and flaky but the cream had an odd taste to it that I can't place. The cookies were very cake like (puffy) but had good flavor. Would I drive over an hour to go again? I'm honestly not sure but if I was in the area I would absolutely stop again.

I stopped by here on the way back from Tampa and wow this place did not disappoint. It's been a couple of weeks and I still think about born and bread occasionally lol! I absolutely loved their banana bread muffin and it was vegan; it was so fluffy and moist and filled with cream on the inside which was delicious and just complimented the muffin so well! I also ordered the sausage + hot honey breakfast biscuit, which was also pretty good; my only complaint was that it was a bit on the oily side and more sweet and less hot than I imagined. I paired this with the peanut butter latte, which for someone who loves peanut butter, I did not like it at all! I've never had a PB latte, but I also don't think I did well in pairing it with other sweet items. Overall, the staff here is so kind. The wait for our food was a bit long but this place gets some good foot traffic. I love the southern rustic aesthetic it has. All the pastries are out for display which makes it tempting to not want to get everything, but everything looks so fresh and delicious. Will definitely make my way back to this cute and yummy place whenever I'm close by!

Speechless is what I am. I have never in my life tasted pie that was so good. Our family ordered a pumpkin pie from here on Thanksgiving and we were beyond impressed. We had to go back and get more! Decided to also try the key lime pie which was also delicious. This pumpkin pie here is officially my favorite dessert and I'm shocked to say this because I've have not been huge on pies before. The service and ambiance here were also lovely. It feels like you're in a nice cozy place that's so warm and inviting.

In Lakeland, about an hour from Tampa or Orlando, this place gets rave reviews: - Open Wednesday to Saturday, 7 am to 2 pm (till 1 pm Saturdays). - Plan for about a 20-minute wait in line, but you can order online. - Menu changes daily, with seasonal goodies. They sell out fast, so order a day ahead--I missed their strawberry croissant at 11 am. - Must-tries are their croissant and cruffin. The glazed croissant was sooo good. The cruffin was crispy outside and soft inside. - Tried the Morning Vietnam cold brew, not too sweet. - Lots of parking in the rear - On Saturdays, a quick 5-minute drive takes you to Lakeland Downtown Farmers Curb Market, 8 am to 2 pm. Lots of parking, handmade stuff, fresh produce, deli treats. Cool shops like Scout & Tag.

During my second time visiting Lakeland I reviewed some Yelp places and heard of this place. The owner used to work with the famous Zak the Baker in Miami. It is close to Downtown Lakeland and went on a Saturday. They close at 1 pm on weekend and on weekdays at 2 pm. Closed Sunday-Tuesday. Their menu is delicious. From croissants, breakfast sandwiches to butters and jellies. I ordered the peanut butter iced coffee with oatmeal. The employee told me it was good and it really was. The flavor spectacular. I shared with my daughter the Benton's Bacon Breakfast Sandwich. It had the most fabulous flavor. It had cheese, bacon and arugula on sourdough. Definitely a place to go visit. They sell whole loafs, croissant glazed and would Love to try their Chive biscuit. It's a cute place to meet someone for coffee and a place to spend a Saturday morning.

This is beyond perfection! Everything was divine, every pastry is made with so much love, so much flavor. Nothing was overly sweet but everything hits the spot. We got a few breakfast sandwiches and a few pastries. You can't go wrong with what you pick, I know they have seasonal pastries so make sure to get what you like because it might not be on the menu the next time around. The service was great, easy to place an order. We went during the week to avoid all the long lines and wait. There's allot of table indoors and out doors, you should do yourself a favor and try everything at this establishment. I cannot wait to return.

Now, that's a good pastry! I finally made the drive to here after hearing about this bakery opening up in Lakeland. I tried two different pastries -- both with different flavors that were so delicious. I had the double chocolate raspberry croissant and bahama mama cruffin. One was chocolately and the other very tropical! I would definitely come down here again as I love how they rotate different pastries through their menu. The loaves of bread -- by the way -- are massive here! I highly recommend pre-ordering from their website as the lines can sometimes be long and the items can run out. The bakery itself is very nice and clean, and has a good amount of indoor seating.

While it's been 9 years since my first review, the rating is the same. The food items are delicious and innovative, both sweet and savory. Not a bad item in the house. Was glad when she moved to a brick & mortar and expanded her days of availability. However, location, location, location. Parking is a 0 on a 10 scale. Dirt lot in the alley or illegally parking at some local businesses. Long walk around or down a trashy or storage-used ramp in back. Place is dark, like a dungeon. Even pre-orders have to wait--they can butt the line but their orders aren't ready & waiting. Those whose order requires NO cooking, no beverage making, could simply be put in a bag and out the door; yet they must wait for orders in front of them that do require prep. Pretty shameful with 10 employees that one can't bag these immediately to go but nope, they get to hang by the bathroom for 20 minutes. Thus it's still a rare treat to go here. The parking and the immediate service for no prep foods could increase profits. She's also the most expensive for her food products compared to the other croissant folks in the county. I get baked goods 2x/wk. I go to B&B for them 2x/year. Pity.

Before coming to Lakeland I researched the best places to eat. yelp and TikTok truly hit the nail on the head with this one!!!! EVERYTHING about this bakery was phenomenal! Parking was easily accessible. I preordered based upon recommendations off line. We ordered enough pastries for the weekend. Everything was amazing. We got coffee and I chose the peanut butter coffee, which was absolutely delicious but different pastries were absolutely delicious. Guava and cheese wants the perfect ratio of cheese and guava. I think my favorite was the hot honey pepperoni and a tropical pastry that had coconut pineapple and passionfruit flavors. Hands-down, I will totally come back over and over again and the locals are so right the best pastry shop I've ever been to.

Man, this place makes me want to move to Lakeland just to have this place more accessible. The idea that they're so good they only have to be open on Wed and Sat for half days is giving main character vibes. Let me tell you, it is well deserved, I will gladly wait here for 45 min and say thank you for the opportunity lol. The menu is seasonal but I got the Cuban Frita $5.75, Dark chocolate sea salt cronut $4.75 and the Olive loaf $7. If they're on the menu, don't hesitate, run. But honestly you could do no wrong with anything you pick :)

I came here it's my son my daughter my sister and her son as well. We preordered our food and it was great. We ordered a few muffins. A couple of sweet pastries and I ordered three savory pastries for me and my kids. They tried the ham and cheese croissants and I had a kale and squash type of pastry. The only thing I wished that was different was that they would have heated our croissants and the savory pastries. Other than that I feel like the taste was great. The crunch on the croissants and the bread was amazing. And the vibes were on point.

Very busy spot! If you're looking for fresh baked goods in the morning, this is the spot! Just make sure you are up early! The line was almost out the door. But, trust me, it was worth it! I had a glazed croissant and my son had a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was huge! The croissant was to die for. I ordered an almond croissant to take home. I wish I had ordered more because the next day when I had it with coffee, I wanted another one! They are a local business! Please support! You will not regret it!

Always great service, calming quaint vibe, and the best gluten free chocolate chip cookies ever !

Born and Bread is incredible!! It's only open Wednesdays and Saturdays. We've visited twice once back in 2020..ish and again recently. When we first visited they were only doing online orders, which went very smoothly. Last Saturday, we just decided to stop in this time, and did wait a good hour. Pro top, you can pre-order the day before and skip the line. They rotate new items and they had a lot of fall stuff but I was unfortunately too late, all sold out by the time I ordered. :( We ordered the olive loaf, $7. I feel like it's an absolute must if you like olives and sour dough! For sweets, we got the bourbon banana chocolate croissant (my favorite, I had to order it a second time and I typically don't like to order the same thing), the salted sea salt cruffin and the Cuban Frito. Yes, you NEED to visit Born and Bread if you haven't already! It's a nice day trip and there are plenty of fun parks or things to explore in Lakeland!

Cute and very busy bakery. This place is popular. Stopped here on a road trip and got a few pastries. My glazed croissant was decadent and definitely not meant for the road lol. Nice service and a nice stop. Decor is Americana, very Americana.

Pre ordered some cruffins (not pictured) and a chocolate pie for Christmas. It was delicious although I'm not sure 10000%% worth all the mega hype and $$$.

Never again, drove from Orlando. Checked the sign outside, said everything was available and waited in line 20 minutes come to find out basically nothing was available and they only care about pre-orders. Before CoVid they actually cared about their walk in customers and kept the sign updated. Clearly all they care about now are preorders. I even went and old the guy at the register and still no one could go update the sign. They just kept misleading customers. Will never be back. Such a disappointing establishment.

For the past year and a half, every Wednesday has been my treat day, and Born to Bread is where I go for something special. I indulge in a sandwich, a croissant, and sometimes the best chocolate chip cookie on earth. Walking into this gem feels like stepping into a bakery in London or Paris-a little escape to two of my favorite cities in the world. Born to Bread is an incredible family-owned bakery, and there's truly nothing like it in Central Florida. The dedication and love the owner and her team pour into each pastry and sandwich are unmatched. Every bite is remarkable, and the quality is evident in everything they make. If you live in Lakeland, this place is a must for your weekly routine. And if you're in Central Florida, it's absolutely worth the drive. Don't miss out on this amazing experience!

Went on a recommendation from a friend on my way to pick up son from college for the summer. I live nowhere near here so cannot return regularly. I ordered and paid online the day before pickup. Cookies were the best. Cinnamon rolls sublime. Cruffins were great flavors but very tough and chewy. ( I guess I expected croissant airiness). My son loved the breakfast sammies. Although kind of pricy, it was bustling and busy. I still had to wait 15ish minutes past my order time, but it was all good. I do not understand why preorder with a time, if you still have to wait. I would return if I lived in the area. It was a 30 minute diversion en route to my son's school, so I may not return regularly on my trips to his school. Parking stinks(filled behind the store) All in all, it was tasty. 5 stars.

Just had their tuna melt. I'm obsessed! So good! I got a rookie too, omg!I've never had a bad meal or tasty delight. The service was friendly and precise. I love the Bakehouse look with its vintage flair. Quality is the name of their game. No wonder they e been open for 10 years.

Out of this world pastries and breakfast sandwiches, the coffee was also a 10/10. So far, my fav spot in Lakeland with cute decor and great service.

Tasty chicken salad sandwich on croissant Tasty corned beef sandwich Tasty chocolate and almond croissants

Pastries are all cold, tables are dirty and horrible efficiency of the line. First and last time visiting this place. Never again!

For the location and town, I must say these were surprisingly great pastries in a random town like Lakeland. We ordered two cruffins, the cinnamon roll, and the Almond Croissant. Flavor and bake on all items was great! Croissant wasn't too too buttery but the flakiness was on point. Almond filling was done well and not overly almondy. Cruffins had a good flavor note and overall the cinnamon roll was fluffy. Slightly too sweet but very American in the palette. Overall you won't find a better bakery in Central Florida, including Orlando. Highly recommended. Just be patient; they're running and gunning in orders and have a lot to do, so at least 10 mins after you order you'll get your pastries. Nice Bakehouse type vibe where you can see all the bakers in action. 5/5.

oh my god that garlic loaf.... so so so delightful... this place rocks!!! it's definitely crowded on the weekend but with good reason. wow

I came for the fresh sourdough bread...unfortunately they only catered to restaurants owners today on Wednesday...so mad But the place was very nice & the pastries were outstanding. FYI.... it's Lisa with the stripe shirt!

The best selection of all kinds of bakery goods. They are showcased in the store and are always changing. Tried their tuna melt for lunch it was really good.

Considering going to Born & Bread? Good! It's decent! BUT... you should consider some things. First- if you REALLY want a good experience there, you should go online and pre order. Visit their website and figure out how to do that. I DID NOT- and my review is based on my walk-up walk-in experience. First of all- your map will probably get you to enter from the back. You will wonder, 'is this really the place?' Because it looks raggedy and run-down. You may wait in a line, like I did, only to fin, after 15 minutes, that line was for the pre order pick up's. But there would be no way for you to know that. We then waited in the REAL line inside the EXTREMELY cramped inside counter section. To our dismay, at 10:20 AM, there were only three or four items left to select. The racks full of the [more delicious] other options are for the WISE people that pre-ordered, not for you! (). We did order at the counter- and then we had too wait 45 minutes for our four pastries and two iced coffees. We literally watched them pick the items we ordered and put them on a tray- but we still had to wait 45 minutes to receive them. And the waiting happens in an environment that is shoulder to shoulder, like being on a crowded city bus. As we ordered, we were surprised to see the attendants do not use gloves or masks at all. Not even tongs. The girl hand picked up our items, and put them on a tray. Then she wiped her hands off on her hips. Yup. Yeah. That is not it for me. The pastries themselves finally arrived- and the pistachio raspberry croissant was okay- but it had become so dried out that it no longer tasted fresh - and it hadn't been warmed in the 45 minutes of waiting... so it was cold and almost stale. The Babka was good- but doughey- not flakey. The croissants were doughey, not flaky. The guava pastel was also doughey - not flakey. The quality of these pastries did not merit the extremely long wait, the dishevelment of the counter experience, the non-flushing gross toilet, the cramped quarters, etc. The pastries were DECENT - but did not live up to the five-star yelp hype, so i am giving two stars to balance out the help-scales while also being honest and accurate.

The menu has a lot to offer, but i went with The Benton's Bacon Breakfast Sandwich, which was SO delicious!! I look forward to returning when i visit Lakeland again!

Parking was a bit hard to find. Place looks unique and trendy. Not a lot of room inside. They have both tables and booths. Seating out back too. They put most of the available food up at the counter display so you can see it. Dont get set on something unless you order ahead or get there early as they run out. The food is unique and we very much enjoyed it so well be back.

I have to be honest. I was slightly disappointed. The items we purchased did not come across as very fresh, they weee actually very dry. I appreciate that they were busy, however the means in which they take orders and distribute their goods seemed like a cluster. I was really hoping to love Born & Bread Bakehouse. I will give them another try in the future just to see if it was an off day for them.

Highway robbery ... $5 for a croissant.. $2.50 for the a small Blk coffee ... no table service and the famous tablet asking for tip... tables are too close to each other . People can barely walk.. there's also some service issues and wait time that makes no sense . Parking is complicated... on a good note the croissant was perfection .

Everything was perfect, I ordered ham & cheese croissant and the almond croissant. I hope they could open more days and hours...

Holy cow. I'm never been more grateful to find a spot. When you walk in the door, the smell of the bakery is the best way to start your day. They have homemade pastries (that you can watch them make) which melt on your mouth. There's ample seating, a parking lot next door, and they even have hot coffee or cold brew. Old American flags drape the walls (when was the last time you saw that?!) and the staff is very friendly. I'd come here a million times again.

I recently tried the almond croissants from several well-established bakeries in the Tampa Bay Area (State Flour, Sucré Table, and Jamison B. DoughJoe), and without a doubt, Born & Bread's almond croissant is the best! Their pastries are heavenly, the staff is fantastic, and the atmosphere is incredible! I don't mind driving an hour each way from Tampa; trust me, the drive is worth it. They've earned my loyalty.

Best bakery in Florida. I drive 60 miles one way because they are that good. They were a referral from a bakery in McKinney TX

Visited here today with my son. Friendly staff, easy to find and no long line. What we ordered was DELICIOUS. Wished they were warmed but it was OK. Still fresh and delicious. Flaky croissant.

Delicious bakeries,. From behind build not easy to spot location. Should put sign on it also hard to tell it's open for business. But every things are good. I liked sour dough bread as well as croissants, cookies even coffee was great. I had a breakfast sandwich it was delicious.

Preorder if you want something specific... We came at noon on a weekday and had limited selections. However - the selections we did have were absolutely phenomenal. Couldn't even be mad they didn't have the one we came for because the others were so delicious. Do yourself a big favor, go call and preorder one of the specials and then go in and get another random choice. Not from the area, but would go back if so!

I forgot to take pictures of all the food before the kids (and myself) tore into it. We visited with our family - my husband, myself and our two girls and his sister, her husband and two boys and his mom. So we had 9 people. We sat at one of the long tables and waited for our food. Unfortunately we got there later and forgot to order online so the options were limited. I thought they were open for dinner but they switched the Wednesday lunch. I was disappointed that my favorite stuff was gone already. The girls tried the peanut butter and jelly toast and didn't like it. The sourdough was cut too thick for them and they didn't like the crunchy peanut butter. They prefer smooth/creamy. Overall the food was still good, but we will definitely check before we go and order online before! I didn't know we would be in the area since my husband kept saying he might have to go to work (we live in TN and were just visiting family) and drive back that day so that's why I didn't order any. Next time I will just order some of our favorite things anyway ha!

Whatever good stuff you've heard about this place, believe it. Definitely order ahead on the app on a Friday night and pick it up Saturday morning. The vibes inside are immaculate and the staff is so nice. It definitely gets crowded but it ebs and flows. My absolute favorite is the goat cheese and sun-dried tomato criosstata & it's to die for. The horchata coffee is absolutely delicious as well. I just tried the vegan peanut butter iced coffee, which is also great but you can taste a little bit of the powdered PB. This place is the reason why i go to Lakeland. I wish they had one in Tampa!

Didn't live up to the hype. The place doesn't have an area for the massive line to form....so it weaves its way through the small area so if you're fortunate enough to have gotten a table....you'll have arms touching you and people 2 inches away your entire meal. They don't give any sort of plate, tray etc so if you attempt to cut a cruffin in half.....expect the table to be full of crumbs. The food was ok.....tasted a day old. Not very soft. We tried 3 different cruffins ams felt the texture was hard. Not enough filling on the pumpkin one. The pumpkin cheesecake was excellent. There was no menu once you finally made it to the front counter.....so unable to order all items as not everything is displayed. Definately overrated and not worth the hassle for a $5 day-old pastry.

My family and I LOVE this place! We visited a few times while we were in Lakeland for vacation. From their sourdough bread to their muffins...everything they make is delicious! Highly recommend them! Great customer service. Love the order ahead option. And their space is very welcoming! Check them out if you're in the Lakeland area. Wish they would open one in the Nashville, TN area!
