Delicious food!
The best place for dessert and coffee. Miss the vegan chocolate cake! Staff is always super kind and accomodating! Calm, quiet, clean atmosphere.
Pricey but good
The staff was gracious and very polite. The soup, meals and dessert was quite delicious. Looking forward to going back again.
Loved the decor, nice staff and delicious desserts and coffee.
Coffee and tea options were fantastic. Vibe and decor were eclectic and appealing. The sweets were not good at all but hoping that it was due to the holiday & having them sit too long.
If you didn’t know you needed a wonderfully exquisite Mediterranean market/ cafe in your life, here’s your sign! You will find exactly this at the Cafe Zuppina in Lakeland. It’s all in the same little area but two distinct parts- the actual restaurant, “Cafe Zuppina”, is located to the right when you are facing the buildings. Then, the “Market at Cafe Zuppina” is the longer building to the left (its 2 rooms). The Market is just a charmer. There is an actual market section, where you can find fun foreign candies, jams, dips, drinks, and even some pre made take home for later Mediterranean food. Then walk into the interconnected next room, and you will find another world of more goodies. Gelato, coffee, pastries and baklava galore! There are many fun things to choose from. One of my personal favorites is the chocolate baklava. They should call it choclava instead, I think. Also, most every season they create some sort of special short-term flavored cold brew coffee. During the most recent holidays they had an eggnog cream cold brew, and it was one of the best cold brews I’ve had to date. I was totally taken aback by how good it was, especially since I didn’t really expect it. So what I’m saying is, keep an eye on their cold brew specials and definitely give those a try! The market is awesome for a quick stop or a nice place to hang out- in their adorable leather chairs or out in the middle courtyard!
Great food and good drinks. Nice pastrys and treats as well.
Overpriced and nothing special.
Awesome food, desserts, and coffee served by super-friendly people in a neat atmosphere. On the food side, I recommend any soups - they are all some of the best soups I have ever had. Also, the vegetable platter is heavenly - seriously one of the best dishes I have ever eaten, hands down. The desserts are made in house and are amazing - there are selections of pastries, baklava, and cake daily. I've tried most of them and they are all great. The coffee and tea drinks are delicious and are a perfect complement to the desserts. There is a Turkish market connected to the cafe that has lots of interesting foods that you wont find anywhere else. Check out the Market - you'll be glad you did.
Fist time here it's really a Hidden Gem !! Loved the Cappuccino
Sooooo good. I ate lunch there and bought food for dinner.
Triangle Squares are the best!
Today was my first experience at this beautiful place. I was plesantly surprised. The food was on an entire different level. The staff was amazing as was the atmosphere. But the food was soo fresh and beautiful to look at, I wasn't expecting a meal on this level at all. Good yea great hopefully. This place was Outstanding. I was soo impressed that I've been making plans to go back.. Talent and Quality beyond... Wow.
My absolute favorite place to eat in Lakeland. The restaurant has always had amazing food. The owners are so friendly, so caring, and so talented when it comes to making food. The marketplace has super friendly staff. Always has some good stuff to eat including desserts and to go items from the menu. I will always recommend this place.
Excellent coffee
Those desserts... YAAAASSSSSS!!!!
Excellent desserts, coffee, tea, and international foods. Great place to grab a bite to eat.
Amazing!! The Gelato is out of this world and decor is so gorgeous. Wish I'd come here sooner
This marks my second time coming here and I can confidently say that I will be a regular!! My favourite drink is the cold brew float and affogato drinks, always with at least one scoop of their fig marscapone gelato! It is such a well made treat and is always paired wonderfully by their great customer service :) My partner and I love their baclava, and I am so glad it is made with pistachio since most baclava in stores is made with walnuts (I am unfortunately very allergic to walnuts so I have rarely been able to enjoy the finer things in life until now!!). The staff are incredibly down to earth and thankfully know a great deal of what they serve so that any questions I have are answered on the spot! I love the atmosphere even during covid-19, and hope to try more of their unique drinks in the future!!
