Love the coffee shop and bakery. Everything is so delicious and staff are so nice. Great place to hang out for an afternoon tea or coffee with friends and family.
Simply Magic! You’ve arrived to the best gastronomic experience anywhere in town. I can’t even begin to describe my pure satisfaction on all levels. The service and friendly staff were beyond exceptional. The food is served in massive portions, yet includes fresh, high quality ingredients. The deserts are divine. You could order anything to eat and be satisfied.
There’s a coffee bar, fresh food market filled with specialty jellies, hazelnut spreads, goat milk/cheese, candies, and dozens of other Turkish delights.
I even picked up lunch for the next day in the prepared food area.
Do not miss your opportunity to visit
I had the lamb platter which was amazing. The meat was cooked just right, the Brussel sprouts were tender and tasty and the rice was amazing. I took a raspberry macaroon home to my daughter and she loved it. I felt that the amount of food you got for the price was a good deal. If you are a fan of Mediterranean food you should check them out.
Not only did I enjoy my gyro, the potato salad and Brussels sprouts that came with the beef Wellington are both amazing!
The deserts are mostly pistachio and so very tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful and the grocery area has a variety of yummy delights as well.
Amazing service. Delicious sweet treats and really good coffee. We came here to hang out with family and I think we found a great coffee shop to come back again and again with out family or just to hang out to get a nice cup of coffee. Really appreciated the service we received. All around we were very happy with this place!
Delicious!!!! Really the whole review can be said in that one word! Madison was terrific and answered all my questions and took excellent care of me.
The veggie platter was generous enough for 2+ and had great variety of warm and cold veggies, smooth yummy hummus and lovely zucchini patty!
The pastries were impressive! Hats off to the in house Pastry Chef!
Cute place, clean and very pleasant.
The Market had a variety of Turkish & Mediterranean spices, teas and ingredients- Very Tempting.
If you’re anywhere near Lakeland and looking for a yummy lunch, coffee drink and pastries with a Turkish flair, I definitely recommend this lovely Cafe.
The cold brew with banana pudding cold foam was the perfect balance of flavors. Just a hint of banana pudding flavor but the delicious coffee based still shined through.
I had the chicken kebabs (excellent quality) and the charred Brussel sprouts that came with it are beyond delicious.
I bought a bag of yummy Turkish coffee to go and would love to come back for a pastry next time.
That plus super friendly and efficient service with great smiles made for an excellent lunch!
Came by to check out the Market and try the Turkish Coffee and Baklava. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. My friend tried the Turkish Spice Coffee-not tea or coffee but a mixture of over 30 spices with streamed or iced milk. Found out the baklava is imported from Turkey.
Great food, great service. Wished we would have known about this place sooner. It is a bit pricey. The restaurant is in a store and it is ok, but somewhat underwhelming. It reminded me of an old rental dance hall with the chandeliers and walls and tile flooring. They have food and spices to take home as well as a full dessert case.
Chicken kabobs were great, loved the hummus and carrot slaw that came with it. Gyro was not from the rotisserie, but it was still good and the taziki was tasty. Coffee is delicious, so much so that we ordered a second for each to go!
Some of the best food I’ve ever had. Have lived in Lakeland 6 years and can’t believe I had not been here before. Got the Chicken Kabob and Beef Wellington lunch and both were great. Everything tasted perfect. I’m thinking this will be a new favourite and go to regularly. Absolutely recommend.
If you are a fan of Greek/Mediterranean food and are ever in Lakeland this place is a must! It is truly a hidden gem. First, there’s the regular restaurant that has great Mediterranean food- I get the gyro platter every time because it is just so dang good, the meat is perfect, the rice is sticky, and the brussel sprouts are cooked beautifully. Second, they have the adorable market where you can find a lot of fun foreign foods. It sounds really funny, but I would highly recommend the carrot salad- it is FANTASTIC. Lastly, there is the cafe area where they serve all kinds of coffee and pastries and gelato. It’s decorated so daintily and really enjoyable to sit and just hang out and eat, and their desserts, especially the baklava and tarts are just scrumptious and a perfect way to top everything off. Ugh I love Cafe Zuppina if you’ve never been you gotta give it a try at least once! You won’t regret it!
Delicious food. Fresh and yummy. Service was good too. The brisket platter amazing! The lavender lemon slushee wonderful 👏
The food was average, but the Turkish chai latte was very delicious, the service was excellent. The store was confusing to find. It was rather expensive.
Where do I start? The cute environment, ambience, authentic delicious cuisine and family owned restaurant was an excellent experience. I loved the Grape leaves, the eggplant rolls, Zuppini Delight and of course Spanikopita. I love the service and the ambience of the restaurant. The warm lighting, the cute red chairs and lights and just beautiful cafe.
The deserts are sooo worth waiting for. Too delicious! Loved the baklava, pistachio and the other traditional sweets!!
I celebrated my new job with my friend and a family actually did a random act of kindness and after we prayed and were finishing our meal, the waitress said the family beside us, two Army vets had paid our meal. I will never forget that warmhearted moment and act of kindness.
Excellent little home cooked Turkish restaurant, which in the sea of chain restaurants and chain bars that make up most of Lakeland, except for the center of downtown, it is incredibly refreshing. Delicious, authentic, cozy. It might look a little pricy, but it is worth it and they make you feel taken care of.
