Hillcrest Coffee - Lakeland

I devoured this snack, best iced coffee I have had in a while. I try all the local coffee places where ever I am and this is def top 3. The aesthetic here is great and comfy and the service is top notch.

This is the best Cappuccino I?ve tasted anywhere even better then cappuccinos I?ve tasted in Paris. These guys really know how to make amazing cappuccinos with coconut, almond or oat milk.

I stumbled upon this hidden gem, and I'm so glad I did! The quaint charm of the small town, the warm and welcoming staff, and the delightful coffee and pastries make it a perfect spot. These three elements are what every coffee shop should offer, and this place excels at all of them. I will definitely be back soon!

The owner and staff are both friendly and well-informed. They can whip up almost any type of coffee drink you desire, as long as they have the ingredients on hand. It's easy to become a regular here thanks to the inviting atmosphere. However, one downside is the limited parking, and their opening hours could be earlier in the morning. Nonetheless, if you have some free time during the day or follow a non-traditional work schedule, this café is a fantastic spot to relax and pass the time.

The prices here are incredibly reasonable, making it feel more like the 2000s than 2022! A latte costs just $3.65, whereas a nearby place charges between $5.50 and $6.25—what a difference! The atmosphere is much nicer here, and the staff members are so polite. At one point, I thought I might end up in a comical standoff with a barista over who would go first in the hallway, but he was very courteous, even with his hands full! I had a delicious honey cinnamon latte, and my husband ordered coffee. All the coffee is made from beans sourced from local roasters like Ethos, Buddy Brew, and Patriot, priced at $1.10 an ounce. I've tried them all, and they really get your heart racing—in a good way!
