Frescos Bakery and Bistro in downtown Lakeland This was our first visit to the Frescos Bakery and Bistro (visited 05/04/13). We went on a Saturday because we felt we would miss much of the weekday work lunch crowd (and did). Our waitress arrived quickly and after handing us a menu, asked if we wanted water which they bring in a... More

Visited Frescos for late afternoon Sunday brunch. Frescos is a european style restaurant/bakery offering options for sitting inside or out. We arrived around 2:45pm so the live music was just wrapping up as we were being served. I had eggs benedict florentine with hash browns and fruit. I'm pretty picky about my hollandaise sauce and I thought the hollandaise at... More

The prices are good and this place is great for a fast lunch. Went there several times but the food was kind of bland. Overall, it's worth going at least once to check it out

Fresco's brunch and outdoor seats are very enjoyable. They also cater events around the area like Keel and Curry Friday wine downs in Plant City. Their omelets are incredible

I have been there several times. The first time was with my friend and my cousin. The sandwich was delicious but the dessert was even better. Now my excersize group meets there once a month. They have a banquet room that they always put us in and it's set up so elegantly. They are reasonable priced and again, the food... More

Fresco's was my favorite place to go for Breakfast - and for us that is a 45 minute drive. This past Sunday I should have saved us the drive. The service was slow and the food was cold. Our toast was not even passed over the toaster, it was bread right out of the package. And we always used to... More

Stopped for brunch on Sunday, the place was very crowded, sat outside which was really nice. The food rocked, had the cheese steak, sister had the ruben. The service is very slow, took about 30-45 minutes to get our food. Thankfully there was a lot going on to keep us from feeling totally forgotten.

Everyone seems to love Fresco's, and I can only guess that they have had better luck than I have and/or they don't haven't been out of Lakeland much. For what it is, it is really great for the town. My visit was marred by extremely slow service, and it was not even crowded on a late Sunday brunch service. It... More
