Agape Agora

So, I saw online this establishment closed at 9 pm on Saturdays. We were meeting my parents here since we were "only" 1.5 away from them compared to the normal 4.5-5 hours. Despite the closing time issue the woman who was working took care of our party of 5 masterfully all things considered. You'll need to eat outside as seating inside is minimal if there's any at all. I still enjoyed the alleyway-like seating on a balmy central Florida evening. Since there was only one person working and it was so close to closing time I helped bring out the food as it was ready. Everything was very tasty and fresh. I tried the chicken salad on the croissant and the ginger turmeric chicken soup with noodles. I really enjoyed it. My husband had the tuna sandwich and a bowl of the tomato basil. I didn't try the tuna sandwich but he inhaled it. I did taste the tomato basil soup and it was amazing! My mom had a salad which was presented lovely and she cleared her plate. Both my parents had the cream of mushroom soup. My mom remarked that she thought it would be more creamy than what it was. My toddler had the margarita flatbread sans tomato and balsamic glaze and he took a few bites and said it "good." Much to my surprise. For the time we had and the circumstances, it was a lovely visit, as I really wanted to support a minority-owned establishment in the area.

It's very quaint so better for a two top inside and a large group outside but the food is fantastic and fresh. Definitely would recommend and I will definitely go back chicken soup with rice and the chicken salad on that amazing bread. 10/10

Delicious super healthy food made with LOVE! We brought a friend who was visiting today and we both had the med salad with chicken salad on top with house dressing, YUM! My husband had the chicken salad on croissant and he inhaled it!

Disappointed as they appear to be closed with no presence. Tried calling but no answer.

This little hidden gem was absolutely amazing. The staff was super friendly. The atmosphere is wonderful. The soups are amazing. Don't forget to check out the charcuterie boards or the rice bowls. Oh my gosh they're wonderful.

Holy moly- I feel SO bad that we waited so long to indulge this unbelievable culinary experience. This may be the best lunch you have in polk county; forget about nineteen61 (which i love), the pot roast sandwich and cream of mushroom soup are to die for! Agape has a relationship with Obscure wine, and you are conveniently able to bring a bottle from obscure wine to Agape without a corkage fee.Once a month or so, they offer a pintxo dining experience- when I participate in the next one, I will update this review. EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH!!!

Friendly staff, delicious food, lovely little place! It was our first visit and it won't be our last. Their suggestions were spot on. We enjoyed tuna salad, cream of mushroom soup, and the pot roast sandwich.

Agape Agora recently opened Sundays and I went to check it out. They print a new menu daily on their FB page. I'd describe it as simple fare, clean eating, healthy. Small place with tables for 2 inside. I chose soup & half sandwich and found both excellent. Grapes in the chicken salad to make it sweet, nice chicken and rice soup, served hot. Food is made while you wait. Even tho I was the sole customer it took surprisingly long (fine, wasn't in a hurry). Prices are on the high side and I didn't know what my special was going to cost me. They had food gift type items--some very reasonably priced. I got a sample champagne mustard for $2 and an organic worstershire for $4. Other things were higher priced than I wanted to pay. They advertise organic groceries available but there was only one item in the case. Other items were very low stock. I think they've been open 9 months. They don't have a big social media presence, they weren't "well stocked", they have a hard to pronounce name, employees seemed tired for 10:30 am Sunday morning, and they are hidden a bit off the street. These things make me worry for their longevity. Their food is delicious, their positive vibe, clean shop, and nice daily menu make me hope for their success for their great concept store.

What an amazing meal! Deliciously prepared with high quality ingredients and tons of love. We couldn't choose just one, so we decided to share a garden salad with roasted chicken and the most refreshing house dressing, a satisfying cream of mushroom soup and a truly mouthwatering Croque Monsieur with a side of house-made chips. Can't wait to visit their market next!

Agape is the perfect place to grab a healthy snack or meal. Fresh, wholesome & hearty.
