Hillcrest Coffee

We love this cute little coffee shop! We visit whenever we are in town for a great cup of coffee and a delicious pastry! The staff is friendly and knowledgable and provides wonderful service! Definitely recommend for any coffee connoisseur looking for an above average cup!!

Smells of mildew & mold! Went to experience the music on Thursday night. It was too loud! No coffee after 8 pm? I was confused!

Loved the vibes here!!! They have cozy and eclectic decor inside and seating outside. The staff was SUPER nice and were welcoming. We were a group of 6 and everyone enjoyed their coffee! We had one person score their coffee a 7/10 and that's along because they wished they would've gotten more sweetener. They have A LOT of flavor options for your coffee. I will say, I'm personally not a fan of buddy brew coffee and that is what they serve here. However, I very much enjoyed my drink. Maybe hill crest does something different with the coffee! I will be back!

This is a great location. Really fun, cool vibe and a nice old home. Tried two different types of coffee, both pour over style. Both were excellent. The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly & helpful. Also tried the quiche which was delicious.

This is such a cozy/homey coffee shop. Today we stopped by after lunch and it was delightful. I got an iced lavender/mocha flavored decaf latte with a honeycomb breakfast cookie. It was all amaaazing. The girl at the counter was friendly and caring. We'll be back soon!

Arrived at one of my favorite coffee places not only in Lakeland but in Florida. You can park in the small parking lot by the side of the cute yellow house where the coffee and tea are sold or on the streets that surround it. There are sitting spaces inside and out. It was a bit in the freezing side when we got there this am, so if you are sitting inside bring a sweater, it is refreshing when it is 90 out but tend to get a bit chilly after a few minutes.The pricing is so reasonable, feels more like the 2000's than 2022. $3.65 for a latte.,at a place down the street they charge $5.50-$6.25! Crazy! So much better here AND the folks that work here... so polite! I thought I would get into one of those cartoon arguments with a barista of who was going to go first in a hallway! He was much too polite with his hands full, lol!!!!My honey cinnamon latte, delish!!!!!!!!! My hubby got coffee. All coffees are made from beans from a local company called Ethos, Buddy Brew and Patriot. $1.10 an ounce. Have had them all...gets your heart racing, in a good way

Nice little quiet coffee shop away from the busy downtown. It's homey inside and has ample seating outside. An "anyone" kind of place. Got my basic vanilla latte and our guests could get the daily special coffee and flat white, etc. Coffee was excellent. We were there pretty early and they were sold out of any type of pastries. But definitely worth the stop for a coffee.

Ahh, Hillcrest just feels like home.. This is actually the truth, though, because Hillcrest Coffee is literally set up in an actual house in the middle of a Lakeland neighborhood ! There's a lovely wrap around porch with outdoor seating and it's super cozy and close quarters inside. This can both be good and bad. If there's a lot of people inside it certainly gets quite loud.On special nights there is also live music from local performers, and that's when the intimate space really becomes fun. I think the coffee itself is good! It's not one I'd rave about but it's definitely worth going and enjoying, especially sitting out on the porch if able.There's also a special white kitty that likes to hang around the house and take in all the pets (and treats if you give in). She has let me pick her up too, such a sweetie. If you click your heels to return home, you may just end up at Hillcrest Coffee!

The coffee was amazing, excellent service and atmosphere, the live music, the place, I loved it.

Amazing & unique experience.Artsy ambiance. Excellent Coffee. Kind, thoughtful service.
