May Small Bites - Good Food Polk

DEPOT 303

303 NW 1st Ave, Mulberry

It’s an exciting time in Downtown Mulberry! The City of Mulberry has teamed up with Jonathan Bucklew of The Joinery fame to launch Depot 303, right across from the iconic Gem Theater. Think: bright, airy vibes and a seriously cool space with plenty of indoor seating—perfect for chilling out on those toasty Florida afternoons & evenings. We tried Tilaw (Filipino food), Pizza Odyssey (inventive & decadent), Fat Maggies, and Lings Dumplings (dumpling dough & fillings made inhouse). Everything was amazing, and we’re looking forward to coming back again and again.

JERUSALEM MEDITERRANEAN MARKET

2068 E Edgewood Dr, Lakeland

Tucked away in Polk County is a hidden gem that has been serving the community with authentic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors for the past six years. Jerusalem Mediterranean Market is more than just a grocery store—it’s a complete sensory experience for anyone who loves bold spices, creamy dips, artisan breads, and Middle Eastern hospitality. Whether you’re preparing a mezze platter, searching for authentic Turkish coffee, or craving delicious hummus, this market offers everything—and more. We brought back hummus, baba ganoush, pita, cheese, olives, and dessert to create our bespoke mezze plate.
