It’s been trending around the world since last summer, and now the Dubai chocolate craze has reached the 863.

If you haven’t heard of this trendy treat, it’s a chocolate bar with a pistachio and knafeh (pastry dough layered with cheese and soaked in a sugar-based syrup) filling. Here’s where you can find it around Lakeland:

Rogue Coffee | Bars flown in from the United Arab Emirates are flying off the shelves at this cafe. Try them filled with pistachio, lotus, or peanut butter + caramel.

Choco Berries | Find this booth at downtown events and the farmers market for Belgian chocolate-covered strawberries topped with pistachios and knafeh.

Pour Bear Coffee | Get yours in drink form with the Dubai Chocolate Cold Brew, topped with a layer of creamy cold foam.

Crave Cookies | This new shop will soon introduce strawberry cups layered with pistachio cream, crushed dough, and crumbled chocolate chip cookies.

Andrew Logans Confections | The bars here are unique, with butter-toasted phyllo dough and a housemade pistachio paste without artificial colors or preservatives. Andrew Logans makes the bars at Catapult and sells them at Market on Kentucky.

Jerusalem Mediterranean Market | According to follower @christinemilthaler, you can stock up on bars “that are fantastic” at this Edgewood Drive market, along with more international grocery items.

bodega Market | Stop into this downtown general store for plenty of locally made goods, plus pistachio-filled Dubai chocolate, recommended by @elisabet_ c.e.

First Friday | Downtown Lakeland kicks off each month with a bang at this event happening every — you guessed it — first Friday with local vendors, food trucks, and live music.

Traveling by plane is fun — jet-setting over beautiful blue waters or rolling hills, taking in cloud formations, and landing in a completely different location in a matter of hours is unlike anything else.

The whole navigating the airport part? To help make your time at Lakeland Linder International Airport as smooth as possible, we’ve created a guide that covers everything from gates and parking to details on the airport’s seven nonstop flights.

As soon as guests walk through the airport doors, TSA checkpoints will be straight ahead and to the right. While security may not take as long as at larger airports, Avelo still recommends arriving two hours prior to your flight’s boarding time.

Currently, there is no separate lane for passengers with TSA PreCheck — those with the designation will be handed an identification card that they will show to agents for expedited screening. Reminder: As of May 7, 2025, flyers need a REAL ID to board commercial flights in the US.

Have some extra time before your flight? Before you head through security, head to the airport’s second floor to grab a bite at Sora Eatery. See what we tried when we went.

Just beyond security, passengers can snag pre-packaged concessions (and even some merch) in the gate area at the MarketplACE. Fun fact: Proceeds from sales at the MarketplACE will help fund programs at the Aerospace Center of Excellence (ACE).

Avelo operates primarily out of two gates that share a waiting area just beyond the TSA checkpoint. In line with other smaller airports like St. Pete-Clearwater International, travelers will exit the airport into a secure outside area on the tarmac to board the plane via covered ramps. Remember, Florida weather can be finicky, so it might not be a bad idea to have a rain jacket on hand during the summer months in particular.

If you have questions about your flight, you can head to the Avelo counter before you go through TSA or ask one of the gate agents before you board.

Not everyone has a bestie who will drop everything to pick them up whenever they land. Thankfully, LAL is making things easy with free paved parking until the installation of new payment kiosks later this summer. There is also an unpaved grass lot available for overflow parking.

The airport has pick-up points to the left of the terminal for rideshare and taxi services, and can be accessed via public transportation on the Citrus Connection Red Line. LAL also offers rental car services via Avis and Budget.

Because LAL only has one terminal, all of these parking + transportation options are within walking distance of TSA and your gate, and we truly mean walking distance — Assistant Airport Director Adam Lunn shared with us that the distance from where guests board + deplane the aircraft is only around 300 ft from the parking lot.

LAL currently offers seven nonstop flights — six that travel within the continental US, plus one flight to Puerto Rico.

Bonus: Get lower fares by signing up for Going. You’ll get emailed when flights are 40-90% cheaper than usual. Get a two-week free trial of the Premium plan, which lets you set custom destination flight alerts (score).

Other key features travelers will see at LAL include free charging stations in the gate area + an information center by baggage claim. Both of these features are sponsored by Visit Central Florida. We even hear that fresh orange juice is passed out from the information desk from time to time.

Learn more about LAL’s current projects and goals for the future in the newest version of the Airport Master Plan.

While we may not be able to offer solutions for crying babies or lack of plane WiFi, we do have some tricks up our sleeves for upping your comfort while flying. Browse some of our favorite travel essentials:

The Lakeland area is set to get another Chick-fil-A restaurant serving its signature chicken sandwiches and waffle fries.

According to Polk County records, the new location is just north of Shepherd Road on the west side of South Florida Avenue. Its location was confirmed May 14 by an email from the company.

“While we are still early in the process, Chick-fil-A is happy to share that we are actively pursuing a new location in the Lakeland area,” said the company via email on Wednesday. “We are excited by the prospect of joining this neighborhood, where each locally owned and operated restaurant creates 80–120 jobs.”

“We hope to have the opportunity to serve new Guests delicious food in an environment of genuine hospitality,” the company added.

The exact address is 6875 S. Florida Ave. in unincorporated Lakeland, which is the site of an vacant lot, county records show. The rear of the property abuts a CSX railroad track along Old Highway 37.

The land has been cleared and workers had started laying some infrastructure.

The 2.18-acre lot is owned by 2024 Shepard Lakeland LLC, county records show. The corporation’s managing members are listed in state records as Paul Ferber and P. Shield Ferber Jr. of Ponte Vedra Beach.

The land sold on Jan. 21 for $1.57 million. The developer is listed as Southeast Investments Inc. with the Ferbers and others listed as officers of the corporation.

Polk County has received a site plan, and Bohler Engineering Florida LLC is the applicant on behalf of Chick-Fil-A Inc, county records show. The drawing shows a gross area of 5,335-square-feet for a quick-serve restaurant with a drive-thru and related site infrastructure.

The restaurant will have 68 seats, plans show. A driveway in a site plan submitted to Polk County shows the Chick-fil-A will connect to other parcels slatted for retail and restaurant tenants.

Those nearby parcels, just to the north of the Chick-fil-A site are expected to contain an ABC Liquor store and possibly a Chipotle with a tenant for a third building unknown. County staff said a liquor variance was approved last year by Polk County for one of the parcels. A recent post to Facebook shows a Chipotle is coming too, but neither the county or the engineers would confirm that.

Nearly two years ago, the South Lakeland Chick fil-A at 4625 S. Florida Ave. received improvements to its drive-thru lanes. The interior was also remodeled and traffic flow improved in the parking area to avoid stacking onto Florida Avenue or Alamo Drive.

In Polk County, the Chick-fil-A website shows other restaurant locations in Bartow, North Lakeland, Southeastern University, Winter Haven and Davenport.

Currently, the Atlanta-based fast-food chain serves breakfast, lunch and dinner at more than 3,000 restaurants in 48 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Canada, its website said.

Chick-fil-a plans to expand in Europe and Asia this year, with plans to open restaurants in additional international markets by 2030.

The family-owned and privately held restaurant company was founded in 1967 by S. Truett Cathy, who had decided earlier in his career to close the restaurants every Sunday for employees to rest and worship if they choose.
