I travel to Tampa quite regularly for work and always check in with a couple comic shops on every…read moretrip. I hadn't heard of Nerd Out before and dropped by. What a store! The staff was personable, informed, and engaged. The store was packed with collectibles, comics, back issues, toys, just what you expect from a shop. In the time I spent there shopping three regular customers came in and we ended up in exactly the kind of nerd out discussion you would expect from the name. I also found something I've been looking for for two years! Great staff, great selection, great customers, great store.

The Owner of the store ignored us when we entered and when we asked about where to find the book we…read morecame for he was not helpful. The organization of the store is horrible too with some comics being inaccessible due to shelf stacking. Also the owner made weird comments to his friend that made us uncomfortable enough to just leave without getting anything. Overall Id rather drive 35 minutes to a better store than this one.

Big store with tons of selections…read more I was nervous from pictures that this would be all comic books. I was a little relieved when we pulled up and there was a sign that included toys. We were here on a very specific mission, one son was looking for ghostbusters toys and the other was looking for pokemon cards. One of the employees told us that they get the most calls from people looking for pokemon cards. So I don't bury the lead, they don't have just packs of pokemon cards, but they do have a set that includes multiple packs for $60. We ended up getting that for my older son and I've been giving him a pack every couple of days. I was little nervous about our mission to find ghostbuster stuff. There were tons of star wars stuff and a lot of funko figurines. We did find ghostbuster funko figures, but that wasn't really what we were looking for. Eventually after walking around a bit, we did find three small ghostbuster items. I think they're meant to be kept on a desk, but my son has been playing with them like they're toys. I haven't seen ghostbusters so I'm not going to describe this well, but they are items to track and then trap ghosts. He was ecstatic that we found them, so mission accomplished. If you're looking for comic books then this is heaven. If you're looking for specific toys, it may be hit or miss, but for us it was a hit. This is definitely a place worth checking out.

Green Shift Comics - Tampa's Hidden Gem for Comics & Guitars!…read more If you're a comic fan--or just want to check out some cool guitars--Green Shift Comics is a must-visit. This shop is a goldmine of comics. Whether you're hunting for the latest releases or a hard-to-find classic, Green Shift has it all. What truly sets it apart is the passionate and knowledgeable owner, Todd. He goes above and beyond for customers, offering sage advice and expert guidance. Having visited both before and after he bought the store, I can say his reorganization and attention to detail transformed it into an inviting, well-curated space. In an era where comic shops can feel sterile or corporate, Green Shift radiates personality and heart. Do yourself a favor and check them out--you won't be disappointed. 5 out of 5 stars!

Hadn't been to an honest to God little collectors store like this in a long time. Reminded me of my childhood growing up in the 80s--early 90s. Had a great time talking with the gentleman there who had a good knowledge of the products and particularly his passion for vintage transformers. Got several cool items at a good price.. Some I didn't even know existed. He showed me around and we talked a lot. Customers came and bought and went while I was still there. Loved the vehicle outside converted to look like transformers ambulance. Highly recommend collectors stop by.

Sooo many comics, sooo many Funko pops, and soooo many statues and figures that I love to collect. The staff were very cool.

CoC have a good selection of new and used comics as well as figurines, cards, books, and more. There were also a few tables set up where a number of people were playing games (maybe D&D but I'm not sure). I perused the new and used issues and didn't find any of the specific issues I was looking for so I ended up purchasing two Comic Book Grab Packs for $7.99 each. Each package includes 10 comics and I wanted to get something. They also have a stamp card in which you get a stamp for every $10 spent and once you collect 10, you get $10 off your next purchase.

The option of breakfast served all day was a surprise. We decided to try three appetizers: the whipped feta, buttermilk fried chicken & fried Brussel sprouts. A glass of sangria & iced tea for beverages. Everything was delicious & exceeded our expectations. Cami checked on us regularly asking if we'd like to order anything else. Would definitely put the Oxford Exchange at the top of our restaurant list when going across the bridge to Tampa. Already thinking about the French toast for the next visit.

Oxford Exchange was such a great experience from start to finish…read more It's way more than just a restaurant -- it's a bookstore, coffee bar, candle-making area, champagne bar (perfect for a girls' day or bachelorette outing), and a cute gift shop with little trinkets and goodies. The entire space has a lively but still relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay and explore. We stopped in for breakfast and everything was excellent. Our table ordered the Brussels sprouts, avocado toast, French toast, a pot of tea, and an Old Fashioned, and the total came to about $87. The French toast was honestly some of the best I've ever had. Service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made the experience even better. After breakfast, we walked around and checked out the rest of the property, including the upstairs seating area and additional spaces. There's so much to see here that it feels like an experience more than just a meal. One tip: definitely make a reservation ahead of time because it stayed packed the entire time we were there. Can't wait to come back!
