Pickford’s Sundries - Bacon egg and cheese sandwich, roast beef sandwich, breakfast burrito, hash brown bake, iced coffee - American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

You know that feeling when you walk into a place and immediately feel like you belong? That's Pickford's Sundries. Every single time. I'm not exaggerating when I say I've never left here without a smile on my face. Whether I'm grabbing breakfast or lunch, it genuinely feels like eating at home--if home happened to serve amazing food and had the coolest vibe in Tampa. What really sets this place apart are the thoughtful touches everywhere you look. The homegrown elements throughout the space tell you this isn't some corporate cookie-cutter operation--these folks actually care. And then there's the nursery out back. I mean, come on. Who does that? It's like they want to make sure the good vibes follow you outside too. It works. The fact that Pickford's has been part of Tampa since 1949, and the current team partnered with the original owners to bring it back to life in 2020, just adds another layer to the experience. You're not just having a meal--you're getting a peek into Tampa's past while enjoying its present. If you're looking for a place that feels authentic in a city that's changing faster than we can keep up with, this is it. Pickford's isn't trying to be anything other than exactly what it is: warm, welcoming, and all Tampa. read more

Great breakfast Burrito and fun gifts for any occasion. My cats love the hand made cat nip pillows

The breakfast food was delicious! The restaurant is decorated like an old drugstore complete with original containers of old products on display. To get served, you order at the counter and then have a seat. We sat in the back room which felt like an old, comfortable living room! We will definitely be back! read more

I loved this cute breakfast/brunch place! There's a shop inside with unique trinkets. The vintage decor is fun to look at while dining. My boyfriend and I got the Fancy Sandwich and thr Croissant Sandwich. These were 2 that were highly recommended by the waitress. Both were really good. I would get the Fancy Sandwich again. The staff were all very friendly. Im looking forward to coming back here again :) read more

Pickford Sundries stole my heart. What a gem located off of Hillsborough! It was a great experience filled with so many surprises and I'm sad I didn't stop by here sooner. It's basically an old time diner (breakfast and lunch) and gift shop. They carry really unique goodies from funny prank toys to thoughtful cards and decorative pillows. The best part was the live music sung by a gentleman! We loved Ray's performance. I enjoyed that the kitchen is an open concept and that I could see/ smell the food being made. There were baked goods on display which looked yummy. The service was great and the waiter answered all of our questions. Food: Totallt forgot to take a pic of our breakfast bowls but we customized our bowls with scrambled eggs, tater tots, bacon/ turkey sausage, cheddar cheese, and veggies. A good sized portion at a fair price! Would definitely like to explore the lunch sandwiches offered. Drink: $3 mimosas on weekends. I repeat $3 mimosas on weekends. The iced vanilla matcha latte was so so good and it was served in a Joffreys cup. read more

I visited the establishment yesterday. This is not my first time. I am a patron of this establishment. I just want it was the middle of the day right before noon. I just wanted a strawberry milkshake. I sat down at the booth when I was served I could not enjoy it so I asked maybe could I get it remade or another straw? The waitress said that she could not remake it and that's the way they were made she could give me another straw mind you I had to that's my review. Don't order the milkshake or tell them exactly how you want it not so thick. read more

Super cute spot! I thought the breakfast was relatively good for the price. I went with some friends because I was booked to DJ the "art room" speakeasy kinda vibe in the back. It was super fun! People were friendly. I'll be back read more

A wonderful walk back in time with a real soda fountain counter and novelty gift shop. Also a meeting room great for small groups! Open for breakfast & lunch. Great food! Had a fun chat with one of the owners sharing our stories about the history of Pickford and Seminole Heights. I grew up going here as a kid n have fond memories! Glad to see it open and thriving! Go check it out! The service is great and so is the food! The prices are more than reasonable! Nice to see with all the greedy big boys out there overcharging for small portions! Just a real breath of fresh air and a fun treat! read more

Went to Pickford's for the first time yesterday! Such a cute spot for local goods and unique gift items with some tables and booths to eat and drink. We loved perusing all the fun gift items from funny mugs to astrological soap. I saw on their online menu that they had a lot of loose leaf tea options, but in person they said they are trying to lean away from tea so they now only offer hot green tea and iced black tea. I got the unsweet black tea (which came in a Joffrey's plastic cup). We sat for awhile with our drinks and then I ended up ordering the breakfast plate. It was eggs, bacon, and potatoes. It was all good, a classic so no complaints there! read more

What a Tampa Gem! I enjoyed my Chicken Salad croissant. Very Tampa Traditional with potato fries and plenty of pulled chicken on a large warm croissant! My husband loved the "Fancy" sandwich, no room for disappointment there! Most of all, I'm a sucker for a yummy Cafe Con Lecte, so delish! Also, I always like to mention restaurants that have a Gluten option, this one had an up charge for gluten free bread. read more

Very cute old Timey vibe, this place is a store and restaurant. You order and pay at the counter and food comes out to your table. Plenty of seating options, bar, booths, tables. Easy parking and not crowded at all for a Friday around 10am. They serve breakfast and lunch all day with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. My favorite was the spout melt so flavorful and delicious. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

Popped in here about 6 months ago . It had been on my list for a couple of years. It will take you back in time for sure. A blast from the past . Fantastic gift shop where you can find unique gifts. Things you never knew you needed. Plus you can grab a bite. They serve breakfast and lunch from 11-3 daily. The menu is limited yet it offers variety and changes often. Stop in and check it out. read more

Pickford’s Sundries - Cup of scratch made beef chili. - American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I had been eager to come her for a long time. I had seen it on TV and read the reviews so had decent expectations. Let me begin by saying the store part is so very cute and they have great and fun gifts. Love the store part and would give that side 4 stars. Now let's get to the food. I'll begin by saying the menu was very limited and disappointing. My wife ordered an egg bowl and I ordered a burger. The egg bowl was boring, flavorless and cheese looked microwaved. My burger was over seasoned and lacked any real redeeming qualities. It was just so uninspired. I was hoping for a retro funky place with great food kind of like Daily Eats but here the food seemed like an afterthought. Ok the one thing I did enjoy was the shake which was like a real old time milk shake. Just the right sweetness and thickness. Also considering there were only 4 other people there it took a long time for the food to come out, so service while polite was slow. read more

My friend and I visited today for a quick lady lunch. I have been here multiple times for coffee, but I have never had the chance to try the food. I was disappointed that they really don't have anything gluten free except a breakfast bowl or a bowl of chili. Most places have some sort of salad or bread sub, but that wasn't the case. I got a cup of chili. It was hardly warm, but tasted OK. My friend got a BLT w/ potato salad. I tried a piece of her bacon and it was amazing. The potato salad was also very good and fresh. I'm not sure if I'll be back for food since the options for me are slim ...but definitely will come for a Horchata Cold Brew. read more

What a wonderful quirky experience! Hubby tried it a while back and said that I would love it. Today was the first opportunity I had to go in. The energy in this place is super positive, friendly & inviting. There was this wonderful gentleman singing Frank Sinatra songs. His voice was spot on! But I digress, what everyone wants to know about is the food. Very flavorful, huge portions with reasonable prices. My friend and I both decided to try the steak sandwich which comes with fries. And we both ordered the Café con Leche. I asked not to have extra sugar put in, which for me was a great call because the condensed milk has its own sweetness. It was perfect. Definitely had to get a doggy bag. Told hubby about our great experience and now we will all be going back again real soon. Highly recommend! Also as a sidenote on the extended property at the back, is this wonderful plant nursery. read more

Wow. What a cool place. I'm bummed we hadn't found it sooner. It feels like you're stepping back into the 50s. The vibe is so fun for hanging, eating, shopping, working, all the things. QUALITY food without outrageous Tampa pricing. The home fries are a MUST. My latte was delicious and the service was excellent. We can't wait to come back! read more

My husband and I stopped in on the fly after a doctors appointment. I was thinking it was just a cute little diner but boy is it so much more! Upon opening the shop door you are met with a small convenience store setup with quirky novelty items followed by a quaint countertop diner vibe. We were greeted at the counter where we viewed the menu and placed our order. We then picked our seats and the drinks were immediately bought over to us. The food was freshly made and we were serviced quickly. The "Oh So Sweet sandwich" was the perfect mix of savory and sweet satisfying every single tastebud, and the "Berries & Cream French toast" was the perfect mix of fresh fruit with a hint of sweetness. Side note: the whipped cream and berries for the French toast were completely made fresh and from scratch! Overall an amazing experience, great staff and even greater food! read more

My first time every coming here and I was very impressed! This place has a a lot going for it. On one side there is a diner type area along with table seating and on the other side, a uniquely stocked small grocery. In between there are so many random knick knacks it almost reminded me of a cooler Cracker Barrel haha! I only was able to grab some donuts from there which I believe they get new drops Wednesday through Saturday. I got the last Mint Matcha donut so clearly I'm not the only one who knows about this place! The donuts were so good! They were dense yet fluffy and just overall delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more menu items! read more

I guess since this has the same address as the Urban Bungalow, I'm gonna assume it the same place We drove by this place a few weeks back and wasn't sure what it was. In my search for a new brunch place to go to I saw Urban Bungalow and my bf was like I think that's the same spot as Pickford's (that place we saw) We decided to venture to tampa and I'm glad we did. When you walk in, you order at the counter and pay, then you sit with your number and you can peruse all the different tchotchkes (from books, baby stuff to kitchen items and snacks) The service was great and super friendly and the food is amazing! My son could not stop raving about the French toast and my bf inhaled his pickmuffin. I didn't realize how spicy my smothered potatoes would be but it was still really good! Highly recommend this lil hidden gem! read more

Weekending done right. Pickford's Counter has an absolutely amazing brunch! (A new favorite spot ). The best part is, you don't need reservations to go The restaurant also doubles as a store where you can find unique gifts and Tampa inspired decor. Everything from the atmosphere, to the coffee, to the food was great, can't wait to go back! My favorite was the matcha latte with honey; so delicious and refreshing. The Frenchy Toast was also perfect; not too sweet and incredibly flavorful. Also would highly recommend the side of harshbrowns! They were too good... very crispy read more

After visiting the Market on Florida which was set up in Pickford's parking lot, I went in to Pickford's Counter for a quick look. Should've known I couldn't just look. Cute shop. I loved the combination of off the beaten path gifts and Seminole Heights/Tampa-centric merchandise. The items where spaced out so that there was plenty of room to move which helped create a sleek and clean aesthetic. The food area largely consisted of two long counters. It seemed a throwback to the era of local pharmacies serving milkshakes and drinks. I was very tempted to pick up some vegan goodies (they serve We Vegan Eats brand) but opted for just a coffee. Pickford's serves Commune + Co. coffee. Their menu lists a variety of different drinks, both iced and hot. My favorite part of the menu is that each drinks lists the ounces of coffee to milk. That way I could easily find an iced, more coffee heavy drink. I ordered an iced cappuccino with oat milk and took it to go. With tip, the drink was slightly more expensive than other coffee shops in the region, but the taste was worth the extra coins. I can't wait to come back to experience some of the vegan items on Pickford's menu. read more

Pickford’s Sundries - Delicious breakfast sandwich! - American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This place ROCKS for not only the experience, but the food/service. I will start with the experience. Driving down Hillsborough Ave you come on a building that looks like something right out of the 50's. You get the vibe right away this should be fun. They have left much of the prior really-old restaurant/store that used to be here in tact. As you wander around the building you see such treats as an old ice box, stove and a Maybelline display for cosmetics, old cameras, just to name a few. So not only is this a restaurant, but also a museum. Their is a lot of really funny merchandise plus many items for Pickford and the Tampa area it is located in. It was so much fun to wander the two room store both before and after the food. Now the food. I chose the delicious french toast. So good I almost considered it breakfast/lunch and dessert all in one. Another thing I have tried that is highly recommended is the fancy egg sandwich that has so many great flavors it is hard to beat. They have bottled soda like Nehi for $3 each. I tried one called A-Treat frosty cream soda that I'd never seen before and was tasty. The restaurant also brought ice water without asking (thank you!). They have a good amount of tables and seating inside, including at the old- fashion diner counter. Then outside, both in front and in the backyard are some really cute tables for days with nice weather. There is plenty of parking, including overflow behind the fence. This place is the perfect excursion with great food/service to boot. I will continue returning! read more

Why 4 stars? Because this is a great use of this spot. --- --- --- I feel like it's been at least 8-10 years since this building had a functioning business inside of it and I can't think of a more ideal use of this space than Pickford's. It's definitely a throwback to a simpler time. I couldn't decide what to order, so I did what I usually do in these predicaments: I ordered way more than I actually needed so that I could try a bunch of stuff without having to make tough decisions. I really liked the Pickford HotDog and the wife really liked the Cheeseburger Dog, which is a burger that comes in the form of a hot dog. The Damn Good Grilled Cheese was a bit of a let down, unfortunately. But the main disappointment came from the fries. Some of them were overcooked and some of them were undercooked. I don't know what exactly happened but they were either hard as a rock or mushy. Hopefully this was a one-off and not the norm. As for other things I tried: the nitro coffee was amazing. I noticed the tap was from Commune + Co, which is no surprise because they have some of the best coffee in Tampa Bay. And the Thai Tea was a bit unique, in that, it almost tasted kind of carbonated. I dug it though. I also bought this giant Rice Krispie treat style thing and some chocolate. They certainly have no shortage of interesting items to sort through while you wait. To be honest, the food was probably more like 3-3.5 star for me, but I'm rounding up, as it's a very challenging time for small business and everyone in here was incredibly nice. read more

They did an excellent renovation of this shop and restaurant. The inside reminds me of an old-fashion shake shop. One side is a counter with stools and there are also a few tables for diners to eat at. I didn't eat, so I can't comment on the food. I did shop though and there were a lot of fun items. Candles, kitchen towels, coasters, cutting blocks, etc. all with funny sayings. I loved that they had a lot of Seminole Heights and Florida merchandise. I see this as a great place to buy birthday and holiday gifts. I walked out with a variety of items but the amazingly delicious fresh caramels were devoured before I made it out of the parking lot, and I'll attack the chocolate bar with bacon and potato chips tonight. read more
