This is a beautiful and impressive locally owned book shop. They have books old and new from every…read moregenre you could be interested in. They also have a section for local Floridian authors, along with guides to the state of Florida and different cities, which is super relevant for visitors to the shop. Along with books, they have other knick-knacks, some book-themed and some just for fun. There are socks, shirts, book-themed book bags, puzzles and more. I would say the prices aren't the best but they aren't quite as bad as going to a Barnes & Noble or Books-a-million type book shop. And i'd much rather support a small business paying a price like that than the big chains. They do also have a used book section that has cheaper books so that can be another nice option. Truly, there's something for everyone in here if you look close enough. Even some special edition books they keep behind the register as they as rare & a very valuable.

I do not know about purchasing from this bookstore, but don't bother trying to sell them anything…read more So far three times I've sent them emails with photos of new author hardcover books, and some out of date old books Besides, taking forever to get a response, they do not purchase anything So don't bother contacting them if you have books to sell In response to the owner. I said specifically, I did not know anything about purchasing from him or his bookstore What I did say is, if you're trying to sell, this is not the place to go Did not mean to be offensive, but it seems that they do not purchase anything whatsoever from anyone. And this is definitely lacking in this area. Everything I read about his bookstore as far as inventory , service, and hospitality is above grade. All I said is do not try to sell anything

This is a very lovely location, but moi prefers the "Book Nook" intimate location in Tyrone square. It's very small but it's also never crowded. This one was already crowded & very noisy, even at 10am, with a very busy long long coffee line. Yikes :( Will Return.

Nice when they are open . They don't seem to go by store hours but when open terrificread more

I love BAM the affectionate nickname for Books A Million. Only come to the store here in Port…read moreRichey Florida. It's a great store and the clerks are very nice. One clerk in particular I called on the phone and her name is (McKenna) and I told her I wanted the old farmers almanac 2025 box calendar. When I got there, she had three different ones and I picked the one that I wanted. I posted a picture of it. The store is awesome and I always meet interesting people as I just did now, I met an artist that specializes in a number of things, but when I said cats, she gave me her card because she does portraits of pets. I am going to be doing business with her get yourself over the Books A Million, a.k.a. BAM and enjoy a cup of coffee and buy a book or read a book plenty of room to do that and meet interesting people.

Bookstores are great places for dates…read more My Beau and I had just come from where I used to live (I wanted to show him my roots) and we ended up here for a Cup of coffee from Joe Mugs and looking at books, both of us are voracious readers. We spent time perusing the stacks, where he found just what he was looking for and I rekindled my love for Mercedes Lackey and her fantasy series. I love the way a bookstore smells and BAM is no different. One thing that they have above the other retail sellers? They take used books, including school books. YES! They're a new and used seller, how's that? They also have a huge selection of comics and the like.

Think the staff does not like people or something - seems like she always argues and is Very Pushy…read morewith us everytime that I take my kids there. She Scares me on how she acts in front of my Kids like this - any time that we have been there. Last time, she would not stop yelling at my family "that SHE could SHOUT ALL she WANTED to". I politely asked her to Stop, but she continued Yelling across the store repeatedly over and over - until we just gave up and left. She even went outside and was Shouting across the parking lot. Will not take my kids there ever again. This was absolutely ridiculous. I did Not appreciate explaining a Violent and Disrespectful Adult acting this Unrespectable to or in front of my kids. Would you take your kids to experience this ? Prices are expensive - and credit isnt much for donating books anyway ... Guess they don't care about - nor want their customers. *** Lost us as customers. Bye ! ps: My wife doesn't seem to like taking the kids here either. Don't think that she has the patience to deal with people like this (the staff's weird behavior and Pushiness with people).

Oxford Exchange is one of those places that makes you slow down and enjoy the experience. From the…read moremoment you walk in, you're surrounded by beautiful architecture, books, unique gifts, fresh flowers, and one of the prettiest dining spaces in Tampa. The atmosphere is elegant without feeling stuffy, and every corner feels thoughtfully designed. It's the kind of place where you can spend hours browsing the bookstore, enjoying a coffee, or lingering over brunch with friends. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and every detail--from the service to the ambiance--made the visit feel special. Even if you aren't planning to eat, it's worth stopping in just to explore the shop and soak in the atmosphere. My only recommendation is to make a reservation if you're planning to dine, especially on weekends, because it's popular for good reason. Oxford Exchange isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience, and it's one of my favorite places to bring visitors who want to see one of Tampa's most unique gems.

This place went downhill. The classic high tea for $44 is outrageous. Nothing classic about it…read more They give you a sandwich with a mini hamburger bun, the scones aren't traditional at all and taste like blueberry cake batter. It's way way way overpriced for what it is. I asked the server if the tea was loose leaf and she said yes so I asked for more hot water. So she brings a pot of hot water. Turns out the teapot didn't have any tea in it so the staff just don't think. The server tried to take the order by memory and then she couldn't so I had to repeat the entire order so she could write it down. Then she still forgot to add a main course, so that came out late. When I was working in a restaurant I would have at least offered to pay for the coffees because of that kind of mistake. I asked another server for the bill. Instead of walking 5 ft to the till he wonders around the entire restaurant trying to find our server. I just don't get it. It would have saved myself and him time. Everything is just way overpriced for what it is. Nothing blew us away and there isn't anything we couldn't make at home for a fraction of the price and better. We have been to this place before but it will have to take a lot to convince me to try this place again.
