Found this place after doing some Yelp and TikTok research once I landed in Tampa and boy am I glad…read moreI found it! This place was absolutely stunning. We walked in on what I think was the back side, and welcoming us was the cutest book store. We browsed around before walking through and seeing the courtyard area and maybe a candle bar and another area that had gorgeous decor near the hostess area. There was also the chicest Champagne Bar, which is perfect for Instagram photos for the photogenic people while you wait. We didn't have reservations, but the wait was only 30 mins or so, so we walked to the University's campus across the street, which was interesting too, but that's for another post. I received a text once my table was ready. I ordered the breakfast taco's and substituted the meat for grilled chicken. My friend ordered the Simply Breakfast Sandwich and substituted grilled chicken, too. The tacos were enormous. They were enough to keep me full the rest of the day. (Maybe it was all the protein). When I say everything was delicious and seasoned to perfection, you didn't need an ounce of additional seasoning. The crispy potatoes were some of the best potatoes I've had as well. I wanted the cinnamon, which was on a special menu for that day, but opted not to get it since my waistline expands at the thought of food! You also have to know that I didn't stop eating there though because I'm a foodie! Lol. Most of the people there were dressed Friday business casual and/or chic. I was fresh off the plane from an early morning flight, but felt comfortable in my attire. Back to this food though...I will definitely be back to Oxford Exchange to try more of the menu when I'm in the area. I overheard the people at the table next to me talking about how good their food was, too! So if you're in the area, don't think twice about going, just go.

Blackberry London fog : 5 of 5 Nice flavor and aroma from…read morethe tea and the milk paired well with it as a whole. Definitely made me want to sample more of their options and Im normally a coffee only person. Orange Mocha Drink from the coffee bar : 4 of 5 Im unsure of the name for this drink as I didn't have a picture, but the drink wasn't mixed as well as I would have liked, making it taste a bit artificial. Glad I tried it cause it reminded me of the chocolate orange candy, but would get something else next time. Service was great at both the tea and coffee bar. However, the coffee bar was a highlight, since either I didn't hear my name called in the loud space or it didn't get called. But my drink did get cold, since I did know it was mine and they made me another without question. I greatly appreciated it. Very elegant and unique place to explore with good drinks and fun things to buy.

I really like this bookstore because they have all kinds of different media and a great selection!…read moreThe books are well organized and they have a nice selection of dvds and records as well. There is also a coffee shop and some seating inside, which I did not partake in on this visit but it's a nice added touch! I also sold some books/media here and the process felt a bit unorganized, but I got a decent amount of cash for my items. Be prepared that it will take a few hours, even if you get there right at 10am, but you can leave and come back or stay and shop around. They also give both a cash option and a store credit option, with the store credit amount being slightly higher. Overall a nice feature in a great shop!

Air-conditioned! Thankfully, considering the intense heat on this side of FL…read more Good stock - a good selection of new and used books and vinyl. Definitely have everything a new collector might want but may not have the deep cuts a long-time collector (like me) would be looking to purchase. Prices - a tad high. But I expected that considering I'm in a metropolitan area. Their rent is probably super high, but I don't mind paying an extra $2-3 per book to keep an independent store open. Regarding those deep cuts: - I did find some authors that I think are often overlooked, including Richard K. Morgan, Chuck Tingle, and Ann Leckie. - I was saddened to see that there was no Ronald Malfi in stock, which I find to be a mainstay in horror. - There was no Between the Buried and Me vinyl in stock, which saddens me due to concert tonight (that's why I drove all the way to this coast). Rating - 4.2/5.0

Other than that I really enjoyed their selection and how everything was nicely categorized. The owner greeted us warmly and tried to see what kind of books I was into so that he could intentionally steer me around his shop, I appreciated it because I only had about 30 mins to peruse. I ended up buying 2 herbal books for a very fair price, he actually told me the prices on the books weren't set in stone. The whole thing was delightful, him and his wife even gave me a locally owned restaurant recommendation.

Holy cow this place is amazing!…read more The only potential issue is a lot of the sections are not organized by author or anything just the genre. That is a positive for me as I like to wander and see what I find, but if you're looking for a specific book this is probably not the place. That being said, they have a LOT of books and they were very cheap.

They're creating a lovely third space here where people can meet up, relax, do puzzles and read. There's just about every type of physical media on offer from vinyls to vhs and of course books for everyone. I love that we're giving old books new life and also saving money while the kids get to read more! It's a win-win-win. We bought an entire basket of books for around $10 and I don't feel too bad when my 2 year old accidentally rips a book at home anymore. I really love what they're doing here and hope they continue doing well. I'd love to see them start a little coffee shop inside one day as I think that would really amp up sales and enjoyment.

A coffee table book of artworks in Ybor City for my friend who loves the area. In great condition and reasonably priced. Awesome. And then I spotted two science fiction books for me that are going onto my shelves. I also bought a bookplate that was in a display at the counter. Eek, $15. But worth it to customize my gift which the very nice young lady put into a bag with some tissue paper to make "gift". Awesome service. Fabulous stuff and that's just the books. There's also all sorts of other vintage and unique antique items on sale. Definite opportunity for gifts and light decor. [Round number review 15800 overall - 1380 in Florida - 1304 of 2021.]

I've been into the shop a couple times; the first time was in their opening week. The owner (I'm…read morenot sure of her name) is so friendly and really loves her collection. This past Shop Small Saturday, I visited with 4 other people and her shop was (safely) bustling. I found a record for $1 outside and I did not have any cash - instead of having me use my card for a buck, she gave me the record for free. These types of small things make people come back and bring other people with them. This is a gem of a store (located just a couple blocks from where I used to live) in Seminole Heights. Check it out and spend some time finding some cool vintage treasures like books, records and furniture.
