Not a fan. The few times I've gone in there to grab a bottle of wine, I resorted to getting in the car and just driving over to the Sweetbay Liquors for a better selection and much better prices. The "market" concept is a stretch. It looks like they kind of just put a bunch of random stuff on the shelves that maybe were on super clearance elsewhere. There is no rhyme or reason to what they have in there, it's just booze and then a random sampling of other food type items. Not a fan. Will not be supporting this business. I cool true market cafe with gourmet and/or organic food options would be a much more useful local business. I'm surprised they are still in business.

I am new to this area and Tampa. My family and I came upon this location just wandering about in our new home, and it has become a favorite "stop by and grab a great meal" establishment. The food is wonderful, definitely enough to take home and savor. Also, the wine selection is fantastic and affordable. It has a great-feel to it, and I now stop by at least once a week to grab a hot meal and a bottle of wine.
I have read the entries below, and I am sorry that the market did not fit what the customers needed. I do definitely think that it fits with local eatery, much like a restaurant, and we often grab water to go without having to go to a grocer. However, it does not fit the convenient store atmosphere, if patrons are looking for that sort of "market."
I simply adore this place and it is very convenient for us.

this is ridiculous. if it only sells beer and wine it shouldnt be called a MARKET. i went in there looking for a thing of juice to tide my 2 yr old over til the next day and all they had were cases of soda. might i also add there were no "healthy" snacks of any kind in sight. rice crispy treats? that isnt healthy. also i might add that this was in the middle of the day. so theres no excuse of they were closing blahblahblah. we already have wob we dont need more beer distributers. if thats what you want to be then name yourself appropriately. also, it was so dirty in there. nothing was organized and things looked as though they had been tossed on the shelves by one of my children's play buddies. i will not be setting foot in that establishment again.
Decent food, but customer service is horrible. I went several weeks ago and had a good sandwich, but received terrible service. They made my sandwich incorrect and I only realized it once I got back to work.
Spent my entire lunch running back and forth between the shop and they did not even acknowledge the inconvenience. Today decided to give them a second shot and went for bagels. Bagels were good, but again the service sucked. The gentleman helping me seemed aggravated that I wanted by bagels sliced and was overall unappreciative of my patronage. I won't be going back!
I’ve tried to support this market, but I am done! They have the nerve to say they have ice, well they need to put the hours they actually have ice available to sell which in my case has been never! … And it’s always a lame excuse, either “the ice will be here at 3 pm when my ice man comes in” or “they didn’t have time to make ice” or whatever other excuse they can come up with. I for one am not going to go into this market to get beer or soda if I have to go to another store to pick up ice, it just doesn’t make sense. The parking is not that great that you would make two trips for soda and ice. It’s just crazy! Now it’s the hours… it’s 9:50 am on a Monday morning and they’re not open. Forget it; I have given this market my last effort to support it. It can join the ranks of other failed businesses in the village for all I care…


This store is super convenient for the residents that live in West Park Village. Yes, they do sell RANDOM things but they're useful things and we don't have drive to get them. Their sandwiches are huge and delicious and they have big selection of wine. It's better than having a CVS smack in the middle of West Park Village.
