"Pickford’s opened in 1949, offering a selection of sundries (small needed items) to its neighborhood. The pink corner store also serves a hearty breakfast, and lunch staples such as a breakfast burrito and a classic BLT." - Laine Doss

The grilled cheese was crispy and wonderful. The soup was tasty. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere immediately takes you back to a time long forgotten. Do yourself a favor and make time for breakfast or lunch here. Enjoy ice cream, drinks or a meal. You will not be disappointed.

Such a neat little blast from the past! I love a good theme and Pickford’s does such a great job of making you feel like you stepped into the past with all the comforts of the present. On Saturdays they have $3 mimosas and a really cool gift shop where you can buy local gifts. The breakfast burrito was incredible! Can’t wait to go back.

A step back in time. This was our first time here. We were greeted with courtesy staff. They took time to explain some of the history behind the restaurant. I had a breakfast sandwich and my spouse had the breakfast burrito. Both were very good. Just a really good experience with food, atmosphere, and service. We will be back!!

Perfect spot for a lunch/breakfast date to to grab some sister time. Cool antiques and adorable shop in front. There's even a plant nursery in the parking area! ❤️ They have simple but delicious menu. Highly recommend the espresso shake!!

We've been looking for new spots to try and found this gem!! We have driven past a hundred times, thought what a cute pink building but never knew what was inside, now we do! Super cute, clean, vintage and eclectic interior paying homage to days gone by. Walk up to the counter to place your order and then find a spot to sit and they do the rest. The service was excellent, quick and friendly. The food was piping hot, made to order, great coffee. We tried the croissant breakfast sandwich as the server recommeded, which was huge and delicious. We watched the other people around us get the breakfast platter and that will be the next try. I am a grilled cheese and tomato soup junkie so will be going for lunch soon. Prices are reasonable for the portions. Give it a try!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Breakfast Spot – A Hidden Gem! I stopped by Pickford Sundries the other day to grab breakfast for my mom and myself, and wow—what a fantastic experience! The food was exceptionally great—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. From the first bite, we could tell this place knows what it’s doing in the kitchen. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming—a perfect spot to enjoy some quiet time during the week. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both quality and calm in such a cozy setting. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and check them out. Highly recommend this spot—support local businesses! Phenomenal location, great service, and even better food. I’ll definitely be back!

First the pros: This place has good food the i side its like going back in the past so many memories when i was a kid. If you want a blast from the past this is the place to visit many nostalgia items inside so many goodie’s. If you to chill this is the place for you date not also they have a lounge very nice one with great old shows. Must visit. For the little cons: They need better ventilation because my eyes started to burn because of the smoke in the place while they were cooking, and we were eating. Other than that great place. Sorry wanted to five you guys a five star but the smoke was uncomfortable. 😞

At this point I’ve been to Pickford’s a handful of times. This is the place to be. It’s not a huge menu but everything I’ve had is good to great. This place is really cool and while it’s nostalgic for an era before my time it’s got a personality that blends old and new and can be appealing to anyone. Pictured: breakfast burrito(favorite, greatest of all time), BLT (good, peaceful, not too heavy), and Chili Cheese Fries. I had never had chili fries before and this batch was sick. I would highly recommend. I’ve also had the French toast here and breakfast sandwich - both GOOD. okay bye

If you've ever dreamt about using a time machine to see what a diner might've looked like back in the 50's, then this is the spot. Pickford's has good coffee, treats, and eats. The general store aesthetic is super neat, and there's a lot of cool antiques, posters, and signs. Good place to get some unique gifts and decorations.

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.

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!

Plenty of old Florida nostalgia Gift ideas! we had overnight oats, blueberry French toast, and a breakfast bowl with turkey sausage. It was a little on the healthier side and delicious. We will definitely come back.

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.

Epic place. Back room is really a throw back to the good ole days. Great food too. I loved the overnight oats w home made blueberry jam on top.

Pickford's has a cute gift shop as soon as you walk in and I enjoyed browsing while I waited for my to-go order. They have a variety of sandwiches and other options for breakfast or lunch. The service was fast and everyone was attentive throughout the restaurant. I would recommend going in to try their food or to place a to-go order as they do not take them online or over the phone.

I have driven past this adorable cafe several times a week for 20 years. Today I had the opportunity to stop in for a coffee and the best breakfast sandwich. This place is part cafe, part gift shop, and part museum sprinkled with cozy atmosphere and friendly people. I am sorry I didn't stop in sooner. Definitely make a point to visit, you won't be disappointed.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Super cute place. Great little shop with unique variety of stuff. Sandwich counter & diner in the back. I had a cup of chili and iced tea for less than $7 pretty good!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We finally stopped in to this quaint spot for lunch and we were not disappointed! Plenty of choices on the menu! We Had the grown up Grilled Cheese! It was grilled to perfection! Cheesy Asiago sourdough bread and variety of cheeses. In the sandwich made this a cheese lovers dream! The Steak sandwich was absolutely amazing! Super tasty! The Homefries were on another level! I secret topping sauce topped them off perfectly! We'll be back soon to try other menu items! I hear the Breakfast is amazing! The staff was very friendly and you can shop their cute and quirky gifts while there! Enjoy!

Look no further for a great breakfast in a sweet spot. Whether you are going to a game or on the run - like we were - this "old fashioned" Sundries shop is the perfect place to go for a delicious meal. Check out this incredibly stuffed breakfast sandwich that was made from scratch! Easy parking too. We will be back!

I wanted to love a retro lunch spot, wanted to feel all the nostalgia. And in a way I did. The lunch area was cute, the service great, and the food was good. I had the sprout melt which was unusual and very tasty, and my sons had the turkey sandwich and the roast beef sandwich, each saying they were good. We all had potato salad for the side, a little bland but not bad. The reason for only 3 stars is the merchandise for sale. It was mainly items with raunchy packaging/advertising, and a huge number of them emblazoned with F-bombs. I was thankful I had not brought my grandchildren! This is NOT a family -friendly place!!

Well finally stopped in at Pickford's my friends have been telling me about this place for years. Walking through was walking back in time all the Knick knacks and the soda fountain. It reminded me of my youth . I used to go to a place like this when I was a kid with my grandfather on a Saturday it brought back fond memories. Waited in the line as the person in front of me was finishing their order. Wasn't in a hurry because of everything in the store was like a little nostalgic.Had a craving for a burger so I ordered the burger and was informed that they were waiting on the delivery. No big deal I saw the BLT sandwich I ordered that and let me tell you I was glad they didn't have the burger. It was probably one of the best BLT's that I ever had. You know when you order something on toast you can play frisbee with the toast and break a window. Not this one the sandwich was screaming with bacon fresh ripe tomato and lettuce and the toast was moist and warm. I know anybody can make a BLT not like this. I ordered a side a fries also. I was on my bike and the owner told me I could bring inside so I didn't have to worry about it . The place is so laid back and the place is a throw back in time

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

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!

I loved this place! It was so cute inside with all of the little items you could buy. It would be a great place to look for gifts for loved ones. The food was very good and came out quick. The staff was friendly and patient while I looked at the menu. Breakfast is served all day, so that was a plus. I would definitely come back here again!

This storefront is a sight to see in a sea of cookie cutter plazas that is Hillsborough Ave. Great spot for a slow bite and some laughs. Their store has some funny tchotchkes, some even raunchy lmfaooo.

This is a hidden gem off W hillsborough ave. We came here after a Sunday workout and wanted to try a new local spot. I love how the decor is a old school diner feel and there is ample seating. The menu offers vegetarian options which I can appreciate and the pancakes for breakfast looked huge. This time I got the Fancy Egg Sammy and it was delicious. They took a little bit long for the order because it was Mother's Day but there is a lot of things to look at and get lost in during your wait.

FANTASTIC! I've been wanting to dine here for a while now & Pickfords did not disappoint ... it was like walking into the 1950's The food was delicious! Everything was homemade ... right down to the hand cut home fries. Thank you Pickfords ... I'll be back

Pickford's Counter is the perfect choice for a unique experience. The idea I gathered from it was something like a trendy cute Cracker Barrel with much more upscale food. They have an incredibly adorable gift shop within the colorful and playful diner-style restaurant, but the food is far from diner-esque! I am writing this review a bit late, so my memory does not serve me very well in recalling which dishes we indulged in, but I can say that everything was delicious. Specifically, the crispy rice quail dish was super good, but I kind of wish it was something other than quail, as the crispy rice was divine but the quail was not meaty enough. The sauce included was flavorful though. We also got some sort of pimento dip that came with a bag of classic ruffles and veggies which I found to be a creative take. The steak sandwich was a winner for sure. The dessert was some sort of shortbread cookie rainbow sprinkle with a strawberry remoulade/jam/preserve, that came with very sweet mini silicone spatulas of all different colors. The cocktails we ordered were strong and tasty. Everything is ordered up front before seating, so you don't have to worry about interacting with someone throughout, and can just enjoy the dishes coming out one-by-one! Overall the experience was excellent and I would definitely recommend it for a quiet dinner for which you can come dressed up or dressed down.

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!

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!

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.

Pickford's counter is not only a charming gift store but also the food is absolutely delicious! You think that the egg sandwich on croissant is basic until you order it! I have no idea what they did with that egg but it was perfect. Maybe it was also the perfect bacon and buttery croissant? Something less basic was the peanut butter hot cake made with Banana miso caramel, blueberry gastrique and topped with tiny popcorn. I'm not sharing this in the future. The spicy hot chicken with chipotle honey sauce was super yummy. Popeyes ain't got nothing on this sandwich.

Delicious food, cute diner setting with a plant shop in the back parking lot. Old school FL. Loved the chai tea (iced and hot) that we got, as well as the breakfast burrito. Good service. Check them out.

This is a cool spot. Its like a general store with all kinds of stuff for sale, and a small grocery in the back. But the main part is the restaurant. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. There are different kinds of tables and booths. Small menu but the food is good. Very nice people working there. The breakfast place is scrambled eggs, a potato and chive hashbrown, bacon and this amazing toast!

Arrived today from New York and stopped by to have some breakfast. Place is cozy and the food was great. Friendly service and clean. Had a fancy sandwich with a side of Homemade potato's. Delicious. That's all I can say. Definitely recommend. Probably stop by again before I leave.

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.

We have driven by this place many times. We finally went for brunch this pat weekend. In summary, the food gets 5 stars, the service 1 star. While it apparently says 'self service' the fact that there are tables and chairs and there were servers present, it was quite confusing. My sister 'took' our order and went up to order. While she was in line, a member of the staff came to our table and asked to take our order? We advised that my sister was at the order counter. They did bring us water and iced tea and two coffees. My iced cafe con Lethe was very good. Once we had ordered, we sat for a full hour waiting for our food! In that hour, a table of 8 came in, ordered, ate and left before we got our food. A table of four next to us had two meals delivered while the other two meals took another 10-15 minutes. Our table of four, received two meals and waited another 5-10 minutes for our other two plates. Once served, the food was very good. My sister & her husband had the berry french toast, my girlfriend had the scrambled breakfast and I had the Oh Sweetie sandwich. All very good. While eating, the power in the back lounge went out. It didn't effect us directly. However, while eating, we noticed it started getting smoky in the restaurant and eventually, after we'd finished our food and were shopping in the little store area, our eyes began to itch from the smoke and we left. I don't know if the power outage effected the hood vent exhaust fan. So, I will give it another chance, as there were a few items on the menu I'd like to try. I'll let you know how the second visit goes.

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.

The best brunch around and such a fun place to shop. The diced breakfast potatoes are a must have.

What a cute little store! I stopped in for some Cold Brew and to check this place out. It's been open for a while, and I drive by all the time, but I haven't made the time to explore it until this day. The cold brew was okay. But the store is adorable. It stocks all sorts of Tampa-themed sundries. There are candles, magnets, towels, etc. All themed with Tampa and neighborhoods. I may stop in a again some time if I need gifts for people and perhaps to try their food. A

Very nice little shop, serves breakfast and lunch. Order at the counter and they bring you the food. You can shop for cool gifts on one side of the store. It's a pink building on Hillsborough ave. We had the tuna salad sandwich and turkey bacon sandwich with a side of potato salad. Both excellent! Staff was very friendly.

This place is a little pricey for mediocre food. I did enjoy the shop though and all the vintage things inside. It's off a busy road but you can't miss it. The employee didn't seem happy to be there. I probably won't go back

Breakfast was mediocre. I loved the ambiance, old time feel and the music. We ordered the berries and cream French toast - which was just smothered in sauce and blueberry jam. The flavors were there but hard to enjoy trying to navigate all the extra sauce. I love cream and jam, but it felt like I was eating a French toast soup due to the amount of sauce on my plate. My three year old who loves sweets asked me to remove some of the jam/sauce for him! Also, ordered the breakfast plate which was good. Store is super cute. Worth a visit - will try something else on my second chance visit. I want to like this place - so hopefully the more savory options are where it's at for us.
