Publix Super Market at The Village Center in Tampa

I buy groceries many stores and this location is my favorite one. First, the store is always very clean and have many selection, also an isle for international food ( Asian food, Spanish food...) and the fruit & vegetables, seafood, meats are so fresh and good quality. Second, The service is great, employees always happy to help you if you couldn’t find products. Specially the meat and seafood department, they are so friendly and smile anytime you ask for custom cut. Great bakery with fresh baked bread very day and many delicious cookies & pies. For the price, I think it’s fair price and they do often Buy 1 get 1, or some promotions. They also match price or accept other competitive coupons. Great place to shop for groceries, highly recommend.

This Publix bakery is amazing! I can't recommend them enough. For the sloth cake, I showed them a package from a party decoration and they were able to create a beautiful, perfectly matching cake out of it! The theme and colors were spot on!I was so happy with the Halloween cake as well. It was beyond perfect. And if you've never had a Publix cake, they are seriously the best! They have some kind of secret recipe that makes their cakes incredibly moist and flavorful.I wish I knew who helped me but I've worked with a few different people in the bakery and everyone is super nice and has always listened really patiently. The customer service and quality is excellent.

The meat counter is not super friendly. You can hear them trash talking while you're waiting on them to cut an order. Managers are not super knowledgeable about products. Had to return something that should have been BOGO, got argued with by the manager, then apologized when I showed him what he should have already known. The deli almost never has my online order done on time, even during off peak hours. For the most expensive store in town, they could really be more on their game....

I went to the bakery and wanted to customize a cookie cake for my niece who's turning 10. Katie came over to help and we talked and she came up with a great design!!! It was better than imagine when I came to pick it up. I really appreciate that kind of service!!! Thank you to Katie for making the birthday great!!! We all loved it!

Hey JUSTIN WOLFE, GM, please either train your DELI team to utilize (*ACTUALLY USE) the ticket & # system or remove it. When there are 9 customers, no one knows who's next!My ticket said #64, the wall said #43 and there were 7 of us, 4 of whom had no ticket and said "the Deli is so messed up"! Improve through training & setting expectations.#CUSTOMERSERVICE #PUBLIX #PUBLIXDELI

The deli is terrible. There were at least four people in line waiting for Pubs Subs, and only one person making them, which she was very slow. Then once they told another worker to jump to help out after 10 minutes. And unfortunately was the worst sandwich I've ever had from Publix. One of the bagger guys after when they were done bagging my items put it to the side and I had to walk around them awkwardly just to retrieve my items after I paid and wanted to try to have a full-on conversation with me about my shirt when I'm trying to leave

Normally this publix is fine. They have what I need and the service is decent to good. Today I had a cashier named Lisa (older woman). Terrible service, not friendly at all. There was something wrong with their chip reader. She says loudly…”it says not authorized.” I try again, she says softly “Oh, that worked.” To top it off they forgot to give me two of my bags. I noticed when I got to the car, come back in and she loudly says “there,” pointing to the next row. No apologies, nothing…I used to work in customer service. Knowing how to talk to people is a must. I’d still go to this Publix because most of the workers are fine…but I’ll avoid her line.

Worse cakes I've ever had. All thier cakes are mass produced and frozen and full of preservatives. And they taste like it. Dry, had heartburn. They make so called butter cream that tastes like sugar water and smooth it on so thinly it's cheap looking. I can't stand thier bakery, frozen donuts, frozen cake, FROZEN BRED AND PIZZA DOUGH frozen everything. This is not a FRESH BAKERY. I WISH there was a Giant Eagle in Florida that entire store chain blows Publix away

The store is always immaculate. Very rarely they are out of things. They have a buy one get one free program which really saves a lot of money. The only reason why I did not give it five stars is because they tend to be much higher priced than other grocery stores. The customer service is great. Never had a complaint. It does get crazy busy from 5:00 until about 6:30 and parking is very difficult

Had a horrible experience at this Publix. We ordered pick up subs for 11:45. We arrive and 11:40 to wait. We watch the guy make the sandwiches, his name was Eric, and he made them incredibly slow and sloppily… right in front of us… Didn’t close the wrap so all the food was hanging out of the wrap and he still bagged it, in front of us without a care. The outer bag he handed us had food and sauce all over it that got on my hands and shirt. To say I’m unhappy is an understatement.

Publix is one store that I would never give a bad review.1st time shopping at this one. It's a nice size clean store per usual.It was a ways out but I wanted to check it out. Prices are in the same range as other Publix.The manager even helped me look for what I wanted. From the cashier to everyone I encountered was so delightful. I found good sales items.

The salad bar is extremely clean. Food is fresh, & taste sooooo good. If i could give it a 10 i sure would. Employees are always with a smile on their face. Be prepared to deal with grumpy mean customers bumping into you with nasty faces but this Publix & their employees make it so well worth it 😂. I'm guessing the neighborhood has a lot of grumps but once again, sooooo well worth it.

I went a couple days ago and had a SUPER pleasant experience in both the deli and the bakery area. At first I went to get a PubSub and I believe his name was Randy helped me out. He helped narrow down some of the toppings and even gave me a sample of cheddar cheese. I then went over to the bakery where Collin helped me out and broke down the seasonal deserts and types of deserts on display.

This location is the place to go for variety ; always clean , always well sorted and helpful employees . Pharmacy goes above and beyond to help you . The place to go for flower arrangements , the ladies florists are very talented . On Valentine's Day and Mother's Day , they offer hundreds of flowers ! The prices on food items are comparable , some could be higher than competitors by comparison . Overall I enjoy shopping at this Publix !

This Publix location is one of the larger locations that I've been to and always seems to have what anyone could possibly need. The employees here seem to be upbeat and always make sure you're having the best experience that you can have at Publix. Overall, I love this Publix but there's one reason it's not a 5 star review, and that is that everytime I have been there, there has been shopping carts littering the parking lot, which isn't that annoying but is still a minor inconvenience to find parking. I hope their parking gets better, but until then this review will stay at 4 stars.

I always love shopping in this store. The staff are always helpful and super friendly along with a great selection of food. I have only had a couple of issues of not being able to find something during the National shortages, but was able to find an alternative in most cases.Honestly, it is the other shoppers here that I have a problem with. A lot are rude and and nasty. Obviously not the stores fault, just clientele.

The woman in charge of flower department was cooperative at all, we requested a red balloon for my son but she was refusing to give us one, until we saw one and pointed it out, unfortunately i did not catch her name.Then the cashier named Melissa on express line started questioning me about my mother stepping out of the lane to go to the restroom, and I was like, "That's none of your business" but Nyway I answered she was just going to the restroom and ask her why and Melissa said she needed to know who was paying, like Do I look like a thief or what?Worst employees ever, stay away from this publix!!!

This is a nice Publix location. It’s clean and plenty of parking. There is plenty of staff a available to assist you, and the store is clean and easy to find what you’re looking for. They do have a hot food bar that closes at 7pm, and a olive bar. Both are kept stocked, they stop stocking the hot food after 530, so if you want hot food, the earlier the better.

I love this place. It is always clean and most workers are customer friendly. The parking lot is usually crowded, but I think that says something about the quality of the store. I absolutely love the BOGO specials and miss Jennifer on the pharmacy. She was friendly, knew the regular customers, professional and educated in all aspects of pharmacy.

First time in since the remodel and I completely love this place. The new Publix is now awesome and I am going to make it my new go to shopping center. I love the layout and the new look. Plus this store has a huge selection of items, a sitting area to enjoy your lunch and a great deli area and warm food selection!This is a fantastic Publix and I can't wait to start going to it more often.Great job Publix, love this place now.

This is my favorite Publix in all of Tampa and we pass two other stores on our way to this one but would never go anywhere else. The staff here are all so kind and friendly they always make every shopping experience a happy one! They are all so nice to my kids and my kids really look forward to going there to get their cookie and their sticker and say hi to the checkers who’ve become like friends. They also have everything in stock I ever need and a great selection of ethnic foods, cheese, wine, produce, and meat. Special shoutout to Vickie! She is literally the sweetest woman. Yesterday we had to stop at a different Publix due to time/location and my 3 year old said, “ Can we go to Vickie’s isle?” (Meaning at checkout) and she was so bummed when I explained Vickie doesn’t work at the Publix we were going to!

I have always loved Publix but generally felt on a limited budget It was not practical for me. I love the veggie deli subs and went in to purchase and found several 2 for one deals that gave me Publix quality at an affordable price. The deli subs are as good or better then any sub shop. Always fresh with the store as their supplier. I will start going back when possible. TY

The sales clerk Shevanese was extremely rude and unprofessional. My husband and I shop at this Publix 3 times a week and spend a lot of money to be treated so poorly. Management was nice and apologized for the treatment we received from the cashier. Overall, not sure if we will return to this location. Such a shame to have such a negative unprofessional cashier up front because the rest of the store is great.

I usually don't write reviews for things, but this annoyed me so much and cause me to be late by thought if you worthy of a post. Store was neat I found I was looking for However at my cashier was awful beside carry on conversations with other employees she apparently was conversing with her friend while cashing me out which took forever when all I ordered was a sandwich and cookies. I was on a short break and didn't expect for it to exceed the time of my break when the store was not slow at all . My experience was annoying at most certainly wasn't a pleasure

Just left, as many years I been going to Publix didn't never think it was a rude worker, I came for a money order, the cashier was the sweetest guy ever, he asked Kristy Hodges where was the money order paper, he went quick for it & came back, he stated he hadn't put the paper in a while, but stated nicely, he'll get it, so I signaled Kristy Hodges, mind you when he went to her & I signaled her, she was in the cake area with another worker talking to a lady, I just waved, didn't say nothing, because I don't like to talk over people when their talking, she got a entire attitude, frowned her face all because I waved at her saying she was talking to a customer (RUDELY) she has a very nasty attitude. All that wasn't necessary. But it was okay when the employee said something to her.

Though it is impossible to give 0 or less stars to truly rate an experience I hope this review will open some eyes. Usually this Publix doesn’t disappoint but how the quality of an experience has diminished. It was so easy shopping here and like the slogan says “ where shopping is a pleasure.” Any linger this store has forgot what George Jenkins had in mind when he opened the first Publix. Customer is no longer the queen/king when they enter, just another distraction or burden. Baggers have become complacent with making it personal. The most recent and probably most serious is the deli incident.We ordered our sandwiches online and were excited to enjoy our favorite subs. The order pickup was set for 5:50. When we arrived at the time specified, the subs were not even began. We waited 20 minutes for the order to be prepared and all because of a simple substitution on one sub. We wanted turkey in place of the ham that usually comes on the sub. A simple request turned into a nightmare. The original sub was made by Michael. We talked to Michael face to face on exactly what we wanted, an American sub with turkey not ham. Upon returning home the sub was wrong. We got a sub that was ONLY ham with bologna. We called and talked to Bethany. She wrote down the order and apologized for the inconvenience and said she would make the sub again. I then wasted more time and gas to return to the store and walk away with the now “corrected” sub. Needless to say when I returned home the sub was yet again wrong. I was assured by Michael it was perfect. The sub this time contained the roast beef that comes with the sandwich and yet again, a nice slice of ham. Upon calling the store again I was fed the usual lines of “this is unacceptable, I’m so sorry” and “we will gladly make you another” I was promised my money back the next time I return.In short if at all possible avoid online ordering or ever just shopping at all at this Publix. I can not imagine how disappointed Mr. George would be to see a Publix disregard what he worked for so hard.
