Oxford Exchange is a true gem! The elegant atmosphere, coupled with exceptional service, creates a memorable dining experience. The diverse menu caters to various tastes, and each dish is a culinary delight. From brunch options to afternoon tea, the quality and presentation are consistently top-notch. The ambiance, characterized by timeless decor and a bookstore, adds a unique charm. A must-visit for those seeking a delightful and sophisticated culinary journey.
Came here on a busy Sunday for brunch. I would recommend making reservations ahead of time before going on a busy day. We waited awhile past our reservations but we were seated where I requested out in the conservatory even though they had said on the phone that there were no guarantees . I took a star off only because it was a long wait and I don’t think they were very prepared for a busy day.
However, the food was overall very good (the fries that came with my meal were super dry and over cooked) but the main course was very good. It’s a beautiful place and they had a decent book selection, as well as the tea being well made too. We will definitely come back!
My new favorite bookstore and brunch spot. Many of the books are signed by the author. They have multiple book clubs. The Gouda omelette and pancakes were phenomenal! The aesthetics and intentional diversity is on point.

This is my new brunch spot! Oxford Exchange truly impressed during my brunch visit. The atmosphere exudes sophistication, complemented by a diverse menu filled with delightful options. The attentive service adds to the overall experience, making it my top choice for a refined yet relaxed brunch in Tampa. Solid five stars.
Set in a historical Tampa building, the Oxford Exchange offers an exceptional dining experience. It's upscale, nostalgic flair, creates an entertaining atmosphere to compliment the well prepared dishes. The southern style Eggs Benedict, Fried Chicken Sandwich, and Mac and Cheese with Truffle, were superb. Prices were a bit higher than most, yet worth it. For brunch, avoid the pancakes and french toast, as the savory options will exceed expectations.
Went to grab coffee after reading the reviews but was pleasantly surprises with all the Oxford Exchange had to offer! We walked into their book store, bought a book or two and then walked over to the Candle Pour to learn about their services. Will be trying this service out!
Our dining experience was amazing. Our waitress was attentive and kind. Food and drink were DELICIOUS. Definitely give the Gingerbread cocktail a try!
We went on a Thursday morning, and while we made a reservation, we didn't need one as it wasn't too busy. We initially got a bit lost on where to enter as there's stores and a cafe before the hostess area and not really any signs. I got a caramel latte and it was excellent! Opted for the omelet while my husband got the lemon poppyseed pancakes. You get a great portion of food. His came with 5 full size pancakes and we were surprised at how much food it was. The pancakes were hands down the best part of the meal. I kept stealing a bite from his plate. My omelet was also very good, the potatoes were seasoned well and the omelet was balanced with flavor and ingredients. Overall, a great choice for a breakfast/brunch spot.
From the front door to the table, it was marvelous! Coffee bar, tea bar, all can be ordered from your table. Sit in the atrium, it’s the best spot! We had marvelous staff member take our pictures. Best service too! There’s a candle pouring opportunity and lots of gift ideas, including books! Such an amazing place!
Amazing Location with great Atmosphere. They have a coffee, wine and tea bar! The Food and drinks are a little more expensive but so freaking good. Perfect for a date or a girls brunch!
First time at OE and it was lovely! We made a reservation and parked in the lot upon arrival. Walking in it’s a surprisingly beautiful and hip building. The restaurant is a little noisy but not too bad, the atmosphere is still great! Between the three of us at the table, we each ordered an alcoholic beverage, a cold brew coffee, and four entrees. Total plus tip was $130 which is less than what I’ve spent for two people at previous places so I was pleased lol!!
Our server Ryan was very attentive, made great suggestions, and was clear spoken (I have a difficult time hearing people when there’s a lot going on and I did not have this issue with him so that was awesome!)
