Rollin' Oats Market & Cafe

Rolling Oats TampaRollin' Oats is Tampa Bay's locally owned natural food grocer, providing high-quality products at affordable prices with unparalleled customer service. Had the pleasure of visiting the store and was highly delighted with them. So many times I've pass by them and never really knew who they were until now. Although they are a grocery store, but they do have a Cafe section where you get some delicious smoothies, soup and sandwich items. I tried out thier Vegan Macaroni Salad, Chicken Vegetables Soup, New York Cheesecake and thier Blue Spriulina Swirl . Everything was delicious.

I shop here all the time. The staff is always super helpful and friendly. I love that the market is small and a lot of the items they carry are local. I think they have a great wine and beer section as well as gluten-free items. The cafe is quite large, and you can grab food and go, which makes it easy if you want to take those items to work. They have a lot of gluten-free options in the cafe as well. I had a chance to try the new boujee Smoothies which are made from 100% fruit and they are really good. I would highly recommend shopping here.

There is so much to love about Rollin' Oats. The local selection is great, the nonlocal selection is great. It makes shopping easy because they really curate the best products (it also makes shopping tough, because it's almost too fun...) This location in particular really blew me away with some spectacular service. I called to make sure they had a product in, and not only did they go check in person to see if it was on the shelf, but they also pulled it for me to save upfront! I don't think I would ever see myself replacing a Winn Dixie or Aldi for Rollin' Oats at this point, but I really am a huge fan. And if anything, it's a super choice for a fast bite to eat! The outdoor patio is a great place to meet a friend for lunch actually. (They do not have wifi.)

ATTENTION CRAFT BEER LOVERS!! If you are looking for local or unique beers from all over the country, this is the place for you! Growing up in St. Petersburg, I frequently visited the location in St Pete so when we arrived in Tampa and discovered there was a store here, we were very excited! I'm going to be completely honest, we did not explore the store in full. We came here to stock up the fridge with local beers for the week and we were blown away by the selection. Neal, the gentleman in charge of the beer selection is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. If you have any questions or need help looking for something to fit your tastes, he is sure to find something perfect for you. They have everything from sour ales to imperial stouts, hazy IPAs to pilsners. The best part is, everything is extremely fresh! We noticed beers that were canned just a few weeks before the date we were there. Overall 10/10 craft beer selection. We ended up stopping back four other times to try out other new beers and even noticed a few new cans on the shelves. Do not miss out on this variety if you are in Tampa.

A great organic, fresh grocery store and cafe. Perfect size for the things you need including a great wine selection. I've loved the fresh food section (gluten free Mac & cheese, vegan brownie, chocolate mousse) and the cafe for their shakes (had the shamrock shake). Perfect spot for me to stop in for things I've needed while in town. Very nice counter workers at the deli - they seem like they know everyone and were very kind while making my shake. Clean, nice, good finds.

So I was on my hunt for Chill Dill pickles, and per their website this location stocks them. I took a look at other Yelper's reviews and decided to take a look. I have to admit I was a little underwhelmed. Whenever I walk in a place I always look for the greeter, most places have them, even if it's just a quick nod from the cashier. I always want to return the smile, however, I walked into Rollin' Oats and it was an absolute ghost town. There was a cashier holding up the register, but didn't bother to look in my direction at all, same with the deli staff, not a Hi, Good Morning, nothing. This doesn't make or break a place for me, but it is off putting. As I looked around I did notice they do carry a lot of vegan options, which is really nice to see how much is available in comparison to just a couple years ago. I read about the curry chicken salad from other reviews and was ready to take some home, unfortunately there was none in the deli cold case. Heard some good things about the R.O. Cafe, again another bummer, it's only M-F. I would have thought the weekend would be a good time to visit a store, but maybe this is a weekday thing? On a more positive note if you're into wine and craft beer there are walls, and cold cases, and corners, and end caps, and aisles of it -- just know you're paying for Craft Beer and artisan wines, these aren't 7-11 prices. They also have a really beautiful spice section, with some that were new to me! Oh and they did have the pickles I was in search of, so I did leave with what I was after, and then some. It's a nice little specialty market, and I'm excited to stop in again to try the hot bar I've read so much about.A video of my visit can be viewed on my IG:@jenny.eat.world_

Perfect little market that has everything you need !! So close to midtown tampa !! I got what I needed !!

I wanted to treat myself after picking up my car at an auto body shop (another review to come) after two months due to a shortage of bumpers. It has to be a special dinner - something I knew I'd love but seldom eat.As I drove down a few streets I couldn't find a place that appealed to me until I was about to drive by Rollin' Oats Grocery and Cafe in Tampa. Why not get a few things for the refrigerator and still have a great meal? Besides, it was during rush hour and I couldn't think of a better place to chill, take my time shopping and have some tasty food.Where else can you expect to find a very good ale, a tasty chunk of chicken and some chickpeas with green peppers, purple onion and a vegan mayo?The café has regular food items like Louisiana kale (highly addicting!) alongside new items regularly.I've been shopping and eating here for at least ten years and I've never been disappointed. The employees are not only friendly but very knowledgeable about their products, especially the wines and beers as well as the health and beauty items.But getting back to the food. The chickpea salad was crisp, crunchy, very flavorful and, for me, addicting since once I started on it I forgot all about the ale and chicken. I could see dill, celery, capers and taste lemon juice in addition to what I first noted above.The chicken was seasoned with a tangy hot pepper rub and was very juicy and flavorful when I bit into it. It's a good thing that I had the ale. I needed a swallow of it to calm the excited taste buds. I met no bones or gristle in this piece of solid yet tender piece of meat. Highly recommended.The Trappistes always excel in tasty, flavorful ales but don't let that rich malty flavor fool you. Good Belgian ale will send you under the table if you get too carefree.

Over the past couple of years, Rollin' Oats has become one of my favorite supermarkets in town. I actually drive farther to get here than I would to the big name grocery stores, but the payoff is worth it. There is a cafe at the back of the store that offers both cold and hot dishes, but I have only bought ready-made items, so this review is just for the Market.Reasons I love the Market: first of all, the place is never crowded. I love being able to get in, get random groceries, and get out. Need water during the hurricane madness? They'll have it - no one comes here. Second, huge parking lot, never full, so I always get a first row parking spot. Third, they have an apple-walnut chicken salad that I am truly addicted to. It's located in the ready-made section at the back of the store. I love it. Fourth, check-out is usually quick and easy. Finally, I love that almost everything in the store is healthy, or at least, healthier than many options in other grocery stores.You will have to make compromises on some of the groceries you end up with; they don't offer many varieties of the same item to choose from (except tea!). But that is a small price to pay, and the convenience of this Market more than makes up for it.

Best supermarket ever they have great prices on wine. Attentive staff. I can't say enough good things.
