About Palms of Carrollwood Shopping Center
Palms of Carrollwood Shopping Center sits on N Dale Mabry Hwy in Tampa as a multi-store retail center anchored by a Fresh Market grocery store. Tenants span fitness, coffee, mattresses, and auto repair, alongside a Barnes & Noble bookstore and a pet store. Simply Pho, a Vietnamese restaurant, gives shoppers a sit-down option amid the retail mix. The center carries home goods including bedding, kitchenware, towels, and decor items. It operates as a walk-in destination with no appointment needed, open daily. Once parked, shoppers reach the storefronts within a short walk of the lot, keeping the grocery run, a bookstore visit, and a meal within reach of a single parking spot.

Customer Review Summary
Shoppers repeatedly praise the variety packed into this center, from fitness and auto repair to a bookstore, pet store, and multiple restaurants within a short walk of each other. Fresh Market draws the most consistent enthusiasm, with reviewers naming the French vanilla bread, honey pasta salad, grapes, and Swiss almond cheese spread as standouts, alongside a Vietnamese spot praised for its pho. At the buffet restaurants, fried chicken and egg rolls get singled out as the highlights, though one diner warns the macaroni and cheese should be skipped, and another notes raw oysters at a hibachi buffet. Not every stop satisfies: one breakfast visit to Kekes involved a cracked glass, burned potatoes, and a disappointing omelet, leaving that reviewer unlikely to return. A returning Barnes & Noble is welcomed but described as noticeably smaller than before, and a couple of visitors mention parking can be difficult despite the free and paid lots on site.

“I mostly just go for the pet store and book store and those two shops are great. Parking can be difficult sometimes though”
- Jon Williamson
“It's good to have a Barnes & noble back again, bit it is a lot smaller than the one we had before in the same neighborhood.”
- Melissa Battle Saunders
“So many new shops and restaurants that are much needed to this area I visited for the first time this week and really enjoyed it. I had a blowout at a salon and then Mexican food right next- total win!”
- Shannon Basile
“We had breakfast at Kekes. We were given a cracked glass with my order of Cranberry juice. My potatoes were burned and tasted awful. My husband was very disappointed in his omelet as well. My son ordered a waffle with bacon and enjoyed his. I don't think we'll be returning.”
- CARMEN SERRANO-TRUITT
“There are so many reasons to come here. Their French vanilla bread is amazing. Their honey pasta salad is delicious. They have the best grapes that I can find anywhere. They sell a Swiss almond cheese spread that is excellent.”
