Publix Greenwise Market

Impressed!!! It was clean, so many different options, buffet of hot items, and the best part a gelato selection to eat in the mini food court.
As always, the staff was out standing. We couldn’t believe the variety of just water and had fun reading through all the descriptions. One actually said, Imported from Earth.”
Any time I’m in the area, we will go back to explore done more. We were on our way to a job so we didn’t have much time. From what we saw, it is worth another trip!!!

This Publix has a great, expanded lunch area. Similar to Whole Foods, there is a salad bar, a hot food bar, soups, subs and other sandwiches made to order and more. There is sushi too, but it is over in the fish section of the store. Anyway, whatever you choose, you can eat it there at one of the tables, or get it to go. Unlike Whole Foods, it is easy in and easy out of the parking lot. Because it is between Howard and Armenia, it is easy to get to from 275 and my job in Ybor. When I go over to the Target/​Whole Foods complex getting in and out can be murder. It takes much less time going here, which means I have more time to enjoy my lunch.
This was the first time I had food from the hot food bar, I tried a couple different Asian style dishes and they were all pretty good. One complaint my friends and I had was that there was no sauce for the egg rolls. They do have condiments over by the drinks, but they did not have anything that would go on egg rolls or hot sauce (there was ketchup, mustard, salt pepper and of all things, grape jelly.)
We sat outside and it was really nice because the landscaping blocks the road.
I frequently hit the Publix on Platt Street because they have a lot of fresh, pre-​made salads and sushi for lunch, and I can always pick up a few groceries and keep them in the fridge at work so I don’t have to stop after work. However, I think we are going to start going to this store a little more because my friend really liked it as well.
I would say if you work in and around Ybor, South Tampa or even downtown, this is a good option.

Excellent hot food choices fresh and tasty. The deli is also good quality meats by bores head. One thing that I could suggest is that they have a slicer dedicated for those people that don’t eat pork, but got to admit that every time I ask for them to clean the slicer they do with a smile

Publix Greenwise is known as the more elite and much-​hyped facet of the Publix enterprise. This Publix, located in the Soho area, is fancy and urban styled, offering parking on the second floor in a garage while the market itself exists on the first floor. The escalator for the shopping carriages (so they make their way to the parking garage) are pretty cool, yet somewhat essential novelty.
This market touts having healthy options and for the most part it does. There are also a great deal of items that you can find at any other Publix locations. There are a good variety of produce, however not all organic, and I have seen more organic options as of recently. There is a small floral area if you are in need of flowers. The wine department stocks some great labels and offers special pricing on select wines occasionally. There are also wine tasting, on occasion. I also enjoy the natural products aisles found in the front central area of the store.
This location has a (customizable) salad and sandwich making bar, offers hot entrees and soups, gelato, fried chicken meals, as well as bakery items and other specialty entrees which can be warmed in store or taken home to eat. The deli counter has varied offerings as well. I enjoy that the seafood section often has specials and discounted cuts on fish in a case adjacent (where the smoked fish and other specialty seafood offerings are) to the main seafood bay.
The cheese selection is great and I love how there is an area next to the bakery which is stocked with bread made in house and grab-​and-​go bread and rolls.
This location has sales and additional discounts with coupons so check the circulars. In addition, there are certain areas of the store where discounted items are shelved so be sure to check those out.
I do think that for a «Greenwise market there should be more organic produce and herbs for sale. I find myself traveling to Rollin’ Oats to purchase organic produce for a great price. For instance, I never see organic cilantro at this location. When I do see organic produce here, it is very high-​priced.
Overall I like the selection at this store it find he prices to be a bit high. I do enjoy the sales when there are some and for the most part I can find what I am looking for while grocery shopping. Thanks, Publix Greenwise, for creating a unique shopping experience.

The café here is out of control. You can easily visit this Publix on your lunch break and leave satisfied. I love coming here to get their great steaks .They always carry Kobe Beef Prime and Prime steaks. Which you can’t find just anywhere. Not only do they carry some great steaks, they have a great selection of organic food and beauty items. Service is always on point and the store is super clean.

I love Publix! They have such a great customer service model, that the higher prices are absolutely worth it.
This one, specifically is one of the newer stores that has a great design to it, making shopping a pleasure. It is something of a mix between a normal supermarket and a Whole Foods, making it that much more a pleasure.
The layout of this one specifically was very, very unique. Instead of the traditional straight aisles that supermarkets generally have, this one had kind of a curvy flow to it, creating «zones» for fruit and veggies, meat, cheese, dli, hot bar, etc. On the bad side, that meant that I didn’t have the sense of knowing where everything would be instinctively, but you learn that quickly, and it made for a far more interesting and pleasant experience.
Also love the park on top and escalator for the carts. I like it enough that while this is not the closest Publix to where we live, this is the one I will go to!

Love love love this Publix! I live in Seminole Heights and I still will drive over to Hyde Park if I have to shop on my own. To tell you the truth I use Shipt and have my groceries delivered cause it is just SO much easier but if I do have a rare trip to the store this is the one I go too.
It is the cleanest Publix I know of, the staff is super friendly and helpful. I am always asked at least 3 to 4 times per shopping trip if there is anything I need help with. I am sure the location and usual clientele okay into this. The seafood counter is always full of a wide variety of seafood, it’s mimics the seafood counter at Whole Foods. The meat department has a great selection, a lot of which is organic and hormone free. I also really like the olive and cheese section. They carry a lot of choices that you can’t find at other locations.
If you do your own shopping take the time and hit this Publix. You won’t be sorry.

I spend around $ 150 a week at the Publix Greenwise. I bought 5 Publix brand frozen pizzas yesterday on 10.27.15 When I went to put one in the oven today I noticed the expiration date was May. I looked at all of the other pizzas and realized they expired in May and June! I eat these pizzas all the time and do not normally notice the expiration dates so I can’t imagine how many expired pizzas I have eaten. The store is clean and beautiful but buyer beware! Very disappointed in this public health hazard that could sicken customers, especially children.

Having just moved here, I wasn’t aware that Publix had a Greenwise market. We have instead just been going to whole foods, which I love but it’s much farther away from us than this Publix. What an awesome alternative to Whole Foods, not only are the price is a little bit better on the organic foods, but there is also the variety of other brands that aren’t organic or all-​natural. Of course we strive to eat organic as much as we can, but our budget doesn’t always allow it… so the store is a great for us because it allows us to shop in both the organic and nonorganic categories. It’s so awesome that they have garage parking, because there isn’t a lot of parking around there. And the massive elevators so you can fit as many cards as you need to in there. Also massive plus, is how clean the store is! I always appreciate that from a place where I buy my food!

This is. A nice «city style» Publix market. The store is well appointed and well lit. Shopping is convenient and the produce and foods offered are high quality. They have nice flowers, deli offerings, and good customer service. I approve. The organic prices are crazy. $ 8 for three zucchini? Bring on the pesticide.
I was at 4 stores for the convenience and cleanliness but now I’m down to 2.
*No Ivory Soap
*Only Extra Strength Tylenol
*None of the original Ricola’s just sugar free and Publix brand
*If you pronounce Publix wrong it sounds inappropriate
*The last guy I had at check out kept twisting the face piercing sticking out from below his lip and was then touching my groceries.
I much prefer Trader Joes. Aldi is better curated with tastier offerings and better deals. And Publix food is full of preservatives and dough conditioners and all sorts of nastiness I don’t want.
Make it fresh please and leave out the garbage!!!
And why can’t I get preservative free tortillas? Bo will have to send some back from L.A. The ones with lard are delicioso. So much better than the shelf stable crap you get aqui.

Never seen one of these before, but its a Publix + Whole Foods (= Wholix, if you will). If you walk around you forget that you are in a Publix.
It’s got all the good stuff of both. The Whole Food selection with Publix prices. They also carry cheap brand stuff too unlike Whole Foods where everything is vegan or all natural type products (or just really pricey). I still like whole foods for certain things, but this is a nice change. I really hope to see one in Miami.
The service is very friendly and not annoyed by say a coupon couple. I really think Publix as a whole is always friendly, but I can say that this one def is.

Great market, they know their target market well and have almost anything my wee yuppy heart could desire. From Epsom Salts to Dr. Bronner’s Soap. Organic raw cashews to singles of different beers.
Plus traditional excellent public sandwiches.
Good deli and cheese counter too.
Their fish looks good but haven’t bought any yet.
Minus 1 star for not having a loyalty program. Get your game up Greenwise.

Love love love this grocery store. It has great organic products and way more produce options than a regular publix store. Some items are more expensive but that it just the price you pay to shop here.
I love the fact that it has a parking garage so when it rains I don’t have to run withy groceries and end up getting soaked!

As the only organic Greenwise Publix in Tampa and one of the only 3 in the state, this unicorn flagship grocery store must be treasured as a rare gift bestowed to the elite Soho tribe! Located close to home, I come here often for their Baja Chicken Artisan Salad! Only Greenwise Publix’s Deli freshly prepares salads for you like this! At $ 8.29 for a salad, it is a bit pricey but not when you consider that its restaurant quality and big enough to split with 2 people and make both people full. The Baja Chicken salad comes with grilled Cajun chicken, sunflower seeds, romaine lettuce, baby greens, endive, radicchio, black beans, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, pepper Jack and cheddar cheese. The deli also makes: a Salmon salad, Greek salad, Boars head Turkey Southern Cobb Salad, and Boars Head Chef Salad. They have a huge salad bar where you can make your own salad, a hot meal bar, sushi station, large cut meats station, large bakery section with custom breads and deserts. Publix makes one of the best Cuban Sandwiches on a Pressed Cuban Bread with Boars Head Deli Tavern Ham, Boars Head Roast Pork, Boars Head Swiss Cheese, Dill Pickles, Yellow Mustard, and Mayo. I also like Publix’s meatball, ultimate, and philly subs. This grocery store offers a huge selection of organic foods and prepared foods that you can eat Right away. This upscale health conscious organic centered publix, is the only one in all of Tampa. In fact, Miami, Orlando, and Jacksonville dont even have One yet. The only other 2 cities to have a Greenwise publix is Palm Beach Gardens and Boca Raton. This place reminds me a lot of the upscale Kroger grocery store in Buckhead Atlanta. The prices are naturally higher here than a regular other grocery store and the selection might not be as large, so I wouldn’t buy everything here, but it’s still a lot cheaper than Whole foods also known as Whole Pay Check. Trader Joe’s also serves as a nice alternative to Whole foods right down the street off Swann and Dale Mabry at a lower price but doesn’t offer as many prepared meals and as good of service as publix so it’s a trade off. Ill be coming back again! :)

Compared to other Publix stores in the area, Publix Greenwise has a large selection of organic or higher-​end food products. The prices can be a little higher for some items so it’s a good idea to get those non-​speciality items elsewhere.
I love that there is a parking garage. It makes shopping in the rain considerably less wet. They also have a hot food bar that serves some fairly tasty foods.
The bakery produces wonderful treats however I have struggled with the service there every time I’ve come to buy from them. I can give high marks to Jen in the event planning department as she helped me make my daughter’s birthday cake a reality! I also recently bought 5 lbs ($ 5/​lb) of their famous buttercream frosting for a cake I baked. It helped me pull off the appearance that I know what I’m doing when it comes to baking!!!

My husband and I love picking up dinner at Greenwise about every other week.
The soups are all delicious. I love the Chicken and Wild Rice, Lobster Bisque, Turkey Sausage, Kale and Sweet Potato. They also have a hot bar of mostly Asian food and a salad bar. The Asian food is surprisingly good. There are Publix subs including some different choices than typical Publix like Roasted Veggie and Goat Cheese and Honey Maple Turkey with Brie. They make custom salads along with ready-​made. They have a grill and make burgers, shrimp po’boys, fish sandwiches (my favorite!), etc. I haven’t tried the pizza yet but it seems popular.
It’s great to place an order, pick up a few groceries, then swing back over to pick it up. The store has natural/​organic items as well as a small selection of typical Publix groceries.

On a rainy day like today, it’s nice to be able to park and shop without getting wet.
I agree with Brett’s assessment of this Publix. It’s great for everything except groceries. Want to order a wedding cake or find weird vitamins? Come here. Want basic staple ingredients? Come here but be prepared to have to go somewhere else too.

I didn’t even know that this place existed! I drove by and decided to check it out. I was in my exploring mood. Greenwise = Publix + Whole Foods. I recommend this place for sure :) 4 stars because it’s a little pricey.

I didn’t really know why people were crabbing about the Seminole Heights Publix until I went to this one. WOW. Awesome grocery store. Tons of organic options, lots of veggie foods (biggest selection of fake cheese, including multiple flavors and styles, I’ve ever seen), nice looking produce, and the prices are much better than at Whole Foods. We’ll definitely be going here again. Also, free parking garage above the store so if it’s raining this is a great option since neither you nor your cart will be wet.

When I discovered this existed (thanks to a trusty little app), I knew I wanted to visit at least once when I was in the area. The way I can think to describe it is it’s like Publix & Whole Foods had an affair and the Greenwise Market is their love child.
The cheese section was to die for. The multiple food bars was impressive. I wanted to get a cart just so I could use the cart escalator, but I was denied my fun. And price wise for the selection they have, it is comparable to your regular Publix store. They do have a larger proportion of organic/​greenwise products, so on first glance it may look more expensive. Plus, finding everything you want may prove to be a little more difficult.
This store happens to be not far from where we stay when we’re in the area. So if we happen to be in need of something — with a hop, skip, and a jump — we can find what we’re looking for. I don’t know if it’s because they’re that much closer to Lakeland, but they seemed to carry products that hadn’t yet made it into our regular stores in Jax.
One check in the Pro column: Their own parking garage. Definitely a plus as street parking in Tampa can prove to be an interesting adventure.
