If you love antiques you will love this shop! We went for the paint and sip class which was amazing. It was nice that when we took breaks we could browse the shop.

I am not normally in Seminole heights, nor do I usually go to vintage stores. However, both happened after we left Generation Food Court. Vintage Post Marketplace is one among several stores and restaurants in that small area. Upon walking in I was surprised that the store was pretty large. I guess I was expecting a small-time shop. I was immediately drawn to the vintage jewelry. There were so many cool, pretty pieces. The prices seemed reasonable, but still slightly high for my budget. There were so many other cool trinkets and doodads. They had furniture, Edison bulbs, pictures, photos, clothes, shoes, dishes, and a backroom of just big furniture pieces. They also have a section for a wine and canvas-type setup(not sure if there is wine though). It was nice to see all those cool antiques, and some I recognized from my grandmother’s era or even my early days. I would suggest trying it out if you are in the area. As far as buying anything, I only considered a necklace, and had more fun perusing the items.

This is my new favorite place to shop for unique furniture/houseware! I went here for the first time recently after visiting another event nearby. They also have a sip and paint venue at this location where you can learn to paint artwork on a canvas in a classroom setting towards the side of the store. That I have not experienced here yet. I mostly window shopped and ended up buying something eventually. The furniture selections are amazing and unique. Many of the household items feature repurposed items built together by local artists. For example, look up at the light fixture above the front cashiers counter(I regret not taking a photo of this). These are definitely conversation pieces for your home. The style of most of their items is very trendy. Some of them are on the vintage side also if that’s your style. The photos featured on this site speaks for themselves. It’s absolutely worth the visit. Even if you’re just here to window shop like I did.

If you’ve lived in Tampa long enough, you might notice that it’s located at the old post office. This is a pretty good vintage place. Some very interesting pieces. There’s a fair amount of new stuff also. They have a wide array of furniture and art and knick knacks. They even had a framed newspaper drawing from the late 1800’s! The staff let me alone for a fair amount of time and then asked if I needed their help finding anything. That was nice. I don’t like sales people constantly on me. These guys were friendly and not overbearing. Most of the prices were pretty good but I saw quite a few that seemed well over priced. I would like to come back when I have more money, definitely.

I don’t really buy too much vintage stuff or antiques, but someone out there does, and I’m glad this place is here for them. I saw old school record players, tables, chairs, buffet servers, hutches and lawn furniture, all of which were in pretty amazing condition and reasonably priced. When we waltzed in, we were immediately greeted, but were followed around by staff members trying to sell us things, and I’m a fan of that. If I end up buying an old home one day, I will probably come back for some period-appropriate flair.

I liked it. Nice large space. Interesting furnishings. Fun to explore and in an area with some good eats and other places to explore(Sherry’s Yesterdaze vintage store which I love and Refinrey across the street. and Independent down the block.) Check it before you wreck it.

If you are looking for antique/vintage goods, and are in Seminole Heights, you will find a nice handful of stores. This is one of them. You will find jewelry, house decs, furniture, clothes, and collectibles. It is a good size store, and even has a back room filled with furniture. There’s gotta be something for everyone. The prices are different depending on how long they have been sitting in the store. There is also an area for groups to paint, kind of like the other places where they have paint and sip. It’s definitely a cool store to check out!

Great staff and even better selection of cool vintage and crafted goods. I’ve furnished half of my house from vintage post and always find great gifts! The paint and sip is also tons of fun and you leave with a beautiful finished product! Definitely worth a trip

Vintage Post Marketplace is a great shopping addition to the Seminole Heights neighborhood. I stopped in on Saturday to browse and was impressed with their collection and prices. Vintage Post Marketplace offers everything from furniture to clothing to décor to antique items to jewelry and much much more. The space is huge and there is certainly a lot to look at on the floor. I was very impressed by what good condition the items were in and how well they were priced. I will definitely be back here next time I am looking for antique home décor!

Why 5 stars? Because they have great stuff at FAIR prices! — — — You know how you go into thrift/consignment shops with cool, retro furniture and décor… and you’re like — wow, I could decorate my whole house with this stuff! And then, you discover the absolute lunacy of the prices. It doesn’t take too long before the fun of being in the store shifts from, «Look at this great stuff!» –to– «Guess how much this 12″ jewelry chest? $ 439!!! What the hell is going on here??» Well, Vintage Post is NOT that! We walked all throughout the store and never once did we feel like something was priced unfairly. It’s all just… normal. And it’s really cool stuff too! I bought a giant, old, rustic @ sign to put on the wall in my office. I’m obsessed with it! It’s perfectly themed for what I do. Who wouldn’t want an @ symbol in their office? I am re-doing some things in my house, so I’m not sure where everything is going yet, but once I’m all settled, I’m definitely going back to Vintage Post for some more great stuff! And by the way, the people in here are super-friendly as well — definitely check them out! Another amazing business in Seminole Heights! I’m starting to lose track!

Diverse collection of styles and prices. Not sure why they don’t have a facebook page to highlight themselves and unique items.

What a great addition to Seminole Heights! Vintage Post Marketplace is located in the old post office on Florida Avenue, and they have utilized every last bit of space to offer unique and interesting merchandise. Because the space is so large, they have everything spread out in an organized manner so it is easy to get a good look at all the goods. I think Marketplace is such a perfect name for what they have to offer. There is a great mixture of new items and old items. The store is divided into many different vignettes, so it is easy to transition from one section to the next. There is a wonderful section of new, steampunk style jewelry. There is a good-sized section of gently used clothing, with plenty of options for both men and women. There is restored old furniture, upcycled furniture, and recycled furniture. Lots of options for home decorating. I fell in love with a gorgeous butterfly armchair, and some adorable Lenox china spice shakers — both of which I have never seen before in any store. One of the things I love about this store is the price markdown system — for every month something is there, it is marked down a certain percentage. And it shows on the tag, so it takes away all the guesswork. They have rented space out to vendors, so that should keep the flow of new items changing rapidly. This is the kind of store that every month will have completely new merchandise to browse, I imagine. Tip — make sure you wander into the back rooms — it’s easy to miss those, and they have a ton of merchandise in that area. I’m afraid this store is going to be a danger zone for my wallet — I can’t imagine shopping here and not leaving with something!
