It is a large store that has everything on your grocery list including items for that new recipe you want to try and the best bakery goods this side of the Mississippi.
The Bakery at the Anna Maria Publix
Well that last statement is just my opinion, but wow everything is fantastic. Whether you need a last minute birthday cake, a unique loaf of bread for dinner or donuts for your office meeting Publix is the perfect place. Did I mention they also make elegant wedding cakes that are all works of art not to mention delicious. Usually you go to weddings and they have these frilly cakes that don’t taste as good as they look. My wedding cake was a Publix original with different shaped tiers and tea lights on the corners.
My husband and I chose a red velvet cake with their famous buttercream icing. It also had vanilla custard and strawberry filling. We got so many complements, and there wasn’t any cake left sitting on tables at the end of the reception. They also have a deli counter that makes sandwiches to order and fresh sushi for the more adventurous. You can stop there on the way to the beach and get everything you would need for a picnic or just snacks for the kids.

The Pine Avenue General store is a wonderful small convenience store located in Anna Maria City right on Pine Avenue. The store does not have auto fuel but serves normal convenience store goods. Magazines, soda’s, medicine, milk, basic products to get you through the day or the evening. The Pine avenue store also will make sandwiches to order and they offer limited lunch meats.
Pine Avenue General Store Foods
They also have chicken salad, cold salads, and heated sandwiches. The Cuban pressed sandwiches are fantastic. The General Store actually has a full menu online that you can check out to see what all the options are.
One favorite for my family is to stop by the Pine Avenue store on our way up to the Bay Front park or one of the Anna Maria City piers and pick up a quick lunch for $20 and sit and eat and take in the natural wonders of the Tampa Bay.
For teenage aged children I would suggest going to the Rod and Reel pier or the public pier and have lunch just sitting on the edge of the pier or on the benches provided on the Rod and Reel pier. If you have pre-teenage children then a good bet is to visit the playground at the Bay Front Park just a quick two blocks North once you reach the end of Pine Avenue. Some of my fondest memories often revolve around the simplest of activities. A quick relaxing picnic lunch is just what you were looking for. Remember RELAX, your on vacation!
