    Great coffee and great customer service. I love the espresso and I love the fact that you can also get fresh juices on the spot. This is a great place to stop for a morning coffee or a coffee while you're on a training run in the morning.

    I can't comment on the coffee because I don't drink coffee but my BF likes their coffee. I had a breakfast sandwich. I was disappointed that they were out of biscuits but the breakfast sandwich was decent. They said it came with a side so I got the side of fruit. It was 2 orange slices, which I feel like does not constitute a side of fruit. Most of the seating is bar type seating, not very cozy in there.

    Cute decor

    My boyfriend and I are in Tampa for the week and wanted to try a local coffee place instead of Starbucks. We got the cold brew float and iced latte with mocha, and the bacon biscuit and The TBR to eat. The float was good and the iced latte was just ok. The food was unfortunately underwhelming. My bacon biscuit was supposed to come with a side a fruit but it wasn't included. We didn't realize it was left out until we got back to our hotel. The TBR had only 1 small piece of turkey breast and didn't look anything like the picture shown online. Both sandwiches were good but nothing special. The drinks and food came out to around $35. I don't think the iced latte or the sandwiches are worth the price. I love the decor. It's trendy and modern. The staff was really nice. I'd maybe give Buddy Brew another chance if we were local.

    Cortado? Cor Not-o

    Look, when it comes to coffee, there is amazing, great, good, bad, undrinkable, this location of Buddy Brew falls into the rare category of undrinkable. I'm not even trying to be a jerk, the ambiance is nice and modern, but I kid you not when I say I took one sip and I thought I drank coffee doo doo from when my dog accidentally got into my old coffee grounds. We got two drinks, a cortado and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was worse than when I let my 3 year old nephew use my nespresso. Suffice to say it tasted like the barista did not know how to work the machine. A general lack in understanding how to grind coffee and steam milk. The espresso was bitter and no crema and the milk was burnt so badly it left me making this face :/ over and over. The cortado? Tasted like feet no milk at all. Did they use the foam from left over dishwater? Do yourself a favor skip this place all together and go to Starbucks. Total waste of a good location and ambiance.

    I had picked up a Cuban sandwich at a nearby location, another restaurant altogether, and I needed a really good coffee to complement this gourmet experience. Having a long relationship with Buddy Brew, and being close by, I had to stop by and check out this location in downtown. And what can I say? Awesome, state of the art facility, gorgeous architecture and design in the middle of a very modern downtown area. There are nice sleek sofas that match the long minimalist coffee bar and the coffee house is very quiet. Loved the Zen in this amazing space. I've been following Buddy Brew for quite a while, I think at one point they had a Buddy Brew truck that drove around Tampa and sold coffee. I have also visited several of their locations, including the one in Sarasota/Bradenton. It all started for me when they gave me a free bag of coffee. What a freebie can do for your business is unimaginable. A few years later, Buddy Brew is one of my favorite coffee houses in Florida and the USA. They are definitively one of the top roasters in the nation.

    I have stopped here several times during the week and no matter what time of day, brewed coffee is excellent! Be sure to try the bacon biscuit if you need a great breakfast sandwich (a poached egg on the side). Staff super helpful and friendly as always, bright space and lots of seating

    I have only been to a Buddy Brew a handful of times, however, their coffee is very rich and flavorful. I really enjoy stopping here and might pass a Starbucks to get my cofee at Buddy Brew if there was a location on any normal route I travel. I would like to see a few more unique creations on the menu for coffee drinks and I have found that even when I ask for extra hot they dont make it hot enough for my liking, Little things compared to the quality of their coffee. I will continue to stop at Buddy Brew when I can

    Average coffee at a high price. Terrible customer service. Workers treat you as if your bothering them. Not with it.

    PARENTS WEEKEND ADVENTURE!!!…read more On the way home we found this place. WHAT A GEM!!! The young lady behind the counter was awesome so much personality and Customer Service oriented. She made this visit so pleasant, we definitely want to go back the next time we are in the area!!! The cappuccino and espresso tasted great!!! Very flavorful!!! The wife got a cookie and yes it and everything else are made in house according to the clerk. Food to Value Ratio: Great, pricing was fair for the quality products we received!!! Check out the menu on my pics!!! The Ambiance was nice and clean, although some of the chairs could do with replacing as they had large rips on them. It's a few miles off the highway, but it is worth it to make the time to get off grab something and get back on the highway to go home or on the way to the beach!!! For us to want to make that effort, it says allot!!! We enjoyed it and we hope you do to!!! AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

    I returned here this morning, cause it was open early and I wanted a good cup of coffee and wow was…read moreI impressed their menu is updated and their food is very fresh. I had a chocolate croissant that just melted in my mouth and the breakfast burrito with the avocado, tomato bacon cheddar Was absolutely the best I've had in town in a long time and I've eaten burritos everywhere. This place has really upped its game. I went to the location on Kennedy by the way.
