Visiting Tampa for a work trip and decided to try this coffee chain out. This is my first time trying an Affogato ($6.75) and this may be my new favorite thing to get at a coffee shop. Too bad too too cold to be having this in NYC.I also got a large Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte ($7) which tastes great as well. The staff members are super friendly and for someone stepping into their shop for the first time, I appreciate them being patient as I navigate through their menu.

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.

Popped into Buddy Brew for myself and a few friends. They have a pretty good menu with a variety of options. There were only two people working (one for the first 10 minutes we were there) so service was a little slow when they had a line. Drinks were great though, very tasty. The area is open and has a few places to sit, not recall your typical coffee shop but it's cool for a quick pop in.

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.

While staying in downtown Tampa, we were on the lookout for coffee and luckily found buddy brew nearby. The Americano here was alright, but we particularly liked the Bucco Bruce which has rich dairy along with a nice zing from the citrus. We found ourselves back here multiple times during our visit and wished there were Buddy Brews in our part of the US. Parking can be easy enough to find if you circle around or go to the paid lot and ordering was simple through online pickup or at the counter.

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.

I'm in Tampa while my husband takes the Bar exam and I went on the hunt for a cozy place to work remotely. Stumbled upon buddy brew which was a short walk from the hotel, and instantly fell in love. The food is delicious, coffee is great, and the wifi is premium. Working remote has been a breeze, works even better than the wifi from hotel. And the turkey sandwich with the sriracha aioli is something I'll think about constantly. One of the better lavender lattes I've ever had as well. I wish I could pack this place up and take it back to Miami with me. Highly recommend!

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

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

Was super excited to try buddy brew! I was going to sit and work while eating and get a drink. But as soon as I stepped into the coffee shop it was so hot. I messaged a couple friends who have gone here and they said it's super muggy in there all the time. I left right away. I couldn't imagine sitting there for hours with how warm it was. Looked like they had good items on the menu but couldn't try it before I left. Will not be returning.
