Buddy Brew Coffee - Sarasota
1289 N Palm Ave, Sarasota, FL
Crema's Take
“This cozy downtown Sarasota spot pulls exceptional espresso shots that keep regulars coming back year after year, and their baristas like Jordan have mastered the art of silky, perfectly-frothed milk drinks. Beyond coffee, they've earned devoted fans for creative house specialties like their cookie butter matcha and inventive pastries ranging from strawberry rhubarb scones to bacon biscuits, making it as much a destination for bold flavor combinations as for stellar espresso. The intimate indoor space spills into a covered outdoor area perfect for lingering, where you'll feel the genuine warmth of a neighborhood favorite that's been earned through consistent quality and care.”

We ordered a flat white, cookie butter matcha, strawberry rhubarb scone, orange chocolate bread and bacon biscuit. Everything was amazing! Their espresso is silky and so tasty and if you're in the mood for a sweet drink, the specialty matcha was delicious! The scone and bread were some of the best I've had and the sandwich was fresh, very tasty and plenty big to fill me up. The homemade biscuit was dense and perfectly cooked. The outdoor space was very nice, has plenty of space and is dog friendly. Our only regret is that we found it on our last day here! It was well worth the trip into town from Lido Key! We got a big bag of espresso beans to bring home on our way out and we'll definitely be back during our annual trip next year :)
Been enjoying this great coffee spot since 2015 yet I needed to highlight the wonderful lattes made by the barista Jordan. On our last three visits Jordan made a perfectly frothed latte and served it beautifully…delicious and at the proper temperature as well! Thank you Jordan!
My husband and I stopped by randomly. He got the pumpkin iced latte and I got an iced matcha, as well as some pastries. This place did not disappoint. The coffee they use is fantastic and the staff was super friendly and pleasant to talk with. If you are looking for a coffee shop, definitely would recommend this place 👌
The banana bread was so yummy and the matcha was just the way i like it. I love the atmosphere inside, the only thing is i wished the outdoor seating was brighter.
Small coffee and pastry shop in downtown Sarasota. Best triple-shot espresso I've had in years. The inside is small, with limited seating, but it has plenty of comfortable seating in covered area just beyond the door. Perfect for that morning or afternoon cup-o-joe. In the midst of activities and a short walk to the Bayfront. Staff was polite, efficient, and knowledgeable. Will return often.
