Buddy Brew Coffee

This Buddy Brew along Kennedy (not the Oxford Exchange one) is the perfect place to stay for awhile. Study, work, read or enjoy just hanging out with a nice coffee amidst plenty of seating. They have 2 rooms full of spots to sit, and even a cute area they call the “Buddy Brew academy”. As always, the cold brew here is king- it’s called Buddy Brew for a reason. Other coffees can be decent but are typically made pretty sweet if it’s flavored any way. They have some baked goods and sandwiches to order along with coffee and tea. One of the best menus of any Buddy Brew location I’ve been to. Super cute & cozy. Parking is around back and is the only thing that can be a little rough, as they’re located right along a major road and not far from the airport.

As a local business owner with Heaven Sent Roofing, I’m always meeting clients and team members around Tampa, and Buddy Brew is a reliable spot every time. I personally enjoy their matcha, which is consistently smooth and well prepared. The environment is professional yet relaxed, making it perfect for quick meetings or a midday break between job sites. Great service, clean space, and a strong local brand we’re happy to support.

Buddy Brew came to my job today for Valentine’s Day. The coffee was rich, smooth, and beautifully balanced. Bold enough to satisfy without being overpowering, it delivered deep flavor in every sip. The aroma was just as inviting as the taste, making the whole experience feel comforting and indulgent. A perfect choice for anyone who truly appreciates a well-crafted cup of coffee.

Great coffee and tea experience here today with a cappuccino and hot green tea. Great service for made to order beverages. We passed on the great array of pastries and lunch options.

I stopped into Buddy Brew Coffee and tried the iced sugar cookie matcha. As sweet as it sounds, it was surprisingly well-balanced—not overwhelming at all, just sweet enough to really enjoy without feeling heavy. The ambience is great too. The space is open and thoughtfully laid out, so you don’t feel cramped, and it’s genuinely a solid spot for studying or getting work done. Overall, a cozy, welcoming café with drinks that definitely impressed me. Would recommend.
